3.6 Buy America Act The state and each subrecipient will comply with the Buy American requirement (23
U.S.C. 313) when purchasing items using Federal funds. Buy America requires a State, or subrecipient, to purchase only
steel iron and manufactured products produced in the United State with Federal funds, unless the Secretary of
Transportation determines that such domestically produced items would be inconsistent with the public interest, that
such materials are not reasonable available and of a satisfactory quality, or that inclusion of domestic materials will
increase the cost of the overall project contract by more than 25 percent. In order to use Federal fund to purchase
foreign produced items, the State must submit a waiver request that provides an adequate basis and justification to
and approved by the Secretary of Transportation.

3.7 Prohibition of Using Grant Funds to Check for Helmet Usage The state and each subrecipient will not use
23 U.S.C. Chapter 4 grant funds for programs to check helmet usage or to create checkpoints that specifically target
motorcyclists.

proactive enforcement to increase motorists' knowledge about traffic safety risk factors, and deter poor driver
choices/behavior. The purpose of this contract is to reduce crashes, injuries and fatalities associated with impaired
driving and lack of proper occupant restraint through High Visibility Enforcement. The Selective Traffic Enforcement
Program (STEP) funds officer overtime so they can conduct traffic patrols to deter impaired driving and occupant
restraint violations. STEP is used to provide High Visibility Enforcement on local high crash corridors and at high-risk
time frames such as rodeos, fairs, and community events that have a history of high fatality rates and injuries caused by
impaired driving and non -seatbelt usage.
II. Objectives
Provide High Visibility Enforcement through collaboration with other law enforcement agencies during the following:
A. National mobilizations (Winter Holiday, Memorial Day and Labor Day Mobilizations)
B. State high-risk time frames and events (4th of July, St. Patrick's Day)

C. Generate media publicity to enhance the visibility of the extra traffic patrols (see "Earned media" below for
more information).
D. Special focus must be given to impaired drivers and occupants seen not wearing seatbelts.

overtime activities as required.
o A minimum of three patrols must be conducted each quarter.
o A minimum of four additional patrols must be conducted during the national mobilizations and state
high-risk timeframes.
o Each shift should be a minimum of 4 hours long and should not exceed a 12 -hour shift according to
safety guidelines documented by the International Association of Chiefs of Police.
F. We recognize that officers assigned to STEP patrols may be called away to assist other officers with non -traffic
related duties. If these activities comprise of more than a quarter of the shift, please do not include this time in
the reimbursement request.

G. Coordinate and participate in multi -jurisdictional law enforcement efforts in order to maximize the public's
perception that HVE is underway.
Earned media

enforcement activities law enforcement is performing and law enforcement's commitment to traffic safety.
Communication will include acknowledgement of the Montana Department of Transportation's support and funding for
this program.
