The use of foreign steel and iron materials may only be under the following conditions:

1) When the materials are not permanently incorporated into the project; or

2) When the delivered cost of such materials used does not exceed 0.1 percent of the total Contract amount or $2,500.00, whichever is greater.

The Contractor shall submit to the Engineer the origin and value of any foreign material used.

2.0 BUILD AMERICA, BUY AMERICA (BABA)

The Contractor shall comply with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Buy America Requirement in Title 23 Code of Federal Regulations § 635.410 and all relevant provisions of the Build America, Buy America (BABA) Act, contained within the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), Pub. L. No. 117-58, §§ 70901-52 enacted November 25, 2021. The BABA requires iron, steel, manufactured products and construction materials used in infrastructure projects funded by federal financial assistance to be produced in the United States. The Contractor shall comply with Title 2 C.F.R. § 184.

A) Iron and Steel Requirements. BABA permits FHWA participation in the Contract only if domestic steel and iron will be used on the Project. To be considered domestic, all steel and iron used, and all products manufactured from steel and iron must be produced in the United States and all manufacturing processes, including application of coating, for these materials must occur in the United States. Coating includes all processes that protect or enhance the value of the material to which the coating was applied. This requirement does not preclude a minimal use of foreign steel and iron materials, provided the cost of such materials does not exceed 0.1% of the total contract amount under the Contract or $2,500.00 whichever is greater.

B) Construction Material Requirements. BABA permits FHWA participation in the Contract only if all “construction materials”, as defined in the IIJA and OMB Memorandum M-24-02, are produced in the United States.

The Buy America preference applies to the following materials incorporated into infrastructure projects:

• non-ferrous metals

• plastic and polymer-based products (including polyvinylchloride, composite building materials, and polymers used in fiber optic cables)

• glass (including optic glass)

• fiber optic cable

• optical fiber

• lumber

• engineered wood

• drywall

C) Manufactured Products Requirements. All manufactured products incorporated into the project must comply with the following:

Document Phase Document Description Page 15

1) All manufactured products used in Federal-aid projects must have final assembly occur in the United States to be considered Buy America compliant.

2) Effective with the October 2026 letting, in addition to the requirement specified in paragraph 1), the cost of the components of the manufactured product that are mined, produced or manufactured in the United States must be greater than 55% of the total cost of all components of the manufactured product. Each manufactured item must be classified into one of the following categories: iron or steel product, manufactured product, construction material or another product category as specified by law or in 2 CFR Part 184. Items shall not be classified into multiple categories.

3.0 ADDITIONAL BABA ACT REQUIREMENTS.

A) De Minimis Waiver. The De Minimis Costs portion waives the application of the requirements of the BABA Act for construction materials and manufactured products under a single financial assistance award when the total value of the non-compliant products is no more than the lesser of $1,000,000 or 5% of the total applicable costs for the project. Applicable costs are defined as the costs of all steel, iron, manufactured products and construction materials. Cement and cementitious materials; aggregates such as stone, sand, or gravel; and binding agents and additives, standing alone, should not be included in the determination of total applicable project costs. The De Minimis waiver cannot be applied to a single item exceeding $1,000,000 in value.

If the Contractor seeks to utilize the waiver, the entire administrative burden lies solely with the Contractor, including all documentation and tracking of actual costs of steel, iron, manufactured products and construction materials to ensure that the 5% threshold is not exceeded. Records must be retained for at least five (5) years after receipt of the Contractor’s Final Release Letter.

Additionally, the Contractor shall notify the Engineer in writing of the intent to utilize the waiver prior to purchasing any De Minimis material and/or products. This written notice shall include the estimated cost of the De Minimis material and/or products and the estimated total applicable costs for the project. Any noncompliant items outlined in the project specific Utilities and Rail Certification Note shall also be included.

B) Certification. Prior to the issuance of the Notice to Proceed, the Contractor shall submit a Department approved Build America, Buy America Certificate, certifying compliance with all applicable requirements. Once submitted, the Contractor is bound by the Certification. A false certification is a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1001 and may result in criminal penalties. The Contractor bears the burden of proof of compliance.

In addition to the required Contractor certification, each manufacturer and/or supplier shall submit a certification to certify materials or supplies are in compliance with the applicable domestic material content procurement preferences found in the Buy America Act requirements (23 CFR 635.410) and the BABA Act (BABA) requirements (2 CFR part 184). The individual completing this form takes full responsibility for the information included in the form. The manufacturer/supplier shall utilize the AASHTO Domestic Materials Self-Certification Form.

C) Project Specific Waiver. At the Contractor’s request, the Cabinet may, but is not obligated to, seek a waiver of Buy America requirements if grounds for the waiver exist under 23 C.F.R. § 635.410(c) or will comply with the applicable Buy America requirements if a waiver of those requirements is not available or not pursued by the Cabinet. The time associated with the project specific waiver process will be considered non-compensable. Refer to the Federal Highway Administration’s Buy America webpage for more information.

4.00 DEFINITIONS.

A) Construction Materials. Pursuant to the definition in 2 CFR 184.3, construction materials are articles, materials or supplies that consist of only one of the following items. Minor additions of articles, materials, supplies or binding agents to a construction material do not change the categorization of a material as a “construction material”. All manufacturing processes for the construction material must occur in the United States.

• non-ferrous metals;

Document Phase Document Description Page 16

• plastic and polymer-based products (including polyvinylchloride, composite building materials, and polymers used in fiber optic cables);
