5-Anti Pollution Legislation.pdf

This document is an Anti-Pollution Legislation document from the House Bill No. 1969, enacted on October 26, 1972, and effective November 25, 1972, pertaining to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The legislation requires bidders on construction contracts to comply with state statutes, rules, and regulations related to environmental pollution prevention and public natural resource preservation for projects under bid. Bidders are mandated to thoroughly understand the associated terms, statutes, rules, and regulations, with no separate additional payment allowed for such compliance.

The legislation places comprehensive responsibility on contractors to investigate and adhere to local ordinances, rules, and regulations from various jurisdictions that may impact the project, including chambers of commerce, planning commissions, industries, and utility companies. Contractors must include the costs of compliance with local controls in their bid prices, even if the controlling agency documents are not explicitly listed in the bid materials. The document emphasizes that any change orders or deviation requests must be formally documented and approved, with the contractor required to demonstrate how such changes affect their work.
