Project Name Cost-Benefit Analysis Tool Kit - Phase II

Project Number (if applicable) 99082

Summarize purpose of the contract, including why it was necessary: Agencies for the last fifteen years have had reduced budgets and every new purchase has to have a cost/benefit analysis to justify its dollar value. Managers need a way to evaluate and justify the value of new and even standard products in order to take advantage of them. With a cost/benefit toolkit, the manager would be able to more easily justify to those not familiar with our industry why expenditures need to be made and the benefit they would produce.
