§ 13888 Grant Design And Costs

• •Before getting money for a project, you must finish the early plans and guess how much it will cost.
• •The group getting the money must pay for keeping the project running and fixing it later—this cost isn’t part of the project’s price tag.

A city wants to build a new playground.

The city must first draw up the plans and figure out how much the playground will cost before they can get the grant money. After the playground is built, the city has to pay for things like cleaning it and fixing broken swings—the grant won’t cover those costs.
