PROJECT BUDGET (cont.) G. BUDGET DETAIL: Provide a detailed, line-item budget using the worksheet format shown below. Provide accurate calculations to justify the cost of each budget line-item. Round only the subtotals for each Budget Category amount to the nearest whole dollar value. Use additional lines if necessary. For each budget line-item, identify in the appropriate column if the cost is: 1) Grant or match, 2)a direct cost used to calculate Indirect Costs (if approved)and 3)whether the cost is Administrative in nature. Up to 10%of grant funds may be used for administrative expenses, excluding the cost of meeting the reporting requirements of the program. Administrative costs are allowable, reasonable, and allocable direct and indirect costs related to overall management of the awarded grant. A description of what is required for each Budget Category is as follows: 1. Salaries- Identify the persons to be compensated for work on this project by name (if known), position, and title. Show the hourly cost and total hours to be charged for each person or position. Divide annual salaries by 2080 hours and nine month academic salaries by 1560 hours, to find the hourly rate. 2. Fringe Benefits- Multiply the rate by the total salaries to which fringe benefits apply. If the rate is variable, explain and show calculations. 3. Travel- List trips by their purpose and/or destination. Indicate the number of days for each trip and the per diem. The Commission can only pay for travel at the approved State of Florida rate (Section 112.061, Florida Statutes). Be prepared to provide the Commission with details on costs utilized to calculate the"Amount Budgeted" for each trip. 4. Supplies & Other Expenses - List expendable supplies by category description, unit costs and quantity. List other expenses not included in any of the above categories. Examples would be printing, copying, postage, communications, etc. Non-expendable equipment valued at less than $1,000 may be listed also. Include only expenses directly related to the project, not expenses of a general nature. 5. Equipment- List non-expendable personal property/equipment valued at$1,000 or more by description, unit cost, and quantity. Computers and data-processing equipment should be described in detail. 6. Contractual Services- Subcontractors should provide the same information required by this budget table, with the following exceptions: (a)when professional services are provided at a pre-existing approved rate or fee shown on the budget; or(b) the subcontract is to be obtained competitively. For either(a) or(b), show an estimated maximum amount. 7. Indirect Costs/Rate—The FECC prefers that Indirect Costs, if required, are utilized as match. If Indirect Costs are requested to be reimbursed with grant funds, they must be authorized and based on a specified rate in consultation with the Commission. The Indirect Cost Rate and the direct costs upon which the amount of Indirect Cost is calculated must be reasonable, measurable, documented and the Indirect Cost Rate must be consistently applied. Indirect Costs are included in project Administrative expenses as described above. 8. Total Budget Category—Show the total of all line-items within a Budget Category. 9.
