106.11 BUILD AMERICA, BUY AMERICA ACT PROVISIONS—

(a) Build America, Buy America Act. The Federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (Public Law 117-58) includes the Build America, Buy America Act that requires all iron, steel, manufactured products, and construction materials used to be produced in the United States.

The term produced in the United States defined as:

1. Iron or Steel Products. All manufacturing processes from the initial melting stage through the application of coatings occurred in the United States according to Section 106.10(a).

2. Manufactured Product. Final assembly of all manufactured products permanently incorporated into the project must be manufactured in the United States.

2.a A manufactured product, not predominantly steel or iron, is defined as an article, material, or supply that has been processed into a specific form and shape, or combined with other articles, materials, or supplies to create a product with different properties than the individual articles, materials, or supplies.

2.b Predominantly steel or iron is defined as greater than or equal to 50 percent of the total cost of the manufactured product.

2.c Manufactured products that are predominantly steel or iron must comply with Buy America provisions according to Section 106.10(a).

2.d If an article, material, or supply meets this definition but could also be classified as an excluded material or other product category, that article, material, or supply is not a manufactured product.

2.e Mixtures of excluded materials delivered to a work site without final form for incorporation into a project are also not manufactured products.

2.f Manufactured products where the final assembly did not occur in the United States may be used, provided the cumulative cost of such manufactured products is no more than the lesser of $1 million or 5% of total applicable costs for the project.

3. Construction Materials.

3.a All manufacturing processes for construction materials occurred in the United States.

3.b Construction materials includes an article, material, or supply that is or consists primarily of:

non-ferrous metals, plastic and polymer-based products including polyvinylchloride, composite building materials, and polymers used in fiber optic cables, glass including optic glass, lumber, or drywall

Items that consist of two or more of the listed materials that have been combined together through a manufacturing process, and items that include at least one of the listed materials combined with a material that is not listed through a manufacturing process, should be treated as manufactured products, rather than as construction materials.

3.c Limitation with Respect to Aggregates. Shall not include cement and cementitious materials, aggregates such as stone, sand, or gravel, or aggregate binding agents or additives.

3.d Construction materials where all manufacturing processes did not occur in the United States may be used, provided the cumulative cost of such construction materials is no more than the lesser of $1 million of 5% of total applicable costs for the project.

CHANGE TO SPECIFICATIONS: SECTIONS 107, AND 608

Provision Body:

SECTION 107—LEGAL RELATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITY TO THE PUBLIC

Section 107.28 EROSION AND SEDIMENT POLLUTION CONTROL PLANS AND PERMITS. Revise to read as follows:

107.28 EROSION AND SEDIMENT POLLUTION CONTROL PLANS AND PERMITS—Install and maintain erosion and sediment (E&S) pollution control devices as indicated or submit an alternate plan for accomplishing equal or better temporary and permanent erosion and water pollution control. If an alternate plan is submitted, do not start work until the plan is approved by the County Conservation District and the Department. If a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit is involved, do not start work until the plan is approved by the DEP or the authorized County Conservation District and the Department. Concrete clean out areas, either contractor designed or indicated within the contract documents, are incidental to the contract items.

When a general or individual NPDES Permit is involved:

At the preconstruction conference, submit a Preparedness, Prevention and Contingency (PPC) Plan and identify a licensed professional (Professional Engineer, Geologist, Land Surveyor or Landscape Architect) registered in the Commonwealth and if applicable, their designee to be present onsite and responsible for implementing critical stages of the

Do not start earth disturbance activities until an environmental preconstruction meeting is held with DEP or delegated

CCD.

Within 14 days of completing the construction of a stormwater control measure (SCM) as determined by the licensed professional or designee, submit a completed Chapter 102 SCM Construction Certification Form for each SCM to the Representative through PPCC. Form CS-102 has information required to complete the Chapter 102 Form(s). Ensure the General Project and SCM Information, Construction Information, and Licensed Professional Certification sections are completed by the identified licensed professional responsible for overseeing the critical stages of the approved PCSM plan.

