FOREWORD

This pamphlet provides information for U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

(USACE) field personnel to assist in organizing and operating a typical

Installation Support Program. The pamphlet also serves as a handbook

for Army Directorates of Engineering and Housing (DEH) and Air Force

Base Civil Engineers (BCE) by providing an overview of typical support

services available at their local Corps District, explanations on how to

obtain them, and time and cost associated with such services. This

pamphlet is issued in various chapters to provide a living reference

document in looseleaf format, so that particular portions can be updated

at frequent intervals. Also, in this format, the Installation Support

Handbook can be easily supplemented by USACE Subordinate Command

implementing procedures with direct reference to the applicable sections

of this pamphlet. Inquiries concerning the Installation Support

Handbook should be addressed to HQUSACE, Attn: CEMP-CI, Construction

Division, Installation Support Branch, Washington, D.C. 20314-1000.

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

1-1. Purpose.

The purpose of this pamphlet is to provide U.S. Army Corps of

Engineer, Army Directorate of Engineering and Housing (DEH), and Air

Force Base Civil Engineer (BCE) personnel with information that will

assist them in providing or receiving installation support services. It

describes the interface between the installation and USACE activities,

and more importantly, the handbook helps installation managers

supplement their capabilities by making the complete range of talents,

skills and services of USACE easily accessible through the Installation

Support Program. This pamphlet is a guide and does not supersede any

regulations or contract requirements, or abridge command authority or

responsibility.

1-2. Applicability.

This pamphlet applies to HQUSACE/OCE elements, major subordinate

commands, districts, laboratories, and field operating activities. The

level of expertise or extent to which a service will be accomplished by

the local USACE District may vary. However, the networking system and

ability to share resources and expertise throughout USACE allows access

to any of these support services through the local district Installation

Support coordinator.

 

a. A key management objective is to make it easy for an

installation to access the many services available from the district. A

district not only offers support in a wide variety of engineering

disciplines, but also in construction management, real estate, and

numerous other disciplines and support areas.

b. The chapters within this pamphlet have detailed explanations

of available support services, to include information on typical costs,

schedules and policy guidelines pertaining to each service. Sample

request forms are included as examples of how an installation obtains

support.
EP 420-1-1

1-3. References. The references and regulatory publications which

govern the Installation Support Program are categorized and included

within this pamphlet in two groups: required references and related

references. Required references are those included in each chapter;

they are mandatory readings to understand the service being described. 

Related references are included in Appendix A and are recommended

readings which will further enhance the reader's knowledge and provide a

full understanding of the subject matter.

1-4. Use of This Pamphlet and How to Obtain Services.

a. This pamphlet is organized for easy reference. The first

chapter gives basic information about USACE, Division/ District

boundaries, points of contact, the organizational structure of a typical

district, and the Installation Support organizational structure.

 b. The second chapter of the pamphlet is a general overview of the

Installation Support Program and how a typical district operates the

program. Optional ways of getting projects accomplished are presented. 

It also describes some of the many ways to keep installations informed

as to the progress of their work. 

c. The third through the ninth chapters are the centerpiece of

the pamphlet. These chapters describe the various support services, who

provides these services, work request forms to initiate a support

request, when to request the service, how long it takes to provide the

service, and, perhaps most importantly, how much the service costs and

what funding sources/alternatives are available. 

d. The pamphlet concludes with a series of appendices that will

help an installation understand USACE capabilities, obtain support from

a USACE activity, and provide feedback to districts on their

performance. Key terms relating to installation support are contained

in Appendix B. Information management systems are described in Appendix

C. Major programs encountered by the installation are at Appendix D. 

Financial management requirements and relationships are in Appendix E. 

USACE centers of expertise and laboratories, and their assigned mission

areas, are listed and defined in Appendix F. Guidelines for supporting

U. S. Air Force projects are in Appendix G. Guidance on how to obtain

USACE support and provide feedback to a district on their performance is

contained in Appendix H. Overall installation management philosophy is

summarized in DoD Directive 4000.1.1, which appears in Appendix I.

e. Update procedure. Comments and suggestions regarding

improvements to this manual are welcomed at any time. Normally, the

pamphlet will be updated every two years, with revised pages being

prepared more often when needed. Districts and installations will be

provided with copies of all revised pages and will be offered the

opportunity to make comments when revisions are accomplished.

