(4) The extent to which the application contains evidence that:
(A) the costs of bilingual-bicultural program components are reasonable in relation to the expected benefits;
(B) the proposed bilingual-bicultural program will be coordinated with existing efforts; and
(C) all possible efforts are being made to minimize the amount of funds requested for purchase of equipment necessary for implementation of the proposed bilingual-bicultural program.
(5) The extent to which the application indicates that the personnel to be employed in the bilingual-bicultural program possess qualifications relevant to the objectives of the bilingual-bicultural program.
