LOCAL GOVERNMENT WASTE TIRE CLEANUP
MATCHING GRANT PROGRAM
GRANT APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
FISCAL YEAR 1996/97
I. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Public Resources Code Section 42889 (e) authorizes the California Integrated
Waste Management Board (CIWMB) to allocate monies from the California Tire Recycling
Management Fund (Tire Fund) to pay the costs of cleanup, abatement, or other
remedial action related to the disposal of waste tires. At the CIWMB's meeting
of November 20, 1996, Resolution No. 96-523 was adopted, authorizing a $250,000
allocation of Tire Fund monies to establish a Local Government Waste Tire Cleanup
Matching Grant Program for Fiscal Year 1996/97. The grants will be awarded to
local governments on a competitive basis for the removal, transportation, and
disposal of waste tires from "legacy waste tire sites" containing 5,000 or more
waste tires and located within the applicant's jurisdiction. A "legacy waste
tire site" is defined as a waste tire stockpile to which tires are not being
added and from which tires are not being removed as a business activity.. The
grants will require at least a 50% local government funding match of the total
project cost.
Applicant Eligibility
Any local government agency within whose jurisdiction a legacy waste tire site(s)
of 5,000 or more tires has been identified is eligible to apply for a Local
Government Waste Tire Cleanup Matching Grant. All legacy waste tire sites proposed
for cleanup in local government grant applications will require confirmation
by CIWMB staff before qualifying for grant funding. The grants will be awarded
on a competitive basis.
Application Deadline
The Local Government Waste Tire Cleanup Matching Grants application period extends
until Friday, March 21, 1997. Applications must be brought to the California
Integrated Waste Management Board's headquarters in Sacramento by 3:00 p.m.,
Friday, March 21, 1997, or postmarked on or before March 21, 1997. Late
applications will be returned to the applicant unopened and will not be considered
for grant funding.
For additional copies of the Local Government Waste Tire Cleanup Grant application,
contact Michael Keffer at (916) 255-3896.
Grant Funding
Due to the competitive nature of the Local Government Waste Tire Cleanup Matching
Grant program, the maximum amount of grant funding an applicant can request
from the CIWMB will be $25,000. The applicant must provide at least equal project
cost funding to that requested from the CIWMB. Grants will not be awarded to
two agencies within the same jurisdiction (example: City of Sacramento Public
Works Department and City of Sacramento Health Department).
Eligible Projects
Grant funding will be restricted to the cleanup of waste tire stockpiles, identified
as legacy waste tire sites by local government and CIWMB personnel, which contain
5,000 or more waste tires. The cleanup programs must be implemented between
July 1, 1997, and January 1, 1998, and be developed to achieve maximum effectiveness
and efficiency.
Eligible Project Expenses
The following waste tire site cleanup activities are eligible for grant funding:
|
|
The cost for collecting and loading waste tires into transporting vehicles
at a legacy waste tire site |
| |
The cost for transporting waste tires by a waste tire hauler, registered
or exempted by the CIWMB, to a permitted, excluded or exempted waste tire
storage facility |
| |
The cost for disposing of waste tires at a permitted, excluded, or exempted
waste tire storage facility |
Ineligible Project Expenses
|
|
The purchase of equipment for the project |
|
|
Salaries and benefits for personnel not actively involved
in cleanup activities |
|
|
Administrative overhead (costs for rental/lease of space, utilities,
copying, office supplies, etc.) |
|
|
Overtime costs |
|
|
The development and distribution of educational materials |
|
|
Costs for obtaining necessary permits and licenses |
|
|
Activities associated with the preparation of a waste tire
cleanup grant application |
Application Review
After the close of the application period, a panel of CIWMB staff will review
and score each grant proposal. Based on the scoring criteria (Exhibit F), staff
will rank the grant proposals and, as funds allow, present the highest ranked
proposals to the CIWMB for funding approval
Partial Funding of Grants
Grant recipients may receive only a portion of the funds requested if the CIWMB
determines that only part of the proposed project ranks competitively. In this
event, CIWMB staff will incorporate any additional grant conditions and/or changes
into the final agreement. CIWMB staff may require additional information to
accurately assess the revised project. Any such changes will be made in consultation
with applicants whose grant requests have received CIWMB approval.