1-5. USACE Major Subordinate Command and District Boundaries.

a. With nearly 44,000 employees, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

is the worlds largest engineering organization. Under the command of

the Chief of Engineers in Washington, D.C., the U.S. Army Corps of

Engineers has 13 Divisions/Major Subordinate Commands (MSC) subdivided

into 39 districts that manage Military and Civil Works engineering and

construction programs worldwide. Each USACE military district has a

major responsibility in managing design and construction programs for

the Army and Air Force in their geographical area. Many civil works

districts have a mobilization support mission for Army installations.

b. Maps of MSC and district civil works and military support

operational boundaries are provided at Appendix J. 

c. USACE MSC's and districts which have an assigned mission to

provide direct support to installations through the USACE Installation

Support Program are identified in AR 420-10 (see Appendix K). 

1-6. District Organizational Structure.

Districts are the Corps of Engineers basic operational level

organization. USACE districts typically have four line divisions;

engineering, construction-operations, project management, and real

estate (see Figure 1-1). The construction function has a field

structure consisting typically of area, resident, and project engineer

offices. This construction field structure expands, contracts, and

relocates dependent upon the construction workload. USACE districts are

usually led by a cadre of military officers, but the vast majority of

the staff are civilian members of the USACE team. USACE military

districts provide direct support to installations and USACE civil works

districts.

1-7. Installation Support Organizational Structure. The organizational

element directly responsible for the Installation Support program varies

from district to district depending upon workload and staffing levels. 

The supporting element ranges from one individual serving as the

Installation Support Coordinator, to a fully staffed Installation

Support Section/Branch.

a. Installation Support Coordinator. A single individual within

the district who:

(1) Serves as a single point of contact to receive all

Installation Support requests.

(2) Directs incoming requests to the appropriate in-house

resource or other USACE capability.

(3) Coordinates customer requests within the district to ensure

timely execution, efficient and effective project management and

procurement, cost control and quality of construction. 

(4) Monitors installation/customer satisfaction.

b. Project Managers accomplishing Installation Support.

Districts that accomplish a consistent, yet minimal volume of

Installation Support/reimbursable funded projects have a number of

project managers who are responsible for accomplishing installation

support work. These project managers are located within the

Military/Project Management Branch and may assume the role of

Installation Support Coordinator or work in conjunction with that

individual.

c. Installation Support Section/Branch. In a district with a

large reimbursable funded military workload, a dedicated section or

branch has been formed to accomplish the Installation Support mission. 

This is the optimum scenario in that it provides the most efficient,

effective and focused support to installations. In this case standard

military construction project management procedures can be most

effectively streamlined or tailored in order to simplify, expedite and

reduce the costs of accomplishing a project. In addition, each major

installation will normally have one or more project managers dedicated

to their needs. An example of this organization is depicted in Figure

1-2 on the following page.

GENERAL PROGRAM OVERVIEW

2-1. Execution Sources / Options.

a. A number of options are available to both the installation

engineer and the district for executing projects. Figure 2-1 shows some

of the options that are typically open to the installation and the

supporting district: 

 

Figure 2-1. Typical Execution Options.

 

b. Major commands have the option of obtaining support directly

from a district or a laboratory.

c. The Huntsville Division has a non-geographic support mission

for selected services/programs. Examples are:

(1) Range Modernization Program.

(2) Energy Monitoring Control Systems.

(3) Chemical Demilitarization Program.

2-2. Execution Methods.

 

 The following diagram (Table 2-1) outlines seven execution methods 

 available to the installation engineer (I) and the supporting district

(D) for accomplishing actions during the life cycle of a project:

Table 2-1. Typical Project Execution Methods

b. Any special studies or post-construction activities necessary

to accomplish a project could also be incorporated into the process and

accomplished by either the installation or the district.
EP 420-1-1

2-3

2-3. Communications. Effective communications are the key to

successful project completion and the maintenance of harmonious working

relationships between the installation and district. In addition to

routine telephonic coordination and written correspondence between the

district and the installation, communications between the installation

staff and the district will be maintained by the following means:

a. Staff Visits.

(1) District commander visits to the installation. The district

commander will schedule a personal visit with the installation engineer

at least once every six months, or more often if needed. Also, it is

the Chief of Engineer's policy that new district commanders will visit

all of the installations supported by their district within 45 days of

taking command. Incumbent district commanders will visit new

installation engineers within 45 days of their assumption of duties. 

The district commander is also available upon request to discuss or

present information regarding special problems, complex projects or

issues.

