Description: DBIA-WPR Water/Wastewater Committee webinar, IMPLEMENTING BABA REQUIREMENTS IN DESIGN-BUILD PROJECTS.  The Build America Buy America Act, included in the IIJA, states “none of the funds made available for a Federal financial assistance program for infrastructure…may be obligated for a project unless all of the iron, steel, manufactured products, and construction materials used in the project are produced in the United States.” In this webinar, EPA’s Office of Water Domestic Preference Implementation team will provide practical guidance to ensure compliance with these standards for its SRF, WIFIA, and other OW programs. We will also look at examples of how design-build delivery and supply chain volatility can be impacted by these requirements.

• Ernie Maschner DBIA - Vice President, Global Water, Victaulic and Chair, DBIA Market Volatility and Supply Chain Subcommittee
