The applicant may request additional funding if the total actual cost of all its small projects combined exceeds the total amount obligated for all of its small projects. The applicant should engage the recipient and FEMA as soon as it identifies a change to the scope of work. The invoice associated with additional vegetative debris removal does not include any information such as the quantity of trees removed or their exact location. The Applicant has not demonstrated that the claimed additional $8,600.00 in contract costs was for work in the approved scope of work. The approved scope of work did not include any estimated project management costs, and the Applicant did not submit a written request to include project management costs under PW 103 before it completed the work.
The requested costs for debris removal and professional services are not tied to the approved scope of work. Therefore, this appeal is denied.
