Budget, version 3, April 12, 2005
Here is the revisited budget:
>
> 2 cob benches @ $500 = $1000
> Dialogue Dome = $3000
> Smaller dome over oven = $1000
> Cob oven = $750
> Landscaping = $500
> Construction labor = $4500 (no Assistant and Site Liaisons)
> Misc. + overrun = $1000
>
Total Construction Cost = $11,750
>
> I determined these material costs by using many of the same detailed numbers
> listed in the March 25 budget, but I eliminated the expensive finish stone
> and made some other minor adjustments based largely on my intuition of
> reasonable costs.
>
These costs can be covered by the following revenue:
>
> Donated materials = $700
> City Repair allocation = $3500
> OSD Grant = $7000
> PSU fund raising or grant = $550
>
Total Revenue = $11,750
>
> Notice I'm proposing that the PSUrth students raise $550 somehow.
>
Now, the total project budget would actually have to include matching in-kind
> services as per my email attachment to OSD (April 6, 2005), as follows:
> in-kind design services = $9600
> in-kind PSU staff time = $480
>
total in-kind services = $10,080
>
So, the total project budget is $11,750 (construction costs) + 10,080 (design services, etc.) = $21,830.
