This is a Build America, Buy America (BABA) Certificate document issued by the City of Ocala, Florida, in June 2023 for ITB CIP260231, the Construction of Union Station Restroom with Ticketing Kiosk project. The certificate requires bidders to certify their compliance with federal Buy America provisions mandated under 49 U.S.C. 5323(j)(1) and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), Public Law 117-58, specifically regarding the procurement of steel, iron, and manufactured products as defined in 49 CFR 661.3 and 661.5. Bidders must complete and submit one of two certificates: a Certificate of Compliance affirming adherence to Build America, Buy America requirements, or a Certificate of Non-Compliance indicating inability to comply but potential qualification for an exception under 49 U.S.C. 5323(j)(2) and 49 CFR 661.7. Each certificate requires completion of company name, signatory name and title, signature, and date fields.

The document serves as a compliance mechanism for the federally funded Union Station project, which is subject to Federal Transit Administration (FTA) oversight and associated federal compliance standards. The BABA requirements apply to all steel, iron, and manufactured products incorporated into the approximately 500-square-foot restroom and ticketing kiosk facility, ensuring domestic content preferences are met in accordance with federal infrastructure funding guidelines. Bidders must address this certification requirement as part of their overall bid submission for the project with a deadline of February 2, 2026.