Prepare an as-built (record) PCSM Plan to be sealed and signed by the identified licensed professional registered in the Commonwealth. All construction survey, plan preparation, and engineering required for the as-built (record) PCSM Plan will be incidental to the contract items. The as-built (record) PCSM Plan must accurately reflect deviations from the approved PCSM Plan including, but not limited to, plan locations, dimensions, inverts/elevations, materials used and grading. Update the as-built (record) PCSM Plan as construction of the project’s PCSM features progresses. Have the identified licensed professional immediately notify the Representative of all deviations from the approved PCSM Plan. Deviations to the approved PCSM Plan must be submitted for approval. Assist with the determination and documentation if the as-built deviations require a permit amendment or if the PCSM features must be removed and replaced as indicated on the PCSM Plan.

Assist the Representative in performing visual site inspections weekly and after each precipitation event greater than 0.25 inches to ensure the project's E&S Best Management Practices (BMPs) are functioning properly. Immediately initiate corrective actions, at no additional cost to the Department, upon notification by the Representative of noncompliance with the provisions of this section that the Representative has determined requires immediate corrective action under Department policies. For all other notifications of noncompliance, initiate corrective actions within 24 hours. Failure or refusal to promptly comply with such notice upon receipt may, at the Department’s sole discretion, result in: the withholding payment of estimates for work completed until the requirements of the E&S Plan are met, assessment of E&S noncompliance liquidated damages as specified in Section 108.07(d) or issuance of a written order approved Post Construction Stormwater Management (PCSM) Plan.

July 22, 2026 15:25:08 PM Page 11 of 69 stopping all or part of the work until the corrective action has been taken and the requirements of the E&S Plan are met. No claims for extension of time, costs, or damages arising from, related to, or based upon such notices of noncompliance or stop orders will be granted, paid, or considered.

Nothing in this Section is to be interpreted to relieve the Contractor of its obligation to fully and timely comply with all applicable laws and any permits for the project. The time periods set forth in this Section do not supersede any more stringent time periods required by applicable laws or permits for the project.

If corrective action or noncompliance with the provisions of this Section result from design errors/omissions or a precipitation event exceeding the design storm criteria as specified in applicable Department publications; the cost and/or time required for the performance of the corrective actions for noncompliance notices or stop work orders will be considered as specified in Section 110.03 and Section 108.06, as applicable.

Utilize Department, DEP, or other authorized agency’s form(s) included in the contract or project permits unless directed otherwise by the Representative, DEP, the County Conservation District or other authorized regulatory agency.

For the purpose of determining compliance with the provisions of this section, “substantial completion” will be considered to have been attained when all of the following project milestones have been reached:

Either a semi-final or final inspection has been performed, physical work is complete, and an Environmental Commitments and Mitigation Tracking System (ECMTS) Sheet has been executed if applicable to the project.

Earth disturbance activity has been permanently stabilized and sufficient vegetative growth has been achieved to meet permit conditions (uniform 70% perennial vegetative cover) and agreed to by DEP or delegated CCD.

Installation of PCSM SCMs have occurred if applicable. Upon completion of PCSM conversions and facilities, the County Conservation District must approve the removal of all remaining E&S BMPs.

Once a project with a general or individual NPDES Permit has reached substantial completion, submit to the Representative a DEP Notice of Termination (NOT) Form ensuring Sections 2, 3, 4, 7 and 8, are fully executed. The NOT is to be accompanied by the required as-built (record) PCSM Plan, the final certification by the licensed professional and the Contractor’s executed portion of the ECMTS Construction Tracking Signature Sheet.

608 MOBILIZATION

Section 608.4(b)3. Revise to read as follows:

Provision Body:

SECTION 110—PAYMENT

Section 110.06 MATERIAL STORED OR ON HAND. Revise to read as follows:

110.06 MATERIAL STORED OR ON HAND—

(a) Stored Material. The Representative may authorize payment for certain material, using Form CS-110, before its incorporation into the work. Upon the Contractor's request submitted through the PennDOT Project Collaboration Center’s (PPCC) Material-Stored Material (CS-110) workflow and the Representative's acceptance in PPCC, the Contractor may be paid 100% of the cost of the material, less the pro‑rata share of the retainage, if any; provided the quantity of stored material does not exceed the total estimated quantity required to complete the project and the cost is at least $1,000 but does not exceed 90% of the contract price of the applicable contract item or component item. Load-Transfer Units are only eligible for 90% of the cost of the material. The cost of the material is that amount to be paid by the Contractor as evidenced by invoices. Fabricated structural steel that is to receive a protective coating may be approved for prepayment at 75% of the contract price of the applicable contract item or component item, before application of the coating, provided the structure has been fully fabricated and preassembly of field connections has been made.

