A. The amount of RSAF General Grant award granted an applicant will not exceed 50% of the cost of the item(s) except in documented and approved cases of hardship. The amount of an RSAF General Grant award shall be based upon the amount requested for the item(s) and state approved pricing determined by the Office of EMS. The amount awarded will not exceed the amount requested by the applicant.
B. Additional funding may be recommended for those unique situations where the applicant has demonstrated the lack of reasonable capability to generate a 50% match (hardship). The additional funding above a 50% match will be determined by the FARC.
1. Awards identified on the notice of award as being "hardship" (above a 50% match level) require the grantee to purchase from available state contracts.
Awardees, able to demonstrate the ability to purchase at a cost equal to or less than the state contract price, may purchase outside the state contract with prior approval.
2. The FARC shall recommend the percentage of an RSAF General Grant award based upon the review of the application.
