In awarding contracts for the purchase of work, labor, services, supplies, equipment, materials,

include the use of steel products or foundry products made in the United States. I understand it is
my sole obligation and responsibility to provide a justification to the City, subject to review and
approval, why the cost of United States made steel or foundry products is unreasonable. Prior to
award and upon submission of bid which does not use steel products or foundry products made
in the United States, the City, through its director of public works, shall make a determination if
the price of United States made steel or foundry is unreasonable. I understand that violations
hereunder may result in forfeiture of contractual payments.
I hereby affirm under the penalties of perjury that the facts and information contained in the foregoing bid for
public works are true and correct.
