*If tribal monitoring costs are expected, they must be included under “miscellaneous costs,” additional federal funds to help cover these costs may not be requested after the application is submitted.

**2 CFR 200 states the contingency amounts "must be estimated using broadly accepted cost estimating methodologies, specified in the budget documentation of the Federal award." The applicant must, using their 424C cost categories, state what the contingencies are under each category and note how each was determined; typically, contingencies are not the same rate for all cost categories. Please also identify who determined these rates, such as a city estimator. If it is an engineer/architect, documentation that they are licensed and attest to the contingency rates must be included with the application.
