2. The use of volunteer services can become part of the non-federal <br /> match when documented as defined in 44 CFR 13.24 (c) and 13.24 <br /> (b) (6) but can only be used for Categories A and B. The specific <br /> value that can be claimed will be based on an hourly rate or a <br /> production formula, (i.e. the number for sandbags filled and placed <br /> per hour). If completed work was performed jointly by applicant's <br /> labor force, the volunteer services will be prorated when using a <br /> production formula. Use of donated equipment can be applied to the <br /> FEMA rate sheet. Value materials will be based on previous <br /> purchases. <br /> 3. Repair vs. Replacement <br /> Repair is based upon damages to a facility that does not exceed 50 <br /> percent of the cost of replacement to its pre-disaster condition. <br /> Replacement is an option if the cost exceeds 50 percent, However, in <br /> determining the cost, repair expenses are based on materials and <br /> methods to put the facility back to its pre-disaster condition without <br /> including mandatory codes and standards. Replacement costs will <br /> include all codes and upgrade requirements. This will normally result <br /> in most facilities not exceeding to 50 percent since the replacement <br /> costs include additional costs required by rules and regulations. <br /> Dividing the repair costs by the total replacement costs will give an <br /> indication of whether 50 percent has been met. <br /> 4. Relocation of a facility to prevent repetitive heavy damages, if cost <br /> effective, is an option. <br /> 5. Equipment and furnishings, damaged beyond repair, are eligible as <br /> replacement items. <br /> 6. Library books and publications damaged or destroyed are eligible <br /> costs. <br /> 7. Beaches must meet the criteria to be eligible for reimbursement costs, <br /> specifically they must be improved, constructed and maintained. <br /> 8. Restrictions that state inactive facilities and alternate use facilities <br /> may have limited eligibility for reimbursement is based upon actual <br /> permanent use. <br /> E. Allowable costs determinations are established in 44 CFR 13.22 and <br /> OMB circular A-87 <br /> 1. Direct costs include those for equipment using either using the FEMA <br /> Equipment Rate Schedule or actual applicant's rates. These costs <br /> are shared costs. <br /> 3 <br />
