The 4 cost of iron and steel is based on a good faith estimate of the cost of the iron or steel 5 components. 6

4. Manufactured Product: A Manufactured Product includes any item produced as a 8 result of the manufacturing process. Items that should be treated as a manufactured 9 product (rather than a construction material) are: 1) items that consist of two or more 10 of the listed construction materials that have been combined together through a 11 manufacturing process, and 2) items that include at least one of the listed 12 construction materials as defined above, combined with a material that is not listed 13 through a manufacturing process. 14

If a product is not an Iron or Steel Product, a Construction Material, or an Excluded 16

Material, it is a Manufactured Product. 17 If a Manufactured Material is not manufactured in the United States, it shall be 19 considered a Foreign Manufactured Product. 20

5. United States: To further define the coverage, a domestic product is a manufactured 22 steel construction material that was produced in one of the 50 states, the District of 23 Columbia, Puerto Rico, or in the territories and possessions of the United States. 24

Iron or Steel Product Requirements 26 Iron or Steel Products that are permanently incorporated into the project shall consist of 27 American-made materials only. Buy America requirements do not apply to temporary steel 28 or iron items, e.g., temporary sheet piling, temporary bridges, steel scaffolding and 29 falsework. 30 Minor amounts of foreign steel and iron may be utilized in this project provided the cost 32 of the foreign material used does not exceed one-tenth of one percent of the total contract 33 cost or $2,500.00, whichever is greater. 34 American-made material is defined as material having all manufacturing processes 36 occurring domestically. 37 If domestically produced steel billets or iron ingots are exported outside of the United 39 States, as defined above, for any manufacturing process then the resulting product does 40 not conform to the Buy America requirements. Additionally, products manufactured 41 domestically from foreign source steel billets or iron ingots do not conform to the Buy 42 America requirements because the initial melting and mixing of alloys to create the 43 material occurred in a foreign country. 44 Manufacturing begins with the initial melting and mixing and continues through the coating 46 stage. Any process which modifies the chemical content, the physical size or shape, or 47 the final finish is considered a manufacturing process. The processes include rolling, 48 extruding, machining, bending, grinding, drilling, welding, and coating. The action of 49 applying a coating to steel or iron is deemed a manufacturing process. Coating includes 50 epoxy coating, galvanizing, aluminizing, painting, and any other coating that protects or 51

25C512 11 enhances the value of steel or iron. Any process from the original reduction from ore to 1 the finished product constitutes a manufacturing process for iron. 2 Due to a nationwide waiver, Buy America requirements do not apply to raw materials (iron 4 ore and alloys), scrap (recycled steel or iron), and pig iron ore processed, pelletized, and 5 reduced iron ore. 6 The following are considered to be steel manufacturing processes: 8

1. Production of steel by any of the following processes: 10

a. Open hearth furnace. 12

b. Basic oxygen. 14

c. Electric furnace. 16

d. Direct reduction. 18

2. Rolling, heat treating, and any other similar processing. 20

3. Fabrication of the products: 22

a. Spinning wire into cable or strand. 24

b. Corrugating and rolling into culverts. 26

c. Shop fabrication. 28

A certification of materials origin will be required for all iron or steel products prior to such 30 items being incorporated into the permanent work. The Contractor will not receive 31 payment until the certification is received by the Engineer. The certification shall be on 32 WSDOT Form 350-109 provided by the Engineer, or such other form approved by the 33 Contracting Agency, provided it contains the same information as WSDOT Form 350-109. 34 Manufactured Products and Construction Material Requirements 36 A Contractor provided certification of materials origin will be required before each 37 progress estimate or payment. The Contractor will not receive payment until the 38 certification is received by the Engineer. The Contractor shall certify that all Manufactured 39 Products and all Construction Materials installed during the current progress estimate 40 period meet the Buy America requirements. The certification shall be on WSDOT Form 41 350-108 provided by the Engineer, or such other form approved by the Contracting 42 Agency, provided it contains the same information as WSDOT Form 350-108. 43

Iron or Steel Products in a Manufactured Product 45 In addition to providing the certification of materials origin for the Manufactured 46 Product, the iron or steel products in a manufactured product are subject to the Buy 47 America requirements as follows: 48

1. When a precast concrete product is classified as a Manufactured Product, 50 the components that are an Iron or Steel Product shall follow the “Iron or 51 Steel Requirements” of this Specification. 52

CONGESTION MANAGEMENT

25C512 12

2. When an electronic hardware system such as an intelligent transportation 2 system is classified as a Manufactured Product, the cabinets and the other 3 enclosures of such systems that are an Iron or Steel Product shall follow 4 the “Iron or Steel Requirements” of this Specification. 5

Waiver for De Minimis Costs 7 Minor amounts of Foreign Construction Materials and Foreign Manufactured Products 8 may be utilized in this project, provided that the total cost of the Foreign Construction 9 Materials and Foreign Manufactured Products does not exceed $1,000,000 and does not 10 exceed 5 percent of the total applicable material costs calculated as follows: 11 𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇 𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐 𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜 𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹 𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶 𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀 + 𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇 𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐 𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜 𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹 𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀 𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃
