Unless otherwise stipulated, the Contractor shall provide and pay for all materials, labor, water, tools, equipment, light, power, transportation and other facilities necessary for the execution and completion of the work. Unless otherwise specified, all materials shall be new and both workmanship and materials, shall be of good and uniform quality. The Contractor shall, if required, furnish satisfactory evidence as to the kind and quality of materials. 10. PREFERENCE OF BIDDERS AND MATERIALS The selection of materials and equipment for the work shall be in accordance with the laws of Colorado and the Buy American Act (41 U.S.C. 10) as follows: A resident bidder shall be allowed a preference against a nonresident bidder from a state or foreign country equal to the preference given or required by the state or foreign country in which the nonresident bidder is a resident. (Title 8-19-101 to 102, CRS, as amended)* *(8-19-103 repealed, 1988) The Buy American Act provides that the Government give preference to domestic construction material. The Contractor agrees that only domestic construction material will be used by the Contractor, subcontractors, materialmen and supplies in the performance of this agreement, except for foreign construction material, if any, listed in this agreement. Components, used in this clause, means those articles, materials, and supplies incorporated directly into construction materials. Construction material, as used in this clause, means an article, material or supply brought to the construction site for incorporation into the building or work. Construction material also includes an item brought to the site pre -assembled from articles, materials or supplies. However, emergency life safety systems, such as fire alarm systems, which are discrete systems incorporated into a public building or work and which are produced as a complete system, shall be evaluated as a single and distinct construction material regardless of when or how the individual parts or component of such systems are delivered to the construction site. Domestic construction material, as used in this clause means (a) an unmanufactured constructed material mined or produced in the United States, or (b) a construction material manufactured in the United States, if the cost of its components mined produced, or manufactured in the United States exceeds 50 percent of the cost of all its components. Components of foreign origin of the same class or kind as the construction materials determined by the Principle Representative or designee not to be mined, produced or manufactured in the United States in sufficient and reasonably available commercial quantities of a satisfactory quality, shall be treated as domestic. 11. LABOR AND WAGES Title B-17-101, C.R.S., as amended applies to this contract and states that eighty percent of the laborers employed on each project must be Colorado labor. Colorado labor means any person who is a resident of the State of Colorado at the time of employment, without discrimination as to race, color, creed, sex, age or religion. The rate of wages to be paid for all laborers and mechanics shall be in accordance with the laws of Colorado. The Davis -Bacon Act does not apply. The Contractor shall at all times enforce strict discipline and good order among his employees, and shall not employ on the work any unfit person or anyone not skilled in the work assigned to him. 12.