 (2) Installation Support Coordinator's visit to Installation

Engineer. Each large project, group of operation and maintenance-funded

projects, or request for technical engineering or study support will

normally result in a visit by the district Installation Support

Coordinator. The purpose of these visits is to meet the installation

personnel who will be coordinating the work, to acquaint them with the

project design or study team and/or with consultants who will provide

the service, and to solicit concerns and preferences that may affect the

service being provided.

 (3) District Chief, Construction Division visit. The chief of the

district construction division will visit the installation at least once

annually to discuss concerns over completed and on-going construction,

coordinate major construction projects scheduled during the year, and

introduce members of the district office construction division staff.

 (4) Joint site visits during design and construction. 

Installations are encouraged to appoint DEH/BCE coordinators/managers

for each design and construction project being accomplished by the

district. These coordinators will be regularly invited to visit the job

sites with the area or resident engineer staff, and encouraged to bring

representatives of the using organization along with them. 
EP 420-1-1

31 Jan 92

2-4

 b. Meetings.

 (1) Monthly/quarterly. Project planning and status meetings may be

conducted at the installation engineer's office, or at the area/resident

engineer office on a monthly or quarterly basis. The frequency and

location of these meetings may be at the installation engineer's

choosing.

 (2) Recurring and special. The district office staff and the local

area/resident engineer office are available at all times to conduct

briefings to installation command groups or to meet with the

installation engineer's staff.

(3) Status review. There is almost no such thing as "too much

information" when considering matters of project status. The

Installation Support coordinator is always available to meet with the

installation to discuss ongoing and new projects. Normally, these

meetings are combined with the construction status meetings that are

held monthly at the area/resident engineer office. Installation project

coordinators are encouraged to attend all of these meetings, and minutes

of each session will be provided within one week after the date of the

last meeting. 

 (4) Area Engineer/Resident Engineer. As mentioned in the

preceding paragraph, status meetings are often held at the area/resident

engineer office and include not only the status of ongoing contracts,

but the status of planned and ongoing design efforts. Additionally, the

area/resident engineer is available to brief status of any ongoing

construction contracts, and can assist the installation staff with

training, construction scheduling and reporting techniques, as well as

other construction management issues.

 (5) Design and design review. For Army reimbursable funded

projects there are typically three meetings during the design phase with

the installation engineer. The first meeting is a pre-design/prenegotiation/scope development conference which is held at the project

site. The second meeting is a concept design review, held when the

project is approximately 35% complete. At this stage installation

review comments are discussed for incorporation into the project. The

third meeting is a final design review, held when the project is

approximately 95% complete to solicit detailed technical comments and

determine the final course of action for the project. For the Air Force

an additional meeting is held between the pre-design and concept review. 

This meeting occurs at the Project Definition completion phase so the

designer can present conclusions and recommendations to the installation

engineer/user.
EP 420-1-1

31 Jan 92

2-5

 (6) Installation planning board. The USACE MSC commander has

delegated authority to the district to represent the Corps of Engineers

at Installation Planning Board meetings. The district will send a

member from their Military Planning Section staff to each of these

meetings as a technical advisor to the installation master planning

staff. 

 (7) Six and nine-month warranty enforcement meetings. The

installation engineer's project inspection staff is encouraged to attend

the six and nine month warranty enforcement meetings on all construction

projects supervised and administered by the supporting Corps

area/resident engineer office. Warranty related concerns are the

primary focus of each of these meetings. 

 c. Recurring Reports.

 (1) Status report. A district will furnish each installation a

monthly status report of all projects and services being provided to

their installation. Appendix H of this handbook has a sample project

status reporting format.

(2) Automated Management and Progress Reporting System (AMPRS). 

This automated design and construction execution report is used

throughout the Corps of Engineers to track the progress of each MILCON

or reimbursable/installation support action. Information from this

report is used to monitor design and construction execution at all

levels within the Corps of Engineers.

(3) Reimbursable project data base. There are data fields within

AMPRS for tracking projects that are reimbursable funded, i.e.,

Installation Support Projects.

 d. Annual DEH/BCE Conference / Workshop. Each district typically

hosts an annual conference/workshop for DEH/BCE partners. Normally the

conference is held on or near one of the supported installations and

tours of installation facilities are a part of the agenda. During the

conference the district should not dominate the agenda. Typically the

district portion will equal that of the Army and Air Force installation

participants. The last thing a district wants to do is "preach"

district support. Rather, the conference/workshop should provide an

open forum: to share ideas among customers, to meet and get to know each

other, and to hear expert speakers discuss new programs and directions

in the facilities engineering, housing and environmental business. 
EP 420-1-1

31 Jan 92

2-6

(1) Guest and Installation Speakers. Conference speakers should

come from the Corps of Engineers community, the Army and Air Force

community, from private industry and from other Government agencies. 

