the overall project by more than 25
percent.
Consistent with the direction of the
OMB Guidance at 2 CFR 176.120, EPA
has evaluated the District’s request to
determine if the request constitutes a
late request. EPA will generally regard
waiver requests with respect to
components that were specified in the
bid solicitation or in a general/primary
construction contract as ‘‘late’’ if
submitted after the contract date.
However, in this case EPA has
determined that the District’s request,
though made after the date that the
contract was signed, can be evaluated as
timely because the need for a waiver
was not reasonably foreseeable. During
construction, one of the three bedrock
wells became unstable and required
additional PVC casing to be installed the
length of the well. Due to the additional
PVC casing in the well, the 4 inch
diameter well pump specified during
design could no longer be utilized and
a smaller 3 inch diameter submersible
well pump was needed. The recipient
could not reasonably have foreseen the
need for a waiver prior to the changed
circumstances which developed during
construction. Accordingly, EPA will
evaluate the request as a timely request.
The District is requesting a waiver
from the Buy American provision of
ARRA for one 3 inch diameter, 1
horsepower, single phase submersible
well pump manufactured by Grundfos
Pump Corporation. The unit is
scheduled for installation by the end of
November 2010. During drilling and
pump testing of one of the three bedrock
wells within the well field, a soft rock
layer was discovered in the formation
and the well appeared to be unstable.
An additional 4 inch PVC casing was
installed the length of the well to help
prevent caving and allow flexibility to
install the pump below the soft rock
layer. With the additional casing in
place, the original 4 inch diameter well
pump that was specified during design
could no longer be used as it exceeded
the diameter of the modified well.
The District has researched foreign
and domestic manufacturers of 3 inch
diameter submersible well pumps and
has determined that domestic
manufacturers are not able to
manufacture a well pump that meets the
necessary 3 inch diameter. The District
was only able to identify Grundfos
Pump Corporation that manufactures a
3 inch diameter, 1 horsepower, single
phase submersible well pump.
An evaluation of all of the submitted
documentation by EPA’s technical
review team supports and confirms the
District’s claim that there are currently
no domestic manufacturers that can
provide a submersible well pump that
meets the necessary size constraints.
The consulting engineer for the District
identified three domestic manufacturers
in the United States. None of the
companies currently manufacture 3 inch
diameter submersible well pumps. An
independent review of the submitted
documentation by EPA’s national
contractor found four additional
possible domestic manufacturers.
However, none of the manufacturers
contacted currently provides a product
that meets the size constraints. In
addition, the evaluation of the
supporting documentation
demonstrated that foreign manufactured
3 inch diameter submersible well
pumps are available and will be able to
meet the proposed specifications.
Furthermore, the purpose of the
ARRA is to stimulate economic recovery
by funding current infrastructure
construction, not to delay or curtail
entirely projects that are ‘‘shovel ready’’
by requiring potential SRF eligible
recipients, such as the Woodlake Tax
District, to revise their design standards
and specifications. To curtail entirely
this construction would directly conflict
with a fundamental economic purpose
of ARRA, which is to create or retain
jobs.
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’ ’’
(‘‘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.’’ The same Memorandum
defines ‘‘satisfactory quality’’ as ‘‘the
quality of steel, iron or manufactured
good specified in the project plans and
designs.’’
The Municipal Assistance Unit (CMU)
has reviewed this waiver request and
has determined that the supporting
documentation provided by the District
establishes both a proper basis to
specify a particular manufactured good,

and that the domestically manufactured
good that is currently available does not
meet the 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
temporary authority to issue exceptions
to Section 1605 of the 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 Woodlake Tax District is hereby
granted a waiver from the Buy American
requirements of Section 1605(a) of
Public Law 111–5. This waiver permits
use of ARRA funds for the purchase of
a non-domestically manufactured 3 inch
diameter submersible well pump
documented in District’s waiver request
submittal dated October 19, 2010. 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.
