C. Proiect Descrintion and Timetable Please supply a narrative statement that: I . Provides a detailed description of the project, including the reasons for undertaking the project. For development projects, be sure to include a description of the current building conditions, the specific problems that need to be addressed, and the proposed repairs. 2. States the project goals and methodology, and indicates how the project would benefit the State and/or the local community. 3. Lists and describes the products that will result from the project (e.g., county survey, National Register historic district nomination including X number of properties, etc.). 4. Outlines a proposed time frame for the project that includes both starting and ending dates, as well as a breakdown of any "phases" or major parts of the project. Projects with ending dates later than June 30, 2001 cannot be considered for funding. This narrative should be as clear and concise as possible, and should include adequate detail to fully define the proposed scope of work. In most cases, however, this narrative should not exceed three (3) pages. D. Statements on Meeting State Priorities Attached you will find two different lists of priorities which the State has identified to help evaluate proposed grant projects. The priorities are based on federal requirements and recommendations, the Division's own established needs and plans, and public input from constituents throughout the state. It is critical that applicants prepare thorough responses to BOTH the Administrative Priorities and the Architectural and Historical Priorities when completing the application. The responses to these sets of priorities are what the DHPA Staff uses to evaluate and score your proposal. Without clearly detailed and thorough responses, your proposal may not score high enough to receive grant funding. Please contact the DHPA if there is any uncertainty regarding the specific priorities that are applicable to your project. It is unlikely that any single project will address every priority. Similarly, some projects may only partially address certain criteria. When a proposed project does not address a particular criterion, the applicant should respond with "Proposed project does not meet this criterion," or "Not Applicable." Grant applicants should address this section of the application carefully and thoroughly, and should demonstrate to the greatest extent possible how the proposed project relates to the DHPA's criteria. Staff recommendations will be prepared based on the point scores earned through this exercise. Grants will not be made to any applicant scoring fewer than 60 points on the Administrative Priorities. Final authority on distribution of Indiana's grant funds rests with the Indiana Historic Preservation Review Board. A copy of the Division's procedures for the grant selection process is attached (Appendix B). E. Proiect Budget Complete the attached Project Budget form. Be sure to account for the total cost of the proposed project, not just the federal share. Please complete each line, and insert "0" when the budget contains no costs for that particular line -item. If grant funding is offered, reimbursements may only be made for costs incurred in the line -items that include these original budget figures. The budget must be broken down as follows: i. Personnel. This category refers only to persons on the regular payroll of the sponsoring organization. Persons employed on a contractual basis for the sole purpose of working on the grant -assisted project are accounted for in the "Contractual" line -item in the Budget. 2. Frinee Benefits. Fringe benefits for paid personnel are an allowable cost. To facilitate the budget process, fringe benefit expenses are often expressed as a percentage of the "Personnel" cost. 6
