Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 38, September 20, 2024
Authority staff shall evaluate each Application Form based on
the following criteria.
(a) How well
the Project contributes to both of the following:
(1) Expansion or Improvement of Health Care
Access by children eligible for Governmental Health Insurance Programs and
indigent, underserved, and uninsured children.
(2) Improvement of Child Health Care or
Improvement of Pediatric Patient Outcomes.
(b) How well the Applicant does any or all of
the following:
(1) Provides Uncompensated
Indigent Care or Undercompensated Care to eligible pediatric
patients.
(2) Provides services to
Vulnerable Pediatric Populations.
(3) Promotes Pediatric Teaching Programs or
Pediatric Research Programs.
(c) How well the Applicant demonstrates
Project readiness and feasibility based upon the following:
(1) A project timeline that includes the
following:
(A) An expected start date (e.g.
construction start date(s) and/ or equipment purchase date(s)).
(B) An expected completion date (e.g.
construction completion date(s), acquisition completion dates, and/or equipment
installation date(s)).
(C) Problems
anticipated in implementing the Project and how problems will be managed to
ensure timely completion.
(2) Whether the Project is feasible after a
review of all of the following:
(A) For all
Projects with the exception of equipment acquisition projects, the Applicant
shall submit estimates of Project costs and evidence of property ownership or,
if the property is leased to a Children's Hospital or the California nonprofit
corporation of which the Children's Hospital is an operating entity, a copy of
a lease agreement that satisfies the requirements of Section
7068. The Applicant shall also
provide building permits and/or executed construction, architect, design and
engineering contracts, if available. An Applicant with a Project that does not
yet have an executed contract or building permit but is actively in the process
of obtaining one shall provide a detailed statement that explains the status of
obtaining the document.
(B) For
Projects that include the acquisition of real property, the Applicant shall
submit a copy of an executed purchase and sale agreement or status of obtaining
one or other evidence of site control to the satisfaction of the Authority. In
addition, if the Grant will be used to pay for real property acquisition costs
as part of a larger Project, the Applicant shall provide a timeline that
specifies when the entire Project will be complete.
(C) For equipment acquisition projects, the
Applicant shall submit a specific list of items and cost estimates of equipment
or copies of invoices, and if applicable, cost estimates of installation of
such equipment.
(D) If funding
sources other than the Grant are required to complete the Project, the
Applicant shall provide proof of the funding source, including but not limited
to, commitment letters, board approved capital campaign plans or any other
documentation acceptable to the Authority. Such documentation shall be in
accordance with the Project timeline and budget.
(3) Whether implementation of the Project is
feasible:
(A) The Applicant shall submit a
third-party prepared feasibility study, funding letters or other documentation
to demonstrate that the Project will generate sufficient revenues to provide
on-going support for new or expanded services and/or research programs. If
revenues generated by the Project will be insufficient, the Applicant's
revenues shall be sufficient, as determined by Authority staff, to provide
on-going support.
(B) When
applicable, the Applicant shall submit evidence that it is in compliance with
the California Environmental Quality Act and all other applicable
laws.
(d) The
sources and uses of funds:
(1) The Applicant
shall detail all sources of funds required to complete the proposed Project.
Sources may include, but are not limited to, the total Grant request, borrowed
funds, internal assets, and other sources. If the Project, or a portion of the
Project, has been or will be submitted to other lenders or grantors for
funding, the Applicant shall list them and the status of their
consideration.
(2) The Applicant
shall detail the uses of all funds required to complete the proposed Project.
The total uses shall not exceed the total of all available fund sources. In
some instances, funds from sources other than the Grant may be used for
portions of a proposed Project that would otherwise be ineligible for this
Grant. In those instances, the Applicant shall describe specifically how the
Grant funds, as well as other grants, loans, or internal funds, will be used to
ensure Grant funds will not subsidize Project elements not eligible for such
funds. Where a Project includes elements required to serve non-pediatric
populations, the Grant funds shall be limited only to the proportionate cost of
providing care to the pediatric population. The Authority shall determine the
appropriate manner in which the proportionate share use will be evaluated.
If a proposed Project will benefit both pediatric and
non-pediatric patients, the total Grant for that Project cannot exceed the
proportionate share use of the pediatric population. For such Projects, the
Authority staff shall determine the amount of Grant funds to be awarded based
on proportionate use and any other factors related to improvement of pediatric
population care.

based upon a review of the Most Recent Audited Financial Statements supplied
pursuant to Section
