(a) Within the O&M category, the funds shall be available as follows, except as provided in Sections 4970.15.1(c):
(b) An Application evaluation panel of not less than three (3) individuals shall score each Application deemed compliant with these regulations. The Application evaluation panel shall use the Applicant's responses to general criteria and Project-specific criteria to determine a Project score. The steps for determining the final score are as follows (refer to Table 4 for an example):
| Table 4 -- Example of Score Calculation for GO Projects | ||
| Final Score = Actual Score / Possible Score | ||
| General Criteria | 90 of 120 | |
| Project-specific Criteria | 52 of 55 | |
| (90 + 52) / (120 + 55) = 0.8114 | ||
| 0.8114 x 100 = 81.14% = Final Score | ||
(c) Eligible Projects shall be ranked by score. Projects shall be funded in order of score from highest to lowest until available funds are exhausted, taking into account the Project type funding restrictions in Section 4970.15.1(a). If there are not sufficient funding requests to consume the percentages specified in Section 4970.15.1(a) (1-4), the other O&M sub-category Projects shall receive funding in order of score.
(d) In the event Projects have the same score, Projects will be funded in the order of request amount starting with the smallest request amount. If more than one Project has the same request amount, the OHMVR Division will utilize a "random selection" method to break ties and determine which Project will receive funding.
(e) Projects at the funding cut-off line may require modifications to the Project Description and Project Cost Estimate to reflect reduced available funding. The modification shall be completed prior to the OHMVR Division preparing and executing the Project Agreement.
