unless the Engineer notifies the Contractor that inspection or testing of a material to be
incorporated in the Work will be made at the place of production, manufacture, or shipment
(“off-site”) of such material.
1. To the extent specified in the Engineer’s notification to the Contractor of off -site
inspection or testing, such inspection or test shall be conclusive as to whether the material
involved conforms to Contract requirements.
2. Such off -site inspection or test shall not relieve the Contractor of responsibility for
damage to, or loss of, the material prior to incorporation into the Work, nor in any way
affect the rights of the District under the terms of this Article, except as herein above
provided.
B. The District will endeavor to perform such inspections and testing in such manner as not
unnecessarily to delay the Work. Special, full size, and performance tests shall be performed
as described in the Contract.
C. The Contractor shall furnish promptly, without additional cost to the District, all facilities,
labor, equipment and material, including access and traffic control devices, needed for
performing safe and convenient inspection and testing in accordance with subparagraph A
and D of this clause. If off-site material and workmanship are not ready for inspection at the
time specified by the District, the Contractor shall be responsible for any additional cost of
tests and inspection.
D. When a unit of government other than the District, a utility company, or a railroad has an
interest in or is affected by the Contract, its respective representatives shall have the right to
inspect such portion of the Work. Such inspection shall not make any government unit, utility
company, or railroad a party to the Contract nor interfere with the rights of the District or the
Contractor.
E. The Contractor shall, at its own expense, replace any material and correct any workmanship
determined by the District not to conform to the Contract requirements, as directed by the
District. If, however, the District determines that acceptance of such work is in the public

DCKA-2024-C-0073
DC Power Line Underground (Feeder 14702/118)
Page 17 of 60
F. Failure of the District to inspect or reject workmanship or material shall not in any way imply
acceptance, nor prevent the District from later rejecting the work. Inspection and acceptance
by the District in no way relieves the Contractor of its responsibility to meet the requirements
of the Contract Documents.
G. If the Contractor does not promptly replace rejected material or correct rejected
workmanship, the District:
1. May, by Contract or otherwise, replace such material and correct such workmanship and
charge the cost thereof to the Contractor, or
2. May terminate the Contractor’s Right to Proceed in accordance with Standard

defective or nonconforming, in any material respect, due to the fault of the Contractor or its
Subcontractors, the Contractor shall be responsible for the expenses of such removal and
tearing out of the work, examination, and of satisfactory reconstruction of the work. If,
however, such work is found to meet the requirements of the Contract, the District will make
an equitable adjustment in the Contract Price to compensate the Contractor for the additional
services involved in such removal or tearing out of such work, examination and
reconstruction. If completion of the Work has been delayed thereby, the District will, in
addition, make an equitable extension of time.

A. PARTIAL ACCEPTANCE - When the Contractor completes a suitable unit or portion of the
Project, the Engineer may make, or the Contractor may request, final inspection of that unit.
If the Engineer determines that such unit or portion is complete and meets Contract
requirements, he or she may accept in writing that unit or portion as complete, which written
acceptance shall include a description of specific work accepted, and the Contractor may be
relieved of further responsibility for the accepted unit or portion subject to the requirements
of the Contract. Such partial acceptance shall not void or alter any Contract provision.
B. FINAL INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE

H.14 BUY AMERICA REQUIREMENTS
This clause supersedes Standard Specifications Section 103.01, Article 24, “Buy American.”
In accordance with OMB Memo M -22-11, dated April 18, 2022, and the Build America Buy
America Act, Pub. L. No. 117 -58 §§ 70901-52 (the “Act”), bidders are hereby notified that none
of the funds provided under the resultant award may be used for a project for infrastructure
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 for determining the
minimum amount of domestic content of the manufactured product has been
established under applicable law or regulation; and
(3) all construction materials are manufactured in the United States —this means that all
DCKA-2024-C-0073
DC Power Line Underground (Feeder 14702/118)
Page 35 of 60
manufacturing processes for the construction material occurred in the United States.
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.
For purposes of this section, an article, material, or supply should only be classified into one of
the following categories:
(1) iron or steel,
(2) a manufactured product, or
(3) a construction material.
For ease of administration, an article, material, or supply should not be considered to fall into
multiple categories. The iron and steel test should be applied to items that are predominantly
iron or steel, unless another standard applies under law or regulation. When necessary, waivers
from these requirements may be available from FHWA.
When FHWA has made a determination that one of the following exceptions applies, then the
application of the domestic content procurement preference may be waived in any case in which
FHWA determines that:
(1) applying the domestic content procurement preference would be inconsistent with the
public interest;
(2) the types of iron, steel, manufactured products, or construction materials are not
produced in the United States in sufficient and reasonably available quantities or of a
satisfactory quality; or
(3) the inclusion of iron, steel, manufactured products, or construction materials produced in
the United States will increase the cost of the overall project by more than 25 percent.
Waiver requests are subject to public comment periods of no less than 15 days, except in
unforeseen and exigent circumstances, and must be approved by FHWA and reviewed by the Made
in America Office. There may be instances where an award qualifies, in whole or in part, for an
existing waiver.
Definitions:
“Construction Materials” includes 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 is or consists primarily of:
1. non-ferrous metals;
2. plastic and polymer -based products (including polyvinylchloride, composite building
