Section 457.16. Sublettings

(a) Credit. The contractor shall be given credit for sublettings on Department and Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission projects to which he makes reference in his proposal form, providing the proposed subcontractors are currently prequalified with the Department. Additional sublettings by the prime contractor shall be permitted if prequalified subcontractors are proposed following the opening of bids; but the prime contractor may not be given credit in his total volume of work for additional sublettings.

(b) Subletting to suspended, debarred or disqualified contractors or subcontractors prohibited. Contractors or subcontractors engaged in State highway work under a contract with the Department, or otherwise participating in State supervised or funded highway construction work, may not sublet any part of the construction work to be performed under the terms of that contract to any contractor or subcontractor who is suspended, debarred or otherwise disqualified from bidding on or participating in State highway construction work under § 457.13 (relating to suspension or debarment).
