Total estimated budget

Total FY 2001 cost	$3,693,274
Amount anticipated from previously committed BPA funds	$2,941,376
Total FY 2001 budget request	$751,898
FY 2001 forecast from 2000	$725,000
% change from forecast	3.7%

Reason for change in estimated budget

Nez Perce Tribe indirect costs increased from 22.9% to 26.61%. Additional Administrative support personnel have been added, increasing salary and fringe costs. As fish production increases, additional rearing and tagging costs were added. Delays in completion and approval of final design have pushed construction of production facilities to FY2001 or FY2002.

Reason for change in scope

There has not been a change in scope of the overall project. Delays in completing the design and construction of production facilities has resulted in budget changes only.

Recommendation:
Ongoing Funding: yes; New Funding: no

Date:
Jul 14, 2000

Comment:

Proposed $2,941,376 in FY 2000 carry forward. The budget has been adjusted due to a change in the indirect cost rate.

Additional administrative support personnel have been added, increasing salary and fringe costs. As fish production increases, additional rearing and tagging costs were added. Delays in completion and approval of final design have pushed construction of production facilities to FY2001 or FY2002.

There has not been a change in the scope of the overall project. Delays in completing the design and construction of production facilities have resulted in budget changes only.
