Each year the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry announces new public project cost thresholds required for public bids. The threshold for 2018 have increased after staying stagnant from 2015-16 to keep pace with inflation.

In 2018, the rates increased 2.2% from 2017 rates. Most government entity projects, including municipal authorities, boroughs, towns, and public schools, will require a written bid when the project totals more than $20,100 in 2018.
