13-Anti Pollution Legislation.pdf

This document is an Anti-Pollution Legislation document from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, specifically House Bill number 1969, which was enacted into law on October 26, 1972 and became effective on November 25, 1972. The legislation requires bidders on construction contracts to comply with state statutes, rules, and regulations related to environmental pollution prevention and preservation of public natural resources for projects under bid.

The document outlines key contractor responsibilities, including thoroughly understanding all applicable statutes, rules, and regulations, with no separate additional payments for such compliance. The contractor must independently determine and account for any local ordinances, rules, or regulations from various jurisdictions that might affect the work, including requirements from chambers of commerce, planning commissions, industries, and utility companies. Any compliance costs with local controls must be included in the bid pricing, even if such documents are not explicitly listed in the bid materials.
