On page 3, the amount requested is entered, and after having completed the computer pages 9, 11, and 12, the amount you need to request and the amount you have as a match, if any, need to match the amount estimated for the project on computer page 2. It is recommended that you print out the request after you have completed computer page 1, and use that to organize your project costs so you’ll have the information you need to enter into eCORTS on those pages.

Planning Cost is a fee for professional services for planning/ designing. This figure should be 10% of construction cost. If you know that planning costs are not 10%, the information may be entered into the comment fields located at the bottom of Page 4 in the Comments Field below the Agency Impact Statement. Miscellaneous or incidental expenses not already listed, including insurance, legal fees and testing are calculated as 10% of construction cost.
