*Co-Implementor: a NYS business that implements a Project. The Co-Implementor contracts with an Eligible Entity to use the Program Assistance to achieve project results. Program assistance awards are paid on a reimbursement basis to the Eligible Entity upon verification that the Co-Implementor achieved contractual project outcomes.
In instances where there is a Co-implementor, all project expenditures are initially paid by the Co-Implementor. The Co-Implementor submits financial and reporting documents to the Eligible Entity, who submits the documents to ESD as a disbursement request. ESD reimburses up to 50% of the eligible project costs to the Eligible Entity, who then disburses the ESD funds to the Co-Implementor. Refer to section III(C) Awards for more information regarding Program Assistance payments.
The Eligible Entity must own program-supported assets for the useful life of that asset, on behalf of the private sector Co-Implementor. At the end of the useful life the asset is transferred to the Co-Implementor. The useful life of each funded asset must be mutually agreed upon prior to contract execution. The useful life may be determined by its accounting life for purposes of depreciation; the original equipment manufacturer; or an alternative method mutually agreed upon.
All reimbursable project costs must be directly related to achieving the goal of the approved Project and may include, for example:
Ø Machinery and equipment directly related to the project, including associated engineering, shipping, and professional installation costs. Eligible capital equipment is that purchased for the purpose of collecting, processing, and recycling food waste from businesses, and the distribution of end product(s) such as compost. For this program, any capital equipment must cost at least $10,000.
Examples of eligible equipment include but need not be limited to: processing equipment (e.g. compactor, dehydrator, depackager, windrow turner, grinder, in-vessel composting system), management equipment (e.g. forklift, loader), transportation equipment (e.g. trucks for food waste collection and compost distribution). The cost of installation is eligible for reimbursement and may be included in the total equipment cost, provided it is installed by the equipment vendor or another professional equipment installer
Ø Improvements to real property when the costs are integral to the project outcomes. Improvements, alterations, or repairs to real property may include site preparation; demolition; installation or relocation of utilities; construction materials and labor.
ESD will determine a project’s eligible costs in its sole discretion and may exclude costs as ineligible based on factors that may include, but need not be limited to: insufficient documentation, non-capital expenses, or costs incurred outside of the contract term.
