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 housing project. The worksheet must be filled out and submitted with your application in the Neighborly Software System. Sections of the worksheet that need to be filled out prior to the start of construction, this includes: the "Project Information" tab; answer the three questions listed on the "BABA Applicability" tab (DOH staff will assist with completeing the "General Waivers Section" of this tab, if applicable); and the Product Name column of the "Items Listing" tab. Please update the "Item Listing" worksheet as necessary throughout the application and contracting process to ensure all materials are captured. When the worksheet is updated, please let your Development Specialist and 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.

Insert the list in the first column. Insert additional lines as necessary to include all products in the project. This list of products needs to be included in the worksheet at the time of application submission. List the classification of each item when they are brought onto the project site. Classifications include: "Iron or Steel," "Construction Material" or "Manufactured Product." Ensure you have a copy of the corresponding product's BABA certification.
