CONTRACT GUIDANCE
1. Purpose of this Document
a) The purpose of this document is to establish a convenient resource for Sponsors that
consolidates Federal contract provisions and clauses into one document that includes an
applicability matrix. This document itself does not create, revise or delete requirements for
participation in the Airport Improvement Program (AIP) and Infrastructure Investment and Jobs
Act (WA) grant programs. The source of requirements addressed within this document are
identified within the section for each individual clause.
b) While this document is intended to assist Sponsors with their compliance efforts, it does not
alter or modify the terms of any applicable statute or regulation, is not a substitute for
reading the regulation and the applicability matrix, and each corresponding document section,
nor does it constitute legal advice.
c) Federal laws and regulations require that a Sponsor (a recipient of federal assistance) include
specific clauses in certain contracts, solicitations, or specifications regardless of whether or not
the project is federally funded.
d) For purposes of remaining compliant with its obligations, a Sponsor must incorporate applicable
contract provisions in all its procurements and contract documents. Unless otherwise stated,
these provisions flow down to subcontracts and sub -tier agreements.
e) Terminology:
i. The term "Sponsor" is used in this document to mean either an obligated Sponsor on a
project that is not federally funded, or a Sponsor on an AIP funded project. A Sponsor is
a "recipient" of federal assistance when receiving AIP or other FAA grant funds.
ii. The term "Owner" of a public use airport is generally used in the solicitation or contract
clauses because of its common use in public contracts. An Owner becomes an obligated
Sponsor upon acceptance of the AIP grant assurances associated with current or prior
AIP grant funded projects.
iii. For purposes of determining requirements for contract provisions, the term "contract"
includes professional services, and subcontracts and supplier contracts such as purchase
orders.
iv. The term "contractor" is understood to mean a contractor, subcontractor, or
consultant; and means one who participates, through a contract or subcontract (at any
tier).
v. The term "bid" is understood to mean a bid, an offer, or a proposal.
vi. The term "applicant" means a bidder, offeror, or proposer for a contract.
2. Sponsor Actions
In general, Sponsor's actions consistent with obligations:
Guidelines for Contract Provisions for Obligated Sponsors and Airport Improvement Program Projects
Issued on December 29, 2025 Page 4
Docusign Envelope ID: F4998526-DC7B-8C43-82FD-190AF255A93B
a) Include in its procurements the provisions that are applicable to its project.
b) Not incorporate the entire contract provisions guidelines in its solicitation or contract
documents, whether by reference or by inclusion in whole. Incorporation of this entire guidance
document creates potential for ambiguous interpretation and may lead to improper application
that unnecessarily increases price. A Sponsor that fails to properly incorporate applicable
contract clauses may place themselves at risk for audit findings or denial of Federal funding.
c) Incorporate applicable contract provisions using mandatory language as required. The
subheading entitled Applicability advises whether a particular clause or provision has mandatory
language that a Sponsor must use.
i. Mandatory Language — Whenever a clause or provision has mandatory text, the Sponsor
must incorporate the text of the provision without change, except where specific
adaptive input is necessary (e.g., such as the Sponsor's name).
ii. No Mandatory Language — For provisions without mandatory language, this guidance
provides model language acceptable to the FAA. Some Sponsors may have standard
procurement language that is equivalent to those federal provisions. In these cases,
Sponsors may use their existing standard procurement provision language provided the
text meets the intent and purpose of the Federal law or regulation.
d) Require the contractor (including all subcontractors) to insert these contract provisions in each
lower tier contract (e.g., subcontract or sub -agreement).
e) Require the contractor (including all subcontractors) to incorporate the requirements of these
contract provisions by reference for work done under any purchase orders, rental agreements,
and other agreements for supplies or services.
f) Require that the prime contractor be responsible for compliance with these contract provisions
by any subcontractor, lower -tier subcontractor, or service provider.
Verify that any required local or State provision does not conflict with or alter a Federal law or
regulation.
3. Typical Procurement Steps
The typical procurement steps in a project are:
1) Solicitation, Request for Bids, or Request for Proposals — This step is also called the
Advertisement or Notice to Bidders.
g)
2) Bidding or Accepting Proposals — In this stage, the bidders receive a complete set of the
procurement documents, also known as the project manual. The project manual will typically
include a copy of the solicitation, instructions -to -bidders, bid forms, certifications and
representations, general provisions, contract conditions, copy of contract, project drawings,
technical specifications, and related project documents.
3) Bid/Proposal Evaluation — Period when Sponsor tabulates, reviews, and evaluates all proposals
for bid responsiveness and bidder responsibility.
Guidelines for Contract Provisions for Obligated Sponsors and Airport Improvement Program Projects
Issued on December 29, 2025 Page 5
Docusign Envelope ID: F4998526-DC7B-8C43-82FD-190AF255A93B
4) Award — Point when the Sponsor formally awards the contract to the successful bidder.
5) Execution of Contract — Point at which the Sponsor formally enters into a legally binding
agreement with bidder to perform services or provide goods.
4. Applicability Matrix for Contract Provisions
Table 1 Matrix summarizes the applicability of contract provisions based upon the type of contract or
agreement. The dollar threshold represents the value at which, when equal to or exceeded, the Sponsor
must incorporate the provision in the contract or agreement.
Supplemental information addressing applicability and use for each provision is located in Appendix A.
Appendix A and the Matrix include notes indicating when the Sponsor may incorporate references in the
solicitation in lieu of including the entire text.
Sponsors are responsible for reviewing both the Matrix and each corresponding section to determine
applicability of specific contract provisions.
Meaning of cell values in table below:
• Info —Sponsor has discretion on whether to include clause in its contracts.
• Limited — Provision with limited applicability depending on circumstances of the procurement.
• n/a — Provision that is not applicable for that procurement type.
• NIS — Provision that does not need to be included or referenced in the solicitation document
• REF — Provision to be incorporated into the solicitation by reference.
• REQD — Provision the Sponsor must incorporate into procurement documents.

