Tire Grants

Tire-Derived Product Grants (FY 2006/07)

This grant program is designed to promote markets for recycled-content products derived from waste tires generated in California and decrease the adverse environmental impacts created by unlawful disposal and stockpiling of waste tires.

The Board approved award of the fiscal year 2006-07 grants at its January 17, 2007 meeting.

CIWMB has allocated $2.4 million for this cycle. The maximum amount available per grant is $100,000. Only one application per qualifying public entity will be accepted.

The Notice of Funds Available provides more detailed information about eligibility, application procedures, etc.

Application Materials
The application period is now closed for this grant cycle. The deadline for submitting applications was November 15, 2006.

CIWMB received grant applications exceeding its allocation of $2,400,000; therefore, CIWMB held a random selection process on Wednesday, December 6, 2006, at 2:00 p.m. at the Cal/EPA Headquarters Building in the Sierra Hearing Room, to determine what applicants would be recommended for funding and in what order. The public was welcome to attend this meeting or to listen to a broadcast of the process at CIWMB's Public Meeting Broadcast website.

If your organization was not considered for funding at the random selection process, it may be considered for funding in CIWMB’s Tire Reallocation agenda item. For more information, check CIWMB's Board Committee Agendas and Documents.

Question-and-Answer Process
The question and answer period is now closed for this grant cycle. Questions were due in writing to CIWMB by August 25, 2006. 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.

Below is the tentative timeline for this fiscal year.
