SECTION 00 26 50 - BUY AMMERICAN REQUIREMENTS

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.1 RELATED DOCUMENTS

A. Drawings and general provisions of the Contract, including General and Supplementary

Conditions and Division 01 Specification Sections, apply to this Section.

1.2 SUMMARY

A. Section includes “Buy American – Construction Materials” requirements.

1.3 REQUIREMENTS: BUY AMERICAN – CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS

Buy American–Construction Materials (May 2014)

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause--

“Commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) item”—

(1) Means any item of supply (including construction material) that is—

(i) A commercial item (as defined in paragraph (1) of the definition at FAR

2.101);

(ii) Sold in substantial quantities in the commercial marketplace; and

(iii) Offered to the Government, under a contract or subcontract at any tier, without modification, in the same form in which it is sold in the commercial marketplace; and

(2) Does not include bulk cargo, as defined in 46 U.S.C. 40102(4), such as agricultural products and petroleum products.

“Component” means an article, material, or supply incorporated directly into a construction material.

“Construction material” means an article, material, or supply brought to the construction site by the Contractor or a subcontractor for incorporation into the building or work. The term also includes an item brought to the site preassembled from articles, materials, or supplies. However, 00 26 50 - 2 2/16/2017 2:12:30 PM emergency life safety systems, such as emergency lighting, fire alarm, and audio evacuation systems, that are discrete systems incorporated into a public building or work and that are produced as complete systems, are evaluated as a single and distinct construction material regardless of when or how the individual parts or components of those systems are delivered to the construction site. Materials purchased directly by the Government are supplies, not construction material.

“Cost of components” means--

(1) For components purchased by the Contractor, the acquisition cost, including transportation costs to the place of incorporation into the construction material (whether or not such costs are paid to a domestic firm), and any applicable duty (whether or not a duty-free entry certificate is issued); or

(2) For components manufactured by the Contractor, all costs associated with the manufacture of the component, including transportation costs as described in paragraph

(1) of this definition, plus allocable overhead costs, but excluding profit. Cost of components does not include any costs associated with the manufacture of the construction material.

“Domestic construction material” means—

(1) An unmanufactured construction material mined or produced in the United States;

(2) A construction material manufactured in the United States, if—

(i) The cost of its components mined, produced, or manufactured in the United

States exceeds 50 percent of the cost of all its components. Components of foreign origin of the same class or kind for which nonavailability determinations have been made are treated as domestic; or

(ii) The construction material is a COTS item.

“Foreign construction material” means a construction material other than a domestic construction material.

“United States” means the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and outlying areas.

(b) Domestic preference.

(1) This clause implements the 41 U.S.C. chapter 83, Buy American, by providing a preference for domestic construction material. In accordance with 41 U.S.C. 1907, the component test of the Buy American statute is waived for construction material that is a

COTS item. (See FAR 12.505(a)(2)). The Contractor shall use only domestic construction material in performing this contract, except as provided in paragraphs (b)(2) and (b)(3) of this clause.

2/16/2017 2:12:30 PM 00 26 50 - 3

(2) This requirement does not apply to information technology that is a commercial item or to the construction materials or components listed by the Government as follows:

______ [Contracting Officer to list applicable excepted materials or indicate “none”]

(3) The Contracting Officer may add other foreign construction material to the list in paragraph (b)(2) of this clause if the Government determines that

(i) The cost of domestic construction material would be unreasonable. The cost of a particular domestic construction material subject to the requirements of the Buy

American statute is unreasonable when the cost of such material exceeds the cost of foreign material by more than 6 percent;

(ii) The application of the restriction of the Buy American statute to a particular construction material would be impracticable or inconsistent with the public interest; or

(iii) The construction material is not mined, produced, or manufactured in the

United States in sufficient and reasonably available commercial quantities of a satisfactory quality.

(c) Request for determination of inapplicability of the Buy American statute.

(1)

(i) Any Contractor request to use foreign construction material in accordance with paragraph (b)(3) of this clause shall include adequate information for Government evaluation of the request, including--

(A) A description of the foreign and domestic construction materials;

(B) Unit of measure;

(C) Quantity;

(D) Price;

(E) Time of delivery or availability;

(F) Location of the construction project;

(G) Name and address of the proposed supplier; and

(H) A detailed justification of the reason for use of foreign construction materials cited in accordance with paragraph (b)(3) of this clause.

00 26 50 - 4 2/16/2017 2:12:30 PM

(ii) A request based on unreasonable cost shall include a reasonable survey of the market and a completed price comparison table in the format in paragraph (d) of this clause.

(iii) The price of construction material shall include all delivery costs to the construction site and any applicable duty (whether or not a duty-free certificate may be issued).

(iv) Any Contractor request for a determination submitted after contract award shall explain why the Contractor could not reasonably foresee the need for such determination and could not have requested the determination before contract award. If the Contractor does not submit a satisfactory explanation, the

Contracting Officer need not make a determination.

(2) If the Government determines after contract award that an exception to the Buy

American statute applies and the Contracting Officer and the Contractor negotiate adequate consideration, the Contracting Officer will modify the contract to allow use of the foreign construction material. However, when the basis for the exception is the unreasonable price of a domestic construction material, adequate consideration is not less than the differential established in paragraph (b)(3)(i) of this clause.

(3) Unless the Government determines that an exception to the Buy American statute applies, use of foreign construction material is noncompliant with the Buy American statute.

