Federal Highway Administration Provision -Buy America
Source of Supply -Steel (Federal-Aid Contracts Only): For Federal-aid Contracts, only use steel and iron
produced in the United States, in accordance with the Buy America provisions of 23 CFR 635.410, as amended.
Ensure that all manufacturing processes for this material occur in the United States. As used in this specification, a
manufacturing process is any process that modifies the chemical content, physical shape or size, or final finish of a
product, beginning with the initial melding and mixing and continuing through the bending and coating stages. A
manufactured steel or iron product is complete only when all grinding, drilling, welding, finishing and coating have
been completed. If a domestic product is taken outside the United States for any process, it becomes foreign source
material. When using steel and iron as a component of any manufac±ured product incorporated into the project (e.g.,
concrete pipe, prestressed beams, corrugated steel pipe, etc.), these same provisions apply, except that the
manufacturer may use minimal quantities of foreign steel and iron when the cost of such foreign materials does not
exceed 0.1% of the total Contract amount or $2,500, whichever is greater. These requirements are applicable to all
steel and iron materials incorporated into the finished work, but are not appiicable to steel and iron items that the
Contractor uses but does not incorporate into the finished work. Provide a certification from the producer of steel or
iron, or any product containing steel or iron as a component, stating that all steel or iron furnished or incorporated into
the furnished product was manufactured in the United States in accordance with the requirements of this specification
and the Buy America provisions of 23 CFR 635.410, as amended. Such certification shall also include (1) a statement
that the product was produced entirely within the United States, or (2) a statement that the product was produced
within the United States except for minimal quantities of foreign steel and iron valued at $
Furnish each such certification to the Engineer prior to incorporating the material into the project. When FHWA allows
the use of foreign steel on a project, furnish invoices to document the cost of such material, and obtain the Engineer's
written approval prior to incorporating the material into the project.

the Secretary of Labor as modified by the provisions prescribed herein, and imposed
pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 140 shall constitute the EEO and specific affirmative action standards
for the contractor's project activities under this contract. The Equal Opportunity Construction
Contract Specifications set forth under 41 CFR 60-4.3 and the provisions of the American
Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 12101 et seg.) set forth under 28 CFR 35 and 29 CFR

an EEO Officer who will have the responsibility for and must be capable of effectively
administering and promoting an active contractor program of EEO and who must be assigned
adequate authority and responsibility to do so.
Dissemination of Policy: All members of the contractor's staff who are authorized to hire,
supervise, promote, and discharge employees, or ~vho recommend such action, or who are
substantially involved in such action, will be made fully cognizant of, and will implement, the

classification of employment. To ensure that the above agreement will be met, the following
actions will be taken as a minimum:
a. Periodic meetings of supervisory and personnel office employees will be conducted
before the start of work and then not less often than once every six months, at which
time the contractor's EEO policy and its implementation will be reviewed and
explained. The meetings will be conducted by the EEO Officer.
b. All new supervisory or personnel office employees will be given a thorough
indoctrination by the EEO Officer, ccverng ali major aspects of the contractor's EEO
obligations within thirty days following their reporting for duty with the contractor.

sources likely to yield qualified minority group applicants. To meet this requirement,
the contractor will identify sources of potential minority group employees, and
establish with such identified sources procedures whereby minority group applicants
may be referred to the contractor for employment consideration.
b. In the event the contractor has a vaLd bargaining agreement providing for exclusive
hiring hall referrals, he is expected to observe the provisions of that agreement to the
extent that the system permits the contractor's compliance with EEO contract
provisions. (The DOL has held that where implementation of such agreements have
the effect of discriminating against minorities or women, or obligates the contractor to
do the same, such implementation violates Executive Order 11246, as amended.)
c. The contractor will encourage his present employees to refer minority group
applicants for employment. Information and procedures with regard to referring
minority group applicants will be discussed with employees.

to the contractor in connection with his obligations under this contract, will attempt to
resolve such complaints, and will take appropriate corrective action within a
reasonable time. If the investigation indicates that the discrimination may affect

persons. Upon completion of each im~~estigation, the contractor will inform every
complainant of all of his avenues of appeal.
Training and Promotion:
a The contractor will assist in locating, qualifying, and increasing the skills of minority
group and women employees, and applicants for employment.

i.e., apprenticeship, and on-the-job training programs for the geographical area of
contract performance. ~~Nhere feasible, 25 percent of apprentices cr trainees in each
occupation shall be in their firs; year of apprenticeship or training. In the event a
special provision for training is provided under this contract, this subparagraph will be
superseded as indicated in the special provision.
c. The contractor will advise employees and applicants for employment of available
training programs and entrance requirements for each.
d. The contractor will periodically review the training and promotion potential of minority
group and women employees and will encourage eligible employees to apply for
such training and promotion.

contractor will use his/her best efforts to obtain the cooperation of such unions to increase
opportunities for minority groups and women within the unions, and to effect referrals by such
unions of minority and female employees. Actions by the contractor either directly or through
a contractor's association acting as agent will include the procedures set forth below:
a. The contractor will use best efforts to develop, in cooperation with the unions, joint
training programs aimed toward qualifying more minority group members and women

b. The contractor will use best efforts to incorporate an EEO clause into each union
agreement to the end that such union wiil be contractually bound to refer applicants
without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age or disability.
c. The contractor is to ob±ain information as to the referral practices and policies of the
labor union except that to the extent such information is within the exclusive
possession of the labor union and such labor union refuses to furnish such
information to the contractor, the contractor shall so certify to the SHA and shall set
forth what efforts have been made to obtain such information.
d. In the event the union is unable to provide the contractor with a reasonable flow of
minority and women referrals within the time limit set forth in the collective bargaining
agreement, the contractor will, through independent recruitment efforts, fill the
employment vacancies without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age
or disability; making full efforts to obtain qualified and/or qualifiable minority group
persons and women. (The DOL has held that it shall be no excuse that the union with
which the contractor has a collective bargaining agreement providing for exclusive
referral failed to refer minority employees.) In the event the union referral practice
prevents the contractor from meeting the obligations pursuant to Executive Order
11246, as amended, and these special provisions, such contractor shall immediately
notify the SHA.
