If the Grantee is a nongovernmental entity, the Grantee must provide the Department with an affidavit signed by an officer or a representative of the Grantee under penalty of perjury attesting that the Grantee does not use coercion for labor or services as defined in section 787.06, F.S. 43. Iron and Steel for Public Works Projects. If this Agreement funds a "public works project" as defined in section 255.0993, F.S., or the purchase of materials to be used in a public works project, any iron or steel permanently incorporated in the Project must be "produced in the United States," as defined in section 255.0993, F.S. This requirement does not apply if the Department determines that any of the following circumstances apply to the Project: (1) iron or steel products produced in the United States are not produced in sufficient quantities, reasonably available, or of satisfactory quality; (2) the use of iron or steel products produced in the United States will increase the total cost of the project by more than twenty percent (20%); or (3) complying with this requirement is inconsistent with the public interest. Further, this requirement does not prevent the Contractor's minimal use of foreign steel and iron materials if: (1) such materials are incidental or ancillary to the primary product and are not separately identified in the project specifications; and (2) the "cost" of such materials, as defined in section 25 5.0993, F.S., does not exceed one-tenth of one percent (1%) of the total Project Cost under this Agreement or $2,500, whichever is greater. Electrical components, equipment, systems, and appurtenances, including supports, covers, shielding, and other appurtenances related to an electrical system that are necessary for operation or concealment (excepting transmission and distribution poles) are not considered to be iron or steel products and are, therefore, exempt from the requirements of this paragraph. This provision shall be applied in a manner consistent with and may not be construed to impair the state's obligations under any international agreement. 44. Complete and Accurate information. Grantee represents and warrants that all statements and information provided to DEP are current, complete, and accurate. This includes all statements and information in this Grant, as well as its Attachments and Exhibits. 45. Execution in Counterparts and Authority to Sign. This Agreement, any amendments, and/or change orders related to the Agreement, may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which shall constitute the same instrument. In accordance with the Electronic Signature Act of 1996, electronic signatures, including facsimile transmissions, may be used and shall have the same force and effect as a written signature. Each person signing this Agreement warrants that he or she is duly authorized to do so and to bind the respective party to the Agreement. Attachment 1 14 of 14 Rev. 9/10/2024
