Each bridge must include traceable documentation such as Mill Certificates or Heat Numbers and a Certificate of Conformance per FAR 52.246-15, ensuring material compliance with AWPA standards for preservative treatment and structural stress grades. The delivery milestone is set for August 6, 2026, with inspection and acceptance occurring at the site upon arrival. The contract mandates strict adherence to subcontracting requirements under FAR 52.219-9 with Alternates III and IV, and includes limitations on subcontracting per FAR 52.219-14 and the nonmanufacturer rule per FAR 52.219-33. Special requirements involve cybersecurity safeguards through clauses 52.240-92, 52.240-93, and 52.204-9, along with mandatory E-Verify enrollment and compliance with DEI prohibitions under AGAR 452.203-71 and FAR 52.222-90, where noncompliance could lead to termination or denial of payment. All invoices must be submitted electronically via the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP), and the Contracting Officer, Westley Bisson, and Contracting Officer’s Representative, Jonathan Wheeler, are the primary points of contact. Packaging and marking specifications are not explicitly defined but are presumed to meet FOB Destination standards, with traceability demands implying the need for durable labeling and material certification integrity throughout shipment.
