Rendell's office isn't saying before the Monday morning news conference how many firms bid on the deal, or the size of the largest bid.
The governor's been pursuing a privatization plan to raise billions for the state's transportation needs. He's said he'll pass along the highest bid to the Legislature for its consideration.

Carl DeFebo, a spokesman for the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission, says additional information federal regulators want as they consider whether to approve I-80 tolls will be probably not be ready in the coming days.
He says the timetable is more like "weeks or months."
