contract will be submitted to the COR who will recommend

\(2\) Before any substantial change occurs in the condition of the item,
unless the change is due to the defect in the item.

control of the Contractor and without its fault or negligence, such as
acts of God or the public enemy, acts of the Government in either its
sovereign or contractual capacity, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine
restrictions, strikes, unusually severe weather, and delays of common

its standard record keeping system, have resulted from the termination.
The Contractor shall not be required to comply with the cost accounting

  ------------- ----------- ------------------------------------------ --------------

\(a\) The offeror\'s attention is called to the Equal Opportunity clause
and the Affirmative Action Compliance Requirements for Construction
clause of this solicitation.

\(b\) The goals for minority and female participation, expressed in
percentage terms for the Contractor\'s aggregate workforce in each trade
on all construction work in the covered area, are as follows:

Compliance Requirements for Construction,\'\' and (3) its efforts to
meet the goals. The hours of minority and female employment and training
must be substantially uniform throughout the length of the contract, and

minorities and women evenly on each of its projects. The transfer of
minority or female employees or trainees from Contractor to Contractor,
or from project to project, for the sole purpose of meeting the
Contractor\'s goals shall be a violation of the contract, Executive
Order 11246, as amended, and the regulations in 41 CFR 60-4. Compliance
with the goals will be measured against the total work hours performed.

\(d\) The Contractor shall provide written notification to the Deputy
Assistant Secretary for Federal Contract Compliance, U.S.

\(4\) Estimated starting and completion dates of the subcontract; and

\(5\) Geographical area in which the subcontract is to be performed.

\(e\) As used in this Notice, and in any contract resulting from this
solicitation, the \"covered area\" is . . . . . . . . \[Contracting

  []{#_toc_I4   52.225-09   Buy American Act - Construction Materials  January 2005
  .anchor}I.4                                                          

  ------------- ----------- ------------------------------------------ --------------

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

\"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, 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; or

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

\"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 Buy American
Act (41 U.S.C. 10a - 10d) by providing a preference for domestic
construction material. 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.

\(2\) This requirement does not apply to the construction material or
components listed by the Government as follows:

**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 Act 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 Act 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
Act. (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.

\(ii\) 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 Act 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 Act applies, use of foreign construction material is
noncompliant with the Buy American Act.

\(d\) 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

  .anchor}I.5               Construction Materials                     

  ------------- ----------- ------------------------------------------ --------------

\(a\) Definitions. \"Construction material,\" \"domestic construction
material,\" and \"foreign construction material,\" as used in this
provision, are defined in the clause of this solicitation entitled \"Buy
American Act-Construction Materials\" (Federal Acquisition Regulation
(FAR) clause 52.225-9).

\(b\) Requests for determinations of inapplicability. An offeror
requesting a determination regarding the inapplicability of the Buy
American Act should submit the request to the Contracting Officer in
time to allow a determination before submission of offers. The offeror
shall include the information and applicable supporting data required by
paragraphs (c) and (d) of the clause at FAR 52.225-9 in the request. If
an offeror has not requested a determination regarding the
inapplicability of the Buy American Act before submitting its offer, or
has not received a response to a previous request, the offeror shall
include the information and supporting data in the offer.

\(c\) Evaluation of offers. (1) The Government will evaluate an offer
requesting exception to the requirements of the Buy American Act, based
on claimed unreasonable cost of domestic construction material, by
adding to the offered price the appropriate percentage of the cost of
such foreign construction material, as specified in paragraph (b)(3)(i)
of the clause at FAR 52.225-9.

\(2\) If evaluation results in a tie between an offeror that requested
the substitution of foreign construction material based on unreasonable
cost and an offeror that did not request an exception, the Contracting
Officer will award to the offeror that did not request an exception
based on unreasonable cost.

\(d\) Alternate offers. (1) When an offer includes foreign construction
material not listed by the Government in this solicitation in paragraph
(b)(2) of the clause at FAR 52.225-9, the offeror also may submit an
alternate offer based on use of equivalent domestic construction
material.

\(2\) If an alternate offer is submitted, the offeror shall submit a
separate Standard Form 1442 for the alternate offer, and a separate
price comparison table prepared in accordance with paragraphs (c) and
(d) of the clause at FAR 52.225-9 for the offer that is based on the use
of any foreign construction material for which the Government has not
yet determined an exception applies.

\(3\) If the Government determines that a particular exception requested
in accordance with paragraph (c) of the clause at FAR 52.225-9 does not
apply, the Government will evaluate only those offers based on use of
the equivalent domestic construction material, and the offeror shall be
required to furnish such domestic construction material. An offer based
on use of the foreign construction material for which an exception was
requested-

\(i\) Will be rejected as nonresponsive if this acquisition is conducted
by sealed bidding; or

\(ii\) May be accepted if revised during negotiations.

to access funds under the payment protection when it has been alleged in
writing by a supplier of labor or material that a nonpayment has
occurred, and to withhold such funds pending resolution by
administrative or judicial proceedings or mutual agreement of the
parties.

