3,500 |
| 2. Design |

| 4. Paving |
8,000 |
6,400 |
1,600 |

17,000 |

| Total |
$74,500 |
$57,000 |

This example is less successful because it:
- Includes a line item (number 5, $17,000) for Equipment/Misc. More detail is necessary. Costs must be specifically identified. The equipment needed to complete the project was not defined in the narrative of the application and miscellaneous suggests contingency costs which are not eligible
