Current through June 25, 2024
The estimated and final allowances will be determined in
						accordance with this Subchapter. All allowance percentages will be calculated
						to four decimal places using linear interpolation. The allowance amount is
						computed by applying the resulting total allowance percentage to the initial
						allowable building cost, which is the initial award amount of all prime
						contracts for construction, equipment, supplies, and testing of the
						project.
The estimated allowances are to be based on the estimate
						of the initial allowable building cost from the Subgrant Agreement Attachment
						B.
Following execution of the Grant agreement, the Grant
						recipient may request and receive payment for the facilities planning and
						design allowance and the allowance for construction phase professional
						services, in accordance with the procedures described in Rule
						5.3.21.3 of these regulations.
						Advances of allowances will not be provided.