  ------------- ----------- ------------------------------------------ --------------

\(a\) \`\`Irrevocable letter of credit\'\' (ILC), as used in this
clause, means a written commitment by a federally insured financial
institution to pay all or part of a stated amount of money, until the
expiration date of the letter, upon presentation by the Government (the
beneficiary) of a written demand therefor. Neither the financial
institution nor the offeror/Contractor can revoke or condition the
letter of credit.

\(b\) If the offeror intends to use an ILC in lieu of a bid bond, or to
secure other types of bonds such as performance and payment bonds, the
letter of credit and letter of confirmation formats in paragraphs (e)
and (f) of this clause shall be used.

\(c\) The letter of credit shall be irrevocable, shall require
presentation of no document other than a written demand and the ILC
(including confirming letter, if any), shall be issued/confirmed by an
acceptable federally insured financial institution as provided in
paragraph (d) of this clause, and\--

\(1\) If used as a bid guarantee, the ILC shall expire no earlier than
60 days after the close of the bid acceptance period;

\(2\) If used as an alternative to corporate or individual sureties as
security for a performance or payment bond, the offeror/Contractor may
submit an ILC with an initial expiration date estimated to cover the
entire period for which financial security is required or may submit an
ILC with an initial expiration date that is a minimum period of one year
from the date of issuance. The ILC shall provide that, unless the issuer
provides the beneficiary written notice of non-renewal at least 60 days
in advance of the current expiration date, the ILC is automatically
extended without amendment for one year from the expiration date, or any
future expiration date, until the period of required coverage is
completed and the Contracting Officer provides the financial institution
with a written statement waiving the right to payment. The period of
required coverage shall be:

\(i\) For contracts subject to the Miller Act, the later of\--

\(A\) One year following the expected date of final payment;

\(B\) For performance bonds only, until completion of any warranty
period; or

\(C\) For payment bonds only, until resolution of all claims filed
against the payment bond during the one-year period following final
payment.

\(ii\) For contracts not subject to the Miller Act, the later of\--

\(A\) 90 days following final payment; or

\(B\) For performance bonds only, until completion of any warranty
period.

\(d\) Only federally insured financial institutions rated investment
grade or higher shall issue or confirm the ILC. The offeror/Contractor
shall provide the Contracting Officer a credit rating that indicates the
financial institution has the required rating(s) as of the date of
issuance of the ILC. Unless the financial institution issuing the ILC
had letter of credit business of less than \$25 million in the past
year, ILCs over \$5 million must be confirmed by another acceptable
financial institution that had letter of credit business of less than
\$25 million in the past year.

institution to create an ILC:

WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS

1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can

be:

\* an existing published wage determination

\* a survey underlying a wage determination

\* a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on

a wage determination matter

\* a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling

On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests

for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour

Regional Office for the area in which the survey was conducted

because those Regional Offices have responsibility for the

Davis-Bacon survey program. If the response from this initial

contact is not satisfactory, then the process described in 2.)

and 3.) should be followed.

With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal

process described here, initial contact should be with the

Branch of Construction Wage Determinations. Write to:

Branch of Construction Wage Determinations

Wage and Hour Division

U.S. Department of Labor

200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

2.) If the answer to the quuestion in 1.) is yes, then an

interested party (those affected by the action) can request

review and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour Administrator

(See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7). Write to:

Wage and Hour Administrator

U.S. Department of Labor

200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

The request should be accompanied by a full statement of the

interested party\'s position and by any information (wage

payment data, project description, area practice material,

etc.) that the requestor considers relevant to the issue.

3.) If the decision of the Administrator is not favorable, an

interested party may appeal directly to the Administrative

Review Board (formerly the Wage Appeals Board). Write to:

Administrative Review Board

U.S. Department of Labor

200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

4.) All decisions by the Administrative Review Board are final.

\(a\) Award will be made to the responsible firm whose quote is most
advantageous to the Government, price and past performance being
considered. Past performance information may be based on the
Government\'s knowledge of, and previous experience with, the quoter, or
other reasonable basis.

\(b\) For the purpose of initial evaluation of quotations, the following
procedures will be utilized in resolving arithmetic discrepancies found
on the face of the schedule as submitted by quoters:

\(i\) In case of discrepancy between unit price and extended price, the
unit price will govern;

\(ii\) Obviously misplaced decimal points will be corrected;

\(iii\) Apparent errors in extension of unit prices will be corrected;
and

\(iv\) Apparent errors in addition of lump-sum and extended prices will
be corrected.

\(c\) The Government reserves the right to award without discussions as
well as the right to hold discussions. If discussions are held, they
will be held with all quoters if the Government makes a major change in
specifications or terms and conditions. Discussions may be conducted
with the firm submitting the lowest priced quotation if price only is
discussed.
