Project Partnering 32 The Engineer and the Contractor’s Project Manager (PM) will plan and host a Project 33 Partnering workshop as soon as practical after Contract execution. The objective of this 34 Partnering workshop is to promote open lines of communication and teamwork between 35 the Contracting Agency and Contractor staff for the effective completion of the work, and 36 to the standard of quality that will be a source of pride to both the Contracting Agency and 37 the Contractor. Commitments made by both parties shall be memorialized in a Project 38 Partnering Agreement at the conclusion of the Partnering workshop. The Partnering 39 agreement will not affect the terms of the Contract. It is intended only to establish an 40 environment of cooperation and mutual understanding between the parties. 41 The planning and execution of the Partnering process is intended to be a collaborative 43 effort between the Engineer and the PM. The length of the partnering workshop should 44 be commensurate with the size and complexity of the project, and familiarity of the parties. 45 For simple projects an expanded pre-construction meeting may suffice. The partnering 46 workshop may be facilitated by the Engineer, the Engineer and PM, or a mutually 47 agreeable Partnering Facilitator (PF). Selection of a PF, dates and location of the 48 workshops, materials needed for the workshop, frequency and location for follow up 49 meetings, and estimated cost associated with this effort should be discussed and agreed 50 to prior to moving forward with the Partnering process. 51

26Y016 7 are mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States must be greater than 1 55 percent of the total cost of all components of the Manufactured Product. 2

3. All Construction Materials used in the project. This means that all manufacturing 4 processes for the Construction Material occurred in the United States. 5

An article, material, or supply will be classified in one of four categories: 1) Iron or Steel 7 Product, 2) Manufactured Product, 3) Construction Material, or 4) Excluded Material. Only 8 a single category will apply to an item except as follows: 9

1. With respect to precast concrete products that are classified as Manufactured 11 Products, the components of precast concrete products that consist wholly or 12 predominantly of iron, steel, or combination of both shall meet the requirements 13 for and be tracked as an Iron or Steel Product. The item shall also meet the 14 requirements for and be tracked as a Manufactured Product. 15

2. With respect to intelligent transportation systems and other electronic hardware 17 systems that are classified as Manufactured Products, the cabinets or other 18 enclosures of such systems that consist wholly or predominantly of iron, steel, 19 or a combination of both, shall meet the requirements for and be tracked as an 20 Iron or Steel Product. The item shall also meet the requirements for and be 21 tracked as a Manufactured Product. 22

Some Contract items are composed of multiple parts that may fall into different categories. 24 Individual components will be categorized as a Construction Material, a Manufactured 25 Product, an Iron or Steel Product, or an Excluded Material based on their composition 26 when they arrive at the staging area or work site. 27 Definitions 29

1. Construction Material: Defined as any article, material, or supply brought to the 30 construction site for incorporation into the final product. Construction Materials 31 include an article, material, or supply that is or consists primarily of: 32

a. Non-ferrous metals including all manufacturing processes, from initial smelting 34 or melting through final shaping, coating, and assembly; 35

b. Plastic and polymer-based products including all manufacturing processes, from 37 initial combination of constituent plastic or polymer-based inputs, or, where 38 applicable, constituent composite materials, until the item is in its final form); 39

c. Glass including all manufacturing processes, from initial batching and melting of 41 raw materials through annealing, cooling, and cutting); 42

d. Fiber optic cable (includes drop cable) including all manufacturing processes, 44 from initial ribboning (if applicable), through buffering, fiber stranding and 45 jacketing, (fiber optic cable also includes the standards for glass and optical 46 fiber); 47

e. Optical fiber including all manufacturing processes, from the initial preform 49 fabrication stage, though the completion of the draw; 50

PAVEMENT REPAIRS

26Y016 8

f. Lumber including all manufacturing processes, from initial debarking through 1 treatment and planing; 2

g. Drywall including all manufacturing processes, from initial blending of mined or 4 synthetic gypsum plaster and additives through cutting and drying of 5 sandwiched panels; or 6

h. Engineered wood including all manufacturing processes from the initial 8 combination of constituent materials until the wood product is in its final form. 9 If a Construction Material is not manufactured in the United States it shall be 11 considered a Foreign Construction Material. 12

