FMPP Last revised 6/05/2015 If you award funds to subrecipients, you as the pass -through entity are responsible to determine how your subrecipients use program income. Uses of program income in accordance with 2 CFR §200.307(e) must be included in your program announcement or award terms and conditions. If you do not specify how your subrecipients must use program income, the program income is added to funds committed to the total project costs and should be used to further eligible project or program activities.

The State will comply with 2 CFR §200.322 PROCUREMENT OF RECOVERED MATERIALS and ensure that every purchase order or other contract includes any applicable provisions described in Appendix II of 2 CFR §200. • Al! other non -Federal recipients and subrecipients, including subrecipients of a state must follow 2 CFR §200.318 GENERAL PROCUREMENT STANDARDS through §200.326 CONTRACT PROVISIONS. The requirements of the Federal award also apply to any subcontract. You are responsible to ensure that all of your contracts made under this AMS-Federal award contain the applicable provisions described in Appendix II of 2 CFR §200. Using this formula and based on this example, a recipient who has $90,909 in direct costs could have up to $9,091 in indirect costs, and a total of $100,000 as "Requested Federal Funds." Direct charging of these costs may be appropriate where the following conditions are met: 1. Administrative or clerical services are integral to a project or activity; 2. Individuals involved can be specifically identified with the project or activity; 3. Such costs are explicitly included in the budget or have the prior written approval of the Federal awarding agency; and 4. The costs are not also recovered as indirect costs. FMPP Last revised 6/05/2015 Indirect costs (also known as "facilities and administrative costs" —defined at 2 CFR §200.56) represent the expenses of doing business that are not readily identified with a particular grant, contract, project function or activity, but are necessary for the general operation of the organization and the conduct of activities it performs. Refer to 2 CFR §200.413 and 414 for additional information on determining if costs charged to the award are direct or indirect. If an applicant has a negotiated indirect cost rate greater than 10 percent of total direct costs, the applicant must submit a copy of their approved Indirect Cost Rate Proposal to substantiate its request for the establishment of an indirect cost rate above 10 percent as described in appendices below. If an applicant chooses to negotiate for a rate, the applicant must contact the cognizant agency for indirect costs. The cognizant agency is determined by calculating which Federal agency provides the most grant funding. For assignments of cognizant agencies see the following: (a) For IHEs: Appendix III to Part 200 —Indirect (F&A) Costs Identification and Assignment, and Rate Determination for Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs), paragraph C.11. (b) For nonprofit organizations: Appendix IV to Part 200 —Indirect (F&A) Costs Identification and Assignment, and Rate Determination for Nonprofit Organizations, paragraph C.12. (c) For state and local governments: Appendix V to Part 200—State/Local Government -wide Central Service Cost Allocation Plans, paragraph F.I. (d) For Indian tribes: Appendix VII to Part 200 —States and Local Government and Indian Tribe Indirect Cost Proposal, paragraph D.I. The following table summarizes allowable and unallowable costs in common categories of AMS project budgets. This section is not intended to be all-inclusive.

If this occurs, it is acceptable to combine several prior approval requests into one request. The requests must contain the required information listed in the applicable sections below. AMS will confirm receipt of the request, review the request, and communicate with the recipient project coordinator if there are questions or concerns. The recipient project coordinator will have the opportunity to revise the prior approval request to address the questions and concerns. Once approved, AMS will email the recipient project coordinator with the approval. If you have a question concerning prior written approval, contact the appropriate AMS grant program representative identified in your award letter. You must request prior written approval if there is a change in the recipient project coordinator listed in the approved project. The request must contain: 1. The name of the recipient project coordinator being replaced and the new recipient project coordinator, name and contact information; 2. The qualifications of the new recipient project coordinator; 3. The capacity in which the new recipient project coordinator will serve; 4.

The request for prior written approval for allowable pre -award costs must include the following information: A brief description of the pre -award activities completed; and An updated budget, using the Project Budget Request Form, clearly indicating the associated dollar amount of award funds. Note that AMS is under no obligation to reimburse such costs if for any reason the applicant does not receive an award or if the award is less than anticipated and inadequate to cover such costs. Similarly, the incurrence of pre - award costs in anticipation of an award imposes no obligation on AMS to award funds for such costs or to reimburse applicants for such expenses in the event their project is not selected for funding. If an applicant has incurred expenses during the pre -award period that are not covered in the approved budget, AMS does not have any obligation to reimburse applicants/recipients for such expenses. 107 ContractingOut or Otherwise Obtaining the Services of a Third Party to Perform Activities that are Central to the Purposes of the Award You must request prior written approval for a change that involves subawarding, transferring or contracting out of any work under a Federal award.

