4	1	Instructions
5		The project Items BABA Status Worksheet contains five (5) tabs: "Instructions", "Project Information", "BABA Applicability", "Items Listing", and "Waivers". Each tab contains information essential to administering the BABA requirements for your infrastructure project as defined by HUD. The worksheet must be filled out and submitted with your application in the Neighborly Software System. Please update the "Item Listing" worksheet as necessary throughout the application, contract drafting, and construction processes to ensure all materials are captured. When the worksheet is updated, please let your Asset Manager know. Copies of all BABA certifications will need to be provided to your Asset Manager for all materials that need to be BABA compliant. These certifications will be required to be submitted to your Asset Manager on a quarterly basis via the required quarterly report in the Neighborly Portal. The final retainage will not be approved until your Asset Manager is satisfied that all products in the project that should be BABA compliant have the appropriate certifications.