The focus should be on the "where we have been" and "what's new" in the

facilities engineering, housing and environmental arena. One of the

primary speakers at each annual conference/workshop should be a DEH or

BCE from a supported installation. 

 (2) Survey DEH/BCE for Agenda Items. Before the yearly

conference/workshop is put together, the Installation Support

coordinator will contact installations to determine preferences for

agenda items. Any special or recurrent problems are excellent topics

for presentation or workshop discussion. Controversial items should not

be avoided. Discussion of even the most sensitive Installation Support

problems or issues, with the objective of obtaining resolution or expert

advice, is encouraged. 

 (3) Schedule. A typical annual conference/workshop is held from

noon on a Tuesday to noon on a Thursday and consists of four four-hour

sessions with frequent breaks. With this scheduling, the

conference/workshop will take only three working days, including travel. 

The last four hour session is an "open forum" during which all

participants are given an opportunity to express opinions and share

concerns regarding what has been presented during the previous three

sessions.

 e. Customer Feedback System. Each district is required to monitor

installation/customer satisfaction. Examples of formats which may be

utilized to accomplish this are included in Appendix H. Installations

should be asked to complete a customer survey form for each job, or

group of related jobs that a district completes for them. Completion of

such evaluations provides a road map of how support can be improved in

the future. 

 f. Solicitation of Annual Program from DEH/BCE. The district

should visit each installation engineer during the development of the

"fixed workload" and "variable workload" portions of the Annual Work

Plan for the installation. This provides a "heads up" notice of work

that the district may be asked to perform, or areas where the district

may be able to offer specific expertise or support. Normally, the

deputy district commander or the installation support coordinator will

schedule an annual visit with the installation engineer or deputy for

this purpose during the spring of the year, or when the installation

Annual Work Plan is being assembled.

CHAPTER 3 

PLANNING AND PROGRAMMING

SUPPORT SERVICES

3-1. Types of Services.

a. Economic and Social Analysis. 

 

(1) Housing Studies. Housing projects for new facilities

require a three-phase justification procedure. The three phases

include: Segmented Housing Market Analysis (SHMA), the Army

Housing Justification Process (AHJP), and the Economic Analysis

(EA). All new construction and major renovation projects must be

supported by an economic analysis of various public and private

sector alternatives which provide housing facilities. The EA must

accompany the initial project DD Form 1391.

(2) Efficiency Studies. Efficiency studies analyze costs

of equipment or facilities over their economic, physical, or

mission life and evaluate various alternatives to achieve a

specific objective. Examples include commissary expansion and

installation laundry services. 

(3) Finance Studies. These studies, which are generally

an appendix to an EA or feasibility study, identify methods of

financing project needs that are outside traditional funding

mechanisms. (Example: in one study, land and facilities were

identified that could be excessed in order to provide funding for

new warehouses on the installation as part of the DoD Sale and

Replace Program.)

(4) Mission Changes. These studies assess the economic

impact a mission change will have on the economy of the local

community. They are generally an appendix to an Environmental

Impact Statement (EIS). (Example: USACE personnel are working

on the socioeconomic portion of Base Realignment Studies to

establish a method to be used for all candidate installations in

the United States.)

(5) Long-Range Stationing Plans. We can provide your

installation assistance in site selection and estimating economic

impacts on the local community that will arise from various

stationing scenarios. Input/output modeling is one of the tools

used to accomplish this task. 
EP 420-1-1

31 Jan 92

3-2

(6) Installation Compatible Use Zone (ICUZ). The goal of

an ICUZ study is to influence development around military

installations so that it is compatible with blast and

noise-generating Army activities. The district can coordinate

planning activities between agencies, counties, planning

commissions, and private-interest groups.