(d) Data. To permit evaluation of requests under paragraph (c) of this clause based on unreasonable cost, the Contractor shall include the following information and any applicable supporting data based on the survey of suppliers:

Foreign and Domestic Construction Materials Price Comparison

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.1 SCOPE

A. Project provides for furnishing all plant, labor, materials, equipment and furnishings for the project at Selfridge ANG Base MI as described herein and shown on the construction drawings.

Hierarchy of contract documents is as follows: Delivery Order requirements (Statement of

Work or Statement of Objectives) precedes default specifications.

B. The Contractor will be held responsible for all requirements described in the Contract

Documents and all work including that of all tier subcontractor(s), if any, shall be done in accordance with the Contract Documents. Failure to be familiar with all contract requirements will not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility to comply.

C. The Contract Documents Are Complementary: What is required by one is as binding as if required by all. The Contractor shall coordinate all portions of the work such that it is delivered complete.

D. The organization of the specification’s divisions, sections, and attachments, and the arrangement of the Drawings shall not control the Contractor in dividing the work among subcontractor(s) or in establishing the extent of the work to be performed by any trade.

1.2 ENTRY TO BASE/ACCESS TO SITE

A. Selfridge ANG Base MI is a closed base, pursuant to Section 21, Internal Security Act of 1950, 50 U.S.C. 797 and, as such, only those persons granted permission may enter. It is, therefore, required that control be exercised over Contractor personnel while working on the Base. To maintain this control, a list (herein attached) of all Contractor personnel (prime and all tiers of subcontractors) who will be working under the contract, must be submitted to the Contracting

Officer a minimum of 5 working days prior to the start of work. The preferred method of providing this list is via email, to the Contracting Officer. The list shall include, but is not limited to, contract number, project number, project title, company names, employee names, and the estimated start and end date of each person’s employment on the Project. Subsequent lists updating all personnel additions and/or deletions will be submitted as indicated above as employees are hired or released.

B. During construction, the Contractor shall permit base personnel access to the facilities within the work area. The Contractor shall provide protection to persons and property throughout the progress of the work.

01 00 00- 2 2/16/2017 2:12:18 PM

Work.”

B. It is expected that prospective bidders/offerors visit the premises and thoroughly familiarize themselves with the details of the work and working conditions. A certification from the contractor that they have visited or the understanding of potential consequences for not attending the site will be required at the time of proposal. It is the responsibility of all bidders/offerors to have compared the premises and the site with the Specifications and

Drawings, and to have satisfied themselves as to all conditions of the premises, the existing obstructions, the actual elevations, and any other conditions affecting the execution and completion of the work prior to submission of a proposal. Reference Contract Clause

FAR 52.236-3, “Site Investigation and Conditions Affecting the Work.”

C. No allowances or extra construction on behalf of any Contractor will be permitted by reason of error or oversight. Reference Contract Clause FAR 52.236-3, “Site Investigation and

Conditions Affecting the Work.”

D. Carefully check the site where this project is to be erected and observe any overhead wires and equipment. Any such work shall be moved, replaced, or protected, as required, whether or not shown or specified.

E. All dimensions shown on the Drawings are based on “as-built” record drawings and, to the extent possible, accurately represent existing conditions; however, there may be some variance between existing conditions and Contract Drawings. The Contractor is responsible for verifying all dimensions and for reporting to the Contracting Officer any discrepancies that may affect performance of the work represented by Contract Drawings and Specifications. Reference

Contract Clause DFARS 252.236-7001 “Contract Drawings and Specifications.”

1.4 CORRELATION OF DRAWINGS, SPECIFICATIONS, AND CONTRACTS

A. The Contract specifications and the accompanying Drawings are intended to describe and provide for the attached project. They are intended to be cooperative and what is called for by one shall be as binding as if called for by all. The Contractor shall understand that the work herein described shall be complete in every detail, not withstanding that every item necessarily involved is not particularly mentioned, and the Contractor shall be held to provide all labor and material for the entire completion of the work intended to be described and shall not avail any

2/16/2017 2:12:18 PM 01 00 00- 3

manifestly unintentional error or omission, should any exist. Should any error or inconsistency appear in the Drawings and/or specifications, the Contractor, before proceeding with the work, shall make mention in writing of same to the Contracting Officer for proper adjustment, and in no case shall proceed with the work in uncertainty. Reference Contract Clauses FAR 52.236-21

“Specifications and Drawings for Construction.”

1.5 REPORT OF ERROR AND DISCREPANCIES

A. The Contractor shall be responsible for the coordination and proper relation of all aspects of the work. The Contractor shall field verify all dimensions and promptly notify the Contracting

Officer.

D. Any proposed changes to the specifications by the Contractor must be submitted in writing to the Contracting Officer for approval prior to implementation.

E. Omissions from the drawings or specifications or the misdescription of details of work that are manifestly necessary to carry out the intent of the drawings and specifications, or that are customarily performed, shall not relieve the Contractor from performing such omitted or misdescribed details of the work. The Contractor shall perform such details as if fully and correctly set forth and described in the drawings and specifications.

F. Reference Contract Clauses FAR 52.236-21, “Specifications and Drawings for Construction.”

FAR 52.246-12 “Inspection of Construction,” and DFARS 252.236-7001, “Contract Drawings, and Specifications.”

1.6 DIVISION OF WORK

A. The various divisions of the specifications shall not be considered as negotiations of the material and labor involved. The arrangement and order of these divisions have been made for convenience only, and it is not the intent, nor shall it be so construed, that a particular trade or

Subcontractor must perform that work included in any one division. Reference Contract Clause
