“Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL)” means the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, Public Law No. 117-58.

“Contract” means a mutually binding legal relationship obligating the seller to furnish the supplies or services (including construction) and the buyer to pay for them. It includes all types of commitments that obligate the Government to an expenditure of appropriated funds and that, except as otherwise authorized, are in writing. In addition to bilateral instruments, contracts include (but are not limited to) awards and notices of awards; job orders or task letters issued under basic ordering agreements; letter contracts; orders, such as purchase orders, under which the contract becomes effective by written acceptance or performance; and bilateral contract modifications. Contracts do not include grants and cooperative agreements covered by 31 U.S.C. 6301, et seq.

“First-tier Subcontract” means a subcontract awarded directly by the Contractor for the purpose of acquiring supplies or services (including construction) for performance of a contract funded by the BIL.

“Total Compensation” means the complete pay package of Contractor employees, including all forms of money, benefits, services, and in-kind payments, consistent with the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission at 17 CFR 229.402.

(8) If applicable, a list identifying all non-domestic purchases associated with this contract/order/modification by associated JCN, a description of each non-domestic product/technology to include manufacturer and model number, and the dollar value of the non-domestic product/technology.

(9) If applicable, by JCN, a list identifying all installed Energy Savings initiatives by associated JCN and a description of the product/technology that is to be removed/replaced to include manufacturer, model number, size, age, etc.

(10) If applicable, for each JCN, a list identifying the total dollars to date awarded on all first-tier subcontracts by socio-economic category.

(11) By JCN a list identifying the number of jobs created expressed as "full-time equivalent" which must include full-time, part-time, temporary, and permanent positions as expressed as a "person-year," for the Contractor and all first tier subcontractors. Any jobs created with funding other than BIL funding are not to be included in the numbers.
