Reviews and recommendations

This information was not provided on the original proposals, but was generated during the review process.

Recommendation:
Date:
May 13, 1998

Comment:

Criteria 1: Technical Criteria - Yes:

Criteria 2: Objectives Criteria - Incomplete: Clarify Objective 4. 70% of project is "Maintain and Monitor Leases." Nothing in Methods about this. Surface-groundwater interchange monitoring should be described. Why is only 20% of project for land purchase?

Criteria 3: Milestones Criteria - Yes

Criteria 4: Resources Criteria - Incomplete: Clarify cost of Objective 4 - 350k, Please add a note on why .5 FTE Admin. Support is needed and those services not provided through Indirect.


Recommendation:
Fund (low priority)
Date:
May 13, 1998

Comment:

Budget constraints. Proposal was found to be technically sound and appropriate but was deferred because other work was judged more urgent and funds were not adequate for all needed work.
Recommendation:
Adequate
Date:
Jun 18, 1998

Comment:

The proposal is conceptually sound and is a good idea. The budget should be scrutinized to see if there is duplication between operation and maintenance and indirect costs.
