Recreation Civil Works Integrated Funding Database (Rec-CWIFD) and Recreation Assessment (Rec-Assessment)

FY 2025 Recreation budget process will continue to follow the O&M 20/20 Budget Framework. Recreation budget packages will be developed, evaluated, prioritized, and ranked using Recreation Civil Works Integrated Funding Database (Rec-CWIFD) and Recreation Assessment (Rec-Assessment). These two budget tools are independent from each other and will require separate login to access them.

1) Rec-Assessment was designed to collect baseline Performance Data and Current Conditions. Rec-Assessment addresses the following budgetary performance measures: Utilization, Revenue, National Economic Development (NED) Benefit and Unit Day Value (UDV), Visitor Spending, Relative Risk Assessment, and Program Efficiency, Cost Recovery and Benefit Cost Ratio. Upon the completion and closing of the Rec-Assessment Tool, the performance data will be formulated and uploaded into Rec-CWIFD, therefore it is critical that the data is compiled timely and accurately.

2) Rec-CWIFD was designed to collect budget request information for Common O&M and Specific Work Activity Packages. All data supporting budget packages, such as capability, description, and justifications will be entered directly into Rec-CWIFD.

Important Features in RecCWIFD:

1. Rec-CWIFD, Common O&M Activity Packages - substantial changes to accommodate the transition to Similar Cost for Similar Activities at Similar Projects (S3) Initiatives. It includes line-itemizing expenditures for the core (Common) activities and subactivities based on the logic tree and selections of LoP, Phase, Phase Activity, and WCC. Note: the Rec-Assessment Report linked in the "Helpful Tool" below has the breakdown of Project Expenditures and PSA Expenditures and therefore is a critical resource to help you build your packages and line-itemize.
2. Rec-CWIFD, Specific Work Activity and Rec-Assessment - Operational Condition Assessment (OCA) process needs to be done for the assets you wish to build the Specific Work packages for and the OCA data needs to be uploaded before you can build those packages. If you have not done the OCA for the assets, or the OCA data has yet to be uploaded to Rec-CWIFD, you should NOT build the Specific Work packages until that data comes in.