Grant Contract
Following the CIWMB's approval of the grant awards, the Grantee will receive
a Grant Agreement, Administrative Procedures and Requirements, and Terms and
Conditions. These documents along with the applicant's Project Budget and Work
Statement will comprise the grant contract. The applicant's signature authority
must sign the Grant Agreement and return the document to the CIWMB within 30
days of its receipt. The performance period will be for the 6 month period beginning
July 1, 1997, and terminating January 1, 1998.
Audit Requirements
The Grantee agrees that the CIWMB, the State Controller's Office, and the State
Auditor General's Office, or their designated representatives, will have an
absolute right of access to all of the Grantee's records pertaining to the grant
to conduct reviews and/or audits, including, but not limited to the Grantee's
contractors, subcontractors, vendors, and any entity receiving benefit from
the grant funds. These records pertaining to the grant funds will be made available
to the designated auditor(s) upon request for the reviews and/or audits. Such
records will be retained for at least three (3) years after expiration of the
agreement, or until completion of any action and resolution of all issues which
may arise as a result of any litigation, claim, negotiation, or audit, whichever
is later. If an audit reveals the grant funds are not being expended, or have
not been expended in accordance with the agreement, the Grantee may be required
to forfeit the unexpended portion of the funds and/or repay the CIWMB for any
improperly expended monies.
Exceptions
Any requests for exceptions to the requirements of this application must be
submitted in writing. The request will be reviewed and a determination made
by the CIWMB within 10 working days from the date of receipt. Submit requests
to:
California Integrated Waste Management Board
Tire Unit - MS 24

in the Project Report.
PROJECT BUDGET (EXHIBIT C)
Please refer to the Ineligible/Eligible Project Expenses section of the application
(see page 2), when completing this form. The Project Budget should demonstrate
that the proposed Work Statement (Exhibit B) will be carried out in a realistic
and cost effective manner. Do not request more than the allowable maximum of
$25,000 or what you can reasonably use. All expenses must be itemized and copies
of bids or estimates should be attached when applicable. Applicants are encouraged
to indicate in the Project Report section of the application (see page 4), what
budget items should have funding priority if only a portion of the grant request
is funded. Because these grants are competitive, grant recipients may only receive
a portion of the funds requested. You will not increase the possibility of
your grant request being reduced by indicating funding priorities.
On the Project Budget form, show the costs associated with each component
of the project for which you are requesting grant funds. These components should
have been identified in the Methodology section of the Project Report and listed
in the Work Statement. Complete a separate page for each project component.
For each cost, identify the amount of CIWMB Grant funds contributed and the
amount of Local Government funds contributed. Itemize all costs and group them
under the following Line Items as applicable:
|
|
Personnel - includes salaries, wages, and benefits
for each wage-earning person who is employed by the local government agency
contractor who will be directly involved on site with the removal and transportation
of the waste tires. If removal and transportation of the waste tires is
contracted to a private firm, the cost charged to the local jurisdiction
would likely be based on a per ton calculation, thus only local government
personnel on site during the cleanup activities need to be listed in this
section. Salaries will be calculated by multiplying the number of hours
for each staff member by the salary rate.
Note: Benefits are calculated as a percentage of the salaries
and wages contributed by the employer for health care, retirement, insurance,
etc. Indicate on the form the percentage used to determine benefits, and
multiply the total salaries and wages by the percentage to get the total
benefits. Total Personnel is the sum of salaries and benefits.
|
|
|
Contracts - include contracts with private companies for the
removal, transportation, and disposal of waste tires from the legacy sites.
The transportation of the waste tires must be contracted to a waste tire
hauler currently registered by the CIWMB; the waste tires must be transported
to a facility permitted or excluded by the CIWMB. |
|
|
Equipment - no Local Government Waste Tire Cleanup Matching Grant
funds may be used for the purchase of equipment. Itemize each piece of equipment
to be used on the project and the rental or operational costs requested
for reimbursement with contract funds. |
|
|
Materials and Supplies - include disposable, protective clothing,
gloves, safety glasses that are to be purchased with grant funds for personnel
directly involved in the project. Itemize all of the materials and supplies
by the item to be purchased, quantity, cost per unit and enter the total
dollar amount that will be expended. |
|
|
Other Costs - include training or miscellaneous costs not included
in the above categories. Itemize each cost and include as much detail as
possible such as the type and cost of training and the number of individuals
that will attend. |
|
|
Line Item Grand Totals - Total the Line Items for each applicable
project component on the bottom line. The Project Grand Total is the sum
total of the bottom lines for all project components. |