Payment for stored material will not be authorized until the material has been delivered to the project site or an approved location in the vicinity of the project, is inspected by the Representative to ensure the material is in a satisfactory condition and of sufficient quantity, is stored in an approved manner, and conforms to the requirements specified in this Section and Section 106.03. Identify stored material by project designation and set apart from other materials. Fabricated precast/prestressed bridge structure elements indicated on an S-number structure plan are eligible for prepayment when they are approved to ship. Other materials to be stored less than 30 days are not eligible for prepayment. In determining eligibility for prepayment, the beginning date for evaluating whether the required 30-day minimum storage period will be met will be the date the material is delivered to the project or approved storage location, or the date the invoice is submitted to the Department, whichever is the latter. Material originally determined to be ineligible for prepayment due to the minimum storage period requirement, that is then stored for more than 30 days, is eligible for prepayment on the next estimate, provided the invoice has been submitted to the Department. If the Representative determines, because of required fabrication at an off‑site location, that it is not feasible or practicable to store material in the vicinity of the project, the material may be stored at an approved location, which is not in the vicinity of the project, at the Contractor’s expense.

With the exception of structural steel to be incorporated into fabricated structural steel components for main bridge members, as specified in Section 110.06(a)1., only end product manufactured material or fully fabricated products that are awaiting installation and/ or incorporation into the finished work are eligible for prepayment. Ingredients of a finished product are not eligible for prepayment.

Aggregates, cements, and other bulk material are not eligible for prepayment. Beams containing precast components or secondary precast elements detailed on the structure component item schedule or both are eligible for prepayment. Living or perishable plant materials are not eligible for prepayment before planting.

Assume full control and responsibility for the protection of the stored material from the elements and against loss or damage by any cause. In the event any stored material becomes lost, stolen, impaired, or damaged while stored, the monetary value of the lost, stolen, impaired, or damaged material as may have been paid for in a current estimate will be deducted from a subsequent estimate.

Retain the title to the prepaid material until issuance of the acceptance certificate.

Payment for acceptable stored material will be made on current estimates against the applicable contract item. The amount paid will be proportionately recouped as the material is incorporated into the work. The cost of surplus stored material previously paid on a current estimate but not ultimately incorporated in the final measured work will not be included in the final payment. Surplus stored material is the property of the Contractor. Remove surplus material from the project and dispose of in a satisfactory manner.

Pay the material provider the amount due, as shown on the invoices within 7 calendar days of receipt of payment from the Department. Provide evidence of payment upon request. Failure to make invoice payments as specified will cause the appropriate monies to be deducted from future estimates and will cause the disapproval of further prepayment requests.

1. Prepayment for Structural Steel. Structural steel to be incorporated into fabricated structural steel components for main bridge members may be approved for payment up to 60% of the contract price of the applicable contract item or component item; provided the quantity, cost, delivery, inspection, and storage requirements of Section 110.06(a) are met. The cost of the structural steel is that amount to be paid by the Fabricator as evidenced by invoices. Invoices for approved structural steel are to include the material quantity and Department project identification (i.e., ECMS number, SR & Section, and county), and must be accompanied by

July 22, 2026 15:25:08 PM Page 15 of 69 certification, as specified in Section 106.03(b)3., and proof of payment (e.g., a copy of a canceled check or receipt, or a certified letter from the structural steel supplier acknowledging receipt of payment).

Payment for approved structural steel will be made on current estimates against the applicable contract item. The amount paid will be proportionately recouped as the fabricated structural steel components are incorporated into the work. Pay the Fabricator the amount due, as shown on the invoices, within 7 calendar days of receipt of payment from the Department. When payment is made, the structural steel becomes the property of the Department. Have the Fabricator furnish a transfer of ownership document within 7 calendar days of receipt of payment and promptly submit the documentation to the Department.

Only approved structural steel to be incorporated into fabricated structural steel components for main bridge members is eligible for prepayment. Handling, transportation, and storage of structural steel materials including, but not limited to, any storage site rental, security, and weather protection, are to be borne by the Contractor and included in the contract price for the applicable contract item.