A3 BUY AMERICAN PREFERENCE
A3.1 SOURCE
Title 49 U.S.C. § 50101
Executive Order 14005, Ensuring the Future is Made in All of America by All of America's Workers
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) (P.L. No. 117-58), Build America, Buy America (BABA)
A3.2 APPLICABILITY
The Buy American Preference incorporates statutory requirements and policies outlined in the in 49
U.S.C. § 50101, Executive Order 14005, and BABA.
Section 50101 of 49 U.S.C. requires that all steel and manufactured goods used on AIP projects be
produced in the United States. This section also gives the FAA the ability to issue a waiver to a Sponsor
to use non -domestic material on an AIP funded project subject to meeting certain conditions. A Sponsor
may request that the FAA issue a waiver from the Buy American Preference requirements if the FAA
finds that:
1) Applying the provision is not in the public interest.
2) The steel or manufactured goods are not available in sufficient quantity or quality in the United
States.
3) The cost of components and subcomponents produced in the United States is more than
60 percent of the total components of a facility or equipment procured, and final assembly has
taken place in the United States. Items that have an FAA standard specification item number
(such as specific airport lighting equipment) are considered the equipment.
4) Applying this provision would increase the cost of the overall project by more than 25 percent.
Executive Order 14005 advances the Administration's priority to use terms and conditions of Federal
financial assistance awards to maximize the use of goods, products, and materials produced in, and
services offered in, the United States. The Order directs, to the extent appropriate and consistent with
applicable law, agencies shall partner with the Hollings Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) to
conduct supplier scouting in order to identify American companies that are able to produce goods,
products, and materials in the United States that meet Federal procurement needs, prior to
consideration of using non -domestic products.
The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), Build America, Buy America (BABA) Act strengthens
Made in America Laws and bolsters America's industrial base, protects national security, and supports
high -paying jobs. Under BABA, iron, steel and certain construction materials are required to be 100%
produced in the United States.
Under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) (P. L. No. 117-58), BABA three waivers are
available for iron and steel, manufactured products, and construction materials when a Federal agency
finds that —

Docusign Envelope ID: F4998526-DC7B-8C43-82FD-190AF255A93B
1) Applying the domestic content procurement preference would be inconsistent with the public
interest (a "public interest waiver");
2) 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 (a
"nonavailability waiver"); 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 (an
"unreasonable cost waiver").
BABA defines construction materials, items that are or consists primarily of non-ferrous metals, plastic
and polymer -based products (including polyvinylchloride, composite building materials, and polymers
used in fiber optic cables), glass (including optic glass), lumber or drywall.
Items that consist of two or more of the aforementioned materials that have been combined through a
manufacturing process, and items that include at least one of the listed materials combined with a
material that is not listed through a manufacturing process should be treated as manufactured products,
rather than as construction materials. For example, a plastic framed sliding window should be treated as
a manufactured product while plate glass should be treated as a construction material.
The Buy America Preference requirements flow down from the Sponsor to first tier contractors, who are
responsible for ensuring that lower tier contractors and subcontractors are also in compliance.
Note: The Buy American Preference does not apply to temporary equipment a contractor uses as a tool
of its trade, and which does not remain as part of the project.
Note: Section 768 of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024 (Public Law 118-63), which became effective
on May 16, 2024, establishes specific requirements for the procurement of certain rolling stock using
FAA grant funds. The provision prohibits airports from using Federal financial assistance to procure
buses or rail car vehicles rolling stock from covered entities.
Required Documentation
The FAA Buy American Requests. All applications (requests) for an FAA Buy American Preference
Waiver includes, at minimum, a completed Content Percentage Worksheet and Final Assembly
Questionnaire. Additional information may be requested from the applicant by the FAA. Airport
Sponsors, consultants, construction contractors, or equipment manufacturers are responsible for
completing and submitting waiver applications. The FAA is unable to make a determination on waiver
requests with incomplete information. Sponsors must confirm with the bidder or offeror to assess the
adequacy of the waiver request and associated information prior to forwarding a waiver request to the
FAA for action. All FAA waivers forms are available from the FAA Buy American Requirements webpage.
Proprietary Confidentiality. Exemption 4 of the Freedom of Information Act protects "trade secrets and
commercial or financial information obtained from a person [that is] privileged or confidential.
Proprietary manufacturing and design information submitted to the Federal Aviation Administration for
the purposes of receiving a Buy American Waiver shall not be disclosed outside the FAA. The FAA will
provide a written notification to the Airport Sponsor, manufacturer(s), contractor(s) or supplier(s) when
a waiver determination is complete.

