Targeted Rubberized Asphalt Concrete Incentive Grant Program, FYs 2005/06 and 2006/07

Notice of Funds Available

The California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) administers tire grant programs to provide opportunities to divert waste tires from landfill disposal, prevent illegal tire dumping, and promote markets for recycled-content tire products. The Targeted Rubberized Asphalt Concrete Incentive (TRI) Grant Program provides assistance to local governments to fund rubberized asphalt concrete (RAC) projects.

Eligible Applicants

Cities, counties, districts and other local government agencies that fund public works projects are eligible to apply for this grant program.

Eligible Projects

Eligible projects must use a minimum of 3,500 tons of RAC within the jurisdiction. The RAC material must meet American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) D 6114-97 "Standard Specification for Asphalt-Rubber Binder" and use crumb rubber derived from 100 percent California waste tires.

Funding

Three million five hundred seventy-seven thousand dollars ($3,577,000) for FY 2005/2006 and the CIWMB anticipates that two million one hundred eighty-two thousand eight hundred and eighteen dollars ($2,182,818) for FY 2006/2007, will be available for this grant program, subject to passage of the California State Budget Act. For this offering, a per jurisdiction/entity limit based on the following categories applies:

• For southern jurisdictions: one hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($150,000).
• For northern jurisdictions: one hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars ($175,000).
• For rural jurisdictions (statewide): two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000).

The funding request for the project is based on the amount of RAC material used, the differential cost of using RAC in lieu of conventional asphalt concrete and testing costs.

The CIWMB reserves the right to fund individual phases of selected proposed projects and may therefore fund an amount less than requested. The CIWMB will award grants on a priority ranking basis as more fully described in the application.
