LCCMR adopts amended RFP funding rule: top five awards trimmed, smaller projects protected
After a lengthy debate, the commission adopted an amended plan for 2027 RFP recommendations that trims the five largest average allocations by 10% and reduces the remainder by about 3.4%, while preserving projects under $300,000; the motion passed 12–2–1.
The full story
Staff presented results from evaluation number two and said the initial agreement left the commission about $6.1 million over-allocated. Staff offered three options for balancing the package; Chair Albright proposed Option 3 (a broad set of smaller reductions that respects ranking and protects small projects). Senator Westrom then proposed an amendment to reduce projects with average allocations above $4,000,000 by 10% (five projects) and reduce the remaining projects by roughly 3.4%, leaving small projects under $300,000 untouched.