The change may occur either due to: (a) a change in the recipient organization in the event a completely new organization assumes responsibility for the project; or (b) A change in the name of the recipient organization in the event the original recipient organization changes only their name. Contact the appropriate AMS grant program representative identified in your award letter for guidance about the requirements for reporting the change. If due to extenuating circumstances, a project must be extended beyond the performance period stated on the AMS-33, recipients should see section 10.4 One -Time Extension. Additional performance reports may be necessary depending on the length of the time extension. If performance reports are prepared by a third party and/or subrecipient, it is your responsibility to review and approve the report before forwarding it to AMS. Interim Performance Reports track the progress of an award throughout the performance period. The six-month performance report and interim SF -425 are due within 30 days after each six-month performance period. Your interim performance report due date schedule is: FMPP 16 Last revised 6/05/2015 • a a a o s a - a s 0 -�. 1StInterim9/30/2015 to 3/31/2016 4/30/2016 Interim 4/1/2016 to 9/29/2016 10/29/2016 3`d Interim 9/30/2016 to 3/31/2017 4/30/2017 Refer to the Interim Report form/format for report content. The interim performance report should be emailed to the appropriate AMS grant program representative as indicated in your award letter. AMS will confirm receipt of the interim performance report, review it, and communicate questions or concerns. The recipient project coordinator may revise the report to address the questions and concerns. Accepted Interim Reports will become part of the official grant file. If you complete your grant project early, you may submit a Final Performance Report in lieu of an Interim Performance Report. See 11.2 Final Performance Reports. Final Performance Reports are required no later than 90 days after the performance period expiration date. Your final performance report is due by December 29, 2017 unless AMS grants an extension. Information from your Final Performance Report will be posted on the AMS website. The form/format to be used and the information to be included in the performance report are specified in the form at www.ams.usda.gov/FMPPForms. The final performance report should be emailed to the appropriate AMS grant representative as indicated in your award letter. AMS will confirm receipt of the final performance report, review it, and communicate with the recipient project coordinator regarding questions or concerns. The recipient project coordinator may revise the report to address the questions and concerns. AMS will review performance reports to ensure completeness and that there is substantial progress toward meeting the project goals and measurable outcomes. AMS will notify the recipient project coordinator if additional information is required. The recipient project coordinator is responsible for adequately addressing all AMS comments and questions prior to sending the revised performance report. If you are a pass through entity, ensure that subrecipients are aware that after AMS reviews their performance report, additional information may be required. Accomplishments, procedures, and other benefits resulting from the Federally -funded project may be made available publicly through online posting, as well as through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. The AMS website is the primary means to distribute final results of each Federally -funded grant project, although additional proposal/project information, within the regulations, will be released under the FOIA. Since the information will be made public, particularly the information contained in the Final Performance Reports, AMS encourages you to eliminate as many grammatical and spelling errors as possible in your submitted forms and materials. AMS will not edit the reports beyond checking to ensure that the content is complete, including inclusion of activities and outcomes associated with each project. Should AMS find that the report is incomplete, FMPP 17 Last revised 6/05/2015 you will have the opportunity to revise the report and to address questions and concerns prior to the information being made available through the AMS website. Grant recipients are prohibited from using federal funds to conduct any activity that is false, misleading, or disparaging to agricultural commodities, nor are you allowed to disparage the mission, goals, and/or actions of another organization or individual in performance reports or through other means. The term "PII," as defined in OMB Memorandum M-07-16 refers to information that can be used to distinguish or trace an individual's identity, either alone or when combined with other personal or identifying information that is linked or linkable to a specific individual. Non-PII can become Pit whenever additional information is made publicly available — in any medium and from any source — that, when combined with other available information, could be used to identify an individual. Reports submitted to AMS must avoid use of Protected PII, including use of an individual's first name or first initial and last name in combination with any one or more of types of information, including, but not limited to, social security number, passport number, credit card numbers, clearances, bank numbers, biometrics, date and place of birth, mother's maiden name, criminal, medical and financial records, educational transcripts, etc. Personal contact information included in the Final Report should be limited to the recipient project coordinator name, e-mail address, as well as organization name, physical address, and telephone number. As stated in 2 CFR §200.328, events may occur between the scheduled performance reporting dates that have significant impact upon the project. In such cases, you must inform AMS or the pass -through entity as soon as you are aware of problems, delays, or adverse conditions, preferably no less than 14 calendar days from the due date. This disclosure must include a statement of the action taken, or contemplated, and any assistance needed to resolve the situation. If AMS detects a recurring issue of late report submissions, enforcement actions as described in section 17.0 Remedies for Noncompliance may be. taken. You and/or your subrecipients are not required to acknowledge USDA, AMS support through oral or written presentation; however, if you or your subrecipient chooses to add an acknowledgement of support, it must read as follows: This publication [or project] was supported by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Agricultural Marketing Service through grant [Insert Agreement Number].

FMPP 19 Last revised 6/05/2015 If the special purpose equipment or supplies have a per -unit fair market value of $5,000 or more, and the equipment or supplies are no longer needed for the original project or program or for other activities currently or previously supported by a Federal awarding agency, you or your subrecipient may retain the equipment and supplies or they may be sold. In this case, you as the recipient or as the pass -through entity must complete a Tangible Personal Property Final Report (SF -428-B) and email it to the appropriate AMS grant program representative as indicated in your award letter as a written disposition request/report. AMS will review the request and provide you with disposition instructions for the special purpose equipment and/or supplies. The disposition instructions will notify you that AMS is entitled to an amount calculated as follows: AMS Amount = Current Market Value or Proceeds From Sale of Equipment or Supplies x Percentage of AMS Participation in the Cost of the Original Purchase If the equipment and/or supplies are sold, you or your subrecipient are permitted to deduct and retain from the Federal share $500 or 10 percent of the proceeds, whichever is less, for its sale and handling expenses.