Docusign Envelope ID: F4998526-DC7B-8C43-82FD-190AF255A93B
Timing of Waiver Requests. Sponsors desiring a Type 2 waiver should submit their waiver request, with
justification, before issuing a solicitation for bids or a request for proposal for a project.
The Sponsor must submit a Type 2, Type 3, or Type 4 waiver request prior to executing the contract.
The FAA will generally not consider waiver requests after execution of the contract except where
extraordinary and extenuating circumstances exist.
The Buy American Notice of Determination (NOD) Process. The FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024
requires that all approved waivers must be posted to the FAA's website and remain posted for public
comment for 10 days, before becoming effective. All FAA waivers must complete the NOD process.
Sponsors are encouraged to wait until approved waivers become effective before executing AIP
projects.
Buy American Conformance Lists. The FAA Office of Airports maintains listings of projects and products
that have received a waiver from the Buy American Preference requirements for project specific and
nationwide use. Each of these conformance lists is available online at
www.faa.gov/airports/aip/buy american/. Products listed on the FAA Nationwide Buy American
Conformance list do not require additional submittal of domestic content information. Nationwide
waivers expire five years from the date issued, unless revoked earlier by the FAA.
Facility Waiver Requests. For construction of a facility, the Sponsor may submit the waiver request
after bid opening, but prior to contract execution. Examples of facility construction include terminal
buildings, terminal renovation, and snow removal equipment buildings.
Contract Types —
Construction and Equipment —The Sponsor must meet the Buy American Preference
requirements of 49 USC § 50101 and BABA for all AIP funded projects that require materials that
are or consists primarily of iron, steel or manufactured goods and construction materials.
Professional Services — Professional service agreements (PSAs) do not normally result in a
deliverable that meets the definition of a manufactured product. However, the emergence of
various project delivery methods has created situations where task deliverables under a PSA
may include a manufactured product. If a PSA includes providing a manufactured good as a
deliverable under the contract, the Sponsor must include the Buy American Preference
provision in the agreement.
Property— Most land transactions do not involve acquiring a manufactured product. However,
under certain circumstances, a property acquisition project could result in the installation of a
manufactured product. For example, the installation of property fencing, gates, doors and locks,
etc. represent manufactured products acquired under an AIP funded land project that must
comply with Buy American Preferences.
Use of Provisions — No mandatory language provided. The following language is acceptable to the FAA
and meets the intent of this requirement. If the Sponsor uses different language, the Sponsor's revised
language must fully comply with 49 U.S.C. § 50101 and BABA.

Issued on December 29, 2025 Page 13
Docusign Envelope ID: F4998526-DC7B-8C43-82FD-190AF255A93B
There are two types of FAA Buy American certifications. The Sponsor must incorporate the appropriate
certifications of compliance with FAA Buy American Preference in the solicitation:
• Construction Projects involving the replacement, rehabilitation, reconstruction of airfield
surfaces such as on runways, taxiways, taxilanes, aprons, roadways, parking lots, etc. — Insert
the Certificate of compliance to FAA Buy American Preference based on Construction Projects.

29 CFR Parts 3 and 5
A8.2 APPLICABILITY and PURPOSE
The Copeland (Anti -Kickback) Act (18 U.S.C. § 874 and 40 U.S.C. § 3145) makes it unlawful to induce by
force, intimidation, threat of dismissal from employment, or by any other manner, any person employed
in the construction or repair of public buildings or public works, financed in whole or in part by the
United States, to give up any part of the compensation to which that person is entitled under a contract
of employment. The Copeland Act also requires each contractor and subcontractor to furnish weekly a
statement of compliance with respect to the wages paid each employee during the preceding week.
Contract Types —
Construction — This provision applies to all construction contracts and subcontracts financed
under the AIP that exceed $2,000.
Equipment —This provision applies to all equipment installation projects (e.g., electrical vault
improvements) financed under the AIP that exceed $2,000. This provision does not apply to
equipment acquisitions where the equipment is manufactured at the vendor's plant (e.g., SRE
and ARFF vehicles).
Professional Services —The emergence of different project delivery methods has created
situations where Professional Service Agreements (PSAs) include tasks that meet the definition
of construction, alteration, or repair as defined in 29 CFR Part 5. If such tasks result in work that
qualifies as construction, alteration, or repair and it exceeds $2,000, the PSA must incorporate
the Copeland Anti -kickback provision.
Property —Ordinarily, land acquisition projects would not involve employment of laborers or
mechanics and thus the Copeland Anti -Kickback provision would not apply. However, land
projects that involve installation of boundary fencing and demolition of structures would involve
laborers and mechanics. The Sponsor must include this provision if the land acquisition project
involves employment of laborers or mechanics for a contract exceeding $2,000.
Use of Provision — No mandatory language provided. The following language is acceptable to the FAA
and meets the intent of this requirement. If the Sponsor uses different language, the Sponsor's
language must fully satisfy the requirements of 29 CFR Part 5.

