(b) Adequate protection of trust resources is not assured;
(c) The proposed project or function to be contracted for cannot be properly completed or maintained by the proposed contract;
(d) The amount of funds proposed under the contract is in excess of the applicable funding level for the contract, as determined under section 106(a) of the Act; or