Project deliverables must be submitted electronically. If, for example the deliverable is an object that cannot easily be shared electronically (e.g., non -electronic promotional items), the recipient should take a picture of the object and send it to grant staff as part of the report. 2) Final Federal Financial Report (SF -425) (see Section 5.0) 3) Request for Final Advance Payment or Reimbursement (SF -270) (see Section 4.2 and subsections) 4) If applicable, a refund check, made out to the Agricultural Marketing Service, for any unused funds (see Section 15.2). 5) Tangible property report (SF -428 B) (if applicable) (see Section 13.1) Requirements for Reapplication Future eligibility for AMS competitive grants requires that you submit all of the required close-out documents for your current grant award, including AMS receipt and approval of all required documentation and reports. Additionally, you must be in good standing with AMS, which includes meeting reporting deadlines and reliably communicating with grant program staff as necessary. Upon receiving and accepting all close-out documents, AMS will issue a close-out letter. Failure to submit acceptable close-out materials for an existing grant within 90 days following the grant ending date may result in exclusion from future AMS grant consideration. Before submitting an SF -425 for a grant that has been completed or terminated, you must liquidate all obligations no later than 90 days after the grant ending date. If you have a balance of funds that AMS disbursed to you previously that you did not obligate by the grant ending date, you must return these funds to AMS. AMS's request to return an unobligated balance following expiration or termination of a grant is not considered an adverse action and is not subject to appeal. Return the funds payable by check to the "Agricultural Marketing Service." Because packages sent to AMS through the United States Postal Service may be damaged or delayed due to security procedures at USDA Washington, D.C. headquarters, the use of express mail or courier services is required.

See 2 CFR §200.333 for exceptions and qualifications to the 3 -year retention requirement and the retention period for other types of grant -related records, including property records. Disallow Costs AMS may disallow (deny use of funds) for all or part of the cost of the activity or action not in compliance. You may appeal this decision by submitting a written request to AMS per section 18.0 Appeals of this document. Withdrawal of Authorized Personnel Approval AMS may withdraw its approval of the recipient project coordinator and/or other project representatives if the Agency concludes that they are no longer qualified or competent to perform. If this occurs, AMS may request that you designate a new recipient project coordinator or other key personnel. The decision to impose special conditions by withdrawing approval of the recipient project coordinator or other key personnel, or otherwise is discretionary on the part of AMS and not subject to appeal. Withholding of Payments AMS may temporarily withhold cash payments pending correction of the deficiency by the recipient, in accordance with 2 CFR §200.205. This decision is discretionary on the part of AMS and not subject to appeal. Withholding of Support AMS may decide not to make an award within the current award cycle if a recipient failed to meet the terms and conditions of a previous award or if continued funding would not be in the best interests of the Federal FMPP 23 Last revised 6/05/2015 government. If an award is withheld (denied) because a recipient failed to comply with the terms and conditions of a previous award, the recipient may appeal that determination by submitting a written request to AMS per section 18.0 Appeals of this document. Suspension or Termination AMS generally will suspend (rather than immediately terminate) a grant and allow the recipient an opportunity to take appropriate corrective action before terminating a project. AMS may terminate the grant if the recipient does not take appropriate corrective action during the period of suspension. AMS may terminate the grant —without first suspending —if the deficiency is so serious as to warrant immediate termination or if public health or welfare concerns require immediate action. AMS will provide the recipient a notice of termination that will include the reason(s) for the termination and if the decision will be considered in evaluating future applications. You may appeal the termination for cause decision as described in section 18.0 Appeals of this document. AMS or the recipient may mutually terminate a grant award, partially or totally, if the two parties agree upon the termination conditions, including the effective date and the portion to be terminated. If the recipient decides to terminate a portion of a grant award, AMS may determine that the remaining portion of the grant award will not accomplish the purposes for which the grant award was originally awarded. Contact the AMS grant program manager indicated in box 13 of the AMS-33 should you decide to terminate all or part of your award. When an award is terminated or partially terminated, the recipient is responsible for compliance with section 15.0 Close -Out requirements. Other options available to AMS include suspension or debarment under 2 CFR §180. This evaluation may incorporate results of the evaluation of the recipient's eligibility or the quality of its application. If AMS determines that a Federal award will be made, special conditions that correspond to the degree of risk assessed may be applied to the Federal award. Criteria to be evaluated must be described in the announcement of funding opportunity described in 2 CFR §200.203 Notices of funding opportunities. AMS may impose additional award conditions per 2 CFR §200.205(b) on the recipient that correspond to the degree of risk assessed under the following circumstances: 1. Based on a review of risk set forth in the criteria in 2 CFR §200.205; or 2. When a recipient has a history of failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the award; or 3. Failure to meet expected performance goals as described in 2 CFR §200.210; or 4. Is not otherwise responsible. These specific award conditions are specified in 2 CFR §200.207. Note that AMS will promptly remove any special conditions once the conditions that prompted them have been corrected. FMPP 24 Last revised 6/05/2015 AMS encourages all recipients to try to resolve disputes by using alternative dispute resolution (ADR) techniques. ADR often is effective in