PER-CALL CONNECTION FEE
NYVIP UNIT MESSAGE No. 31 (2008)
5/19/2008
TO: All INSPECTION STATIONS
FROM: SGS TESTCOM
SUBJECT:
PER-CALL CONNECTION FEE
Under contract with
the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles (NYSDMV), SGS Testcom
Inc. is the provider of NYVIP equipment and information management
for the New York Vehicle Inspection Program (NYVIP). Your inspection
station has a contract with SGS Testcom for those services.
This message is to
inform you that effective December 1, 2007 the per-call connection
fee has decreased to $0.331, from last year’s fee of $0.338, a net
decrease of $0.007 per call. The new reduced fee will be applied to
calls made from December 1, 2007 through November 30, 2008.
This fee is
calculated each year based on the contractual base fee of $0.365 per
call and adjusted according to the previous year’s volumes.
This fee is for
each phone call your NYVIP unit makes for an inspection. Safety
inspections, including Heavy Duty, Trailer and Motorcycle
inspections, make one phone call. Emissions inspections (High
Enhanced, Low Enhanced and OBD II) make two calls per inspection.
Due to the delay in
determining the fee, Testcom was unable to send out bills for charges
from December 2007 until the present. You will receive a separate
bill for each month, beginning with the December 2007 bill. These
bills will reflect the new fee. Each bill will be mailed separately
and should be paid promptly.
If you have
questions, you may call the SGS Testcom Help Desk at 1-866-469-8477.
These are messages sent by NYS DMV to the
inspection stations via the emissions analyzer units. They frequently contain important
information, usage tips, or announcements of system changes.
