relating to federal financial assistance awards or federal procurement, including those that refer
to 'Buy America' or 'Buy American,' that require, or provide a preference for, the purchase or
acquisition of goods, products, or materials produced in the United States, including iron, steel,
and manufactured products offered in the United States.
Trade Restriction Certification. By submission of an offer, the Offeror certifies that with
respect to this solicitation and any resultant contract, the Offeror -
1) is not owned or controlled by one or more citizens of a foreign country included in the list
of countries that discriminate against U.S. firms as published by the Office of the United States
Trade Representative (USTR);
2) has not knowingly entered into any contract or subcontract for this project with a person that
is a citizen or national of a foreign country included on the list of countries
that discriminate against U.S. firms as published by the USTR; and
3) has not entered into any subcontract for any product to be used on the Federal project that is
produced in a foreign country included on the list of countries that discriminate against
U.S. firms published by the USTR.
This certification concerns a matter within the jurisdiction of an agency of the United States of
America and the making of a false, fictitious, or fraudulent certification may render the maker
subject to prosecution under Title 18 USC § 1001.
The Offeror/Contractor must provide immediate written notice to the Owner if
the Offeror/Contractor learns that its certification or that of a subcontractor was
erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances. The
Contractor must require subcontractors provide immediate written notice to the Contractor if at any
time it learns that its certification was erroneous by reason of changed circumstances.
Unless the restrictions of this clause are waived by the Secretary of Transportation in accordance
with 49 CFR § 30.17, no contract shall be awarded to an Offeror or subcontractor:
1) who is owned or controlled by one or more citizens or nationals of a foreign
country included on the list of countries that discriminate against U.S. firms published
by the USTR; or
2) whose subcontractors are owned or controlled by one or more citizens or nationals of a foreign
country on such USTR list; or
3) who incorporates in the public works project any product of a foreign country on such USTR
list.
Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a
system of records in order to render, in good faith, the certification required by
this provision. The
knowledge and information of a contractor is not required to exceed that which is
normally
possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings.
The Offeror agrees that, if awarded a contract resulting from this solicitation, it will
incorporate this provision for certification without modification in all lower tier subcontracts.
The Contractor may rely on the certification of a prospective subcontractor that it is not a firm
from a foreign country included on the list of countries that discriminate against U.S. firms as
published by USTR, unless the Offeror has knowledge that the certification is erroneous.
This certification is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when making
an award. If it is later determined that the Contractor or subcontractor knowingly rendered an
erroneous certification, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) may direct through the Owner
cancellation of the contract or subcontract for default at no cost to the Owner or the FAA.
Notice Of The Requirement For Affirmative Action To Ensure Equal Employment Opportunity.
1. The Offeror's or Bidder's attention is called to the 'Equal Opportunity Clause' and the
'Standard Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Construction Contract Specifications' set forth
herein.
2. The goals and timetables 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:
Timetables:
Goals for minority participation for each trade: 12.6%% Goals for female participation in each
trade: 6.9%
These goals are applicable to all of the Contractor's construction work (whether or not it is
Federal or federally assisted) performed in the covered area. If the Contractor
performs construction work in a geographical area located outside of the covered area, it shall
apply the goals established for such geographical area where the work is actually
performed. With regard to this second area, the Contractor also is subject to the goals for both
its federally involved and non-federally involved construction.
The Contractor's compliance with the Executive Order and the regulations in 41 CFR Part 604 shall
be based on its implementation of the Equal Opportunity Clause, specific affirmative action
obligations required by the specifications set forth in 41 CFR 60-4.3(a) and 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 in each trade, and
the Contractor shall make a good faith effort to employ 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, the Executive Order and the regulations in 41 CFR Part
604. Compliance with the goals will be measured against the total work hours performed.
3. The Contractor shall provide written notification to the Director of the Office of
Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) within 10 working days of award of any construction
subcontract in excess of $10,000 at any tier for construction work under the contract resulting
from this solicitation. The notification shall list the name, address, and telephone number of the
subcontractor; employer identification number of the subcontractor; estimated dollar
amount of the subcontract; estimated starting and completion dates of the subcontract; and the
geographical area in which the subcontract is to be performed.
4. As used in this notice and in the contract resulting from this solicitation, the 'covered
area' is Utah, Washington, City of St. George.
Federal Fair Labor Standards Act (Federal Minimum Wage)
All contracts and subcontracts that result from this solicitation incorporate by
reference the provisions of 29 CFR part 201, et seq, the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA),
with the same force and effect as if given in full text. The FLSA sets minimum wage,
overtime pay, recordkeeping, and child labor standards for full and part-time workers.
The Contractor has full responsibility to monitor compliance to the referenced statute or
regulation. The Contractor must address any claims or disputes that arise from this requirement
directly with the U.S. Department of Labor - Wage and Hour Division.
