Dear Nader Chalfoun and Lena Spiric,
The University of Arizona Green Fund Committee is please to inform you that
“Shading PV Panels for Exposed Duct on South Facade of the College of
Architecture + Planning + Lands,” Item # GF14.20P has been awarded funding
from the Green Fund in the amount of $46,300 allocated over a period of one
year. The amount you requested in your original proposal was $62,900 allocated
over a period of 1 year. This amount differs from the amount requested in the
project proposal. Specifically, the Green Fund removed from the budget funding
for Appointed, Faculty and Classified Regular salary and corresponding ERE, light
fixtures, printing and binding, and deep cycle batteries. This amount also reflects
the decrease in student ERE. The committee will need FM and PD&C to formally
approve project scope and budget before funding can occur. The committee will
also need to have on file, an instillation quote before funds can be released. The
original project description first provided in your proposal was based on full
funding. It stands to reason that if the amount awarded is reduced, the same
project terms and expected outcomes may not necessarily apply. At this time,
the Green Fund is requesting you provide revised terms of your project and
revised project outcomes due to reduced funding. Attached is a form you can
utilize to document your answers.
Also attached is the Green Fund Letter of Agreement. Please print it out, attain
signatures, and return an original signed copy to the UA Office of Sustainability
located at 500 N. Highland Ave in Likings Hall. The building is located on the
Northeast corner of Highland and 6th Street (access on 6th street). Funds will be
dispersed after the signed letter of agreement is received and the Project
Manager attends a Green Fund information meeting. Details regarding this
meeting will be available shortly
Lastly, attached is a copy of your project spreadsheet outlining budget changes.
Please use this spreadsheet as a template for future budget reporting.
You will also receive notice via Green Fund automatic notification that these files
have been uploaded to the public Green Fund Website. If you have any
questions, please contact Julia Rudnick at Rudnick1@email.arizona.edu.
The Green Fund Committee extends its best wishes for the success of your program.
Sincerely,
The University of Arizona Green Fund Committee
