374-0006 P2 - Additional Informational Flyer.docx

This document is an informational flyer from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania related to Executive Order 2021-06 on Worker Protection and Investment, issued on October 21, 2021. The order mandates that bidders for state contracts certify compliance with Pennsylvania state labor and workforce safety laws by submitting a Worker Protection and Investment Certification Form either with their bid or prior to contract award. Additionally, the order strictly prohibits entities from posting any Department Invitation to Bid documents on public social media platforms or web-based platforms.

The key requirements focus on ensuring worker safety and legal compliance, with specific emphasis on documentation and transparency. Bidders must demonstrate adherence to labor laws through formal certification, and there are clear restrictions on public sharing of bidding documents to maintain the integrity of the procurement process. The executive order underscores the Commonwealth's commitment to protecting workers' rights and maintaining appropriate protocols in government contracting.
