(P.L.323, No.130), known as The County Code, amended July 10,
1990 (P.L.379, No.89), is amended to read:
Section 2317. Separate Bids for Plumbing, Heating,
Ventilating, Electrical Work, Elevators and Moving Stairs.--In
the preparation of specifications for the erection, construction
and alteration of any public building, when the entire cost of
such work shall exceed ten thousand dollars ($10,000) the
architect, engineer or other person preparing such
specifications [shall prepare only] may prepare the following
separate specifications: (1) plumbing, (2) heating, (3)
ventilating, (4) electrical work, (5) elevators and moving
stairs, and (6) one complete set of specifications for all the
other work to be done in such erection, construction and
alteration. The board of commissioners [shall] may receive
separate bids upon each of the said branches of work and award
the contract for the same to the lowest responsible bidder for
each of said branches, including the balance of the work in
addition to the plumbing, heating, ventilating and electrical
work, and elevators and moving stairs. Where it is desired to
install an air conditioning unit, the heating and ventilating so
involved may be regarded as one branch of work having only one
set of specifications, and bids may be received and a contract
awarded thereon, as hereinbefore provided.
Section 2. This act shall take effect in 60 days.
