2025 FEDERAL OVERLAY, BROADWAY – CALIFORNIA ST TO 18TH ST SPECIAL PROVISIONS <br />FEDERAL AID# STBGUL-2715(012); COE PW# 3841 SP-22 May 6, 2025 <br /> <br />construction materials as defined above, combined with a material that is not listed 1 <br />through a manufacturing process. 2 <br /> 3 <br /> If a product is not an Iron or Steel Product, a Construction Material, or an Excluded 4 <br />Material, it is a Manufactured Product. 5 <br /> 6 <br />5. United States: To further define the coverage, a domestic product is a manufactured 7 <br />steel construction material that was produced in one of the 50 states, the District of 8 <br />Columbia, Puerto Rico, or in the territories and possessions of the United States. 9 <br /> 10 <br />Iron or Steel Product Requirements 11 <br />Iron or Steel Products that are permanently incorporated into the project shall consist of 12 <br />American-made materials only. Buy America requirements do not apply to temporary steel 13 <br />or iron items, e.g., temporary sheet piling, temporary bridges, steel scaffolding and 14 <br />falsework. 15 <br /> 16 <br />Minor amounts of foreign steel and iron may be utilized in this project provided the cost 17 <br />of the foreign material used does not exceed one-tenth of one percent of the total contract 18 <br />cost or $2,500.00, whichever is greater. 19 <br /> 20 <br />American-made material is defined as material having all manufacturing processes 21 <br />occurring domestically. 22 <br /> 23 <br />If domestically produced steel billets or iron ingots are exported outside of the United 24 <br />States, as defined above, for any manufacturing process then the resulting product does 25 <br />not conform to the Buy America requirements. Additionally, products manufactured 26 <br />domestically from foreign source steel billets or iron ingots do not conform to the Buy 27 <br />America requirements because the initial melting and mixing of alloys to create the 28 <br />material occurred in a foreign country. 29 <br /> 30 <br />Manufacturing begins with the initial melting and mixing and continues through the coating 31 <br />stage. Any process which modifies the chemical content, the physical size or shape, or 32 <br />the final finish is considered a manufacturing process. The processes include rolling, 33 <br />extruding, machining, bending, grinding, drilling, welding, and coating. The action of 34 <br />applying a coating to steel or iron is deemed a manufacturing process. Coating includes 35 <br />epoxy coating, galvanizing, aluminizing, painting, and any other coating that protects or 36 <br />enhances the value of steel or iron. Any process from the original reduction from ore to 37 <br />the finished product constitutes a manufacturing process for iron. 38 <br /> 39 <br />Due to a nationwide waiver, Buy America requirements do not apply to raw materials (iron 40 <br />ore and alloys), scrap (recycled steel or iron), and pig iron ore processed, pelletized, and 41 <br />reduced iron ore. 42 <br /> 43 <br />The following are considered to be steel manufacturing processes: 44 <br /> 45 <br />1. Production of steel by any of the following processes: 46 <br /> 47 <br />a. Open hearth furnace. 48 <br /> 49 <br />b. Basic oxygen. 50 <br /> 51 <br />c. Electric furnace. 52
