The bidding and award of this Contract will be under the provisions of M.G.L. Chapter 149, Section 44A
- 44J.
The Owner reserves the right to waive any informality in or to reject any or all Bids if deemed to be in its
best interest.
The work under this Contract is funded in part by the Massachusetts Clean Water Trust (the "Trust")
through a Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) loan. Prospective contractors shall be aware
and comply with all requirements of receiving monies from the "Trust".
This Project requires compliance with the Department of Environmental Protection's (DEP) Diesel
Retrofit Program by use of after-engine emission controls that are EPA certified, or their equivalent, on
all of the off-road (non-registered) diesel vehicles/equipment, and vehicles greater than 50 brake
horsepower, which will be used in the performance of the work.
The Bidder acknowledges to and for the benefit of the Owner and the State of Massachusetts ("State")
that it understands the goods and services under this Agreement are being funded with monies made
available by the Clean Water State Revolving Fund that have statutory requirements commonly known as
the "American Iron and Steel"; that requires all of the iron and steel products used in the project to be
produced in the United States ("American Iron and Steel Requirement") including iron and steel products
provided by the Contractor pursuant to the Agreement. The Contractor hereby represents and warrants to
and for the benefit of the Owner and State that (a) the Contractor has reviewed and understands the
American Iron and Steel Requirements, (b) all of the iron and steel products used in the project will be
and/or have been produced in the United States in a manner that complies with the American Iron and
Steel Requirements, unless a waiver of the requirement is approved, and (c) 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 American Iron and Steel Requirement, as may be
requested by the Owner or the State. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, any failure
to comply with this paragraph by the Contractor shall permit the Owner or State to recover as damages
against the Contractor any loss, expense, or cost (including without limitation attorney's fees) incurred by
the Owner or the State resulting from any such failure (including without limitation any impairment or
loss of funding, whether in whole or in part, from the State or any damages owed to the State by the
Owner). While the Contractor has no direct contractual privity with the State, as a lender to the Owner for
the funding of its project, the Owner and the Contractor agree that the State 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 State.
As previously stated, it is the Contractor's responsibility along with the manufacturer of materials to
document where the pieces of each item are manufactured. All manufactured goods and their components,
including but not limited to pipe, hydrants, valves, tapping sleeves, fittings, mechanical joints, etc. shall
be made in the United States. As part of the shop drawing review process, a signed letter from an

made. If the manufactured good does not meet the American Iron and Steel provision, it will not be
accepted, unless a waiver is approved.