(7) Emergency Preparedness/Mobilization Planning. To

prepare for mobilization, each district has analyzed the

capabilities of the Corps of Engineers as well as the

construction industry in their local geographic area to quickly

provide support for a range of mobilization construction

projects. Working with local installation staffs, districts have

identified a range of problems, needs and opportunities and

addressed alternative solutions. Districts have also prepared,

and are continuously updating, Mobilization Master Plans and

Mobilization Installation Support Books for the Army

installations that they support.

b. Project Development and Advance Planning. The scope

development and programming phases of each project are extremely

important. The completeness of an installations request for

services reduces the time required to start pre-design and design

procurement procedures, and reduces delays during design and

design administration for scope revision modifications. The

critical components for the request for service are shown on the

sample installation support request on the final page of each

support services chapter in this pamphlet. The timing of the

request for services is critical to accomplishing high-quality

design in a timely manner at minimum cost. 

c. Real Property Master Plan and Mobilization Component

for Army Installations/Base Comprehensive Planning for Air Force

Installations. Commanders use the installation master plan/base

comprehensive plan for the orderly management and development of

their installations, and as a source of project development

information. The real property master plan/base comprehensive

plan depicts current composition of an installation and the plans

for its future development. Once approved, the real property

master plan/base comprehensive plan is the primary building block

for installation development and is not changed, except for

revisions by the Installation Real Property Planning

Board/Facility Board, unless major mission or strength

alterations occur. The mobilization component is a similar set

of documents prepared at Army installations in the Continental

United States, Hawaii, Alaska and Puerto Rico, based on the

assigned "full" mobilization mission. 
EP 420-1-1

31 Jan 92

3-3

Each district has a military planning staff of professionals who

are capable of aiding the installation in completely updating

their master plan or accomplishing revisions, either by in-house

district staff or by A-E contract.

d. Installation Design Guide. The installation design

guide is a portion of the installation real property master plan. 

It also is a specific part of the Army Communities of Excellence

Program. The guide establishes the architectural theme for each

portion of the installation, sets standards for interior and

exterior design including site furnishings and landscaping, and

develops design guidelines for form, massing, color, texture,

scale and spacing amongst the buildings in each area. The

district can prepare this document for the installation, or work

with the installation staff to jointly develop the document. 

e. Mapping and Surveying. The district has the capability

of providing aerial surveys and photogrammetric mapping,

cadastral surveys, and resources mapping using satellite

technology. Complete field surveys of any type can be provided

either through use of in-house survey crews or by contract. Each

district can perform topographic, cartographic, hydrographic,

demarkation of wetlands, geodetic, land, control, engineering

and construction surveying. In most cases, surveys can be worked

into schedules within three to four weeks time. In addition,

districts have horizontal and vertical control available for use

at most military installations. Districts can prepare master

planning maps by means of the controlled aerial mosaic method. 

The majority of the mapping work is currently recorded on the

computer-aided design and drafting system at the district office.

f. Computer-Aided Design and Drafting Systems (CADD). 

With the Corps-wide purchase of CADD systems in late 1987, USACE

obtained the capability to support the DEH/BCE with

state-of-the-art drafting equipment. The Corps-wide purchase

provided Districts with Integraph equipment, which allows them to

place real property master planning drawings, as-builts, archival

site plans as well as design and as-built drawings in computer

files which may be reproduced at virtually any scale, showing

many different combinations of selected information. Districts

also have the technical capability to advise installations

regarding the purchase of CADD equipment for the DEH/BCE staff. 

This equipment would be completely compatible with mainframe

equipment at the district and would permit installation designers

and master planner to prepare original drawings and other

(nongraphic) data bases, or to revise those on file at the

district. (Note: automation approval and funding of CADD

equipment for installation use are the responsibilities of the

installation and its parent command.
EP 420-1-1

31 Jan 92

3-4

g. Feasibility Studies. USACE districts have the

capability to perform virtually any engineering technical

feasibility study, including evaluation of master planning

alternatives, feasibility analyses during programming and design,

and feasibility of alternative operation and maintenance

practices. 

h. Space Utilization Planning. AR 405-70, Utilization of

Real Estate; AR 405-45, Inventory of Army Military Real Property;

and AR 210-20, Master Planning, emphasize the maximum use of

existing facilities before new facilities are programmed. 

Districts stand ready to assist an installation office in

developing space utilization databases and analyses. Many

Districts have performed this service for the installations they

support. The results have proven successful in terms of usable,

responsive systems for facilities and land use assignment.

3-3. Who Provides These Services.

