APPLICABLE ACTS: The bidder shall comply with the following acts.

1. Steel Products Procurement Act

In accordance with the Act of March 3, 1978 (P.L. 6, No. 3), as amended, known as the “Steel Products Procurement Act” (73 P.S. Section 1881 et seq.), the Contractor, subcontractors, material men, or suppliers shall use only steel products produced in the United States. “Steel products” mean products rolled, formed, shaped, drawn, extruded, forged, cast, fabricated, or otherwise similarly processed by a combination of two or more of such operations, from steel made in the United States by the open hearth, basic oxygen, electric furnace, Bessemer, or other steel making process, including cast iron products. With each shipment of steel or cast-iron products delivered to the project site, the Contractor shall provide evidence to the Game Commission’s field representative that such steel products comply with the Act. When Unidentified Steel Products are supplied, the Contractor must provide documentation which includes, but is not limited to invoices, bills of lading, and mill certification that the steel was melted and manufactured in the United States, which establishes that the Contractor has fully complied with the Act. If a steel product is identifiable from its face, the Contractor must provide certification that it has fully complied with the Act.

The definition of steel products shall include machinery and equipment listed in United States Department of Commerce Standard Industrial Classification 25 (furniture and fixture), 35 (machinery, except electrical) and 37 (transportation equipment) and made of, fabricated from, or containing steel components. If a product contains both foreign and United States steel, such product shall be determined to be a United States steel product only if at least 75% of the cost of the articles, materials and supplies have been mined, produced, or manufactured, as the case may be, in the United States. Transportation equipment shall be determined to be a United States steel product if it complies with Section 165 of Public Law 97-424 (96 Stat. 2136).

The PGC shall not provide for, or make any payments to, any person who has not complied with the Act. Any such payments made to any person by the PGC which should not have been made because of the Act shall be recoverable directly from the Contractor or subcontractor who did not comply with the Act. In addition to the above penalties, any person who willfully violates the provisions of the Act shall be subject to other penalties outlined in the Act.

2. Trade Practices Act

In accordance with the Act of July 23, 1968 (P.L. 686, No. 226), as amended, known as the “Trade Practices Act” (71 P.S. Section 773.101 et seq.) the Contractor shall not use or permit to be used in the work any aluminum or steel products made in a foreign country which is listed below as a foreign country which discriminates against aluminum or steel products manufactured in Pennsylvania. The countries of Brazil, Spain, South Korea, and Argentina have been found to discriminate against certain products manufactured in Pennsylvania. Therefore, the use of those countries’ products, as listed below, is not permitted:

Penalties for violation of this paragraph may be found in the Trade Practices Act, which penalties include becoming ineligible for public works contracts for a period of three (3) years. This paragraph in no way relieves the Contractor of responsibility to comply with the provisions of the Steel Products Procurement Act described herein.
