A key requirement mandates that the Contractor self-perform at least 30% of the total contract work using its own workforce, excluding specialty items, and must maintain a competent superintendent on-site with full authority over operations. The contract enforces strict compliance with federal domestic sourcing requirements under the Build America, Buy America Act and CFR Title 23 Part 635.410, necessitating certification of U.S. origin for all iron, steel, and manufactured products, including protective coatings applied in the United States. All shipments must include accompanying documentation such as bills of lading and compliance certifications. DBE participation is mandatory under 49 CFR Part 26, requiring maximum feasible participation by Disadvantaged Business Enterprises, with preconstruction identification, 24-hour notification prior to DBE work commencement, mandatory subcontract submissions for agreements over $10,000, and monthly prompt payment certifications through AASHTOWare Project CRL. Contractors must also ensure all workers are legally authorized under Tennessee law, maintain certified payrolls and records for three years post-completion, and submit annual EEO workforce data via Form FHWA-1391. Subcontracts cannot be awarded without prior written consent. Proposal submissions must include unit pricing for all bid items and incorporate all referenced contract documents accessible via the TDOT Bid Express website; failure to submit unit prices will result in rejection. No formal contract value, CLIN structure, evaluation factors, or specific payment office details are provided, and no FAR clausulation is present, as the agreement is governed by state-specific provisions
