Other USGS services that are critical to the jointly funded work — such as facilities support, quality assurance, quality control, technical training, and science support — are now supported by other USGS funding as listed in the table above. The net effect of this change is a reduction in the percentage of the total program costs provide on the JFA via USGS FMF. Please note that we have implemented the Prioritization Plan for Cooperatively Funded Streamgages in Colorado. In accordance with the Prioritization Plan, the ranking of the gages covered by this agreement is "Low", "Medium", and "High" and Federal Matching Funds have been applied accordingly. Also note that all water quality activities are currently receiving 35.58% Federal Matching Funds. Work performed with funds from this agreement will be conducted on a fixed -price basis. The results of all work under this agreement will be available for publication by the U.S. Geological Survey. If this proposal is satisfactory, please sign both copies of the JFA; keep one for your files; and return the remaining one to this office.
