Phased projects are allowed under the HMGP, HMGP Post Fire, BRIC and FMA programs, and require a BCA for Phase I and Phase II. The purpose of phased projects is to provide assistance for design, engineering, environmental and historic preservation (EHP), or feasibility studies or analysis on a proposed project during Phase I. For this reason, BCAs for the Phase I subapplications should be based on the best available data and include a detailed explanation of any assumptions that went into the BCA, including any assumptions about after-mitigation (residual) damage. Phase I approval does not guarantee approval of future phases. After Phase I is completed, FEMA will complete an eligibility review that includes a cost-effectiveness determination to evaluate if the project meets all eligibility requirements to proceed to Phase II. BCAs should incorporate data from the Phase I deliverables/analysis and must reflect current site conditions and all revisions to scope and cost made to the project following Phase I analysis.
