Facility Requirements and Standards Dictated by ACSIM • Defines facility requirements and standards • Dictates standardization for similar facility types • Programs total mission requirements of BCT on one DD 1391 “ Direction from the customer …ACSIM” 24 mar 06 ~ Our Army at War – Relevant and Ready ~ 2

Transition to a Continuous Building Program • Develop Regional Acquisition Plans – FY 2006 – Expediency – Economies of scale – Small Business participation • Establish regional acquisition vehicles – FY 2006 • Utilize acquisition tools that allow repetition and reduces construction execution learning curve • Structure contracts to allow contractors to lock-in labor force and suppliers for similar facilities • Initiate a Continuous Building Program by FY 08 “Maximize time and cost savings by repetition” 24 mar 06 ~ Our Army at War – Relevant and Ready ~ 3

Standardization of Processes (Across USACE) • Consistent and uniform RFPs and acquisition approach – Consistent acquisition approach defined by programmatic acquisition plan (approved Feb 06) – Mandatory use of standard RFP templates – Streamline the acquisition time – Facilitate the proposal process • Consistent engineering/construction applications – Standardization in the evaluation/selection criteria – Streamline review and submittal process • Expand the use of all types of construction – Type I thru Type V construction • Maximize use of Industry Standards – International Building Code – Focus on end result; not “how to” “Consistency is vital to successful program execution” 24 mar 06 ~ Our Army at War – Relevant and Ready ~ 4

Standardization of Facilities • Transition from design/build to use of prototype models • Prototype models will be established in FY 07 for standard facility types – Mission – Community Support – Others • Centers of Standardization for facility types – Transition and expand to be Corps design centers in FY 07 ü Initial operation in March 06 ü Fully engaged in Oct 06 – Establish adapt-build models and transition to prototype models – Maintain prototype models – Establish and maintain regional ID/IQs for design, D/B and construction contracts – Incorporate Lessons-Learned “Continual improvement of prototypes” 24 mar 06 ~ Our Army at War – Relevant and Ready ~ 5

Centers of Standardization (cont) • Mobile District/SAD (2) – Aviation – Vertical Construction – 4 Star HQ Facility • Savannah District/SAD (6) – – – Company Operations Facility Tactical Equipment Maintenance Brigade Operations Complex Brigade/ Battalion HQ: Admin Cmd. /Control : UEy and Corps (UEx) HQ: Admin/Operations – Deployment Facility • • Ft. Worth District/SWD (5) – Unaccompanied Enlisted Personnel Housing – Basic Combat Training Complex/One Station Unit Trainee – Advanced individual Training Complex – General Purpose Warehouse – Central Issue Warehouse Honolulu District/POD (2) – Unaccompanied Officers Quarters – Transient Officers Quarters 24 mar 06 ~ Our Army at War – Relevant and Ready ~ 7

Centers of Standardization/Design Centers • Primary Responsibilities for HQDA – Development of technical solutions that meet facility functional requirements – Develops standard designs – Enforcer of Army Standards (ACSIM is approving authority for waivers to Army standards) • Primary Responsibilities for USACE: – Become the design centers for their assigned standard facilities – Maintain Model RFP statements of work – Become technical resource for executing districts – Establish regional IDIQ contracts for services associated w/ assigned facility types 24 mar 06 ~ Our Army at War – Relevant and Ready ~ 8

Product-Line Design/Build IDIQ Contracts • Capitalizes on industry strengths and best practices • Encourages non-traditional builders to compete • Provides separable contract packages for small business opportunities and set-aside programs • Provides repeat business incentive for good performance • Repetitive nature work reduces learning curve, providing for lower cost, faster delivery and improved quality • Facilitates incorporation of lessons learned into future task orders • Maximizes sustainability opportunities • Allows supporting District to concentrate on one or two product lines and become the expert within the region 24 mar 06 ~ Our Army at War – Relevant and Ready ~ 9

The Challenge … Permanent facilities faster, better, cheaper and greener 140, 000+ people restationing Ft Lewis Fort Drum West Point Detroit Arsenal Picatinny Aberdeen Rock Island Ft Meade Ft Belvoir Ft Riley Ft Eustis Ft Leavenworth Ft Carson Ft Knox Ft Leonard Wood Ft Bragg / Pope AFB Ft Campbell Ft Irwin Ft Lee Ft Sill Ft Jackson Redstone Hunter Army Airfield Ft Huachuca Ft Benning PACIFIC Ft Hood Ft Stewart Ft Bliss Ft Polk Ft Wainwright Ft Rucker Ft Sam Houston Ft Richardson Schofield Bks 24 mar 06 ~ Our Army at War – Relevant and Ready ~ 10

Expanded Use of Manufactured Solutions • Manufactured solutions for permanent construction includes: – Pre-engineered – Modular – Tilt-up/panel • Expanded list of construction solutions • Acquisition alternatives: – – Contract directly for certain facility types Creation of preferred provider lists Multiple Basic Ordering Agreements (BOA) Right size contracts to meet Small Business requirements • Still meet Army quality and sustainability standards “Viable alternative to conventional construction” 24 mar 06 ~ Our Army at War – Relevant and Ready ~ 11

Transitioning to Full MT Implementation (FY 2006 -07) • FY 2006: – BRAC 2005 execution ü Utilization of Model RFP (for mission facilities) – Utilize industry standards – Performance specifications ü Type 1 thru Type V construction ü Use fast-track design – build ü Ft. Bliss BCT and Infrastructure ü FT Carson BCT ü FT Knox BCT – 2006 MCA execution (Pilot-test) ü Ft Campbell MFAB – Use appropriate acquisition tools to design and construct unique stand alone facilities • FY 2007: – Use MT concepts to maximum extent on all MCA and BRAC 05 projects – Use Type 1 thru Type V construction on selected DLA and TMA projects – Use appropriate acquisition tools to design and construct unique stand alone facilities USACE must implement MT rapidly 24 mar 06 ~ Our Army at War – Relevant and Ready ~ 12

Basis of Design/Construction – Implications for Do. D Analytical Models and Program Goals • 15% cost savings and 30% time savings • Facilities with 50 year life cycle • Lower unit costs for primary facilities provides a greater ability to absorb market vagaries • Sustainable and adaptable facilities with lower life-cycle costs 24 mar 06 ~ Our Army at War – Relevant and Ready ~ 13