Use of Provision — MANDATORY TEXT. 29 CFR Part 5 establishes specific language a Sponsor must use.
The Sponsor may not make any modification to the standard language. A/E firms that employ laborers
and mechanics on a task that meets the definition of construction, alteration, or repair are acting as a
contractor. The Sponsor may not substitute the term "Contractor" for "Consultant" in such instances.

A9.3 MANDATORY CONTRACT CLAUSE
DAVIS-BACON REQUIREMENTS
1. Minimum Wages.
(i) All laborers and mechanics employed or working upon the site of the work will be paid
unconditionally and not less often than once a week, and without subsequent deduction or rebate on
any account (except such payroll deductions as are permitted by the Secretary of Labor under
regulations implementing the Copeland Act (29 CFR Part 3)), the full amount of wages and bona fide
fringe benefits (or cash equivalent thereof) due at time of payment computed at rates not less than
those contained in the wage determination of the Secretary of Labor which is attached hereto and
made a part hereof, regardless of any contractual relationship which may be alleged to exist between
the Contractor and such laborers and mechanics.
Contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits under section 1(b)(2)
of the Davis -Bacon Act on behalf of laborers or mechanics are considered wages paid to such laborers
or mechanics, subject to the provisions of paragraph (1)(iv) of this section; also, regular contributions
made or costs incurred for more than a weekly period (but not less often than quarterly) under plans,
funds, or programs which cover the particular weekly period, are deemed to be constructively made or
incurred during such weekly period. Such laborers and mechanics shall be paid the appropriate wage
rate and fringe benefits on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed,
without regard to skill, except as provided in 29 CFR § 5.5(a)(4). Laborers or mechanics performing
work in more than one classification may be compensated at the rate specified for each classification
for the time actually worked therein: Provided, that the employer's payroll records accurately set forth
the time spent in each classification in which work is performed. The wage determination (including
any additional classification and wage rates conformed under (1)(ii) of this section) and the Davis -
Bacon poster (WH-1321) shall be posted at all times by the Contractor and its subcontractors at the
site of the work in a prominent and accessible place where it can easily be seen by the workers.
(ii)(A) The contracting officer shall require that any class of laborers or mechanics, including helpers,
which is not listed in the wage determination and which is to be employed under the contract shall be
classified in conformance with the wage determination. The contracting officer shall approve an
additional classification and wage rate and fringe benefits therefore only when the following criteria
have been met:
(1) The work to be performed by the classification requested is not performed by a classification in the
wage determination;
(2) The classification is utilized in the area by the construction industry; and
(3) The proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe benefits, bears a reasonable relationship to
the wage rates contained in the wage determination.
(B) If the Contractor and the laborers and mechanics to be employed in the classification (if known), or
their representatives, and the contracting officer agree on the classification and wage rate (including

Docusign Envelope ID: F4998526-DC7B-8C43-82FD-190AF255A93B
the amount designated for fringe benefits where appropriate), a report of the action taken shall be
sent by the contracting officer to the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division, U.S. Department of
Labor, Washington, DC 20210. The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will approve,
modify, or disapprove every additional classification action within 30 days of receipt and so advise the
contracting officer or will notify the contracting officer within the 30-day period that additional time is
necessary.
(C) In the event the Contractor, the laborers, or mechanics to be employed in the classification, or their
representatives, and the contracting officer do not agree on the proposed classification and wage rate
(including the amount designated for fringe benefits, where appropriate), the contracting officer shall
refer the questions, including the views of all interested parties and the recommendation of the
contracting officer, to the Administrator for determination. The Administrator, or an authorized
representative, will issue a determination within 30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting
officer or will notify the contracting officer within the 30-day period that additional time is necessary.
(D) The wage rate (including fringe benefits where appropriate) determined pursuant to
subparagraphs (1)(ii) (B) or (C) of this paragraph, shall be paid to all workers performing work in the
classification under this contract from the first day on which work is performed in the classification.
(iii) Whenever the minimum wage rate prescribed in the contract for a class of laborers or mechanics
includes a fringe benefit which is not expressed as an hourly rate, the contractor shall either pay the
benefit as stated in the wage determination or shall pay another bona fide fringe benefit or an hourly
cash equivalent thereof.
(iv) If the Contractor does not make payments to a trustee or other third person, the Contractor may
consider as part of the wages of any laborer or mechanic the amount of any costs reasonably
anticipated in providing bona fide fringe benefits under a plan or program, Provided, that the Secretary
of Labor has found, upon the written request of the Contractor, that the applicable standards of the
Davis -Bacon Act have been met. The Secretary of Labor may require the Contractor to set aside in a
separate account assets for the meeting of obligations under the plan or program.
2. Withholding. The Federal Aviation Administration or the Sponsor shall upon its own action or upon
written request of an authorized representative of the Department of Labor withhold or cause to be
withheld from the Contractor under this contract or any other Federal contract with the same prime
contractor, or any other federally -assisted contract subject to Davis -Bacon prevailing wage
requirements, which is held by the same prime contractor, so much of the accrued payments or
advances as may be considered necessary to pay laborers and mechanics, including apprentices,
trainees, and helpers, employed by the Contractor or any subcontractor the full amount of wages
required by the contract. In the event of failure to pay any laborer or mechanic, including any
apprentice, trainee, or helper, employed or working on the site of the work, all or part of the wages
required by the contract, the Federal Aviation Administration may, after written notice to the
Contractor, Sponsor, Applicant, or Owner, take such action as may be necessary to cause the
suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds until such violations have ceased.

