An independent Gulf Coast Fertilizer Manufacturing Feasibility Study evaluating a two-site Gulf Coast fertilizer manufacturing program in Orange, Texas.

ORANGE, Texas — Wert-Berater, Inc., an independent feasibility study consulting firm serving lenders and government agencies since 1998, has completed a Gulf Coast Fertilizer Manufacturing Feasibility Study in Orange, Orange County, Texas.
Wert-Berater served as independent feasibility consultant to the funding agency and any lender of record. Party names are withheld consistent with the confidential nature of underwriting and capital-advisory work; figures represent the project as evaluated at the study date.
A $41,395,349 two-site fertilizer manufacturing program on the Texas Gulf Coast — a new-construction plant in one county paired with an expansion of an existing plant in the next — funded fifty percent by federal grant and fifty percent by applicant match. Because no project debt is proposed, the binding feasibility question is not coverage of a loan but coverage of the match: whether the applicant can actually fund its half, on the schedule the program requires.
A new-construction production facility, an expansion of an existing plant in a neighboring county, and the process, utility, and logistics infrastructure connecting the two into one operating program.
$41,395,349 total project cost — a 50 percent federal cost-share grant against a 50 percent applicant match of $20,697,674.50. No project debt is proposed.
Three items carried the file. First, match sufficiency: the study verified 1.85× coverage of the required match at the study date rather than accepting a certification at face value. Second, cost basis: the budget was tested against front-end engineering pricing rather than allowance figures. Third, downside recovery: the study priced a liquidation floor against total project cost so the agency could see what remains if the program stops mid-construction.
