BUDGET JUSTIFICATIONS

TRAVEL
It is anticipated that provincial meetings and workshops will be conducted in Portland, Oregon, and Boise, Idaho during the contract period that are critical to contract management and future funding.  The project leader will be expected to attend meetings in order to coordinate the objectives of this project with the goals of the Mountain Snake Province and the NWPPC program and other regional partners.  In addition, to meet requirements of BPA to improve data storage methods and accessibility, the project manager or the project assistant may require a coordination meeting with StreamNet in Portland to work out how this might be achieved.  

The total travel to Portland will require 1 airline ticket and hotel room for the equivalent of 4 nights.  The same will be required for travel to Boise.
Per Diem with Motel:  Inter-office project coordination meetings will require travel within the Nez Perce Treaty Territory.  

VEHICLES
ATV servicing: Required at the end of the field season.
