Proposers must submit a detailed narrative, which demonstrates how costs are related and why they are necessary to the proposed program. Please see pages 11-12 for a detailed narrative on each cost item. a. The narrative must detail the amount of money being requested from Department. The total dollar amount requested from CCDJFS for this project is $550,000. b. The narrative should also describe the reasoning behind percentages of expenses allocated to this program, and the percentage allocations to the Administrative, Direct, and Support categories for each expense. The proposer allocated budgeted costs based on anticipation of how time and other expenses will be spent throughout this project and A-122 cost allocation principles. Detailed timesheets are kept that then allow invoicing based on actual expense vs. budget. To determine percentage allocations to the Administrative, Direct, and Support categories, the job description of each position and each expense was evaluated to determine role played in the project and the allocation was made accordingly. c. If proposer is requesting to be reimbursed on a unit rate basis, the narrative should clearly articulate the desired unit rate and the methodology used in calculating the unit rate. Proposer DOES NOT request reimbursement on a unit rate basis. d. Does the money being requested from Department represent more than 50% of your total program cost? A detailed budget narrative may be found after this section. The total dollar amount requested from CCDJFS for this project is $550,000 or approximately 34.81% of total project costs.
