<p class="MsoNormal">Hello Everyone, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In RI we have only had LSTA grant subrecipients purchase equipment for the first time during our ARPA window, and I am wondering if anyone has a good policy for managing subrecipient equipment purchases that they would be willing to share,
in particular management after the initial award period is over. I would like to add a specific policy/set of guidelines to the RI LSTA manual (especially as I approach the 1 – 2 year mark on equipment purchases by subrecipients). I would love to see how other
states handle this. <o:p></o:p></p>
