The U.S. Department of Transportation made a grant of $14 million in Fiscal Year 2013 under the Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) program to add eight miles of high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes along the I-90 floating bridge and enhance fire suppression systems in tunnels along the corridor, which connects Seattle and Bellevue/ Mercer Island. The TIGER program was originally established under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA, Public Law 111-5). Grants under this program are subject to Buy America rules, including those set by section 1605 of the ARRA.
The HS codes monitored by the OECD Steel Committee are used to approximate the iron and steel products procured for this project.
