specification requirements. Based on
additional research by EPA’s consulting
contractor (Cadmus) and to the best of
the Region’s knowledge at this time,
there does not appear to be any other
manufacturers capable of meeting the
City’s specifications.
Furthermore, the purpose of the
ARRA provisions was to stimulate
economic recovery by funding current
infrastructure construction, not to delay
projects that are already shovel ready by
requiring entities, like the City, to revise
their design and potentially choose a
more costly and less effective project.
The imposition of ARRA Buy American
requirements on such projects eligible
for DWSRF 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 the most
fundamental economic purposes of
ARRA; to create or retain jobs.
The Drinking Water Unit has
reviewed this waiver request and has
determined that the supporting
documentation provided by the City is
sufficient to meet the following 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 City’s design
specifications.
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 City is hereby granted a waiver from
the Buy American requirements of
Section 1605(a) of Public Law 111–5 for
the purchase semi-rigid protection
boards for a hot applied membrane
waterproofing system (15,600 sheets
each measuring 391⁄2″ × 80″) for a
reservoir cover, manufactured in Surrey,
British Columbia, specified in the City’s
