Repair vs. Replacement

Repair vs Replacement

HEADNOTES

If the estimated repair cost exceeds 50 percent of the estimated replacement cost, the actual replacement cost is eligible. The Applicant has demonstrated that the cost to repair the Facility exceeds 50 percent of the replacement cost.

CONCLUSION

FEMA finds the Applicant has provided documentation demonstrating the replacement of the Facility and associated revised replacement costs are eligible. Therefore, total eligible project costs for this improved project are increased to reflect the revised replacement cost and will be capped at $4,699,761.91. Accordingly, the appeal is granted.
