Total estimated budget

Total FY 2001 cost	$2,289,627
Amount anticipated from previously committed BPA funds	$0
Total FY 2001 budget request	$2,289,627
FY 2001 forecast from 2000	$1,984,864
% change from forecast	15.4%

Reason for change in estimated budget

A portion of the increase was the result of a 5% inflation factor. In addition, there were unanticipated increases in operating expenses, including: filling two key positions with individuals possessing greater experience and expertise than expected, resulting in higher wage expenses than anticipated; and, increased costs for computer system support for the project database and web site, which have become the largest component of the PSMFC Computer Center. A larger portion of the increase resulted from the fact that project staff last year were partially supported by other funding and apportioned their time between StreamNet and other related projects. This year, staff will be focused entirely on Columbia Basin data and services in support of subbasin assessments and planning, modeling, basin wide data management, and other FWP needs and activities.

Reviews and recommendations

REVIEW:
CBFWA Funding Recommendation

Recommendation:
Ongoing Funding: yes; New Funding: yes

Date:
Jul 14, 2000

Comment:

Most of the increase in costs for this project is in the state subcontracts possibly due to the loss of NMFS funding and $100,284 for subbasin planning (new Objective 1, Task F). The ISRP recently completed a review of all data management projects.

There is no change in scope of work.
