106-1-fy23 | Revisions to 106.11, Buy America - With the passage of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act last November, there are some necessary (required) changes that need to be made to our Buy America requirements (FMM, Specs, and Construction Manual). We are required to have these changes ready to go by November 10th of this year. In short, Buy America will no longer just focus on Steel and Iron, but will have to also incorporate other construction materials as well. Those construction materials are to include articles, materials, or supplies that consist primarily of: • non-ferrous metals • plastic and polymer based products • glass • lumber • drywall These additional requirements are outlined in a memo (M-22-11) provided by the Federal OMB that was issued to Federal Agencies in April. We have been waiting for additional guidance from FHWA regarding implementation and needed changes, but they have now deferred to the memo and are asking States to develop their own protocols for compliance that they can then consult with us on. |
