5 ~ Our Army at War – Relevant and Ready ~ USACE 3 October 2005 DA Guidance Develop a strategy and implementation plan to support the major permanent restationing initiatives that the Army will execute. Overall objective is to provide the ability to establish, reuse/re-purpose facilities with minimum lead- time, leverage private industry standards and practices, and to reduce acquisition/lifecycle costs … Nov 2004
6 ~ Our Army at War – Relevant and Ready ~ USACE 3 October 2005 Why MILCON Transformation? Current standards/processes do not support the Army’s requirement of getting quality facilities in the timeframe needed Status-quo will most likely result in a program- wide funding shortfall
7 ~ Our Army at War – Relevant and Ready ~ USACE 3 October 2005 MILCON Strategy Goals Deliver quality facilities in less time and at lower costs Provide permanent MILCON solutions to eliminate requirement and use of temporary facilities Construct adaptable facilities for the long term Achieve lower O&M costs thru sustainable facilities Streamline acquisition strategy
8 ~ Our Army at War – Relevant and Ready ~ USACE 3 October 2005 MILCON Transformation Execute MILCON as a program, not individual projects Support Master Planning Adapt new criteria and processes Standardize Facilities’ Criteria Partnering “Faster, Better, Cheaper, and Greener solutions”
9 ~ Our Army at War – Relevant and Ready ~ USACE 3 October 2005 Execute MILCON as a Program Program entire Brigade Combat Team (BCT) requirements as one project Gain economy of scale thru consolidating requirements installation-wide and/or regionally
10 ~ Our Army at War – Relevant and Ready ~ USACE 3 October 2005 Support Master Planning Teamed with IMA to increase master planning competency within the Army Supplemented in-house master planning capability with A-E support Created military construction project templates (DD1391) for light, heavy and aviation BCT configurations Teamed with ACSIM/IMA for Planning Charrettes and in development of quality DD1391s “Success requires quality planning and programming”
11 ~ Our Army at War – Relevant and Ready ~ USACE 3 October 2005 Criteria and Processes Standardize functional and technical criteria for facilities –Incorporate reuse and repurposing capabilities throughout the facility life cycle –Achieve consistency –Streamline acquisition time –Focus on end result; not “how to” Adopt industry best practices and proven solutions to get facilities on the ground faster –Pre-engineered alternatives –Fast-track design/build
12 ~ Our Army at War – Relevant and Ready ~ USACE 3 October 2005 Partnering Internal (Army) –Synchronize execution with Army needs –Develop consistent DD 1391s –Address real estate actions –Complete NEPA in a timely manner –Ensure sufficient master planning competency External –Team with Private Sector –Adopt industry best practices –Develop trust thru long-term relationships
13 ~ Our Army at War – Relevant and Ready ~ USACE 3 October 2005 MILCON Transformation Implementation Plan Execute FY06 BRAC construction using Fast-track design/ build approach Standardized Request for Proposal packages using performance based criteria Pre-manufactured/engineered solutions Established regional construction contracts Established “GSA –like” preferred provider schedules “Adapt – build” for Army BRAC and MILCON construction