2. Excluded Material: A material where Buy America requirements do not apply. This 14 includes the following: 15

a. Materials excluded by Section 70917(c) of the Buy America, Build America Act 17 with respect to aggregates this includes cement and cementitious materials, 18 aggregates such as stone, sand, or gravel or aggregate binding agents or 19 additives. These materials shall be classified as Excluded Materials based on 20 the composition when brought to the work site. It also includes combinations of 21 these excluded materials when mixtures of Excluded Materials are delivered to 22 the work site without final form for incorporation into the project (i.e. wet concrete 23 and HMA). If they are formed prior to delivery, they are a Manufactured Product 24 and not an Excluded Material. 25

b. Temporary materials that are not being permanently incorporated into the 27 project. 28

c. Raw or minimal processed materials where the article, material, or supply does 30 not fall into any of the categories, as it is not a Manufactured Product, an Iron or 31 Steel Product, or a Construction Material and when these materials are 32 delivered to the work site without final form for incorporation into the product (i.e. 33 seed mix and topsoil). If they are formed prior to delivery, and are not an Iron or 34 Steel Product or a Construction Material, they are a Manufactured Product and 35 not an Excluded Material. 36

3. Iron or Steel Product: An article, material, or supply that consist of wholly or 38 predominantly of iron or steel or a combination of both. To be considered 39 predominantly of iron or steel or a combination of both means that the cost of the iron 40 and steel content exceeds 50 percent of the total cost of all its components. The 41 cost of iron and steel is based on a good faith estimate of the cost of the iron or steel 42 components. 43

4. Manufactured Product: A Manufactured Product includes any item produced as a 45 result of the manufacturing process. Items that should be treated as a manufactured 46 product (rather than a Construction Material) are: 1) items that consist of two or more 47 of the listed Construction Materials that have been combined together through a 48 manufacturing process, and 2) items that include at least one of the listed 49 Construction Materials as defined above, combined with a material that is not listed 50 through a manufacturing process. 51

PAVEMENT REPAIRS

26Y016 9

If a product is not an Iron or Steel Product, a Construction Material, or an Excluded 1 Material, it is a Manufactured Product. 2

If a manufactured material is not manufactured in the United States, it shall be 4 considered a Foreign Manufactured Product. 5

5. United States: To further define the coverage, a domestic product is a material that 7 was produced in one of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, or in the 8 territories and possessions of the United States. 9

Iron or Steel Product Requirements 11 Iron or Steel Products that are permanently incorporated into the project shall consist of 12 American-made materials only. Buy America requirements do not apply to temporary steel 13 or iron items, e.g., temporary sheet piling, temporary bridges, steel scaffolding and 14 falsework. 15 Minor amounts of foreign steel and iron may be utilized in this project provided the cost 17 of the foreign material used does not exceed one-tenth of one percent of the total Contract 18 cost or $2,500.00, whichever is greater. The total Contract cost is the final Contract cost, 19 including any modifications due to change orders, at the end of the project. 20 American-made material is defined as material having all manufacturing processes 22 occurring domestically. 23 If domestically produced steel billets or iron ingots are exported outside of the United 25 States, as defined above, for any manufacturing process then the resulting product does 26 not conform to the Buy America requirements. Additionally, products manufactured 27 domestically from foreign source steel billets or iron ingots do not conform to the Buy 28 America requirements because the initial melting and mixing of alloys to create the 29 material occurred in a foreign country. 30 Manufacturing begins with the initial melting and mixing and continues through the coating 32 stage. Any process which modifies the chemical content, the physical size or shape, or 33 the final finish is considered a manufacturing process. The processes include rolling, 34 extruding, machining, bending, grinding, drilling, welding, and coating. The action of 35 applying a coating to steel or iron is deemed a manufacturing process. Coating includes 36 epoxy coating, galvanizing, aluminizing, painting, and any other coating that protects or 37 enhances the value of steel or iron. Any process from the original reduction from ore to 38 the finished product constitutes a manufacturing process for iron. 39 Due to a nationwide waiver, Buy America requirements do not apply to raw materials (iron 41 ore and alloys), scrap (recycled steel or iron), and pig iron ore processed, pelletized, and 42 reduced iron ore. 43 The following are considered to be steel manufacturing processes: 45