reducing the cost, delay, and contentiousness involved in appeals and other traditional ways of handling disputes. ADR techniques include mediation, neutral evaluation, and other consensual methods Anyone who becomes aware of the existence (or apparent existence) of fraud, waste, or abuse related to AMS grants or use of grant funds should report this information to USDA. The USDA Office of the Inspector General (OIG) provides several means, including toll -free numbers, for this purpose. You may reach the OIG hotline by: Office of the Inspector General, United States Department of Agriculture, Attn: HOTLINE PO Box 23399 Washington, DC 20026-3399 Telephone: 1-800-424-9121 (toll free) or 202-690-1202 (TDD); Fax: 202-690-2474 E-mail: usda.hotline@oig.usda.gov Internet: http://www.usda.gov/oig/hotline.htm Fraud, waste, and abuse includes, but is not limited to, embezzlement, misuse, or misappropriation of grant funds or property, and false statements and misrepresentation, whether by organizations or individuals. Examples are theft of grant funds for personal use; using funds for non -grant -related purposes; theft of Federally owned property or property acquired or leased under a grant; charging inflated building rental fees for a building owned by the recipient; submitting false financial reports; and submitting false financial data in bids submitted to the recipient (for eventual payment under the grant). Callers are not required to give their names and, if they do, OIG keeps their identities t confidential. The Federal government may pursue administrative, civil, or criminal action under a variety of statutes that relate to fraud and false statements or claims. Even if the Federal government does not award a grant, the applicant may be subject to penalties if the information contained in or submitted as part of an application, including its certifications and assurances, is found to be false, fictitious, or fraudulent.

This letter also describes the critical resources and infrastructure that are already in place for proposed activities. Our major partner on the grant is the Rural Mountain Producers Exchange (RMPE), which operates the Fayetteville Farmers' Market. The mission of RMPE is to support the development of a healthy economy for small-scale agriculture in Northwest Arkansas, primarily by establishing farmers' markets for the direct sale of local agricultural products. The Market has two experienced fulltime market managers, who report to an actively committed market board elected from market vendors. Market representatives have excellent long-term working relationships with City staff, including service as community volunteers on the Fayetteville Forward Economical Accountability Council and Local Food Action Group since their inception. The City has been in partnership with RMPE and the Market since its formation in 1973, providing public space for the Market. In turn, the Fayetteville Farmers' Market helps to promote our city, and supports family farms and local agriculture, which adds greatly to our local economy. It adds a vitality and a unique attraction to our historic central square. The Market also helps to preserve our heritage and ensure a safe and secure food source for generations to come. Through this proposal the City of Fayetteville and the Fayetteville Farmers' Market seek specific promotional funding that is directed towards the overall goal of expanding economic opportunities for producers through the growth of customers and purchases at market. This will be achieved by work on these three objectives: 1) Increased television advertising to promote market days held each week with special emphasis on generating additional customers at weekday and Sunday markets. 2) Promotion of Special Events that will expand the sale of seasonal produce and engage the community (i.e. Salsa Festival, National Farmers' Market Week Promotions, and Cooking Demonstrations). 3) Training in merchandising, display and social media for producers.

Page 1 of 7. Executive Summary: In 200 words or less, describe the project's need and purpose, its goals, expected outcomes, and a timeframe for completing all activities. The City of Fayetteville, Arkansas is requesting $58,856 from the FMPP to expand and promote direct producer -to -consumer marketing for the Rural Mountain Producers Exchange (RMPE) otherwise known as the Fayetteville Farmers' Market (FFM). The promotional plan includes: I ) Increased television advertising to promote market days held each week with special emphasis on weekday and Sunday market expansion. 2) Promotion of Special Events that will expand the sale of seasonal produce and engage the community (ie: Salsa Festival, National Farmers Market Week Promotions, and Cooking Demonstrations). 3) Merchandising, display and social media marketing training for producers. The goal for increased advertising and promotions of the Fayetteville Farmers' Market is to expand economic opportunities for producers through the growth of consumer attendance and purchases at market. Currently, three of the four market days have low attendance. Special Events and cooking demonstrations at market will enhance new customer recruitment and expand the number of market patrons, ultimately increasing local consumption of seasonal produce. Farmer and rancher training in merchandising and marketing will increase producer -to -consumer direct sales. The expected outcome in twenty-four months with expanded advertising and promotions is an overall 10% increase annually in revenue for producers based on increased sales at market. Page 2 of 12 8. Project Background: How will the project improve the situation/condition in the area/community? The advertising and promotion expansion will provide economic benefit to local farmers in addition to expanding education in our community on local food access. Results from advertising expansion of four market days, special events at market, cooking demonstrations and producer training on marketing, will advance consumption of regionally produced foods. Currently, FFM holds four market days a week; three of the days have small customer attendance. FFM piloted one month of local television commercials with a minimal exposure of 20 spots during the 2014 Fall Season. The commercials resulted in increased phone inquiries and visits to the website, and statistics provided from social media showed increased interest in the market. Additionally, the market experienced a 13% increase in sales during the month of advertising over the previous year. FFM also participated during 2014 in the Discover You Can- Food