Direct
Deposit your WVDOH Payments
There
are still a few highway contractors not taking advantage of the state's Direct
Deposit Program.
The State Auditor's Office offers contractors/vendors
the opportunity to have their payments electronically deposited directly to the
bank of their choice. The vendor then has web access to a complete accounting
of all their state payments and deposits. Direct Deposit offers a safe and efficient
means of replacing the use of paper checks.
You can learn
more about the program by going to www.wvsao.gov
and choosing “Online Sign Up for Direct Deposit” under the ELECTRONIC
PAYMENTS menu option or by calling their office at 304.558.2261, ext 2164. Be
sure to include your email address on the application so you will receive email
notification of each deposit to your account.
The WVDOH Finance Division
can also answer questions about the program and assist with getting you started.
Please feel free to call the CAWV if we can be of service.

DOH
Clarifies Load Limit Policy (109.20)
July
26, 2007 - The WVDOH hopes the memo, "Price
Adjustment for Load Limit Violations - Understanding and Complying with the Special
Provision/Governing Specifications", resolves confusion regarding Special
Provision 109.20.
Contractors and suppliers are encouraged to review this
document, as the guidelines are effective for all projects let on, or after, August
7, 2007. The memo clearly defines the Maximum Allowable Gross Weights allowed
on WVDOH projects, as determined by the project limits and whether the project
is located on a WV or US route or Interstate. The DOH Construction Division provided
this guidance to their District personnel this week.

Adjustment for Load Limit Violations - Understanding and Complying with the Special
