MES Add 2 Att 3 CDBG Materials Certification Form.pdf

This is a Build America Buy America Materials Certification Form designed for the Town of Morris, Connecticut, in connection with the East Street Housing Site Infrastructure Project, a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)-funded construction and site development project. The form serves as a compliance document requiring contractors to certify that materials used in the project—including steel, iron, manufactured goods, and construction materials—were produced in the United States of America. The certification form includes spaces for the grantee, contract number, contractor name, and invoice period, along with a detailed inventory section accommodating up to fifteen line items for material documentation. Each material entry requires specification of the material type category, product description, manufacturer name, and product location of origin. Contractors must sign and print their names along with their company information to attest that all listed materials meet the domestic sourcing requirements mandated by federal funding regulations. The form structure allows for comprehensive tracking of materials across multiple invoice periods to ensure ongoing compliance with Buy America provisions throughout project execution.

The certification form is a mandatory compliance document rather than a pricing or contractual instrument, reflecting the increasing emphasis on domestic procurement requirements for federally-funded infrastructure projects. As a CDBG-funded project, the East Street Housing Site Infrastructure Project is subject to Build America Buy America compliance, which requires that all steel, iron, and manufactured products used in the project originate from United States manufacturers. The form does not establish pricing terms, set-asides, or contract amounts; rather, it functions as an administrative verification tool to document material sourcing compliance. Contractors must complete and submit this certification with invoices to demonstrate adherence to federal funding requirements. The extensive line-item capacity indicates anticipation of a complex project with numerous material inputs requiring individual certification, consistent with the project's scope involving site clearing, grading, stormwater systems, septic installation, electrical work, and paving operations across the affordable housing development site.
