N.J. Admin. Code § 15:21-5.3

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 24, December 18, 2024

Section 15:21-5.3 - Eligible project costs

(a) Eligible project costs are enumerated under Section 7 of N.J.S.A. 18A:74-14.

(b) In order to promote the construction of projects in an economical manner, a ceiling periodically shall be set by the State Librarian on maximum per square foot project cost beyond which project costs will not be eligible in the computation of the State share of funding.

(c) Should some portion of the proposed construction be intended for use for other than library purposes, such as municipal offices or a general municipal meeting room, this space may not be included in the computation of available square feet of space. Construction costs relating to these nonpublic-library-use areas are not eligible to be used for matching purposes. The application must clearly designate the nonpublic-library-use areas and their related costs. Reimbursable costs must be reduced by the amount of those related costs. The cost of any shared-space submitted for reimbursable purposes must be prorated on the basis of the percentage of library use, for example a meeting room that will be used 50 percent of the time by the public library is eligible to be reimbursed only 50 percent of those costs.

(d) Costs for renovation of an existing structure to be included together with costs of an addition will be computed separately and not averaged to determine amount of grant.