Preservation Campaign funded by Jarden Home Brands, the makers of Ball Jars. The campaign was successful in increasing sales at market for the day by 14% over the previous year. Washington County Health Department regulations continue to be a barrier for sampling at market and conducting cooking demonstrations at market. With funding to rent necessary equipment to overcome health department barriers, the market will be able to plan cooking demonstrations with sampling of produce in order to educate consumers on seasonal produce for increase in consumption. The mid to long term impact of expanded advertising and special events will increase consumer attendance and purchases at markets. Increased advertising will also sustain a market held in a low income neighborhood once per week and provides access to regionally produced foods for members of the community who may otherwise not be able to attend a farmers market. What are the project objectives (please list)? o Objective 1: Increase local consumption of regionally produced agricultural products through expanded advertising and special events for the purpose of recruiting new customers to market o Objective 2: Increase producer sales through education and training on merchandising, displays and social media exposure o Objective 3: Increase customer purchases of seasonal produce through cooking demonstrations Could you describe how this project will increase domestic consumption of and access to locally and regionally produced agricultural products? Television commercials will expand the reach of advertising to recruit new customers to market which will result in increases to domestic consumption of local foods. Customers will learn new recipes_ for preparing seasonal produce through Cooking Demonstrations which will expand purchases of these products at market. Special events such as "Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food" campaigns during National Farmers' Market Week will engage customers to shop with local producers in an opportunity to forge ongoing relationships. Salsa Festival is an event held occasionally in the past that has been requested by market vendors to be put back on the market events list as a way to engage and encourage market patrons to purchase larger quantities of tomatoes for canning and food preservation. This event addresses seasonal surplus of perishable produce that contribute to large amounts of food waste if not preserved. Increased advertising will help sustain market days that currently have low attendance but are essential for greater access to locally produced foods. Additionally, the advertising will increase marketing opportunities for producers, especially during peak growing seasons. Page 3 of • Could you describe how this project will develop, improve, and expand market opportunities, outreach, training, and technical assistance for farm and ranch operations serving domestic farmers' markets, roadside stands, community -supported agriculture programs, agritourism activities, and other direct producer -to -consumer market opportunities? The television advertising campaign will strategically expand the FFM advertising budget and will reach a broader audience resulting in new customers shopping the market and consuming regionally produced foods. Producers will gain additional training on the importance of merchandising and displaying products for increased direct producer -to -consumer sales. Training for social media and development of Facebook pages will provide producers additional tools for educating and attracting new customers for increased purchases of products to include community -supported agriculture programs. Special events will enhance the market as seen last year during a food preservation campaign funded by the "Discover You Can" program sponsored by Jarden, Inc., which resulted in an overall increase in sales at market for the day. Direct producer -to -consumer sales will be impacted by educational programs offered to the community and will diminish the amount of unsold produce and food waste. The advertising and promotion program will help sustain three market days currently with low attendance, which will ultimately provide greater economic opportunities to producers. 9.

At the end of the project an expected 10% increase in direct producer -to -consumer sales annually will be observed during the 24 month period. The results observed will be increased consumption of local foods in the region and economic benefit to regional producers. Producers will build capacity in merchandising products for expansion in direct producer -to - consumer sales. The attendance of consumers will increase during all market days. Cooking demonstrations and food preservation events will increase consumer knowledge of how to prepare seasonal produce and will advance sales in surplus produce which often are a part of food waste in our community. Since 2012 FFM has participated in a market gleaning program which over 40,392 pounds of produce has been donated to area nonprofits, which often produce is not utilized therefore wasted. Eliminating food waste through community educational programs that will teach consumers how to prepare certain produce items will result in economic benefit for local farmers. • Who are the intended beneficiaries? Intended beneficiaries are producers of RMPE selling at the Fayetteville Farmers' Market and the Northwest Arkansas community. This project aligns with the objectives of the City of Fayetteville and Mayor Jordan's goal of increasing access to locally produced, healthy foods. • How will you evaluate the project benefits while the grant is in progress and upon grant conclusion? The expansion of the consumer base served will be measured through a metric count of attendance twice each year during the month of July. Additional expansion will be measured by increased vendor attendance and average sales during the market days currently with low attendance. Sign in sheets for cooking demonstrations will provide records of community involvement, and customer surveys will be established to identify how the Cooking Demonstrations advanced customer purchases of seasonal produce. Vendor surveys will be administered once each year to identify producer feedback on special events and how it impacted their business. Vendors will be evaluated at market based on booth appearance, displays, signage, and overall appearance that enhances the market each year prior to National Farmers Market Week. A Special Events committee will be established to evaluate the success of reaching the target audience, the