3. Payrolls and Basic Records.
(i) Payrolls and basic records relating thereto shall be maintained by the Contractor during the course
of the work and preserved for a period of three years thereafter for all laborers and mechanics
working at the site of the work. Such records shall contain the name, address, and social security
number of each such worker; his or her correct classification; hourly rates of wages paid (including
rates of contributions or costs anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits or cash equivalents thereof of
the types described in 1(b)(2)(B) of the Davis -Bacon Act); daily and weekly number of hours worked;
deductions made; and actual wages paid. Whenever the Secretary of Labor has found under 29 CFR
5.5(a)(1)(iv) that the wages of any laborer or mechanic include the amount of any costs reasonably
anticipated in providing benefits under a plan or program described in section 1(b)(2)(B) of the Davis -
Bacon Act, the Contractor shall maintain records that show that the commitment to provide such
benefits is enforceable, that the plan or program is financially responsible, and that the plan or
program has been communicated in writing to the laborers or mechanics affected, and records which
show the costs anticipated or the actual costs incurred in providing such benefits. Contractors
employing apprentices or trainees under approved programs shall maintain written evidence of the
registration of apprenticeship programs and certification of trainee programs, the registration of the
apprentices and trainees, and the ratios and wage rates prescribed in the applicable programs.
(ii)(A) The Contractor shall submit weekly for each week in which any contract work is performed a
copy of all payrolls to the Federal Aviation Administration if the agency is a party to the contract, but if
the agency is not such a party, the Contractor will submit the payrolls to the applicant, Sponsor, or
Owner, as the case may be, for transmission to the Federal Aviation Administration. The payrolls
submitted shall set out accurately and completely all of the information required to be maintained
under 29 CFR § 5.5(a)(3)(i), except that full social security numbers and home addresses shall not be
included on weekly transmittals. Instead, the payrolls shall only need to include an individually
identifying number for each employee (e.g., the last four digits of the employee's social security
number). The required weekly payroll information may be submitted in any form desired. Optional
Form WH-347 is available for this purpose from the Wage and Hour Division Web site at
https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/government-contracts/construction/payroll-certification or its
successor site. The prime contractor is responsible for the submission of copies of payrolls by all
subcontractors. Contractors and subcontractors shall maintain the full social security number and
current address of each covered worker and shall provide them upon request to the Federal Aviation
Administration if the agency is a party to the contract, but if the agency is not such a party, the
Contractor will submit them to the applicant, Sponsor, or Owner, as the case may be, for transmission
to the Federal Aviation Administration, the Contractor, or the Wage and Hour Division of the
Department of Labor for purposes of an investigation or audit of compliance with prevailing wage
requirements. It is not a violation of this section for a prime contractor to require a subcontractor to
provide addresses and social security numbers to the prime contractor for its own records, without
weekly submission to the sponsoring government agency (or the applicant, Sponsor, or Owner).

Docusign Envelope ID: F4998526-DC7B-8C43-82FD-190AF255A93B
(B) Each payroll submitted shall be accompanied by a "Statement of Compliance," signed by the
Contractor or subcontractor or his or her agent who pays or supervises the payment of the persons
employed under the contract and shall certify the following:
(1) That the payroll for the payroll period contains the information required to be provided under 29
CFR § 5.5(a)(3)(ii), the appropriate information is being maintained under 29 CFR § 5.5 (a)(3)(i), and
that such information is correct and complete;
(2) That each laborer and mechanic (including each helper, apprentice, and trainee) employed on the
contract during the payroll period has been paid the full weekly wages earned, without rebate, either
directly or indirectly, and that no deductions have been made either directly or indirectly from the full
wages earned, other than permissible deductions as set forth in Regulations, 29 CFR Part 3;
(3) That each laborer or mechanic has been paid not less than the applicable wage rates and fringe
benefits or cash equivalents for the classification of work performed, as specified in the applicable
wage determination incorporated into the contract.
(C) The weekly submission of a properly executed certification set forth on the reverse side of Optional
Form WH-347 shall satisfy the requirement for submission of the "Statement of Compliance" required
by paragraph (3)(ii)(B) of this section.
(D) The falsification of any of the above certifications may subject the Contractor or subcontractor to
civil or criminal prosecution under Section 1001 of Title 18 and Section 231 of Title 31 of the United
States Code.
(iii) The Contractor or subcontractor shall make the records required under paragraph (3)(i) of this
section available for inspection, copying, or transcription by authorized representatives of the Sponsor,
the Federal Aviation Administration, or the Department of Labor and shall permit such representatives
to interview employees during working hours on the job. If the Contractor or subcontractor fails to
submit the required records or to make them available, the Federal agency may, after written notice to
the Contractor, Sponsor, applicant, or Owner, take such action as may be necessary to cause the
suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds. Furthermore, failure to submit the
required records upon request or to make such records available may be grounds for debarment
action pursuant to 29 CFR § 5.12.
4. Apprentices and Trainees.
(i) Apprentices. Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work
they performed when they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a bona fide
apprenticeship program registered with the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training
Administration, Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services, or with a State
Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Office, or if a person is employed in his or her first 90 days of
probationary employment as an apprentice in such an apprenticeship program, who is not individually
registered in the program, but who has been certified by the Office of Apprenticeship Training,
Employer and Labor Services or a State Apprenticeship Agency (where appropriate) to be eligible for
probationary employment as an apprentice. The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeymen on the
Guidelines for Contract Provisions for Obligated Sponsors and Airport Improvement Program Projects