SECTION 404—EVALUATION OF ASPHALT PAVEMENT RIDE QUALITY AND PAYMENT OF INCENTIVE

Section 404.1 DESCRIPTION. Revise to read as follows:

404.1 DESCRIPTION. This work evaluates an asphalt pavement surface profile and determines the ride-quality incentive associated with the pavement surface profile.

(a) General Requirements. Determine the ride quality of finished pavement surfaces, including overlaid bridge approach slabs and overlaid bridge decks. At least two of the following construction operations must be indicated in areas included in ride-quality lot measurements:

Profile milling as specified in Section 492.

Asphalt Base course.

Asphalt Scratch course.

Asphalt Leveling course.

Asphalt Binder course.

Asphalt Wearing course.

In the presence of the Representative, measure the pavement surface profile according to PTM No. 428. Provide daily calibration results to the Representative before taking any measurements. Provide the raw unfiltered data files and a summary printout of the resultant International Roughness Index (IRI) data and Mean Roughness Index (MRI) values to the Representative within 24 hours of taking measurements. The Representative will determine payment for each ride-quality lot based on the MRI.

Measure the pavement surface of the following excluded areas separate from the pavement surface profile of ride-quality lots. The Representative will not include measurements from excluded areas to determine lot incentive payment.

Pavement surfaces not constructed as a full-depth overlay, as indicated, such as the vertical transition areas at the limits of paving and at the approaches to bridges.

Bridge decks unless overlaid.

Ramps less than 1,500 feet in length and less than 12 feet wide.

Tapered pavements.

Shoulders, medians, and other pavement surfaces indicated.

Pavement from 5 feet before and up to 5 feet after any appurtenances such as water boxes, manholes, railroad tracks, and inlets extending out into the pavement.

Partial lots less than 100 feet

Roadways with a posted speed limit of 40 miles per hour or lower.

(b) Lot Size. A full lot is 528 feet of a single pavement lane. The Representative will designate lots starting at the beginning limit of paving and continuing to the ending limit of paving for each pavement lane and ramp that is 12 feet or wider. Do not include the length of excluded areas in the 528-foot lot.

July 22, 2026 15:25:08 PM Page 16 of 69

The Representative will designate a partial lot at the ending limit of paving and at an excluded area, when the lot length is less than 528 feet. The Representative will evaluate a partial lot as a percentage of a full lot.

Section 404.3(a) Equipment and Operator. Revise to read as follows:

(a) Equipment and Operator. Provide pavement surface profile measuring equipment that has been verified by the Department according to PTM No. 428. In the presence of the Representative, calibrate the distance sensor and check the profile system calibration before each day’s testing.

Provide an operator that is Department certified according to PTM No. 428. The operator must carry their valid PennDOT certification card during pavement surface profiling.

Section 404.3(b) Testing. Revise to read as follows:

(b) Testing.

1. Lots. Provide the traffic control and station marking necessary to accommodate testing. Remove objects and equipment from the surface and sweep the surface as necessary to remove debris. For projects identified for verification as specified in Section 404.3(f), identify and delineate the profiling limits and excluded areas on the day of the verification. The Representative will verify the profiling limits are correct. Use traffic cones with reflective tape and reflective tape on the pavement at the beginning and end of each lane and excluded areas for triggering the start and stop locations of the profiler. In the presence of the Representative, determine the pavement surface profile for each lot according to PTM No. 428. At the completion of testing, immediately submit the lot IRI data and MRI values, according to PTM No. 428, to the Representative.

2. Excluded Areas. Provide the traffic control necessary to accommodate testing. Test the entire surface of each excluded area in stages using a 12-foot straightedge. At each stage, hold the straightedge in contact with the surface and parallel to the roadway centerline and, in successive positions, test the pavement surface profile from one side of the excluded area to the other. Advance the test location to the next stage by moving the straightedge along the roadway centerline not more than 6 feet.

Section 404.3(c)1. Lots. Revise to read as follows:

1. Lots. The Representative will compare the lot MRI to Table A in Section 404.4 to determine if the lot requires corrective action.

Additionally, perform corrective action on any individual bump (must grind) where the irregularity is more than 3/16 inch when tested with a 12-foot straightedge.

