FY 2001 forecast from 2000	$3,000,000
% change from forecast	-22.9%

Reason for change in estimated budget

We initially anticipated preparation for construction of facilities (land purchase, site work, etc.) would begin in 2001. Updated projection of construction on this project will not begin until 2002 - see out year budget projections. Capital construction estimates are +/- 35% based on conceptual design in the master plan and will be refined during preliminary and final design steps.

REVIEW:
CBFWA Funding Recommendation

Recommendation:
Ongoing Funding: yes; New Funding: no

Date:
Jul 14, 2000

Comment:

The budget has been adjusted due to a change in the indirect cost rate.

The project sponsors initially anticipated preparation for construction of facilities (land purchase, site work, etc.) would begin in 2001. Updated projection of construction on this project will not begin until 2002 - see out-year budget projections. Capital construction estimates are +/- 35% based on conceptual design in the master plan and will be refined during preliminary and final design steps.

REVIEW:
BPA Funding Recommendation

Recommendation:

Date:
Sep 8, 2000

Comment:

This project shows an ongoing total of $2,309,038 for FY2001. It was not clear that this is "new" money, that is, it was confusing as to whether this amount was to come from the capital construction placeholder. After clarification with Tom Geise of CBFWA, we determined the 2001 request was new money in addition to the placeholder. This needs to be clarified in the budget.
