Sample of Construction/Expansion of Existing Facility Budget Justification

Organization Name: Family Medical Center (FMC)

Project Type: Construction/Expansion of an Existing Facility

Project Name: Expansion of Family Medical Center

Total ARP-Capital Funding Request = $1,000,000

Total Project Cost = $1,303,100

Family Medical Center’s proposed ARP-Capital project will completely renovate 1,400 square feet within the existing health center and construct a 4,700 square foot addition/expansion. The space will be reconfigured to provide a more controlled waiting area with better circulation and to improve access to the exam rooms, records rooms and patient services. The restrooms will be renovated to comply with accessibility requirements of the Americans With Disabilities Act and local building codes. The addition will add examination rooms, offices, health care support functions, communications and mechanical spaces. The roof above the existing main building will be replaced, a FMC sign will be installed and the entrance of the facility, and moveable medical and office equipment will be purchased. The resulting facility will result in a larger and better organized facility, well suited to delivery services to the patient population.

The total FMC project cost is $1,303,100. This application requests $1,000,000 to support the total construction and equipment cost. The balance of $303,100 will be paid directly by FMC out of funds in hand.

The project is anticipated to begin within 30 days of award and completed and occupied by March 2023.
