FCS3

Section 3 Scenarios

$35,000 for each shingle roofing product. It is not known what the coating products are and if they use tire rubber. Activity plans prepared during the project will be based on the outline provided. The heart of each Activity Plan will be embodied in three tables: A description of products to be supported by CalRecycle’s FCS Program (including details on product weight, crumb rubber percentages and mesh size, and projected sales and crumb rubber use); Information on anticipated challenges for each product and strategies for timely launch; and a schedule of manufacturer milestones (including consequences for not meeting milestones) and FCS assistance services. For brevity in this proposal, and because of the high- level nature of these scenarios that do not include many details, we present a simplified sample Activity Plan Summary Table here that seems plausible based on the information provided for Scenario A. We have combined all products into this sample plan at a high level. During the project, we envision separating out plans for different types of products.

Milestone, Target Completion Date and Responsible Party*

Activity

Assumed Start Date

March 15, 2022

1. Identify preliminary crumb rubber specification and secure material for testing

1a. Identify preliminary crumb rubber specification by April 1, 2022 (Denise Kennedy with Manufacturer Representative; consultation with an appropriate manufacturer technical assistance or testing services specialist TBD)

1b. Secure crumb rubber material for testing. By April 20, 2022. (Denise Kennedy to provide introductions and facilitate initial phone meetings with potential suppliers and manufacturer representative.) 1c. Initial crumb rubber supplies received. By April 30, 2022 (Manufacturer representative works with supplier) 2. Develop prototype product 2a. Identify manufacturing process concerns and strategies. By May 15, 2022. (Denise Kennedy facilitates phone consultation with technical representative/testing facility and manufacturer.)

2b. Iterative experimentation of prototype production and alternative crumb rubber/compound specifications. June – September 2022 (Manufacturer rep. with assistance/feedback from Denise Kennedy and/or team specialists) 2c. Complete initial prototype ready for independent testing by November 2022 for 8 different products. And this is contingent on the availability of the roofing company’s lab and priority to produce 8 different prototypes. And ABC may have to wait for their customer feedback as well. 3a. Finalize required tests and as possible schedule lab availability. By June 2023 (Denise Kennedy in consultation with manufacturer rep and specialists as needed.) 3b. Complete tests agreed to be covered under FCS for top products. By August 2023. (Lab TBD, facilitation by Denise Kennedy) There is always the possibility that the tests will fail when they go to a lab and then it could take 3 – 9 months to start the process again. Some companies have labs that are able to test at their own facility before going to a lab, but the percentage has been small that have that capability.

3. Conduct independent testing and certifications.
