4-Form C1 - Buy America (Steel, Iron, Manuf Prodx).pdf

This is a Buy America Certificate of Compliance form issued by the Office of Contracting and Procurement and Detroit Department of Transportation in Michigan. The form requires proposers to certify their compliance status regarding the Buy America requirements under 49 USC 5323(j)(1) and 49 CFR Part 661. Proposers must complete one of two mutually exclusive sections: either certify that they will comply with Buy America requirements for steel, iron, and manufactured products, or certify that they cannot comply but may qualify for an exception under 49 USC 5323(j)(2)(B) or (j)(2)(D). The form requires the proposer to provide their company name, title of authorized signatory, and signature along with the date of certification. This certification relates to a Federal Transit Administration (FTA) funded Bus Wrap Repair project for the Detroit Department of Transportation with a contract term of three years.

The form serves as a mandatory compliance document for the bus wrap repair solicitation and must be completed accurately to avoid automatic disqualification. Proposers who fail to complete the form or who complete both sections will be automatically disqualified from consideration. The Buy America requirements apply to this FTA-funded project, necessitating that all steel, iron, and manufactured products used in the bus wrap repair services meet domestic content standards unless an approved exception applies.
