If an LBR issue is less than $1 million, why does my agency need to provide information that appears to be required only in the Schedule IV-B??
All IT requests are intended to solve business problems and promote efficient use of state resources. While lower-cost projects should not need to have the same level of justification provided for them as projects of greater cost, risk, and organizational impact, requests for these projects must still be accompanied by sufficient business case information to make a funding recommendation. A well-prepared D-3A narrative that follows all of the guidelines outlined in the LBR Instructions should be adequate. However, further details may be necessary, especially if the total cost for an issue nears $1 million and is a rough order-of-magnitude estimate, which means that the cost could vary between 50-100 percent.
