RE: Colorado Waste Tire Program Funding for FY 2010/Clean up Contract - # 08-219
The purpose of this letter is to inform you of recent developments which affect the department's ability to
consider Waste Tire Program applications, including Clean-up, Recycling Incentives, and End-
User/Processor.
On August 18, 2009, Governor Bill Ritter announced a budget balancing plan to close a $320 million shortfall
in the current 2009-10 state budget. As part of this plan, $3.6 million has been eliminated from the Waste Tire
Program through the remainder of this fiscal year ending June 30, 2010. As a result, the Waste Tire Clean-
up, Recycling Incentives, and End-User/Processor Programs have been suspended until future revenues
become available.
Upon receipt of this letter, the current contract your local government has through the Waste Tire
program (# 08-219) is formally rescinded and remaining funds have been deobligated. Please
reference the General Provisions for the Recycling Incentive Reimbursement Application;
2. Contract Termination. This Contract may be terminated as follows:
a.) Termination Due to Loss of Funding. The parties hereto expressly recognize that the
Contractor is to be paid, reimbursed, or otherwise compensated with funds provided to the
State for the purpose of contracting for the services provided for herein, and therefore, the
Contractor expressly understands and agrees that all its rights, demands and claims to
compensation arising under this Contract are contingent upon receipt of such funds by the
State. In the event that such funds or any part thereof are not received by the State, the
State may immediately terminate or amend this Contract to adjust the amount payable
hereunder.
At this time, we do not know exactly when applications for these programs will be accepted; however, we will
post information on our website (www.dola.colorado.gov/wastetire) as soon as it becomes available. If you
have any questions, please contact Tamra Hooper, Program Manager, at 303-866-6398. Thank you for your
understanding and patience.
Sincerely,
ca. -Susan E. Kirkpa rick