Docusign Envelope ID: F4998526-DC7B-8C43-82FD-190AF255A93B
job site in any craft classification shall not be greater than the ratio permitted to the contractor as to
the entire work force under the registered program. Any worker listed on a payroll at an apprentice
wage rate, who is not registered or otherwise employed as stated above, shall be paid not less than
the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed.
In addition, any apprentice performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the
registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for
the work actually performed. Where a contractor is performing construction on a project in a locality
other than that in which its program is registered, the ratios and wage rates (expressed in percentages
of the journeyman's hourly rate) specified in the Contractor's or subcontractor's registered program
shall be observed. Every apprentice must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the registered
program for the apprentice's level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeymen hourly
rate specified in the applicable wage determination. Apprentices shall be paid fringe benefits in
accordance with the provisions of the apprenticeship program. If the apprenticeship program does not
specify fringe benefits, apprentices must be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage
determination for the applicable classification. If the Administrator determines that a different
practice prevails for the applicable apprentice classification, fringes shall be paid in accordance with
that determination. In the event the Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services, or
a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Office, withdraws approval of an apprenticeship
program, the Contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize apprentices at less than the applicable
predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved.
(ii) Trainees. Except as provided in 29 CFR § 5.16, trainees will not be permitted to work at less than
the predetermined rate for the work performed unless they are employed pursuant to and individually
registered in a program which has received prior approval, evidenced by formal certification by the
U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration. The ratio of trainees to
journeymen on the job site shall not be greater than permitted under the plan approved by the
Employment and Training Administration. Every trainee must be paid at no less than the rate specified
in the approved program for the trainee's level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the
journeyman hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination. Trainees shall be paid fringe
benefits in accordance with the provisions of the trainee program. If the trainee program does not
mention fringe benefits, trainees shall be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage
determination unless the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division determines that there is an
apprenticeship program associated with the corresponding journeyman wage rate on the wage
determination that provides for less than full fringe benefits for apprentices. Any employee listed on
the payroll at a trainee rate that is not registered and participating in a training plan approved by the
Employment and Training Administration shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the
wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any trainee
performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be
paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually
performed. In the event the Employment and Training Administration withdraws approval of a
training program, the Contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize trainees at less than the
applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved.

5. Compliance with Copeland Act Requirements.
The Contractor shall comply with the requirements of 29 CFR Part 3, which are incorporated by
reference in this contract.
6. Subcontracts.
The Contractor or subcontractor shall insert in any subcontracts the clauses contained in 29 CFR
§§ 5.5(a)(1) through (10) and such other clauses as the Federal Aviation Administration may by
appropriate instructions require, and also a clause requiring the subcontractors to include these
clauses in any lower tier subcontracts. The prime contractor shall be responsible for compliance by
any subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor with all the contract clauses in 29 CFR § 5.5.
7. Contract Termination: Debarment.
A breach of the contract clauses in paragraph 1 through 10 of this section may be grounds for
termination of the contract, and for debarment as a contractor and a subcontractor as provided in 29
CFR § 5.12.
8. Compliance with Davis -Bacon and Related Act Requirements.
All rulings and interpretations of the Davis -Bacon and Related Acts contained in 29 CFR Parts 1, 3, and
5 are herein incorporated by reference in this contract.
9. Disputes Concerning Labor Standards.
Disputes arising out of the labor standards provisions of this contract shall not be subject to the
general disputes clause of this contract. Such disputes shall be resolved in accordance with the
procedures of the Department of Labor set forth in 29 CFR Parts 5, 6, and 7. Disputes within the
meaning of this clause include disputes between the Contractor (or any of its subcontractors) and the
contracting agency, the U.S. Department of Labor, or the employees or their representatives.
10. Certification of Eligibility.
(i) By entering into this contract, the Contractor certifies that neither it (nor he or she) nor any person
or firm who has an interest in the Contractor's firm is a person or firm ineligible to be awarded
Government contracts by virtue of section 3(a) of the Davis -Bacon Act or 29 CFR § 5.12(a)(1).
(ii) No part of this contract shall be subcontracted to any person or firm ineligible for award of a
Government contract by virtue of section 3(a) of the Davis -Bacon Act or 29 CFR § 5.12(a)(1).
(iii) The penalty for making false statements is prescribed in the U.S. Criminal Code, 18 USC § 1001.