For planning and project development services, the

districts Installation Support coordinator will forward the

installation's request to either the Planning Division or to the

Master Planning and Site Development Section of the Engineering

or Programs and Project Management Division. Mobilization

component service requests will follow the same procedure, or be

assigned to the Emergency Operations Branch of the Construction

and Operations Division. In all cases, the Installation Support

Coordinator will receive, coordinate and monitor the

installations request. 

 

3-4. How To Obtain These Services.

Use an Installation Support Request Form, or call or write

to the local Installation Support Coordinator to initiate a

request for service. The installation should be prepared to

supply the following:

a. An Installation Support Request Form prepared in

general accordance with the sample format (Figure 3-1) at the

last page of this chapter which gives a narrative summary of work

or services required. After the support request is evaluated:

b. Copies of installation records needed by the district

to provide the service. 

c. Applicable documents, correspondence, or regulations. 

d. Document transmitting funds to the district office.

 

3-5. Typical Funding and Time to Accomplish the Service.

Costs and time required for planning services, and 

sources/alternatives for funds. The time period and cost for the

preparation of planning projects vary depending on the complexity

of the document or study.

a. Costs. Normally, installation furnished Operation and

Maintenance (O&M) funds are required to finance planning

services. However, some nonreimbursable Army funds are available

on a limited basis for peacetime master planning. Headquarters,

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers funds all mobilization master plans. 

The following are examples of the average time and cost range for

various projects:
EP 420-1-1

31 Jan 92

3-6

(1) Project Development Brochure (PDB) - 6 to 8 weeks

($8,000-$12,000).

(2) Individual utility studies - 9 to 15 months ($75,000-

$125,000).

(3) Real Property Master Plan update - 9 to 12 months

($80,000-$125,000).

(4) Mobilization component update - 9 to 12 months

($80,000-$120,000 - funded by HQUSACE).

If the required support exceeds the capability of in-house

personnel or current indefinite delivery contracts, additional

lead time (of approximately 3 to 4 months) will be required to

advertise and select an A-E firm. Accordingly, early district

involvement in an installations advance/annual work planning will

help the district provide better support.

b. The annual military construction programming cycle

dictates when the installation needs to submit such documents as

DD Forms 1391 and Project Development Brochures.

c. Army master planning services are augmented by a

limited amount of HQUSACE-distributed, nonreimbursable funds. 

Mobilization components are entirely funded by HQUSACE. 

Therefore, the district must request that the installation

identify requirements for these services by each February

preceding each fiscal year. This allows the district to identify

master planning and mobilization master planning requirements

through Corps of Engineers channels.

d. Other planning services are not as time sensitive, and

can be provided at any time during the year whenever the

requirement is identified and funded.

3-6. Examples.

a. Preparation of base line planning studies in support of

base realignment and closure actions at installations.

b. Housing studies prepared by districts have contributed

to high success rates in housing programming at various Army and

Air Force Installations.

c. Space utilization surveys at supported installations as

they prepare to incorporate the Army Real Property Planning 

System (RPLANS) at their installations.

CHAPTER 4

ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPORT SERVICES

4-1. Types of Services.

a. Environmental and Cultural Resources. The district

can provide a wide range of services to support compliance with

environmental and cultural resources laws and regulations,

including:

(1) Environmental Assessment. An Environmental

Assessment (EA) describes the impacts of a proposed action on the

environment. The elements evaluated include wetlands, cultural

resources, ecology, threatened and endangered species,

socio-economic factors, air, water and noise pollution,

fisheries, navigation, flood plains, and energy needs. An EA is

prepared in accordance with the implementing regulation of the

National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and AR 200-1 and AR

200-2. It is coordinated via Section 309 of the Clean Air Act

with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. 

(2) Environmental Impact Statement. The Environmental

Impact Statement (EIS) is normally a large, complex document that

incorporates aspects of the Environmental Assessment, and usually

includes more detail, time, funds and coordination. It is also

prepared according to the implementing regulations of the

National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and AR 200-1 and AR

200-2. It involves notification via the Federal Register as well

as wide coordination with various federal and state agencies and

the public. 

(3) Biological Assessment of Threatened and Endangered

Species (BATES). The Endangered Species Act requires all Federal

agencies to consult with the Secretaries of Interior and Commerce

to ensure that their actions will not jeopardize the continued

existence of endangered or threatened species or result in the

destruction or adverse modification of critical habitats of such

species. A BATES evaluates, via the Endangered Species Act of

1973, the potential impacts a proposed action may have on various

threatened and endangered species. Following its completion, the

draft document is coordinated with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife

Service for either the "no jeopardy" or "jeopardy" determination. 

