What are considered ancillary supplies?” Answer: Ancillary supplies are additional low-cost materials or supplies (such as nuts, bolts, screws and washers) necessary to install a weatherization measure and not easily identifiable to a specific measure or dwelling. Costs of ancillary supplies that benefit multiple programs must be prorated accordingly. Costs must be directly associated to net changes in inventory and not associated with materials chargeable to another measure line item. Reimbursement for ancillary supplies is not allowable for subcontractors. 3. “Are employees performing LIHEAP work under this contract eligible for prevailing wage?” Answer: No. 4. “Is there an installation standards manual that describes the minimum measure requirements?” Answer: Yes, the Material Spec sheet is attached.