1. Production of steel by any of the following processes: 47

a. Open hearth furnace. 49

b. Basic oxygen. 51

PAVEMENT REPAIRS

26Y016 10

c. Electric furnace. 1

d. Direct reduction. 3

2. Rolling, heat treating, and any other similar processing. 5

3. Fabrication of the products: 7

a. Spinning wire into cable or strand. 9

b. Corrugating and rolling into culverts. 11

c. Shop fabrication. 13

A certification of materials origin will be required for all Iron or Steel Products prior to such 15 items being incorporated into the permanent Work. The Contractor will not receive 16 payment until the certification is received by the Engineer. The certification shall be on 17 WSDOT Form 350-109 provided by the Engineer, or such other form approved by the 18 Contracting Agency, provided it contains the same information as WSDOT Form 350-109. 19 Manufactured Products and Construction Material Requirements 21 A Contractor provided certification of materials origin will be required before each 22 progress estimate or payment. The Contractor will not receive payment until the 23 certification is received by the Engineer. The Contractor shall certify that all Manufactured 24 Products and all Construction Materials installed during the current progress estimate 25 period meet the Buy America requirements. The certification shall be on WSDOT Form 26 350-107 provided by the Engineer, or such other form approved by the Contracting 27 Agency, provided it contains the same information as WSDOT Form 350-107. 28

Iron or Steel Products in a Manufactured Product 30 In addition to providing the certification of materials origin for the Manufactured 31 Product, the Iron or Steel Products in a Manufactured Product are subject to the Buy 32 America requirements as follows: 33

1. When a precast concrete product is classified as a Manufactured Product, 35 the components that are an Iron or Steel Product shall follow the “Iron or 36 Steel Requirements” of this Specification. 37

2. When an electronic hardware system such as an intelligent transportation 39 system is classified as a Manufactured Product, the cabinets and the other 40 enclosures of such systems that are an Iron or Steel Product shall follow 41 the “Iron or Steel Requirements” of this Specification. 42

Waiver for De Minimis Costs 44 Minor amounts of Foreign Construction Materials and Foreign Manufactured Products 45 may be utilized in this project, provided that the total cost of the Foreign Construction 46 Materials and Foreign Manufactured Products does not exceed $1,000,000 and does not 47 exceed 5 percent of the total applicable material costs calculated as follows: 48

< 0.05 50

PAVEMENT REPAIRS

Area is as designated herein. 21 In accordance with 41 CFR § 60-4.3, the clauses contained in 1-15 below are required to 23 be included in this Contract. Nothing in this Contract alters the Contractor’s responsibility 24 to comply with all applicable Federal regulations, including but not limited to 41 CFR part 25 60 as currently existing or later amended. 26 Standard Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Construction Contract Specifications 28

(4) American Indian or Alaskan Native (all persons having origins in any of the 5 original peoples of North America and maintaining identifiable tribal 6 affiliations through membership and participation or community 7 identification.) 8

2. Whenever the Contractor, or any subcontractor at any tier, subcontracts a portion of 10 the work involving any construction trade, it shall physically include in each 11 subcontract in excess of $10,000 the provisions of these specifications and the 12 Notice which contains the applicable goals for minority and female participation and 13 which is set forth in the solicitations from which this contract resulted. 14

3. If the Contractor is participating (pursuant to 41 CFR 60-4.5) in a Hometown Plan 16 approved by the U.S. Department of Labor in the covered area either individually or 17 through an association, its affirmative action obligations on all work in the Plan area 18 (including goals and timetables) shall be in accordance with that Plan for those trades 19 which have unions participating in the Plan. Contractors must be able to demonstrate 20 their participation in and compliance with the provisions of any such Hometown Plan. 21 Each Contractor or subcontractor participating in an approved Plan is individually 22 required to comply with its obligations under the EEO clause, and to make a good 23 faith effort to achieve each goal under the Plan in each trade in which it has 24 employees. The overall good faith performance by other Contractors or 25 subcontractors toward a goal in an approved Plan does not excuse any covered 26 Contractor's or subcontractor's failure to take good faith efforts to achieve the Plan 27 goals and timetables. 28

