Guidelines For Project Application And Evaluation

The Northern Larimer County HPP includes lands in game management units 7, 8, 9, and 191. Any landowner or their agent, sportsperson or private or public agency with land interests within the HPP may propose any project for consideration by the committee. The NLCHPP committee shall consider the goals and objectives, prioritization of issues and availability of funding in approving project proposals. The committee is aware that additional issues will arise over the five- year period that this plan covers, and that consequently priorities may change.

Project proposals should be scheduled through the NLCHPP Committee chair for consideration by the committee at least two weeks prior to the next regularly scheduled meeting. Copies of project proposals will be distributed to committee members for their review prior to the meeting. The committee may request an oral presentation of any proposal. The committee reserves the right to delay or reject consideration of any proposal. The committee will give a written response for all proposals submitted.

Various methodologies of information dispersal to potentially interested parties will be examined.

Please read before submitting your application:

When preparing your project application:

• Please note that we utilize three separate project applications; one is for Habitat Projects, one is Fencing Projects, and one is Conservation Easement Projects.
• Please provide as much detail as possible with your application regarding the project description and design, the project benefits, and your estimated costs and materials and supplies needed.  If the Northern Larimer County HPP committee does not have enough information or details from your project application, review or approval of your project could be delayed up to several months while we request further information.  Please review the “sample application” on our website for an idea of the detail that we are looking for in a completed application (note that we have excluded photos, maps, drawings, or figures from the sample application).
• Estimated costs and materials should be broken down and itemized in the application.  Applications also should include design specifications, photos, location maps, figures, drawings, or other attachments as needed for project locations and/or proposed structures.
• For estimated project costs, clearly include and itemize the total project cost, the dollar amount you are requesting from the NLCHPP, and costs that you are contributing for the project (both in-kind contributions or other funding you have obtained).  Note that any future maintenance costs are the responsibility of the applicant and should not be included in the requested funding or total project cost.
• For projects that are approved for funding by the NLCHPP, typical in-kind contributions usually (but not always) amount to half of the total project cost or greater.  In-kind contributions can include the cost of labor (volunteer or contracted) and materials/supplies, or other obtained funding sources (e.g. other grant dollars). 
• See A Sample Application

PLEASE NOTE: You will be required to submit invoices to the NLCHPP Committee in order to receive any reimbursement for projects.
