Rubberized Pavement Grant Program

Purpose: The purpose of the grant is to promote markets for Rubberized Asphalt Concrete (RAC) products with crumb rubber derived from only California-generated waste tires. The program is designed to encourage first-time or limited users of rubberized pavement in two project types: RAC Hot-Mix and Rubberized Chip Seal. Eligible Projects An application may include rubberized pavement (hot-mix and chip seal) projects for roadways, Class 1 bikeways [as defined in Streets and Highways Code section 890.4(a)], greenways, and disability access at parks. A greenway is a travel corridor for pedestrians, bicycles, non-motorized vehicle transportation, recreation, or a combination thereof, located along natural landscape features, such as an urban watercourse. State agencies are eligible only for projects for Class 1 bikeways, greenways, and disability access at parks. All projects are subject to the following requirements: · The grantee will construct one or more Rubberized Asphalt Concrete (RAC) Hot-Mix or Rubberized Chip Seal project(s) at the location(s) specified in the approved grant application, unless otherwise approved by the Grant Manager. · Only California-generated waste tires that are processed in California shall be used in the crumb rubber portion of the project(s). Recycled end-of-life crumb rubber that meets all specifications and standards can be used, as appropriate with prior written permission from the Grant Manager. · The project(s) must be located in California. · Projects must be owned and maintained by the applicant and accessible to the general public. · Reimbursement will not exceed the amount stated on the Grant Agreement Cover Sheet (CalRecycle 110). · Construction of the RAC portion of any project must commence on or after the date indicated in the Notice to Proceed and be completed by April 1, 2027. · The binder material must contain a minimum of 300 pounds (equivalent to 15 percent by weight) of the tire-derived crumb rubber per ton of rubberized binder. The binder may be either asphalt rubber/field blend or terminal blend. Additionally, the following are project requirements specific to the project type indicated: · Hot-Mix Project: Project(s) must use a minimum of 2,000 tons of RAC hot-mix (1,000 tons for Tribal Entities). · Chip Seal Project: Project(s) must use a minimum area of 40,000 square yards of chip seal material (20,000 square yards for Tribal Entities). Eligible Applicants: · Local Governments as defined in Public Resources Code section 48617. · Other local governmental agencies. · Qualifying Tribal Entities. · State agencies. California Labor Code section 1782 prohibits a charter city from receiving state funding or financial assistance for construction projects if that charter city does not comply with Labor Code sections 1770–1782. Eligible Geographies: The project(s) must be located in California.