Section 404.3(d) Corrective Action. Revise to read as follows:

(d) Corrective Action. Do not produce a deviation, such as a ridge or valley with the adjacent pavement, of more than 1/8 inch when measured on the transverse profile. Correct a sufficient length of pavement to correct the pavement surface profile without producing additional high or low points. Retest the lots and excluded areas after completing corrective action. Perform additional measurements of the pavement surface profile, as necessary, for the Representative to determine which lots do not require additional corrective action. Correct surfaces to provide a uniform texture and positive cross slope so the pavement drains.

Perform all corrective action before testing for pavement depth. Use one or more of the following methods:

1. Carbide Grinding. Use carbide grinding for correcting areas 15 feet in length or less. Use grinders of the walk-behind type that have cutting heads of carbide tipped shackles, stars, or blades and have a locking depth control to produce a uniform pavement surface texture.

Provide a pavement surface texture consisting of parallel grooves between 3/32 inch and 1/4 inch wide with a “land area” between grooves of 1/16 inch and 3/16 inch. Operate the grinder by making multiple passes, if necessary, with a maximum depth of any single pass of 1/8 inch. Grind longitudinally or transversely across the pavement surface.

2. Diamond Grinding. Section 514.3 and modified as follows:

(d) Tolerance. Delete this section.

Unless otherwise approved, grind the entire lane width.

3. Removal and Replacement. Remove the surface course of the entire pavement lane width by milling and replace at least the minimum layer depth of the specified surface course. Place more than the minimum layer depth if necessary to correct the pavement surface profile.

Section 404.3(f) Verification. Revise to read as follows:

(f) Verification. For Federally funded projects, the Department will perform smoothness verification testing at a minimum of one day and on at least 10% of the project’s lane miles being evaluated using the Department’s inertial lightweight profiler concurrent with smoothness acceptance testing. The Department may require smoothness verification testing for any smoothness acceptance testing.

Coordinate with the Representative at least 14 days in advance of smoothness verification testing to arrange for Department profiler testing and to schedule a virtual meeting with the Department’s Roadway Inventory and Testing Unit (RITU) to verify the smoothness verification testing procedures.

Ensure the Department’s smoothness verification testing occurs concurrently with smoothness acceptance testing. The smoothness acceptance test results will be compared to the Department’s smoothness verification test results. The smoothness acceptance test results will be used for incentive payment when the following tolerances are met:

The verification MRI does not exceed the acceptance MRI by more than 6.1 inches/mile on at least 90 percent of the 528 foot lots for each lane.

The average verification MRI does not exceed the average acceptance MRI by more than 6.1 inches/mile for all lots tested in each lane.

The difference in the length for all lots tested in each lane is less than 0.2 percent.

If the tolerances above are not met during smoothness verification testing, the Department will immediately review the testing procedures, equipment, and personnel used in the smoothness acceptance testing to determine if the test results are acceptable.

When the Contractor’s smoothness acceptance test results are not considered acceptable, the Department’s smoothness verification test results will be used for incentive payment, and the Contractor’s profiler certification will be suspended and must be recertified according to PTM No. 428. Contact the RITU within 10 business days to schedule the profiler for recertification. Recertify the profiler before use on all Department projects.

Section 404.4 MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT. Revise to read as follows:

404.4 MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT. Dollar

The proposal will include an item and a predetermined amount of money for Evaluation of Asphalt Pavement Ride Quality and Payment of Incentive. The contract item will have a unit of measure of DOLLAR, a unit price of $1.00, and a quantity equal to the predetermined amount.

Due to the incentive or bonus status of the payment being made, the provisions specified in Section 110.02(d) are not applicable to this item.

Measured and paid for, under the Evaluation of Asphalt Pavement Ride Quality and Payment of Incentive item as follows:

If the lot is not defective, Table A and the MRI for each lot will be used to determine the incentive payment for ride quality.

The incentive payment for a lot subjected to corrective action will be determined according to Table A and the MRI for the lot after the Contractor completes corrective action.

The incentive payment for a partial lot will be determined as a percentage of a full lot.

After corrective action, the Contractor may leave a defective lot in place if the District Executive provides written approval, and the Contractor accepts a $4,000 downward adjustment (rebate) of the amount paid for the lot.

Costs associated with evaluating pavement ride quality will not be paid for separately.
