number from the grant agreement; d) original project completion date; e) percent
of project completed to date or due diligence items completed to date for land
acquisitions; f) reason for delay; g) estimated date of project completion or
closing; and h) estimated date of final report submission to GOCO, if applicable.
c. Staff will notify the grantee via email of the decision to grant or deny the request
for a staff extension.
Board Extensions: If the grantee needs more time than a staff extension would
provide, the grantee must request a board extension. A grantee can request a second
board extension if needed, although this is not a favorable action.
a. The grantee must submit a request for a board extension prior to the original or
staff -extended project completion date.
b. The board will consider the request for board extension at its next scheduled
meeting. Staff will notify the grantee via email of the board's decision to grant or
deny the request for a board extension.
c. Requests for a second board extension must follow all of the procedures listed
above.
To request a staff or board extension, notify your grant coordinator, who will create
an extension request form in GOCO's online portal system for you to complete and
submit.
GOCO expects the grantee to request the appropriate amount of time needed to
complete the project. Failure to complete a project by the original due date, or by any
extended due dates authorized by staff or the board, may result in the de -authorization
of the grant and a suspension from applying in future grant cycles.