(4) Evaluation of Dredge and Fill Material. Section

404(b)(l) of the Clean Water Act requires the evaluation of the

environmental impacts a proposed dredge or fill action may have

on biological and chemical integrity of a wetland area.
EP 420-1-1

31 Jan 92

4-2

The evaluation, usually part of an Environmental Impact Statement

(EIS) or Environmental Assessment (EA), is coordinated with the

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in accordance with the

Clean Water Act.

(5) Hazardous and Toxic Wastes (HTW). Districts can

assist installations with cleanup of hazardous or toxic waste

sites in order to comply with provisions of the Comprehensive

Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA).

The district can assist in developing a comprehensive plan for

hazardous/toxic waste remediation. The HTW plans also involve

personnel requirements, contracting, health and safety, chemical

data quality management, as well as program coordination. The

District can also provide advice on how best to reduce wastes so

as to minimize future environmental impacts and assure compliance

with the Resource, Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). 

Preliminary HTW assessments and detailed HTW testing and sampling

can also be performed to support site selections and NEPA

documentation requirements. 

(6) Environmental Audits. The district can assist

installations in conducting internal and external Environmental

Audits. This assistance can include preparation of the entire

document or just certain facets. These audits, which are an

environmental compliance review of facility operations,

practices, and records to verify compliance with environmental

laws and regulations, are important in developing annual RCS 1383

reports for reporting environmental funding requirements.

(7) Asbestos Surveys and Removal. Asbestos

identification services for installations are performed by

districts, usually through the use of indefinite delivery type

A-E contracts. Districts can also effectively contract for

asbestos removal.

(8) Cultural Resources Surveys and Evaluation. Cultural

resources must be identified and evaluated as required by the

Archeological and Historic Preservation Act of 1974 and the

National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended. 

Districts can assist an installation with investigations of any

size: from a small plot to large multi-acre areas identified for

new construction or training. 

(9) Design Services for Air and Noise Abatement Projects. 

The district can perform design services for air and noise

abatement projects, such as corrective actions for an incinerator

not meeting state requirements/standards.
EP 420-1-1

31 Jan 92

4-3

(10) Wetland Surveys. Districts can assist installations

with project site selections and NEPA documentation by

identifying, delineating and mapping wetland critical habitat

areas.

b. Permitting. Regulatory authorities and

responsibilities of USACE are based on Section 10 of the Rivers

and Harbors Act of 1899 (33 USC 403) and Section 404 of the Clean

Water Act (33 USC 1344). Section 10 requires a Department of

Army permit for all work proposed within a navigable water of the

United States. Section 404 requires a Department of Army permit

for the discharge of dredged or fill material into waters of the

United States, including wetlands. The district can provide this

service to an installation, if needed, for such activities as

river crossing sites, waterborne troop training exercises, etc. 

c. Underground Storage Tank Program. This environmental

program requires the inventory, survey, reporting and correction

of underground chemical, petroleum, oil and lubricant storage

tanks. The district can provide assistance in meeting survey and

reporting requirements, and can help you develop and execute

projects for correction of those identified as leaking. Cathodic

protection system testing and evaluation, design and technical

assistance are available for underground storage tanks. Such

information is required for the installation, replacement or

upgrade of steel or nonmetallic underground storage tanks and/or

piping components. In addition, testing and technical assistance

on maintenance contracts is available for existing cathodic

protection systems. This program is also supported by

standardized drawings and specifications which may expedite

corrective actions, tank upgrade, replacement or installation

projects.

d. Environmental Base Line Surveys/Preliminary Assessment

Screening. These surveys are required for proposed real estate

transactions. The surveys identify the current status of the

installation, or portion thereof, regarding major or significant

environmental impacts, hazardous and toxic wastes, asbestos,

radon, flood plain management, wetland considerations, and

biological resources.

e. Spill Prevention, Control Countermeasure Plan. This

environmental program requires that a plan be developed to

prevent chemical, petroleum, oil and lubricant spills on military

installations. This plan or a separate plan should address

actions required to immediately put into effect operations to

contain and clean-up spills that do occur.
EP 420-1-1

31 Jan 92

4-4

f. Landfill Closure Plan. The district can help prepare

plans for closure of landfills at installations. A request to

prepare this type of plan should be submitted two to three years

in advance of the anticipated closure in order that all study and

regulatory requirements can be met. Assistance with site

selection for proposed landfills can also be provided. 