A10.2 APPLICABILITY
The Sponsor must verify that the firm or individual that it is entering into a contract with is not presently
suspended, excluded, or debarred by any Federal department or agency from participating in
federally -assisted projects. The Sponsor accomplishes this by:
1) Checking the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) to verify that the firm or individual is
not listed in SAM.gov as being suspended, debarred, or excluded;
2) Collecting a certification from the firm or individual that it is not suspended, debarred, or
excluded; and
3) Incorporating a clause in the contract that requires lower tier contracts to verify that no
suspended, debarred, or excluded firm or individual is included in the project.
Contract Types — This requirement applies to covered transactions, which are defined in 2 CFR part 180
(Subpart B). AIP funded contracts are non -procurement transactions, as defined by 2 CFR § 180.970.
Covered transactions include any AIP-funded contract, regardless of tier, that is awarded by a
contractor, subcontractor, supplier, consultant, or its agent or representative in any transaction, if the
amount of the contract is expected to equal or exceed $25,000. This includes contracts associated with
land acquisition projects.
Use of Provision — No mandatory language provided. The following language is acceptable to the FAA in
meeting the intent of this requirement. If the Sponsor uses different language, the Sponsor's language
must fully satisfy the requirements of 2 CFR part 180. For professional service agreements, Sponsor may
substitute "bidder/offeror" with "consultant."
A10.3 MODEL BID/PROPOSAL CERTIFICATION CLAUSES
A10.3.1 Bidder or Offeror Certification
CERTIFICATION OF OFFEROR/BIDDER REGARDING DEBARMENT
By submitting a bid/proposal under this solicitation, the bidder or offeror certifies that neither it nor its
principals are presently debarred or suspended by any Federal department or agency from
participation in this transaction.

A10.3.2 Lower Tier Contract Certification
CERTIFICATION OF LOWER TIER CONTRACTORS REGARDING DEBARMENT
The successful bidder, by administering each lower tier subcontract that exceeds $25,000 as a
"covered transaction", must confirm each lower tier participant of a "covered transaction" under the
project is not presently debarred or otherwise disqualified from participation in this federally -assisted
project. The successful bidder will accomplish this by:
1. Checking the System for Award Management at website: http://www.sam.gov.
2. Collecting a certification statement similar to the Certification of Offeror /Bidder Regarding
Debarment, above.
3. Inserting a clause or condition in the covered transaction with the lower tier contract.
If the Federal Aviation Administration later determines that a lower tier participant failed to disclose to
a higher tier participant that it was excluded or disqualified at the time it entered the covered
transaction, the FAA may pursue any available remedies, including suspension and debarment of the
non -compliant participant.

All DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE
A11.1 SOURCE
49 CFR Part 26
49 U.S.C. § 47113
A11.2 APPLICABILITY
A Sponsor that anticipates awarding prime contracts totaling $250,000 or more in Federal financial
assistance in a federal fiscal year must have an approved Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE)
program on file with the FAA Office of Civil Rights (49 CFR § 26.21). The Sponsor will also identify a 3-
year overall program goal that the Sponsor bases on the availability of ready, willing, and able DBEs
relative to all businesses ready, willing, and able to participate on the project (49 CFR § 26.45).
Contract Types — Sponsors with a DBE program on file with the FAA must include the following
provisions, if applicable:
1) Clause in all solicitations for proposals for which a contract goal has been established,
2) Clause in each prime contract, and
3) Clause in solicitations that seek to obtain DBE participation.
Use of Provision —
1. Solicitations with a DBE Contract Goal — No mandatory language provided. 49 CFR §26.53
requires a Sponsor's solicitation to address what a contractor must submit on proposed DBE
participation. The language of A11.3.1 is acceptable to the FAA in meeting the intent of this
requirement. If the Sponsor uses different language, the Sponsor's revised language must
fully satisfy these requirements. The Sponsor may require the contractor's submittal on
proposed DBE participation either at bid opening as a matter of responsiveness or within
five days of bid opening as a matter of responsibility. The Sponsor's election regarding
responsiveness vs. responsibility is recorded in its approved DBE program. Special
consideration and procedures apply to negotiated procurements and to projects solicited
using the Design -Build approach.
2. Solicitations without a DBE Contract Goal — No mandatory language provided. The language
of A11.3.2 is acceptable to the FAA in meeting the intent of this requirement. If the Sponsor
uses different language, the Sponsor's revised language must fully satisfy requirements for a
Sponsor that is not applying a project specific contract goal but is covered by a DBE program
on file with the FAA.
3. Assurance for Contracts Covered by DBE Program — MANDATORY TEXT PROVIDED.
Sponsors must incorporate this language if they have a DBE program on file with the FAA.
This language must be included regardless of whether there is a DBE contract goal for the
project. Section 26.13 of 49 CFR establishes mandatory language for contractor assurance.
Guidelines for Contract Provisions for Obligated Sponsors and Airport Improvement Program Projects
Issued on December 29, 2025 Page 44
Docusign Envelope ID: F4998526-DC7B-8C43-82FD-190AF255A93B
The Sponsor must not modify the language. Part 26 of 49 CFR requires Sponsors ensure this
clause also flows down into subcontracts (i.e., must be included verbatim in subcontracts).
4. Prompt Payment for Contracts Covered by DBE Program — No mandatory language provided.
49 CFR § 26.29 requires Sponsors to include a contract clause requiring prompt payment to
subcontractors no later than thirty (30) days after the prime contractor receives payment
from the Sponsor. The requirement applies to all subcontractors, not just DBEs. The prompt
payment language of Al2.3.3 is acceptable to the FAA in meeting the intent of this
requirement. If the Sponsor uses different language, such as a specific clause identified in
the Sponsor's approved DBE program plan, the Sponsor's revised language must fully satisfy
these requirements.
5. Termination of DBE Subcontractors on Contracts with a DBE Contract Goal - No mandatory
language provided. 49 CFR § 26.53 prohibits unauthorized removal or replacement of DBE
firms listed in response to a solicitation that had a DBE contract goal and sets forth the
specific enforcement mechanism recipients must include in prime contracts. The language
of Al2.3.3 is acceptable to the FAA in meeting the intent of this requirement.
6. Sponsors that are not required to have a DBE program on file with the FAA are not required
to include DBE provisions and clauses.
A11.3 REQUIRED PROVISIONS
A11.3.1 Solicitation Language (Solicitations with a DBE
Contract Goal)
For traditional design -bid -build projects, the decision on whether DBE information is a matter of
responsiveness or responsibility is laid out in the Sponsor's approved DBE program and the Sponsor
should incorporate the applicable solicitation language accordingly. Special procedures apply in the
case of negotiated procurements and for projects that follow the Design -Build method of
procurement. In all cases, Sponsors should include only the applicable solicitation language from the
examples below.
Bid Information Submitted as a matter of responsiveness:
The Owner's award of this contract is conditioned upon Bidder or Offeror satisfying the good faith
effort requirements of 49 CFR § 26.53.
As a condition of responsiveness, the Bidder or Offeror must submit the following information with its
proposal on the forms provided herein:
1) The names and addresses of Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) firms that will participate
in the contract;
2) A description of the work that each DBE firm will perform;
3) The dollar amount of the participation of each DBE firm listed under (1);
4) Written statement from Bidder or Offeror that attests their commitment to use the DBE firm(s)
listed under (1) to meet the Owner's project goal