strengths and weaknesses, and ways to improve. A survey will be conducted to evaluate how the market contributes to social capital of the community and an individual human capital impact study. Both social capital and human capital impact studies will be conducted during 2017 National Farmers Market Week. The project will be evaluated based on daily and monthly sales comparison reports to identify percentage increases in sales. Special Events will be monitored with attendance counts and Cooking Demonstrations will require customer registration forms to provide the number of patron participation. • Using the quantitative metrics below, describe the expected outcomes of planning, developing, improving, and/or expanding a local or regional food business enterprise. o Number of direct and indirect jobs retained and created: Currently two fulltime employees and two part-time employees of RMPE will be retained by sustaining four market days a week. An additional part-time position for an assistant event coordinator will be created to assist with facilitation of special events and cooking demonstrations. o Number of markets expanded and/or new markets established, or expansion of the consumer base served: Page 7 of 12 FFM holds four markets a week all of which will expand customer attendance due to increased advertising, special events, cooking demos and producer marketing training. The customer base expansion for three of the four days through TV advertising, is expected to grow by 10% in producer sales. Additionally, the market held in the low income neighborhood will benefit with vendor and consumer expansion due to increased advertising. o Dollar amount and percentage change in market sales: The long-term results of expanded advertising, special events, and producer marketing training will increase market sales by an estimated 10% each year. This will be measured by an overall analysis of producers' percentage in sales increase and percentage of increase in commission paid to RMPE comparative to the previous year. An analysis of specific producers' attendance and sales at the three market days with low attendance will be analyzed to determine a percentage of growth in business during the 24 months of increased advertising. o Number of farmer/producer beneficiaries: There are 80 members who are agricultural producers of RMPE and on the largest of the four market days there are 70 vendor spots of which 75% are agricultural producers. During the three market days with low customer attendance, vendor attendance is on average 18 to 24 producers. 11. Outreach: • How will you disseminate project results electronically and/or in person to the target audience, stakeholders, and interested parties beyond those directly served by the project? Reports are presented annually to the RMPE members of FFM during bi-annual meetings showing sales comparison reports to previous years. A PowerPoint presentation is created with graphs for producers to easily understand growth in sales. FFM facilitates a quarterly newsletter to all member producers of FFM which will report on special event attendance. Vendor Surveys will also be reported in the FFM quarterly Market Messenger Newsletter. The vendor evaluations will be provided to producers and FFM board of Directors. Additionally, reports presenting increased customer attendance to market will be shared with area farmers markets affiliated with the Northwest Arkansas Farmers' Market Association which consists of 12 area farmers markets. The social capital and individual human capital impact studies will be provided to the City of Fayetteville as part of reporting on the increase in access to locally produced, healthy foods. Additionally FFM will provide documentation to the City to complete the STAR Local Fresh Foods Metrics which calculates vendor market days and other measures to demonstrate community sustainability. Fayetteville is currently certified as a 3- STAR community (see starcommunities.org). • How will you collect feedback on the results? Surveys will be administered to patrons for feedback on cooking demonstrations and a sample of participants will be asked to provide follow up data on whether they expanded their market purchases based on new recipes learned. The vendor surveys will provide follow up activity as to how the special events impacted their business and will provide feedback about improving these events. • How will outreach continue beyond the performance period of the project? The increase of consumer attendance and purchases at market will sustain access to four market days a week. With increased revenue to the producers the long-term goal is to increase the FFM advertising budget to accommodate replication of the program advertising and promotions. The TV commercials created will become an asset to the market and used for free media advertising after the paid run, such as airings on local Public Access television. The spot can also be used in social media and on the market and city websites. Page 8 of 12 12. Budget Justification: • Summarize how the project purpose/goals/objectives correlate with the requested budget line items on the completed "FMPP Project Budget" form (i.e. summarize what reviewers will see on your budget form —do not copy/paste the actual budget): The requested FMPP grant for increased television advertising and special events for the Fayetteville Farmers' Market to promote the expansion of market attendance and recruitment of new customers is $30,126. Local television commercials on KNWA and KHOG are budgeted for $28,000. The program plan is 14 months of fifteen second (:15) spots contracting 50 to 20 spots a month depending on station. An additional $2000 is added for Saatchi & Saatchi X creative department to consult on production of two commercials. Saatchi and Saatchi X has offered ProBono consulting currently for the activities planned for the 2015 National Farmers' Market Week; since FFM operates with a small advertising budget this has been beneficial but is a onetime offer. The scope of work for the FFM Business Coordinator is estimated at five hours and costs $126. FFM producers have requested the return of Salsa Festival which will advance the sales of seasonal produce to eliminate food waste of surplus tomatoes and provide increased economic benefit for farmers. Salsa Festival was retired after several years due to the FFM budget restraints for special events and Washington County Health Department barriers. The Salsa Festival is budgeted for two years with a total cost of $12,194 and will engage the Fayetteville community in Food Preservation