Article 9 - (135 - 147) CONTRACTS
146 - Certain construction contracts involving steel.

§    146.    Certain    construction    contracts   involving   steel.
  Notwithstanding any other provisions of  law,  all  contracts  over  one
  hundred  thousand dollars in value made and awarded by any department or
  agency of the state for the  construction,  reconstruction,  alteration,
  repair,  maintenance  or  improvement  of any public works shall require
  that structural steel, reinforcing steel and/or other major steel  items
  to be incorporated in the work of the contract shall be produced or made
  in  whole  or  substantial part in the United States, its territories or
  possessions. The provisions of this section shall not apply if the  head
  of  the  department or agency constructing the public works, in his sole
  discretion, determines that such provisions would not be in  the  public
  interest,  would  result in unreasonable costs or that such steel cannot
  be produced or made in the United States in  sufficient  and  reasonably
  available quantities and of satisfactory quality.
