Waiver Extension, Warner School District

Procurement Summary

The recipient’s market research was not able to yield product manufacturers who were able to meet the 55% cost of components requirement for the manufactured products or the construction material manufacturing requirements that are required for the project’s completion. These products were found to be manufactured in the United States, but did not meet the 55% cost of components test. Recipient’s market research was also unable to yield certification for spray foam materials. After extensive outreach, no domestic manufacturer was able to provide the materials necessary to meet the BABA requirements for all products specified in this waiver. These requirements are important for the systems total lifetime cost and to meet the owner’s energy savings targets. The grantee is unable to procure the items by the current waiver expiration date. Therefore DOE is proposing a waiver extension request from the grantee to add one year to the expiration date bringing the date to December 31, 2025.
