The State Government Committee in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives is considering a bill that would effectively repeal the Separations Act.
HB 163 undoes the separate primes bidding requirement under the guise of cost savings.
This legislation will cost taxpayers millions of dollars in unnecessary construction costs. Another effect of the bill is that smaller, often local, contractors will not have the bonding capacity to bid on the larger single prime contracts. That results in loss of jobs for workers from the community where the project is built.
Help us stop this bill from advancing. Use the link below to encourage your Representatives to oppose HB 163
