Bicycle Board Members,
I intend to present to Jeff Mikorski tomorrow, the attached Transportation Enhancement Program Intent to Propose form and the attached Excel workbook that shows the cost estimate basis.
I realize this is a ridiculously short time to ask you to do something and I really expect no reply but if you could do a reasonableness check of the attached and tell me anything that looks questionable, I'd appreciate it.
While on Thursday, I spoke of a 3-year grant, the attached is for a nominal 1-year grant at $132K. I expect if we get it, we could spend all the money in one year, 2013 or spread some of it into future years. In either case, I'm now thinking that a $400K 3-year proposal will be less likely to succeed than a $132K 1-year proposal. If by next October, we get indications that the 1-year proposal might get funded, we will submit another proposal for money in 2014, etc. This is just my intuition which is usually wrong so I'm also open to recommendations about this.
Thanks for all your help on all the Bicycle Board initiatives!
Frank
