Description [hide this]

The California Fire Safe Council (CFSC), in partnership with Cal Fire and California Climate Investments Program, is pleased to announce the 22 Wildfire CAL FIRE County Coordinator Program-Northern to assist counties with wildfire mitigation outreach and coordination. The objective of the County Coordinator Grant is to educate, encourage, and develop county-wide collaboration and coordination among various wildfire mitigation groups operating within counties. Funded counties will utilize funding to 1) Build a census of all wildfire mitigation groups in their county, 2) Analyze gaps in county-wide wildfire resiliency and emergency preparedness and develop recommendations to fill those gaps, and 3) Develop mechanisms to improve outreach and coordination efforts.

This grant program and publication are funded in full by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) as part of the California Climate Investment Program, under the terms of grant numbers 5GG21100. The opinions expressed are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of CAL FIRE.

The County Coordinator Grant Program is part of California Climate Investments, a statewide program that puts billions of Cap-and-Trade dollars to work reducing GHG emissions, strengthening the economy, and improving public health and the environment--particularly in disadvantaged communities. For more information, visit the California Climate Investments website at: http://www.caclimateinvestments.ca.gov.

Examples of expenditures include time-related to site visits and project monitoring and completion of reporting related to the grant project. Staff time related to accounting, business services, etc. are allowed only if those functions are not included in the grantee's overhead cost. b. Benefits - Employer contribution share of fringe benefits associated with employees (paid from salaries and wages Budget Item) who are directly engaged in the execution of the grant project.

Contractual - Direct consultant and contractual services necessary to achieve the objectives of the grant. Examples of contractual costs will be RPF supervision/certification, professional/consultant services (the costs of consultant services necessary for project planning and implementation), Wildfire Prevention contractor, etc. Procurement of contractual services should be documented to ensure selection on a competitive basis and documentation of price analysis. d. Travel -Travel cost associated with travel to and from project sites, meetings, etc. directly related to the grant project and must be considered reasonable and necessary for the completion of the project. Reimbursement rates shall be consistent with the grantee's written travel policy. Absent a written policy, per diem shall not exceed the California Standard Per Diem Rate allowable by the U.S. General Services Administration. Mileage rates shall not exceed the rates allowable by the IRS. e. Supplies -Supplies that are used in the direct support of the project are allowable. Supplies exceeding $500 per unit cost shall be documented to ensure procurement of supplies on a competitive basis and documentation of price analysis. Supplies include items under $5,000 per unit cost. (e.g., chainsaws etc.) All food costs must be pre-approved and explicitly listed in the Scope of Work, Budget, and Budget narrative in order to be considered an eligible cost. f. Equipment -Equipment is an item of $5,000 or more per unit cost and has a tangible useful life of more than one year. Purchase of equipment not to exceed $750,000. The cost to lease equipment to use in the grant project may be charged to the grant but listed under the ‘Other’ budget category. A cost-benefit analysis to justify the cost of purchasing equipment versus leasing must be provided. Procurement of equipment must be done on a competitive basis and include documentation of price analysis. The grantee must include in the application package the proposed use and maintenance plans for equipment after the performance period of the grant. Disposition of equipment beyond the project performance period is subject to the funder's approval. If grantee fails to complete grant and/or dissolves during grant, equipment shall be returned to the funder. Equipment shall not be used as collateral or other means. g. Other -Other costs that do not fit in any of the above categories. The cost must be directly related to the grant project. A cost (such as rent, utilities, phones, general office supplies, etc.) that must be apportioned to the grant is considered indirect cost unless written justification is submitted and approved by the funder. Use of equipment owned by the grantee may be charged to the grant at a rate set by the California Department of Transportation Labor Surcharge and Equipment Rental Rate Guide. h. Indirect Costs - Indirect Costs are costs associated with doing business that are of a general nature and are incurred to benefit two or more functions within the grantee organization. These costs are not usually identified specifically in the grant agreement, project, or activity, but are necessary for the general operation of the organization. Examples include salaries and benefits of employees not directly assigned to a project; functions such as personnel, accounting, budgeting, audits, business services, information technology, janitorial, and rent, utilities, supplies, etc. Functions included as direct versus indirect costs must be applied consistently for all activities within the Grantee organization, regardless of fund source. The maximum allowable indirect charge for this grant program for all entities including UC’s and CSUs should generally not exceed 12%, unless an exemption is approved by the funder.
