Third-party in-kind contributions must be:

I. Necessary to carry out the planning grant requirements outlined in
Part I of this guidebook or the NFIP's Community Rating Systcm
floodplain management planning requirements.

2. Allowable only if the grantce would have had to incur the cost AND
if necessary to carry out the planning grant requirements outlined in
Part I of this guidebook or the NFIP's Community Rating System
floodplain management planning requirements. (A third-part in-kind
contribution of entertainment, for example, would not count because
it would not be allowable if the local jurisdiction had incurred the
cost,)

To determine the value to place on third-part in-kind contributions, simply
ask, "What would it have cost if the local jurisdiction had paid for the item
or service itself?"

Donated Services

.

The value of donated services is determined according to the following
rules:

. Volunteers. Services provided to the local jurisdiction by volunteers
are valued at rates consistent with those paid by the local jurisdiction
to its D,wn employees for similar work. If the grant recipient does not
have employees performing similar work. then the rates ordinarily
paid by other employers for similar work in the same labor market
will apply. In either case, a reasonable amount offringe bencfits may
be included in the valuation.

. Employees of Other Organizotions. When an employer other than
the grant recipient furnishes, free of charge, the services of an
employee, these services are valued at the employee's regular rate of
pay (exclusive of the employer's fringe benefits and overhead costs),
provided these services are in the same line of work for which the
employee normally is paid. If the services are in a different line of
work, the rules for volunteer services above apply.

In either case, donated services are valued at the rate for "similar work",

Donated Supplies and Loaned Eouinment,and Snace

If a 3rd party donates supplies, the contribution is valued at the market
value of the supplies at the time of donation, If a 3rd party donates the
use of equipment or space in a building but retains title, the contribution
is valued at the fair rental rate of the equipment or space.
