Auburn researched additional options for cleaning the settled solids from the storage tank, including tipping buckets, and vacuum flushing, and concluded that the flushing gate system is preferable to the other options because it is more cost effective and allows for lower maintenance and more efficiency in operation due the use of stored CSO volume for cleaning. Auburn has requested a waiver from the Buy American provision for the purchase of a Hydroself model HS40 flushing gate system manufactured in Canada. Auburn stated in their waiver application that they were unable to locate any domestic manufacturers of flushing gate systems. The April 28, 2009 EPA HQ Memorandum, ‘‘Implementation of Buy American provisions of Public Law 111–5, the ‘American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009’,’’ (‘‘EPA Memorandum’’) defines reasonably available quantity as ‘‘the quantity of iron, steel, or relevant manufactured good 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.’’ EPA’s national contractor prepared a technical assessment report dated August 2, 2009 based on the submitted waiver request, identifying two potential domestic suppliers of flushing gates. After being notified of the potential domestic suppliers, Auburn contacted each of them to determine the availability of the manufactured good. The subsequent analysis by Auburn and EPA concluded that neither of the domestic suppliers were able to provide the specified good at the time needed and place needed, and in the proper form or specification as dictated by the project plans and design. Domestic supplier #1 is currently involved in a lawsuit that could stop the manufacturing and sale of the flushing gate. EPA has determined that, under certain circumstances, litigation creates a sufficient basis to render the specified equipment unavailable from a defendant U.S. manufacturer. Specifically, a U.S. manufacturer’s product may be considered unavailable when litigation that may implicate an assistance recipient’s legal rights to use—and consequently may subject the assistance recipient to patent infringement liability for using—the manufactured good being considered for a project has proceeded through initial legal processes, or been pending for a sufficient period of time (to make clear that the litigation will not be dismissed as frivolous). EPA VerDate Nov<24>2008 11:51 Feb 05, 2010 Jkt 220001 reviewed the litigation documentation and concluded that, due to this pending litigation, procuring the flushing gates from domestic supplier #1 would present an unacceptable risk to Auburn, and this impediment thus means that the specified goods are not available from this supplier. Auburn contacted domestic supplier #2, and inquired about their ability to deliver the manufactured good within the project timeline. On September 30, 2009, domestic supplier #2 stated in writing that they could not meet Auburn’s timeline requirements for this project, thus establishing that the flushing gates would not be available from domestic supplier #2. EPA’s national contractor’s technical assessment report from August 2, 2009, did not find any additional domestic suppliers of the specified manufactured good. The purpose of the ARRA is to stimulate economic recovery in part by funding current infrastructure construction, not to delay projects that are ‘‘shovel ready’’ by requiring communities such as Auburn to revise their standards and specifications and to start the bidding process again. The imposition of ARRA Buy American requirements on such projects otherwise eligible for ARRA State Revolving Fund assistance would result in unreasonable delay and thus displace the ‘‘shovel ready’’ status for this project. To further delay project implementation is in direct conflict with a fundamental economic purpose of the ARRA, which is to create or retain jobs. The State and Tribal Programs Branch has reviewed this waiver request and has determined that the supporting documentation provided by Auburn is sufficient to meet the criteria listed under Section 1605(b) of the ARRA, OMB’s regulations at 2 CFR 176.60– 176.170, and in the April 28, 2009, EPA 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 basis for this project waiver is the authorization provided in Section 1605(b)(2) of the ARRA. Due to the lack of production of this product in the United States in sufficient and reasonably available quantities and of a satisfactory quality in order to meet Auburn’s performance specifications and requirements, a waiver from the Buy American requirement is justified. The March 31, 2009 Delegation of Authority Memorandum provided Regional Administrators with the authority to issue exceptions to Section 1605 of the ARRA within the geographic boundaries of their respective regions PO 00000 Frm 00037 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 6203 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, Auburn is hereby granted a waiver from the Buy American requirements of Section 1605(a) of Public Law 111–5 for the purchase of the Hydroself model HS40 flushing gate system using ARRA funds as specified in the community’s request of July 14, 2009. This supplementary information constitutes the detailed written justification required by Section 1605(c) for waivers ‘‘based on a finding under subsection (b).’’ Authority: Public Law 111–5, section 1605.