The goals set forth in the 31 solicitation from which this contract resulted are expressed as percentages of the 32 total hours of employment and training of minority and female utilization the 33 Contractor should reasonably be able to achieve in each construction trade in which 34 it has employees in the covered area. Covered construction contractors performing 35 construction work in geographical areas where they do not have a Federal or 36 federally assisted construction contract shall apply the minority and female goals 37 established for the geographical area where the work is being performed. The 38 Contractor is expected to make substantially uniform progress in meeting its goals in 39 each craft during the period specified. 40

5. Neither the provisions of any collective bargaining agreement, nor the failure by a 42 union with whom the Contractor has a collective bargaining agreement, to refer either 43 minorities or women shall excuse the Contractor's obligations under these 44 specifications, Executive Order 11246, or the regulations promulgated pursuant 45 thereto. 46

6. In order for the nonworking training hours of apprentices and trainees to be counted 48 in meeting the goals, such apprentices and trainees must be employed by the 49 Contractor during the training period, and the Contractor must have made a 50 commitment to employ the apprentices and trainees at the completion of their 51

The evaluation of the Contractor's compliance with these specifications 5 shall be based upon its effort to achieve maximum results from its actions. The 6 Contractor shall document these efforts fully, and shall implement affirmative action 7 steps at least as extensive as the following: 8

a. Ensure and maintain a working environment free of harassment, 10 intimidation, and coercion at all sites, and in all facilities at which the 11 Contractor's employees are assigned to work. The Contractor, where 12 possible, will assign two or more women to each construction project. The 13 Contractor shall specifically ensure that all foremen, superintendents, and 14 other on-site supervisory personnel are aware of and carry out the 15 Contractor's obligation to maintain such a working environment, with 16 specific attention to minority or female individuals working at such sites or 17 in such facilities. 18

b. Establish and maintain a current list of minority and female recruitment 20 sources, provide written notification to minority and female recruitment 21 sources and to community organizations when the Contractor or its unions 22 have employment opportunities available, and maintain a record of the 23 organizations' responses. 24

c. Maintain a current file of the names, addresses and telephone numbers of 26 each minority and female off-the-street applicant and minority or female 27 referral from a union, a recruitment source or community organization and 28 of what action was taken with respect to each such individual. If such 29 individual was sent to the union hiring hall for referral and was not referred 30 back to the Contractor by the union or, if referred, not employed by the 31 Contractor, this shall be documented in the file with the reason therefor, 32 along with whatever additional actions the Contractor may have taken. 33

d. Provide immediate written notification to the Director when the union or 35 unions with which the Contractor has a collective bargaining agreement has 36 not referred to the Contractor a minority person or woman sent by the 37 Contractor, or when the Contractor has other information that the union 38 referral process has impeded the Contractor's efforts to meet its obligations. 39

e. Develop on-the-job training opportunity and/or participate in training 41 programs for the area which expressly include minorities and women, 42 including upgrading programs and apprenticeship and trainee programs 43 relevant to the Contractor's employment needs, especially those programs 44 funded or approved by the U.S. Department of Labor. The Contractor shall 45 provide notice of these programs to the sources compiled under 7b above. 46

f. Disseminate the Contractor's EEO policy by providing notice of the policy 48 to unions and training programs and requesting their cooperation in 49 assisting the Contractor in meeting its EEO obligations; by including it in 50 any policy manual and collective bargaining agreement; by publicizing it in 51 the company newspaper, annual report, etc.; by specific review of the policy 52

Review, at least annually, the company's EEO policy and affirmative action 6 obligations under these specifications with all employees having any 7 responsibility for hiring, assignment, layoff, termination or other 8 employment decisions including specific review of these items with on-site 9 supervisory personnel such as Superintendents, General Foremen, etc., 10 prior to the initiation of construction work at any job site. A written record 11 shall be made and maintained identifying the time and place of these 12 meetings, persons attending, subject matter discussed, and disposition of 13 the subject matter. 14

h. Disseminate the Contractor's EEO policy externally by including it in any 16 advertising in the news media, specifically including minority and female 17 news media, and providing written notification to and discussing the 18 Contractor's EEO policy with…
