SPECIAL PROVISIONS
CONTRACT NO. 17R26
SECTION I – 6 –
produced or manufactured in the United States must be greater than 55% of the total cost of all
components of the manufactured product.
With respect to precast concrete products that are classified as manufactured products,
ensure the components of precast concrete products that consist wholly or predominantly of iron
or steel or a combination of both meet the requirements of subsection 106.09.
D. General. Domestic materials preference applies to articles, materials, and
supplies that are consumed in, incorporated into, or affixed to a project. It does not apply to
tools, equipment, and supplies brought to the construction site and removed at or before the
completion of the project (e.g., temporary aluminum scaffolding). Buy America preference does
not apply to equipment and furnishings that are used at or within the finished infrastructure
project but are not permanently affixed to the structure (e.g., movable chairs, desks, or
computer equipment used at or within the project but are not integral or permanently affixed to a
structure).
Refer to the decision tree in Section 3.5 of MT 601 to aid in appropriately categorizing
specific materials.
Submit Form MDT-MAT-407 “Manufacturer’s Certificate of Compliance” for every
material identified as a construction material or manufactured product. Do not incorporate
materials covered by Form MDT-MAT-407 into the project until all required documentation is
submitted to the Department. Ensure suppliers and manufacturers understand the domestic
material and contract requirements to supply the required materials and associated
documentation.
The Department will not accept items installed until all supporting documentation has
been reviewed and is found to be in accordance with the contract requirements. Insufficient or
unavailable documentation or documentation showing products containing construction
materials of foreign origin are grounds for removal and replacement at the contractor’s expense.
The Department has designated contract materials as either “construction materials” or
“manufactured products” by their respective 9-digit material codes in section MT 601 of the
Montana Materials Manual. The Department recognizes there will be situations where a product
or material may not fit the designation indicated in section MT 601. In these cases, submit
documentation demonstrating or justifying the supplier or manufacturer’s position that their
specific item has been misclassified to the Project Manager at least 10 business days in
advance of installation. The Department, in conjunction with FHWA, will review the submitted
documentation and decide as to how that specific product or material will be classified. These
determinations will be final, and the appropriate documentation as defined above is required.
The Department further recognizes there will be situations when a product or material
may not be addressed in MT 601. In these cases, submit certification of the material’s domestic
origin appropriate for the material classification to the Project Manager prior to installation.
The US DOT has found that it is in the public interest to issue a waiver of domestic
preferences in certain situations. For construction materials and manufactured products, the
domestic preference may be waived if the total value of non-compliant material is under
$1,000,000 or 5% of the total applicable project costs, whichever is less. Submit actual
individual material costs, minus manufacturing costs outside the defined manufacturing
processes outlined above, along with justification in the form of invoices, bills of lading, or other
appropriate documents to the Department if requesting the waiver.
The above waiver does not apply to iron and steel, the existing de minimis standard for
iron and steel under subsection 106.09 continues to apply.
A project with a total contract value of $500,000 or less is exempt from all domestic
preference regulations including steel and iron.

of those federal funds. If the federal funds are reduced or not received, the Department may
choose to terminate the contract for convenience under the provisions of Subsection 108.10.
Any bidder on this project, by submitting its bid, understands and accepts the possibility of the
contract being terminated in the event federal funds are reduced or not available and by
submitting a bid, each bidder waives any claims for costs or damages other than as specifically
allowed by Subsection 108.10.2. In particular, bidders understand and accept that no payment
will be allowed for any claimed anticipated profit for work not performed.
9. STORM WATER PERMITTING REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE MT POLLUTANT
DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM (MPDES) [208] (REVISED 8-10-23)
A. Description. The DEQ regulates storm water discharges under the MPDES
program. If the bid package contains blank erosion control plans, a construction storm water
discharge permit authorization will be required. If not, a storm water discharge permit
authorization may be required for this project depending on Contractor’s operations. Sum the
disturbance area (as defined by DEQ) identified in the contract with the area of disturbance
caused by contractor operations to determine if the permit acreage threshold is exceeded.
Contractor operations can include, but are not limited to, the following support activities: staging
areas, access roads, material storage areas, temporary concrete, or asphalt batch plants,
borrow areas, areas used for fill placement, etc. If the summed disturbance area is one acre or
more, use the DEQ authorization to discharge under the MPDES General Permit for Storm
Water Discharges Associated with Construction Activity (General Permit) for this project. In
order to facilitate permit transfer, separate NOI packages are required for areas within the right-
of-way and areas outside of the right-of-way. A NOI package includes a Notice of Intent, with a
topographic map, a SWPPP, the erosion control plans, sage grouse consultation letter, if
applicable, and supporting documentation.
Blank Erosion Control Plans, and a topographic map, are provided with the plans if the
plans include greater than 1 acre of disturbance. Complete the erosion control plans as required
by the general permit. Complete the SWPPP using DEQ’s most current SWPPP Form.
