revised deadline for submitting applications was November 15, 2006.
The California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) is offering the
Tire-Derived Product (TDP) Grant Program to promote markets for recycled-content
products derived from waste tires generated in California.
Eligible Applicants
Public entities (i.e., California cities, counties, public colleges, public
universities, school districts, qualifying California Indian Tribes, park
districts, special districts, public recreational facilities, fire stations, and
police stations). Only one application per qualifying public entity will be
accepted. An application may include multiple tire-derived products/projects.
Eligible Products/Projects
Eligible tire-derived products are made from 100 percent recycled California
waste tires. Tire buffings are not eligible for reimbursement under the TDP
grant program. Tire buffings may be used in the product/project, but will not be
reimbursed by CIWMB. Note: The application
cover sheet (page 3 of the application) contains a non-inclusive list of
eligible TDPs.
Number of Tires Diverted
- Minimum of 2,500 California tires diverted per proposed tire-derived
products/projects.
- An application may include multiple products/projects to achieve a
combined minimum of 2,500 California tires diverted.
Available Funds
- $2,400,000 for fiscal year 2006/2007.
- $100,000 maximum per grant.
- Up to $7 per tire diverted, with priority given to applications whose
projects have a cost per tire of $5 or less.
Question and Answer Process
Questions were due in writing to CIWMB by August 25, 2006. The question and
answer period is now closed for this grant cycle. All
questions and answers are posted on this site.
During the question and answer period, questions were raised by stakeholders
and potential grant applicants about whether product costs over $5.00 or $7.00
(depending the priority category) may be paid for by the grantee. CIWMB will
reimburse the actual tire-derived product (TDP) material cost per passenger tire
equivalent (PTE) up to either of the two caps of
$5.00 and $7.00, and allow the applicant to absorb any cost differences above
whichever tiered cost per PTE cap is requested.
Example: An applicant, who has not received a TDP grant in the
last two fiscal years, could apply for priority funding consideration for
the first or third tier cost per PTE cap of $5.00, if the actual TDP material
cost per PTE is $5.00 or less, or the applicant is willing to be responsible
for paying any cost differential. An applicant, who has not received a TDP
grant in the last two fiscal years, could qualify for the second or fourth
tier funding priority, if the actual TDP material cost per PTE is $5.01 or
up to $7.00 or the applicant is willing to be responsible for paying any
cost differential.
Application Deadline
The fiscal year 2006-07 application period is now closed. The
revised deadline for submitting applications was November 15, 2006.
