<br />Nursery and Greenhouse Association, Garden Centers of Colorado, <br />International Society of Arboriculture, Rocky Mountain Sod Growers <br />Association and the Golf Course Superintendents Association. <br />o Article submissions to Water Efficiency magazine, Colorado Green magazine, <br />Home Builder magazine, Looseleaf, and possibly Headwaters magazine <br />(published by the Foundation for Water education.) <br /> <br />Task 7. Translation of BMP Manual and Training Materials to Spanish. A <br />significant portion of the green industry's permanent workforce population is Spanish <br />speal(ing. All existing materials related to the BMP Training Program are available in <br />both English and Spanish to afford equal education and learning opportunities for all <br />those who work in the industry. Spanish speaking individuals represent all levels of <br />industry membership, ranging from management to entry-level field personnel. GreenCO <br />will translate the 2008 update of the project into Spanish, and reproduce and distribute 50 <br />hard copies and 500 CDs. <br /> <br />Project Budget <br /> <br />The project budget associated with each task is provided in Table 1. Expenses associated <br />with each tasl( generally include photocopying, postage, mileage, and long-distance <br />phone charges. See supporting Table 1a for expenses associated with reproduction of <br />hard copy BMP manuals and CDs, and postage for mailing to industry members, local <br />governments and other targeted entities. See Table 1 b for estimated labor expenses for <br />Spanish translation of project materials. See Table Ie for consultant hours estimated for <br />this project. Wright Water Engineers billing rates are attached separately and are the <br />basis for the labor costs in Tasks 1-6. <br /> <br />Matching funds will be based primarily on in-l(ind contributions of time and expertise <br />from industry representatives, GreenCO staff, and GreenCO Board members. For <br />comparison, during the 2004 319 grant funded project, in-kind contributions totaled <br />approximately $18,000 for the BMP manual update and training program development; <br />thus, GreenCO has a strong track record in generating matching funds. A significant <br />portion of matching funds will be based on GreenCO staff time contribution from Brenda <br />O'Brien, estimated at $10,640, with $13,640 based primarily on industry representatives' <br />participation in advisory meetings, phone interviews, e-mail correspondence, and draft <br />worl( product review. The remaining $1,360 will be provided based on a 25 percent in- <br />kind match provided by the Spanish translation contractor, Total Translations and <br />Transcultural Services. <br /> <br />GreenCO Grant Application <br /> <br />Page 6 <br /> <br />August 28, 2007 <br />
