MILCON Process Reinvention Executing BRACON and MILCON Program while Implementing MILCON Transformation Brian Giacomozzi, PE, PMP Chief of Engineering and Construction Southwestern Division, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 1
Why Reinvent the MILCON Process? Current standards/processes do not support DoD s requirement of getting quality facilities in the timeframe needed Program-wide funding shortfall will most likely occur in the status-quo scenario This is a USACE campaign plan goal supporting the USACE strategic plan 2

MILCON Process Reinvention is Greater emphasis on master planning Customer dictates facility requirements and standards Standardization of facilities and processes The Corps changes the way it executes MILCON and BCA Army, DLA, and Medical Programs will be most affected AF will use current standards and construction criteria with greater emphasis on regional and installation acquisition tools Execution of Army MILCON as a continuous building program Expanded use of manufactured building solutions Greater emphasis on partnering with all USACE customers and with industry Quality facilities delivered in less time at lower cost 7
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 8
Hope to Achieve Time and Cost Savings Tactical Equip Maint Facilities $159-170/SF, Scope: 25-30,000 SF (OSD Unit Cost) Heavy Equip Maint Facilities $133/SF, Scope: 20,000 SF (2005 MEANS) Installation Function: Maintain and Repair Vehicles Construction Type: Type I or II non-combustible Occupancy Type: Hazardous/Moderate to High Operations: Maintain and Repair Vehicles, Organize Equipment and Tools, Store Parts, Administer Operations Industry Function: Maintain and Repair Vehicles Construction Type: All Types Occupancy Type: Hazardous/Moderate to High Operations: Maintain and Repair Vehicles, Organize Equipment and Tools, Store Parts, Administer Operations 9
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 10
Facilities Standardization Brings Consistent solicitations throughout the Corps Provides standard scopes of work for like facilities within the Army in the RFP Reduces contractor uncertainty of what the facility requirements are for like facilities from installation to installation From a functional and technical viewpoint More productive time spent on proposal Not looking for variances from Corps district to district Lessening the Risk to the Contractor 11
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 Viable alternative to conventional construction 12
Example of Labor Costs Associated with Modular and Traditional Construction Learning Curves $1,400,000 $1,200,000 Modular Traditional Labor Costs $1,000,000 $800,000 $600,000 $400,000 $200,000 $0 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19 21 23 25 27 29 31 33 35 37 39 41 43 45 47 49 Number of Repetitions 13
Programmatic Acquisition Strategy 14
Highlights of the Imperatives Conduct site/local specific market research to determine final acquisition Group projects smartly to allow for a balance between: Economies of scale Small businesses as primes Preference programs (8a, HUBZone, & SDVO) as primes In synopses, note allowances for all construction types and other than traditional construction (i.e. pre-engineered solutions) To increase competition, evaluation criteria will allow for both applicable Government and private industry experience Award Contracts by facility type Use of the Standard RFP for design/build execution Use Army Source Selection Guide - 2005 Edition 15
Contracting Approaches Contract Type (Single Award Regional IDIQ, MATOC, Unrestricted, Set- Aside,etc.) Local, Regional Awards Facility Type (Product Line) Concept Land Developer/Integrator 16
Regional Single Award IDIQ (by Facility Types) 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 Allows supporting District to concentrate on one or two product lines and become the expert within the region 17
The New Strategy Means Quality facilities delivered in less time at lower costs Faster project execution provides permanent MILCON and eliminates temporary facility solutions Adaptable facilities for the long term Sustainable facilities with lower life-cycle O&M costs A strategy to support Army basing initiatives 18
Success Is 15% cost savings and 30% time savings Facilities with a 50 year life cycle Lower unit costs for primary facilities provides a greater ability to absorb market vagaries Completing a complete BCT in 15-24 months Completing a quality BCT within the 1391 Program Amounts Ability to lower unit costs Have ability to absorb detrimental market conditions Achieve Army sustainability standards Continue to meet Army/DoD Small Business requirements 19
