EXHIBIT 19 - BUY AMERICA CERTIFICATE (STEEL, IRON, OR MANUFACTURED PRODUCTS).pdf

This is a Buy America Certificate form for state and local transit projects subject to federal compliance requirements. The document provides two certification options for bidders: one certifying compliance with Title 49 USC 5323(j)(1), the Build America, Buy America Act (Sections 70901-52 of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, Public Law 117-58), and applicable regulations in 49 CFR Part 661, and a second option for bidders certifying non-compliance but potentially qualifying for an exception under Title 49 USC 5323(j)(2)(B) or (j)(2)(D). Both certifications require signature by an authorized official with typed or printed name and title, along with execution date and location (city and state).

The certificate form mandates adherence to domestic content requirements for steel, iron, and manufactured products in federal transit-funded projects. Bidders must select the appropriate certification pathway based on their ability to meet Buy America standards or identify applicable exemptions. The form serves as the official attestation document required during the bidding process to ensure compliance with federal infrastructure investment legislation and its implementing regulations.
