2. Submit an updated inventory list at least 5 business days before using a vehicle not on the list or replacing a vehicle on the list for authorization. Allow 5 business days for review.
Flexibility engines certified under the California Air Resources Board’s flexibility program provisions are noncompliant engines unless a previously issued executive order for that engine family indicates the emission standard category is tier 4 interim. You may access these executive orders at the California Air Resources Board website: https://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/offroad/cert/cert.php For example:
Executive Order U-R-002-0747 was issued on March 16, 2020, for Flexibility Program Engine Family Name “DCEXL15.0AAK,” a Cummins Inc. 2020 model engine. Executive Order U-R-002-0592-2 issued On December 30, 2013, for Engine Family DCEXL15.0AAK indicates the “Emission Standard Category” is tier 4 interim. Use of Engine Family “DCEXL 15.0AAK is compliant.

2. Combined with other articles, materials, or supplies to create a product with different properties than the individual articles, materials, or supplies
Per 23 CFR 635.410, these products must be manufactured in the United States.
Manufacturer, in the case of manufactured products, means the entity that performs the final manufacturing process by bringing individual elements together that produces a manufactured product.
If an item is classified as an iron or steel product, a construction material, or an excluded material under the definitions set forth under this Buy America section, then it is not a manufactured product. However, an article, material, or supply classified as a manufactured product under this Buy America section may include components that are construction materials, iron or steel products, or excluded materials.
Iron or steel used in precast concrete manufactured products or enclosures for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) must meet the requirements of section 6-1.04C regardless of the amount used.

Minor additions of articles, materials, supplies, or binding agents to these construction materials do not change the categorization of the construction material.
6-1.04F Buy America Waiver for the De Minimis Costs for Manufactured Products and Construction Materials
A De Minimis Costs waiver can waive the application of FHWA's Buy America requirements for manufactured products and construction materials under a single project when the total cost of non-compliant manufactured products and construction materials is no more than the lesser of $1,000,000 or 5 percent of the total applicable costs for the project.
The percentage threshold is calculated based on the following formula:
X = NC / TA
where:
X = percent threshold NC = total cost of non-compliant construction materials and manufactured products TA = total applicable project costs (steel, iron, construction materials and manufactured products;
does not include excluded materials)
This threshold is based on the actual cost of the steel, iron, construction materials, and manufactured products, not the anticipated cost of those materials. The contractor must account for compliant and non-compliant Department-Furnished Materials for the project in the De Minimis Costs Waiver Worksheet calculation if provided by the Department as supplemental project information.
See further instructions for the De Minimis Costs waiver request in the Notice of Materials to be Used form.

The requirements in section 6-1.08 do not apply to informal-bid contracts.
For product category rules for hot mix asphalt or concrete, go to the METS website. Use the product category rule in effect on the date of bid opening unless otherwise authorized. An environmental product declaration for hot mix asphalt or concrete is not required for either of the following conditions:
1. Applicable product category rule has expired without replacement as of the bid opening date.
2. Applicable product category rule was issued less than 50 days before the bid opening date.
Immediately notify the Engineer if a program operator has determined their product category rule does not allow for development of a facility-specific environmental product declaration. Include written correspondence from the program operator with your notification to the Engineer. If the Engineer determines the development of a facility-specific environmental product declaration cannot be achieved, an environmental product declaration will not be required for that material or product.
You must register on the Department’s Data Interchange for Materials Engineering (DIME) at least 15 days before submitting environmental product declarations. Follow the registration process at:
https://dime.dot.ca.gov/
Within 30 days of initial placement of each applicable material or product, submit a facility-specific, product stage, environmental product declaration informational submittal to DIME and provide proof of submission in PDF file format to the Engineer. The DIME entry information must include intended use of materials and estimated quantities of materials to be used as represented by the environmental product declaration.
Failure to provide a required environmental product declaration informational submittal will result in a $6,000 performance failure withhold for each missing declaration. The Department returns the withhold within 30 days after receipt of the compliant declaration if submitted prior to Contract acceptance.
Withholds become permanent deductions if the declaration is not submitted before Contract acceptance.

Section 7-1.02K(6)(j)(iii) includes specifications for handling, removing, and disposing of unregulated earth material containing lead. Management of this material exposes workers to health hazards that must be addressed in your lead compliance plan. This material contains average lead concentrations below 80 mg/kg total lead and below 5 mg/L soluble lead and is not regulated by DTSC as a hazardous substance or a hazardous waste. This material does not require disposal at a permitted landfill or solid waste disposal facility. The RWQCB has jurisdiction over reuse of this material at locations outside the job site limits.

Unregulated earth material containing lead has been detected to a depth of 6.5 feet within the job site.
Unregulated levels of lead found range from less than 1.2 to 310 mg/kg total lead with an average concentration of 27.4 mg/kg total lead as analyzed by EPA test method 6010 or EPA test method 7000 series and based upon a 95 percent upper confidence limit. Unregulated levels of lead on the job site have a predicted average soluble concentration of 35 mg/L as analyzed by the California Waste Extraction Test and based upon a 95 percent upper confidence limit.
Handle the material under all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, including those of the following agencies:
1. Cal/OSHA
2. CA RWQCB, Region 2, San Francisco Bay
If unregulated material is disposed of:
