The Corbett administration has ordered the cancellation of an $8.6 million PennDot contract with a Colorado firm implicated in a recent grand jury investigation of the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission.

The PennDot contract for information technology services with Ciber Inc., of Denver, will be put out to bid again, Corbett's office said.

Dennis Miller, 51, a Ciber vice president, was one of eight people charged last month with crimes involving bribes, gifts, and campaign contributions in the award of Turnpike contracts. The Turnpike's contract with Ciber was terminated in 2011.