workshops to advance the sales of local perishable produce. Costs associated with this event include a Food Truck rental for compliance with Washington County Health Department food safety guidelines for both 2016 and 2017 events totaling $600. Additional equipment rentals for the Salsa Tasting Competition is $564 for tables and chairs from Eventures Party Rentals which will be provided for competitors and customers while voting. A Mariachi Band will be contracted for both years which will cost $1000 and will provide entertainment to authenticate the theme. Advertising and promotion of the event will include multiple forms of media to include KUAF Radio and NWA Newspapers. The budget allows for 24 paid radio ads which costs $696 and KUAF matches for a total of 48 radio advertisements. Advertising with NWA Newspapers encompasses running three ads a week for a two week period prior to the event each year costing $3000 total. Banners will be displayed over the entrance to the market on Block Street and also over the entrance to the Salsa Tasting Competition area which will provide advertising and visibility a week prior to and during the event. Banners from Brooks Graphics will cost $910 and we've budgeted for the Fayetteville Visitors Center a fee of $300 for installation of the banners. Posters for the event will cost $400 and flyers will cost $200 from the online company Vista Print. Food costs associated with the salsa competition is budgeted at $1000 total. Event coordination will be managed by FFM Business Coordinator with 80 hours for a cost of $2016 and the FFM part- time Assistant Event Coordinator will dedicate 80 hours total for a cost of $1064. Two FFM part-time staff will work the events dedicating 40 hours total for a cost of $444. National Farmers' Market Week is a special event and was first promoted by FFM in 2014 to emphasize the "Know Your Farmer Know Your Food" USDA campaign. FFM is requesting $7454 to fund a three year campaign. FFM plans to promote the event as a way for market customers to receive a producer donated gift certificate in appreciation for supporting the local market and as a way to promote meeting new farmers. Advertising for this campaign includes NWA Newspaper advertisements budgeted at $4500 total which includes a two week advertising campaign each year. Radio advertising on KUAF will be contracted to promote the event for the three year period with a total of 36 advertisements costing $1044 total which KUAF matches for a total of 72 spots on the air. Flyers will be handed out during Salsa Festival and will be purchased online from Vista Print for $300 which provides 1000 flyers per year. FFM Producer Gift Certificates are offered throughout the week in drawings for Page 9 of 12 customer appreciation and will be ordered online from Vista Print for a total cost of $210. The FFM Business Coordinator will manage the event over the three year period dedicating 30 hours which costs $756 and the FFM Assistant Event Coordinator will provide 20 hours of coordination for a cost of $266. Additionally, the FFM Vendor Coordinator will commit 15 hours or coordination for a cost of $378. The celebration of National Farmers Market Week will advance the "Know Your Farmer Know Your Food" USDA campaign and forge new customer opportunities for producers. FFM merchandising, displays and social media training for producers will build capacity for producers to advance marketing skills which will benefit direct producer -to -consumer sales. This is a one-time event with a total cost of $2880. Costs associated include the Fayetteville Town Center room rental for $850 and training manuals which will cost $1000 for 100 binders. FFM will invite a guest speaker for $400 from the University of Arkansas Walton School of Business to advance the training. FFM Vendor Coordinator will spend 15 hours on the project costing $378 and the FFM Business Coordinator will work 10 hours on the training coordination costing $252. Increase customer purchases of seasonal produce through cooking demonstrations Cooking Demonstrations will increase customer purchases of seasonal produce and increase sales for regional agriculture producers. The total cost for advancing education on seasonal food preparation is $6203. To be in compliance with the Washington County Health Department Food Safety regulations, FFM will rent a food truck for 12 cooking demonstrations costing a total of $3600. Local chefs will be invited to demonstrate ways to use various produce items and provide recipes to advance sales for farmers who may otherwise take a loss at market. Food from market will be purchased for each demonstration with a budget of $1200 total. FFM Assistant Event Coordinator will coordinate the cooking demonstrations which will require 60 hours of work costing a total of $798. The FFM Business Coordinator will oversee the events committing 24 hours of coordination costing $604. The requested $58,856 for all activities will enhance increased . advertising to recruit new customers to market, increase consumption of regionally produced agricultural products, build capacity for farmers and ranchers with marketing skills, increase sales for producers, and engage the community with regional agricultural producers and regional food. • How is the requested budget both reasonable and adequate for the proposed project? Advertising is the greatest part of the request. The budget is reasonable and adequate based on current bids provided from area contractors. The scope of work involved is within the capabilities of the market as planned for the 24 month period and addresses the objectives set forth in the FMPP RFA. • If you are using contractors, have you or will you use your own documented procurement procedures that reflect applicable State, local, and tribal laws and regulations provided they conform to applicable Federal law and the standards identified in 2 CFR §200.318? Fx1 Yes ❑ No • Are you expecting any program income (refer to 2 CFR $200.307) x❑ Yes ❑ No o Any generated program income you accrue during the period of performance must be used to further the purpose of the project. If you expect to generate program income explain how the funds will be used to further the project purpose: The income generated from the expansion of the market will be utilized to sustain a continual advertising campaign with special events planned at market. The income generated from the FMPP Grant will advance the current advertising budget in a long- term effort to recruit new customers to the market and increase regional consumption of agricultural products.

