<br />12 <br /> <br />subcontracts, which exceed $100,000 and that all such <br />recipients shall certify and disclose accordingly. <br /> <br /> <br />XII. USE OF UNITED STATES-FLAG VESSELS: <br /> <br />This provision is applicable to all Federal-aid construction <br />contracts, design-build contracts, subcontracts, lower-tier <br />subcontracts, purchase orders, lease agreements, or any other <br />covered transaction. 46 CFR Part 381. <br /> <br />This requirement applies to material or equipment that is <br />acquired for a specific Federal-aid highway project. 46 CFR <br />381.7. It is not applicable to goods or materials that come into <br />inventories independent of an FHWA funded-contract. <br /> <br />When oceanic shipments (or shipments across the Great <br />Lakes) are necessary for materials or equipment acquired for a <br />specific Federal-aid construction project, the bidder, proposer, <br />contractor, subcontractor, or vendor agrees: <br /> <br />1. To utilize privately owned United States-flag commercial <br />vessels to ship at least 50 percent of the gross tonnage <br />(computed separately for dry bulk carriers, dry cargo liners, <br />and tankers) involved, whenever shipping any equipment, <br />material, or commodities pursuant to this contract, to the <br />extent such vessels are available at fair and reasonable rates <br />for United States-flag commercial vessels. 46 CFR 381.7. <br /> <br />2. To furnish within 20 days following the date of loading for <br />shipments originating within the United States or within 30 <br />working days following the date of loading for shipments <br />originating outside the United States, a legible copy of a rated, <br />‘on-board’ commercial ocean bill-of-lading in English for each <br />shipment of cargo described in paragraph (b)(1) of this section <br />to both the Contracting Officer (through the prime contractor in <br />the case of subcontractor bills-of-lading) and to the Office of <br />Cargo and Commercial Sealift (MAR-620), Maritime <br />Administration, Washington, DC 20590. (MARAD requires <br />copies of the ocean carrier's (master) bills of lading, certified <br />onboard, dated, with rates and charges. These bills of lading <br />may contain business sensitive information and therefore may <br />be submitted directly to MARAD by the Ocean Transportation <br />Intermediary on behalf of the contractor). 46 CFR 381.7. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
