Buy_America_CMO_Utility.xls

This is a Certificate of Materials Origin form required by the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) for the RFP MID ODOT Utility Relocation project, established under CFR 635.410 to certify compliance with Buy America provisions. The form requires contractors, subcontractors, or suppliers to document the domestic sourcing of iron and steel materials used on the project. Bidders must identify the project name, contract number, and bid item number, then provide detailed information about both domestic materials sources and any foreign materials or materials of unknown origin. The certificate serves as official documentation that all iron or steel manufacturing processes, including protective coatings, occurred within the United States of America, with manufacturers' certificates to be retained for three years following final payment and made available to the Engineer upon request.

The authorized representative of the submitting company must sign the certificate under penalty of perjury under Oregon and Federal laws, certifying the accuracy of the materials documentation. A new certificate must be submitted for any subsequent shipments if the documented information changes. This certification requirement ensures compliance with domestic content preferences for federally-funded infrastructure projects and establishes a clear audit trail for materials verification throughout the contract performance period.