Mountain Fayetteville, AR 72701 479-575-8241 phone 479-575-8273 fax kcavette(d)favetteville-ar.gov CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE ARKANSAS 1 Request for a No -cost Extension Grant Agreement Number: 15FMPPAR0095 Date: August 11,2817 I - The length of the additional time requested, and the new ending date requested: A 6-month extension is requested for a new end date of March 30, 2018 2. A justification for the extension: The justification for the extension request is due to time constraints with the facility which provides space for our large event which was initially proposed for the Salsa Fest|nJuly. The Fayetteville Town Center, located in the Downtown Fayetteville Square, is the only facility adjacent to the Fayetteville Farmers' Market with space large enough to accommodate the crowd for a special event. We contacted the coordinator of the Town Center this year in March to reserve the Town Center Plaza, where we held Salsa Fest the last several years, and dates were not available for us to reserve the space in July. With much consideration given to the times that were available and consideration given to conflicts with dates that were provided, the best date available is October 7, 2017. The two other dates available had conflicts with large events in the City which would cause lack of attendance to the event due to closed streets and traffic congestion during Bikes Blues and 8BQ.The October 7wdate provides an opportunity to hold a Fall Harvest Festival which would provide access to the public for an event during a weekend when there are noother conflicting concerns inthe area and the Town Center is available touse during this 1inne-period.The Fall Harvest also expands the opportunity to increase customers to the market in a time period when often we see a slowing of traffic due to change in season. The Fall Harvest Festival is designed to be an expanded Cooking Local Demonstration in collaboration with Brightwater, a center for food study, and will be a major culinary event modeling the demonstrations provided from the grant over the past two years. In addition to the Fall Harvest Festival extension request will accommodate adequate time needed to aggregate the data that has been collected over the summer months for reporting outcomes and providing athorough final report. 3. 4Summary ofprogress todate interms ofthe project timeline and objectives: n' Objective 1: increase local consumption of regionally produced agricultural products through expanded advertising and special events for the purpose of recruiting new customers tomarket. i� Progress: The television advertising scheduled 13ofthe 14schcdu|ed months of advertising with one month reserved to extend into October 2017 if extension is granted. ii. Progress: The Salsa Festival was completed for2Ol6 but scheduling for 2O17 event in July with the Town Center was not completed due to non -availability to reserve the space with the facility. Planning for Fall Harvest has been arranged for October 7, 2017 with the Town Center facility and collaboration with Qri8htmeter, a center for the study of food, has been confirmed for a large Cooking Local demonstration, We have partnered with the 8rightVVat2[[U|inary program which has sixteen aspiring chefs. These students will be divided into teams of3with one student asanassistant event coordinator. The students will present Cooking Local demonstrations for the market patrons to taste and enjoy new recipes created by the student chefs. Also, collaboration with four top chefs from the area will act as mentors and be onsite to judge the students' recipes and presentations, This activity will inspire new chefs in the area to source locally from farmers as an additional activity bo increase local purchase and consumption of regional food. Additionally, collaborations with local nonprofits has been confirmed for participation to offer workshops in food preservation, vendor jam and je||ytesbngs, compost and gardening activities, and more. Ads have been scheduled, tents, tables, chairs have been reserved for rental, and posters have been designed but not printed atthis time due to pending extension request. Press releases, food aggregation and final judging criteria will be completed upon approval of the extension. Newspaper ads will all be completed except for the $1500 allocated for Salsa Fest which a portion will be extended into October for the Fall Harvest Festival in replace of the Salsa Festival. Radio ads will all be completed for the exception of a week of ads allocated for Fall Harvest Fest. The schedule for a mariachi band was met for 2016 and the schedule for 2017 will be filled with aband for the Fall Harvest Fest.The banner schedule iscompleted for the exception of one display to be scheduled for Fall Harvest Festival. The remaining balance for Contractual activities under this objective reserved for Fall Harvest Festival activities is approximately $4400.00 which a portion will be used during the last week ofSeptember and into October toadvertise Fall Harvest Festival. The Washington County Health Department granted usavariance for food safety compliance this year and we did not utilize the expenditures for the food truck rental, The funds allocated for the activity under Other will beutilized for the rental of event set up for Fall Harvest. The rental items include tents, tables, chairs, and food warmers to hold the food for Fall Harvest in compliance with food safety regulations, Although the activities under the Cooking Demo will be completed the Fall Harvest Fest is designed to replicate the Cooking Local Demonstrations in a larger capacity and facilitate a large event for the community toengage, combining the eventxofFall Harvest and aclosure rothe Cooking Local demonstrations provided by the, grant. 'Fonds remaining under budget justification Other allocated for Fall Harvest Festival are approximately $ 1812.00, Food costs and posters for Fall Harvest will be allocated from the remaining balance in Supplies approximately $ 1200-00 with $1000.00 projected in purchases of local food to use for the recipes to present to the general public for education ofseasonal food availability. iii Progress: All activities for National Farmers Market Week were completed for Z816and are onschedule for 2017.All activities for NFMVVwill becompleted on b. Objective I: Increase producer sales through education and training on merchandising, displays and social media exposure. i. Progress: This activity was completed in March 2016 as planned. C.

For requests prepared on an accrued expenditure basis, outlays are the sum of the actual cash disbursements, the amount of indirect expenses incurred, and the net increase (or decrease) in the amounts owed by the recipient for goods and other property received and for services performed by employees, contracts, subgrantees and other payees.
