Bill Summary
Amending the act of February 9, 1999 (P.L.1, No.1), entitled "An act providing for borrowing for capital facilities; conferring powers and duties on various administrative agencies and officers; making appropriations; and making repeals," in capital facilities, further providing for administration of redevelopment assistance capital projects.
AI Summary
This bill modifies the Capital Facilities Debt Enabling Act by updating regulations for bidding and wage requirements on redevelopment assistance capital projects. For construction projects under $25,000, the bill maintains the existing requirement of soliciting at least three written bids. For projects exceeding $25,000, the bill adds a requirement that workers must be paid prevailing minimum wage rates as determined by the Secretary of Labor and Industry under the Pennsylvania Prevailing Wage Act. Additionally, the bill clarifies that a redevelopment assistance capital project is considered a public work subject to the Prevailing Wage Act if the work is performed consecutively or within the same project site or structure, regardless of whether the work is done through separate contracts or phases. The construction work must still comply with the Steel Products Procurement Act, which requires the use of steel products manufactured in the United States. The bill will take effect 60 days after its enactment.
