description<br />

� Job Potential- the number and nature of jobs that will be generated by<br />

technology application<br />

� Parameters for Procurement Specifications- Considerations such as<br />

land area required, dimensions of the equipment and other details<br />

regarding purchase of equipment<br />

� Operation and Maintenance Requirements- Personnel, technical and<br />

other factors necessary for the efficient operation and maintenance of<br />

the equipment<br />
