Only written vessel inspections using the State Parks inspection form meet grant requirements. This is a <br /> change from previous grant requirements which allowed visual spot inspections to count the same <br /> as a written inspection. Only written vessel inspections will meet grant requirements in 2014. In <br /> addition, State Parks requires an average of at least 1 inspection per patrol hour. This amount DOES <br /> NOT INCLUDE visual spot inspections. <br /> Special Requirement <br /> All agencies that receive federal grant funding will be required to participate in Operation Dry Water, a <br /> nationwide campaign by the National Association of State Boating Law Administrator's (NASBLA). Its <br /> purpose is to emphasize the detection and enforcement of boat operators under the influence (BUI), to <br /> reduce the number of alcohol-related accidents and fatalities, and foster a stronger and visible deterrent to <br /> alcohol use by boat operators. <br /> More information will follow or visit http://www.operationdrvwater.ord. <br /> Completing the Application <br /> The grant application is included with this notice. Handwritten applications will not be accepted. Provide <br /> all requested information or it may delay or reduce your award. Be sure that you review and complete it <br /> carefully as it will become the legal obligation binding your agency to perform to the terms of the grant. <br /> Your completed application information will be used to measure your accomplishments and compared <br /> with your invoices for reimbursement. <br /> Please note that we are asking you to estimate your patrol schedule for the year, including the total <br /> number of hours, and the number of written inspections that you will complete. Attachment#1 shows the <br /> total number of written inspections and on-water law enforcement hours for patrol completed by each <br /> program during FFY13 (October 1, 2012 to September 30, 2013). State Parks requires an average of one <br /> inspection per hour of patrol. We request this is taken into consideration when setting goals. Agencies <br /> should be sure to include this requirement when determining the goals they plan to achieve. <br /> Grant Notification <br /> Agencies will be notified electronically with a Letter of Award by March 17, 2014 that will be sent to the <br /> primary and secondary contacts listed on your application. <br /> Allowable Expenditures <br /> Allowable expenditures are based on elements in WAC 352-65-040. See the grant application for specific <br /> information. NEW FOR 2014: Two significant changes have been made in the areas of officer salaries <br /> and training. See pages 8 and 9. <br /> Billing <br /> The same billing process used last year will continue. Invoices for reimbursement may be submitted <br /> monthly or quarterly. Reimbursement for expenditures in previous quarters will not be accepted and will <br /> not be considered within the terms of the agreement. To avoid rejected invoices for reimbursement, your <br /> agency is responsible to send this message to finance personnel who submit your reimbursement requests. <br /> We will provide an A-19 Invoice Voucher for listing program expenditures by category. When preparing <br /> the A-19, all expenditures must support the RBS mission. Detailed explanations must be provided for the <br /> purchases of equipment and maintenance that occurred during the quarter or month submitted. Boating <br /> 3 <br /> 74 <br />
