WITH: 2.02 BUILD AMERICA, BUY AMERICA (BABA) CLAUSES
A. The Contractor acknowledges, to and for the benefit of the District ("Owner") and its
funder(s), as required by Section 70911 and 70914 of the Bipartisan Infrastructure
Law, P.L. Public 117-58, effective October 23, 2023, and thereafter, all
infrastructure expenses must comply with domestic content procurement
preferences established in the Build America, Buy America (BABA), which are in
addition to the Iron and Steel requirement. Specifically, unless the District has
requested and obtained a waiver from the funding source or the funding source has
advised the District in writing that the BABA requirements do not apply to the
Project, the District requires that:
1. all iron and steel used in the Project are produced in the United States;
2. the manufactured products used in the Project are produced in the
United States; and
3. the construction materials used in the Project are produced in the United
States.
B. Buy America Preference. Recipients of an award of Federal financial assistance
from a program for infrastructure are hereby notified that none of the funds provided
under this award may be used for an infrastructure project unless:
1. All iron and steel used in the project are produced in the United States—
this means all manufacturing processes, from the initial melting stage
through the application of coatings, occurred in the United States;
2. All manufactured products used in the project are produced in the United
States—this means the manufactured product was manufactured in the
United States; and the cost of the components of the manufactured
product that are mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States
is greater than 55 percent of the total cost of all components of the
manufactured product, unless another standard that meets or exceeds
this standard has been established under applicable law or regulation for
determining the minimum amount of domestic content of the
manufactured product; and
3. All construction materials are manufactured in the United States—this
means that all manufacturing processes for the construction material
occurred in the United States. The construction material standards are
listed below.
C. Incorporation into an infrastructure project. The Buy America Preference only
applies to articles, materials, and supplies that are consumed in, incorporated into,
or affixed to an infrastructure project. As such, it does not apply to tools, equipment,
and supplies, such as temporary scaffolding, brought to the construction site and
removed at or before the completion of the infrastructure project. Nor does a Buy
America Preference apply to equipment and furnishings, such as movable chairs,
desks, and portable computer equipment, that are used at or within the finished
infrastructure project, but are not an integral part of the structure or permanently
affixed to the infrastructure project.
D. Categorization of articles, materials, and supplies. An article, material, or supply
should only be classified into one of the following categories:
APRIL 2026 ADDENDUM 1
2026 WATER METER INSTALLATION PROJECT
4
1. Iron or steel products;
2. Manufactured products;
3. Construction materials; or
4. Section 70917(c) materials.
An article, material, or supply should not be considered to fall into multiple
categories. In some cases, an article, material, or supply may not fall under any of
the categories listed in this paragraph. The classification of an article, material, or
supply as falling into one of the categories listed in this paragraph must be made
based on its status at the time it is brought to the work site for incorporation into an
infrastructure project. In general, the work site is the location of the infrastructure
project at which the iron, steel, manufactured products, and construction materials
will be incorporated.
E. Application of the Buy America Preference by category. An article, material, or
supply incorporated into an infrastructure project must meet the Buy America
Preference for only the single category in which it is classified.
F. Determining the cost of components for manufactured products. In determining
whether the cost of components for manufactured products is greater than 55
percent of the total cost of all components, use the following instructions:
1. For components purchased by the manufacturer, the acquisition cost,
including transportation costs to the place of incorporation into the
manufactured product (whether or not such costs are paid to a domestic
firm), and any applicable duty (whether or not a duty-free entry certificate
is issued); or
2. For components manufactured by the manufacturer, all costs associated
with the manufacture of the component, including transportation costs as
described in paragraph (a), plus allocable overhead costs, but excluding
profit. Cost of components does not include any costs associated with
the manufacture of the manufactured product.
G. Construction material standards. The Buy America Preference applies to the
following construction materials incorporated into infrastructure projects. Each
construction material is followed by a standard for the material to be considered
"produced in the United States." Except as specifically provided, only a single
standard should be applied to a single construction material.
1. Non-ferrous metals. All manufacturing processes, from initial smelting or
melting through final shaping, coating, and assembly, occurred in the
United States.
2. Plastic and polymer-based products. All manufacturing processes, from
initial combination of constituent plastic or polymer-based inputs, or,
where applicable, constituent composite materials, until the item is in its
final form, occurred in the United States.
3. Glass. All manufacturing processes, from initial batching and melting of
raw materials through annealing, cooling, and cutting, occurred in the
United States.
4. Fiber optic cable (including drop cable). All manufacturing processes,
from the initial ribboning (if applicable), through buffering, fiber stranding
and jacketing, occurred in the United States. All manufacturing
processes also include the standards for glass and optical fiber, but not
APRIL 2026 ADDENDUM 1

5
for non-ferrous metals, plastic and polymer-based products, or any
others.
5. Optical fiber. All manufacturing processes, from the initial preform
fabrication stage through the completion of the draw, occurred in the
United States.
6. Lumber. All manufacturing processes, from initial debarking through
treatment and planning, occurred in the United States.
7. Drywall. All manufacturing processes, from initial blending of mined or
synthetic gypsum plaster and additives through cutting and drying of
sandwiched panels, occurred in the United States.
8. Engineered wood. All manufacturing processes from the initial
combination of constituent materials until the wood product is in its final
form, occurred in the United States.
H. For questions regarding the Build America, Buy America Act requirements for this
Project, please contact South Tahoe Public Utility District.
I. The Contractor will provide any further verified information, certification or
assurance of compliance with this paragraph, or information necessary to support a
waiver of the Build America, Buy America Requirements, as may be requested by
the Owner or the Funding Authority. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, any failure to comply with this paragraph by the Contractor shall permit
the Owner or Funding Authority to recover as damages against the Contractor any
loss, expense, or cost (including without limitation attorney's fees) incurred by the
Owner or Funding Authority resulting from any such failure (including without
limitation any impairment or loss of funding, whether in whole or in part, from the
Funding Authority or any damages owed to the Funding Authority by the Owner). If
the Contractor has no direct contractual privity with the Funding Authority, as a
lender or awardee to the Owner for the funding of its project, the Owner and the
Contractor agree that the Funding Authority is a third-party beneficiary and neither
this paragraph (nor any other provision of this Agreement necessary to give this
paragraph force or effect) shall be amended or waived without the prior written
consent of the Funding Authority.
J. By signing payment application and recommending payment, Contractor certifies
