Directions:

  2. Date and initial the top of each form after you have completed it and sign the form on the last page.
  3. NOTE: There are two different types of campaign contribution disclosure forms: one for those who are applying as individuals and one for those applying as businesses.  Only fill out one type of form.  (If you have used a consultant with respect to applying for this non-competitively bid contract you will have to fill out a campaign contribution disclosure form for them as well.)

 

Getting Started

There are five sets of disclosure forms enclosed in this packet.  You must provide information for each disclosure form.  The information you must disclose includes:

  1. Any contributions (defined as a provision of money, in-kind assistance, discounts, forbearance or any other valuable thing) made during the two years prior to the application deadline for this non-competitively bid contract opportunity;
  2. The name of any consultant(s) you used to help in obtaining the non-competitively bid contract and any campaign contributions they have made during the two years prior to the application deadline;

More information on Disclosing Campaign Contributions

Applicants for contract opportunities must disclose any contributions they made to:

-        A candidate for nomination or election in any public office in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

-        An incumbent in any public office in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

-        A political committee or state party in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

-        A group, committee, or association organized in support of any candidate, office holder, political committee or state party in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

 

Attribution Rules.  In addition to disclosing contributions made directly by the applicant, the applicant will be asked to supply information on other types of contributions.  The campaign contribution disclosure forms will include questions that specifically ask for information on these other types of contributions.  These contributions will be attributed to the individual or business and will be used to determine the applicant’s eligibility to be awarded a contract.

 

Businesses (i.e. corporation, limited liability company, partnership association, joint venture, or any other legal entity) have to disclose contributions made by the following:

-        Applicant business

-        Parent, subsidiary, or otherwise affiliated entity of the applicant business (“affiliate”)

-        An individual or business that is then reimbursed by the applicant business or affiliate

-        Officers, directors, controlling shareholders, or partners of the for-profit applicant business or for-profit affiliate

-        Political action committee controlled by applicant business or affiliate

-        Political action committee controlled by officer, director, controlling shareholder, or partner of the for-profit applicant business or for-profit affiliate

 

 

 

 

Individuals have to disclose contributions made by the following:

-        Applicant individual

-        Member of individual’s immediate family (i.e., spouse, life partner, or dependent child living at home), when contributions are in excess of $2600

 

In addition to direct contributions to candidates, incumbents, or political committees in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, applicants are also required to disclose:

  1. Contributions not directly given to a candidate, incumbent, or political committee but made with the intent that the contribution will benefit the candidate, incumbent, or political committee;
  2. Solicitation of contributions on behalf of a candidate, incumbent, or political committee, including the hosting of or solicitation at fundraising events (required to disclose details regarding the date of event and amount raised); and
  3. Contributions not made directly by the individual/business to a candidate, incumbent, or political committee but furnished by the individual / business (as an “intermediary”).

 

 

Eligibility Restrictions

If an individual makes contributions totaling over $2,600 in one calendar year to a candidate for City elective office or to an incumbent, the individual is not eligible to receive a non-competitively bid contract during that candidate’s or incumbent’s term of office. 

 

If a business makes contributions totaling over $10,600 in one calendar year to a candidate for City elective office or to an incumbent, the business is not eligible to receive a non-competitively bid contract during that candidate’s or incumbent’s term of office.

 

Although individuals and businesses have to disclose campaign contributions made during the two years prior to the deadline for completing these forms, the eligibility restrictions take into consideration only those contributions made on or after January 1, 2006.

 

à Note on Eligibility: If a candidate for any City elective office contributes $250,000 or more from his or her personal resources to his or her campaign, then the eligibility thresholds for individuals and businesses shall double with respect to contributions to all candidates for that same elective office (i.e. $5,200 for individuals and $21,200 for businesses).
