Abstract:

This digest contains a report prepared under TCRP Project J-5, "Legal Aspects of Transit and Intermodal Transportation Programs," for which the Transportation Research Board is the agency coordinating the research. The report, which has the same title as this digest and is authored by Jaye Pershing Johnson, is an easy-to-use guide for transit operating agencies that provides all the Buy America requirements with an emphasis on the specific requirements that apply both to manufactured products and to rolling stock. The report should be useful to attorneys, administrators, contracting officers, engineers, and all officials that have purchasing responsibilities. It is organized as follows: (I) Introduction; (II) History of the Buy America Requirements; (III) What Buy America Is Not; (IV) Buy America Requirements--Tests and Interpretations; (V) Waivers and Exemptions; (VI) Buy American Compliance; (VII) Conclusion; and (Appendix A) A copy of the Buy America Survey questionnaire.