Issued on December 29, 2025 Page 45
Docusign Envelope ID: F4998526-DC7B-8C43-82FD-190AF255A93B
5) Written confirmation from each listed DBE firm that it is participating in the contract in the kind
and amount of work provided in the prime contractor's commitment; and
6) If Bidder or Offeror cannot meet the advertised project DBE goal, evidence of good faith efforts
undertaken by the Bidder or Offeror as described in appendix A to 49 CFR part 26 including any
amendments thereto. The documentation of good faith efforts must include copies of each DBE
and non -DBE subcontractor quote submitted to the bidder when a non -DBE subcontractor was
selected over a DBE for work on the contract.
Bid Information submitted as a matter of responsibility:
The Owner's award of this contract is conditioned upon Bidder or Offeror satisfying the good faith
effort requirements of 49 CFR § 26.53.
As a condition of responsibility, every Bidder or Offeror must submit the following information on the
forms provided herein within five days after bid opening.
1) The names and addresses of Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) firms that will participate
in the contract;
2) A description of the work that each DBE firm will perform;
3) The dollar amount of the participation of each DBE firm listed under (1);
4) Written statement from Bidder or Offeror that attests their commitment to use the DBE firm(s)
listed under (1) to meet the Owner's project goal;
5) Written confirmation from each listed DBE firm that it is participating in the contract in the kind
and amount of work provided in the prime contractor's commitment; and
6) If Bidder or Offeror cannot meet the advertised project DBE goal, evidence of good faith efforts
undertaken by the Bidder or Offeror as described in appendix A to 49 CFR Part 26 including any
amendments thereto. The documentation of good faith efforts must include copies of each DBE
and non -DBE subcontractor quote submitted to the bidder when a non -DBE subcontractor was
selected over a DBE for work on the contract.
Bid Information requirements for negotiated procurements:
In a negotiated procurement, such as a procurement for professional services, the Sponsor may allow
the bidder/offeror to make a contractually binding commitment to meet the goal at the time of bid
submission or the presentation of initial proposals but provide the information required under the
above responsiveness or responsibility procedures before the final selection for the contract is made by
the recipient.
Bid Information submitted for Design -Build projects:
In a design -build contracting situation, in which the Sponsor solicits proposals to design and build a
project with minimal -project details at time of letting, the Sponsor may set a DBE goal that proposers
must meet by submitting a DBE Open -Ended DBE Performance Plan (OEPP) with the proposal. The OEPP
replaces the requirement to provide the information required in paragraph (b) of 49 CFR § 26.53 that
Guidelines for Contract Provisions for Obligated Sponsors and Airport Improvement Program Projects
Issued on December 29, 2025 Page 46
Docusign Envelope ID: F4998526-DC7B-8C43-82FD-190AF255A93B
applies to design -bid -build contracts. To be considered responsive, the OEPP must include a

same as if the Owner issued the termination for the convenience the Owner.
The rights and remedies of the Owner in this clause are in addition to any other rights and remedies
provided by law or under this contract.

award. If it is later determined that the Contractor or subcontractor knowingly rendered an erroneous
certification, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) may direct through the Owner cancellation of
the contract or subcontract for default at no cost to the Owner or the FAA.
