<br />24. Build America, Buy America Act (BABA) - Infrastructure Projects with Federal Funding.
<br />This provision does not apply to Agreements that are wholly funded by Coronavirus State and Local
<br />Fiscal Recovery Funds under the American Rescue Plan Act. Also, this provision does not apply where
<br />there is a valid waiver in place. However, the provision may apply to funds expended before the waiver
<br />or after expiration of the waiver.
<br />If applicable, Recipients or Subrecipients of an award of Federal financial assistance from a program for
<br />infrastructure are required to comply with the Build America, Buy America Act (BABA), including the
<br />following provisions:
<br />a. All iron and steel used in the project are produced in the United States --this means all manufacturing processes,
<br />from the initial melting stage through the application of coatings, occurred in the United States;
<br />b. All manufactured products used in the project are produced in the United States -this means the manufactured
<br />product was manufactured in the United States; and the cost of the components of the manufactured product
<br />that are mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States is greater than 55 percent of the total cost of all
<br />components of the manufactured product, unless another standard for determining the minimum amount of
<br />domestic content of the manufactured product has been established under applicable law or regulation; and
<br />c. All construction materials are manufactured in the United States -this means that all manufacturing processes for
<br />the construction material occurred in the United States.
<br />The Buy America preference only applies to articles, materials, and supplies that are consumed in, incorporated
<br />into, or affixed to an infrastructure project. As such, it does not apply to tools, equipment, and supplies, such as
<br />temporary scaffolding, brought to the construction site and removed at or before the completion of the
<br />infrastructure project. Nor does a Buy America preference apply to equipment and furnishings, such as movable
<br />chairs, desks, and portable computer equipment, that are used at or within the finished infrastructure project but
<br />are not an integral part of the structure or permanently affixed to the infrastructure project.
