The bidder shall make good faith efforts, as defined in Appendix A of 49 CFR Part 26, Regulations

of the Office of the Secretary of Transportation, to subcontract 1.00 % of the dollar value of the prime

contract to small business concerns owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged

non-responsive. Those firms currently certified as DBE's by the Idaho Department of Transportation

are eligible to participate as DBE's on this contract. A list of these firms can be obtained from the

State, the consulting engineer, or the Sponsor.

FAA Buy American Preference

The Contractor certifies that its bid/offer is in compliance with 49 USC § 50101, BABA and other

related Made in America Laws, U.S. statutes, guidance, and FAA policies, which provide that Federal

funds may not be obligated unless all iron, steel and manufactured goods used in AIP funded projects

are produced in the United States, unless the Federal Aviation Administration has issued a waiver for

the product; the product is listed as an Excepted Article, Material Or Supply in Federal Acquisition

Regulation subpart 25.108; or is included in the FAA Nationwide Buy American Waivers Issued list.

The bidder or offeror must complete and submit the certification of compliance with FAA’s Buy

American Preference, BABA and Made in America laws included herein with their bid or offer. The

Airport Sponsor/Owner will reject as nonresponsive any bid or offer that does not include a

completed certification of compliance with FAA’s Buy American Preference and BABA.

The bidder or offeror certifies that all constructions materials, defined to mean an article, material, or

supply other than an item of primarily iron or steel; a manufactured product; cement and cementitious

materials; aggregates such as stone, sand, or gravel; or aggregate binding agents or additives that are

or consist primarily of: non-ferrous metals; plastic and polymer-based products (including

polyvinylchloride, composite building materials, and polymers used in fiber optic cables); glass

(including optic glass); lumber; or drywall used in the project are manufactured in the U.S.

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: 4.0%

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 nonfederally involved

construction.

The Contractor’s compliance with the Executive Order and the regulations in 41 CFR Part 60-4 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 60-4. 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

Idaho, Teton County, Driggs.

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.
