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 Town has
incorporated specific technical design
requirements for installation of filter
media at their three Well Houses.
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 utilities,
such as the Town, to revise their
standards and specifications, institute a
new bidding process, and potentially
choose a more costly, less efficient
project. The imposition of ARRA Buy
American requirements on such projects
otherwise eligible for State Revolving
Fund assistance would result in
unreasonable delay and thus displace
the ‘‘shovel ready’’ status for this project.
To further delay construction is in
direct conflict with a fundamental
economic purpose of the ARRA, which
is to create or retain jobs. The OIA has
reviewed this waiver request and to the
best of our knowledge at the time of
review has determined that the
supporting documentation provided by
the Town is sufficient to meet the
criteria listed under Section 1605(b) and
in the April 28, 2009, ‘‘Implementation
of Buy American provisions of Public
Law 111–5, the ‘American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 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 basis for this
project waiver is the authorization
provided in Section 1605(b)(2). 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 the
Town’s technical specifications, 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 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 Town of
Smyrna is hereby granted a waiver from
the Buy American requirements of
Section 1605(a) of Public Law 111–5 for

the purchase of GreensandPlus filter
media using ARRA funds as specified in
the Town of Smyrna’s request of
October 1, 2010. This supplementary
information constitutes the detailed
written justification required by Section
1605(c) for waivers ‘‘based on a finding
under subsection (b).’’
