106-1 MATERIALS AND MANUFACTURING
(A) General Requirements
The Contractor shall furnish materials that conform to all contract requirements, are suitable
for their intended use, and are free from defects. All materials used in the work shall meet the
requirements of the contract and shall be subject to inspection, test, or rejection by the
Engineer. All materials permanently incorporated into the completed work shall be new,
unless otherwise specified in the contract or as approved by the Engineer.

PR35401 G-3 Division-Wide
The Contractor is responsible for selecting, procuring, and delivering materials of the types
and quantities necessary to perform the work and meet contract requirements. Delays in
material delivery or quality control do not relieve the Contractor of obligations for schedule
or quality.
All materials incorporated into the work shall be approved before use. Approval is based on
testing, certification, or both, as required by the contract. Department review or acceptance
does not relieve the Contractor of responsibility for material compliance. The Department
may inspect, sample, and test materials at any time before, during, or after installation.
Materials shall be handled, stored, and protected to prevent damage, contamination, or
deterioration. Materials determined to be defective, damaged, contaminated, or otherwise not
in compliance shall be rejected and promptly removed from the project.
To facilitate inspection and testing, the Contractor shall furnish a complete statement of
origin for all materials, including certifications or samples when requested. This information
shall be submitted to the Materials and Tests Unit when required by the contract or as
directed by the Engineer, in advance of fabrication, shipment, or use to allow for appropriate
inspection.
The Contractor shall furnish Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for all paints and hazardous chemicals
proposed for use on the project, in accordance with the North Carolina Hazard
Communication Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1200 and NCGS 95-174.
The Contractor shall provide access, equipment, means and assistance for the verification and
calibration of any devices used in testing, measurement, or documentation of materials.
If the Contractor proposes to use materials from local deposits not identified in the contract,
the Contractor shall be responsible for preliminary sampling, source approval, and
production of acceptable material. Preliminary samples shall be furnished at no cost to the
Department. If requested in writing, the Department may perform sampling, with costs to be
charged to the Contractor as determined by the Engineer.
Sampling or testing by the Department does not constitute pre-approval or acceptance of
material. The Contractor remains responsible for ensuring quality and uniformity of all
materials produced or delivered, including those from local deposits. The Contractor shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Department from any claims, costs, or damages related to
the development or use of such sources, including, but not limited to, failure to meet quantity
or quality requirements.
Materials covered by Subarticles 106-1(B) and 106-1(C) shall comply with applicable
domestic content requirements, including those for iron and steel, construction materials, and
manufactured products.
(B) Domestic Material Requirements
Domestic material requirements apply to iron and steel products permanently incorporated
into any project in accordance with 23 U.S.C. 313, 23 CFR 635.410, and NCGS 136-
28.7. Construction materials and manufactured products permanently incorporated into the

PR35401 G-4 Division-Wide
work are subject to domestic-content requirements only on Federal-aid projects, in
accordance with 23 U.S.C. 313, Build America Buy America Act (IIJA 70914), 2 CFR
184, and as implemented for the Federal-aid highway program through 23 CFR Part 635.410.
All iron or steel products, construction materials, and manufactured products subject to
domestic content requirements shall be of domestic origin and meet the applicable
requirements of the contract based on the project's funding source.
Before any materials are delivered to the project, the Contractor shall submit a notarized
letter acknowledging their understanding of the domestic material requirements for the
specific contract. This acknowledgment is a contract-level affirmation that the Contractor is
responsible for ensuring that no iron or steel product, construction material, or manufactured
product subject to domestic content requirements is permanently incorporated into the work
without the required certification. This acknowledgment does not substitute for product-level
certifications from the manufacturer or supplier. The Department reserves the right to deny or
recover payment for any material incorporated into the work without valid documentation.
For iron and steel, all manufacturing processes must occur in the United States.
For construction materials, all manufacturing processes must occur in the United States.
For manufactured products, final assembly must occur in the United States.
Before any iron or steel product, construction material, or manufactured product subject to
domestic content requirements is eligible for payment, the Contractor shall submit a
certification from the manufacturer or supplier confirming compliance with the applicable
regulations. A separate certification is required for each shipment or delivery and must
clearly identify the items covered, linked to the associated bill of lading, invoice, or packing
list.
The Contractor shall ensure that all required certifications from the manufacturer or supplier
are obtained and submitted to the Engineer prior to payment for any iron or steel product,
construction material, or manufactured product subject to domestic content requirements.
The Engineer will retain documentation in accordance with Department procedures.
Compliance with domestic material requirements is the responsibility of the Contractor,
based on certifications and documentation provided by the manufacturer or supplier.
(C) Material Category Requirements
(1) Iron and Steel Products
Items are considered iron or steel products if they consist wholly or predominantly of iron
or steel. Predominantly means the cost of iron or steel components exceeds 50% of the
total cost of all product components.
All steel and iron products that are permanently incorporated into the work shall be
produced in the United States. This includes any such item that is melted, cast, rolled,
formed, shaped, drawn, extruded, forged, fabricated, finished or otherwise processed in
the manufacture of the product. Coatings applied to iron and steel products shall also be
applied in the United States.
