Rule 413-7-1-.09 - Awarding of Funds(1) Award limits will be based on the number of counties that receive new or enhanced broadband services through a particular project as follows: a) one county - maximum of $200,000 per project; b) two counties - maximum of $400,000 per project;c) three or more counties - there will be no maximum. These limits can be waived upon recommendation of the Director of the OneGeorgia Authority.(2) Once selected for funding, awarded funds will be made available by the OneGeorgia Authority or its Agent through an award contract incorporating by reference the approved final application and adding any special conditions that may be necessary or appropriate. As part of the award conditions, recipients must file a report on the impact and performance of the project, in a format prescribed by the OneGeorgia Authority or its Agent.(3) The OneGeorgia Authority or its Agent may approve an award subject to certain general or special conditions that will be incorporated into the award document. Because of the limited amount of funds available, the One Georgia Authority or its Agent may also award an amount less than the amount requested in the application. Applicants will have thirty (30) days from the date of award to accept any special conditions and/or the reduced award amount. If the applicant fails to accept the special conditions or lower award amount within the required period, the OneGeorgia Authority and/or the Agent with OneGeorgia Authority approval may unilaterally withdraw the award.(4) The OneGeorgia Authority or its agent will provide recipients with specific instructions and forms to be used for drawdown of funds awarded under the award contract.Ga.
