7-Tariff Basis Establishment Form.pdf

This is a Tariff Basis Establishment Form related to the West Ada School District's fire alarm system upgrade project at Renaissance High School and District Service Center in Idaho, with substantial completion required by August 7, 2026. The form serves as a template for contractors to document and submit tariff-related price adjustment requests associated with imported products incorporated into the project. Contractors must complete the form by identifying specific line items, providing Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) codes with applicable suffixes, including commercial product descriptions as referenced in bid documents, specifying countries of origin, listing units of measure, calculating tariff amounts per unit in dollars, and computing tariffs as a percentage of the total bid price for each affected item.

Contractors submitting tariff-related price adjustment requests must attach comprehensive supporting documentation including importer receipts, customs entry summaries, and pre- and post-tariff cost comparisons to substantiate their claims. The submission requires complete documentation for all requested tariff adjustments; requests lacking full supporting materials will not be considered for approval. This form establishes the framework for transparently accounting for tariff impacts on project costs and allows for potential price adjustments when imported components are subject to applicable tariffs, ensuring that bid pricing reflects actual material cost increases resulting from tariff impositions.
