available quantity as ‘‘the quantity of
iron, steel, or relevant manufactured
good that is available or will be
available at the time needed and place
needed, and in the proper form or
specification as specified in the project
plans and design.’’ The same
Memorandum defines ‘‘satisfactory
quality’’ as ‘‘the quality of steel, iron or
manufactured good specified in the
project plans and designs.’’
Furthermore, the purpose of the
ARRA is to stimulate economic recovery
by funding current infrastructure
construction, not to delay projects that
are already ‘‘shovel ready’’ by requiring
potential SRF eligible recipients such as
the HSC to revise their design standards
and specifications. The imposition of
ARRA Buy American requirements in
this case would result in unreasonable
delay for this project. To delay this
construction would directly conflict
with a fundamental economic purpose
of ARRA, which is to create or retain
jobs.
The Municipal Assistance Unit (CMU)
has reviewed this waiver request and
has determined that the supporting
documentation provided by the HSC
established both a proper basis to
specify the particular good required and
that this manufactured good was not
available from a producer in the United
States able to meet the design
specifications for the proposed project.
The information provided is sufficient
to meet the following criteria listed
under Section 1605(b) of the ARRA and
in the April 28, 2009 Memorandum:
Iron, steel, and the manufactured goods
are not produced in the United States in
sufficient and reasonably available
quantities and of a satisfactory quality.
The March 31, 2009 Delegation of
Authority Memorandum provided
Regional Administrators with the
authority to issue exceptions to Section
1605 of ARRA within the geographic
boundaries of their respective regions
and with respect to requests by
individual grant recipients.
Having established both a proper
basis to specify the particular good
required for this project and that this
manufactured good was not available
from a producer in the United States,
the HSC is hereby granted a waiver from
the Buy American requirements of
Section 1605(a) of Public Law 111–5 for
the purchase and use of the specified
polyethylene Biofilm chip carrier
element (media) documented in HSC’s
waiver request submittal dated May 19,
2009, for its proposed wastewater
treatment plant upgrade using ARRA
funds. This supplementary information
constitutes the detailed written
justification required by Section 1605(c)