B. Materials. Follow the requirements described in the Department’s Erosion and
Sediment Control Best Management Practices Manual (December 2016). Rescind Section 208
detailed drawings. Submit to the Project Manager for review and acceptance BMPs proposed
for use that are not included in the Manual.
C. Construction Requirements.
1) MPDES Permit Required.
a) Submit one NOI package and the associated fees to DEQ for ground disturbance
areas shown in the plans or within the right-of-way. For ground disturbance areas shown in the
plans and any other areas within the right-of-way where Contractor activities causing ground
disturbance are planned, the Contractor is the sole permittee until construction is complete and
the General Permit is transferred to the Department or another entity.
The Department is not responsible for delays caused by incomplete or inaccurate
submittals by the Contractor.
Comply with the requirements of the General Permit and implement the SWPPP.
Provide an electronic copy of the NOI Package submitted to DEQ and confirmation for receipt of
a complete NOI Package from DEQ to the Project Manager prior to conducting any ground
disturbance activities.
Do not begin construction activities until the required copy of the NOI Package submitted
to DEQ and confirmation for receipt of a complete NOI Package from DEQ is received by the
Project Manager.
b) Furnish and install public signage as required by the General Permit. Include the
cost of the required sign(s) in the Temporary Erosion Control Lump Sum bid item. Submit a
separate NOI package and the associated fees to DEQ for ground disturbance and support
activity areas outside the right-of-way and not shown in the plans. Contractor furnished materialADVERTISED COPY

sources, staging areas, plant sites, or any other Contractor caused ground disturbance outside
the right-of-way and not shown in the plans, are the Contractor's responsibility and must be
submitted under a separate NOI package from the ground disturbance within the right-of-way.
For all support activities outside the right-of-way which are not part of a larger commercial
operation serving multiple unrelated construction activities and will not continue operation
beyond the completion of the contracted road construction activity, a notice of intent package
must be submitted to DEQ to obtain an authorization under the General Permit. Sand and
gravel borrow area operations, gravel pits, and/or concrete batch plants that will continue
operation beyond the completion of the contracted road project, are part of a larger commercial
operation, or serving multiple unrelated construction activities, must obtain permit coverage
under the Multi-Sector General Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Industrial
Activity (MSGP) regardless of acreage size of the activity if the activity does not already have
MSGP authorization. The Contractor is the sole permittee until stabilization is complete and the
General Permit is terminated or transferred to another entity. The Department is not responsible
for delays caused by incomplete or inaccurate submittals to DEQ by the Contractor.
Provide copies of all NOI Packages submitted to DEQ and confirmations for receipt of
complete NOI Packages from DEQ to the Project Manager prior to conducting any ground
disturbance activities.
Be responsible for all temporary erosion, sediment, and pollution prevention controls for
Contractor furnished material sources, staging areas, plant sites, or any other Contractor
caused ground disturbance outside the right-of-way and not shown in the plans.
c) Complete and document all inspections in accordance with the requirements of
the General Permit. Use DEQ’s most current self-inspection form available online at:
https://deq.mt.gov/files/Water/WQInfo/Documents/WPBForms/2023-Attachment-B-
MTR100000.pdf. Provide a copy of all inspection reports to the Project Manager within 7
calendar days of the inspection.
Report potential noncompliance in accordance with applicable regulations, guidance,
and permit conditions. Submit to the Project Manager within 7 calendar days of sending or
receiving all correspondence to or from regulatory agencies regarding potential noncompliance
or violations.
The temporary erosion and sediment control measures and devices to prevent pollution
and control sediment transport and soil erosion will be inspected as part of the final inspection to
ensure they are maintained and functioning properly. Do not transfer or terminate the General
Permit coverage until the BMPs are inspected and accepted and all records required under the
permit, including inspection and monitoring reports, are furnished to the Project Manager and
authorization is received from the Department. The Department may require that certain BMPs
be replaced by another type of BMP as a condition of permit transfer.
Upon approval of site conditions, measures, devices and all pertinent records, the Department
will notify the Contractor to begin the Permit Transfer Notification in DEQ FACTS. Once
completed, provide verification that all fees have been paid and the permit is ready for transfer
in DEQ FACTS. The Department is not liable for the completeness or accuracy of Contractor
records completed prior to the permit transfer. Ensure permit conditions and responsibilities are
met until confirmation of the transfer is received from DEQ. Defend and hold the Department
harmless from any violations, claims, enforcement actions, penalties or fines issued for
Contractor activities or recordkeeping that occurred prior to the transfer of the General Permit.
If the Department concurs that final stabilization has been met during the final walk-
through, the Contractor may submit a Notice of Termination form to DEQ. Pay the annual fee
invoice due at the time of termination. Submit the annual fee invoice to the Project Manager for
reimbursement.
2) MPDES Permit not Required.
The BMP-Administration item is included in contracts that may not meet either criteria for
an MPDES permit but include ground disturbing activities. Complete BMP inspections andADVERTISED COPY