g. Flood Plain Management. The objective of the Flood

Plain Management Services Program is to support comprehensive

flood plain management planning at all appropriate governmental

levels and, thereby, to encourage prudent use of the nation's

flood plains. Executive Order 11988 requires each federal

agency, and its installations, to evaluate the effects of its

actions on flood plains, and to avoid financing or issuing

permits for construction in such flood prone areas unless no

practicable alternatives are available. Information provided

through this program includes flood hazard information as well as

a full range of technical services and planning guidance on

techniques for reducing flood damage and damage potential. Some

of the technical services available at the district are:

(1) Flood Hazard Evaluation. Upon request, a district

will evaluate the potential for flood damage at specific sites. 

This evaluation can range from simply providing an expected base

flood elevation to the determination and analysis of possible

protection improvements. This analysis would include the

expected results of the improvement. Although this does not

result in a detailed, designed project, it does provide

information upon which to base funding needs. 

(2) Floodway Determination. In the development of flood

plain zoning, it is sometimes necessary to determine the area of

the flood plain that is required to remain free of development in

order to safely pass the base flood. Districts can determine

these floodway requirements for an installation. 

(3) Flood Plain Regulations. Districts can provide

advice on proper use of an existing flood plain. This could

include zoning regulations and development standards. 

(4) Flood-Proofing. Providing guidance on 

flood-proofing methods and procedures is another service

available. This action usually results in a modification to a

structure to prevent or minimize potential flood damage. 
EP 420-1-1

31 Jan 92

4-5

(5) Emergency Flood Hazard Evacuation Studies. Special

studies can be conducted to develop guidelines for flood

emergency warning and evacuation at an installation. These

studies would include plans for temporary shelter procedures and

provide a base for development of a post-flood recovery plan. 

4-2. Regulatory and Statutory Guidelines.

a. The National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as

amended (NHPA). This Act requires agencies to consider the

effects that an undertaking will have on any resource eligible

for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places. The

findings must be coordinated with the state Historic Preservation

Officer and provided to the Advisory Council on Historic

Preservation. 

b. Archeological Resources Protection Act of 1979 (ARPA).

This requires a federal land manager to issue a permit to any

qualified archeological investigators working on public lands. 

This act prescribes criminal and civil penalties, along with

forfeiture provisions for any person who uses any cultural

resources without correct authorization. 

c. The Clean Water Act, Section 404 (b)(l) Evaluation of

Dredge and Fill Material. 

d. National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. 

e. The Endangered Species Act of 1973. 

f. AR 200-1, Environmental Protection and Enhancement. 

g. AR 200-2, Environmental Effects of Army Actions. 

h. AR 420-40, Facilities Engineering, Historic

Preservation. 

I. Executive Order 11988, Flood Plain Management, 1977. 

4-3. Who Provides These Services.

Within USACE, the environmental program has experienced

rapid growth and is still evolving in many districts.

For any requested environmental services, the Installation

Support Coordinator will forward the installation's request to

either the Planning Division, the Environmental Resources Branch,

the Regulatory Program Branch or other appropriate office.
EP 420-1-1

31 Jan 92

4-6

Additionally, USACE has designated a number of districts to

specialize in hazardous, toxic, radiological waste (HTRW) and

general environmental support work. Generally, one district per

division is designated as the HTRW center of expertise and

Environmental Support District. These districts will have

specialized personnel who are extensively trained in

environmental matters. If an installations normal direct support

district is not an HTRW center of expertise or an Environmental

Support District, the installation can access the specialized

services through their direct support district. In any case, an

Installation Support Coordinator is available to assist in

processing installation requests. The Installation Support

Coordinator can also arrange for specialized environmental

support from USACE laboratories, USACE Civil Works districts, or

the U.S. Army Toxic and Hazardous Materials Agency (USATHAMA).

4-4. How To Obtain These Services.

Use an Installation Support Request Form, call or write to

the district Installation Support Coordinator to initiate a

request for service. The installation should be prepared to

supply the following:

a. An Installation Support Request Form prepared in

general accordance with the sample format (Figure 4-1) at the

last page of this chapter. This form gives a narrative summary of

work or services required. After the support request is

evaluated:

b. Copies of installation records needed to provide the

service. 

c. Applicable documents, correspondence, or regulations. 

d. Document transmitting funds to the district office.

 

4-5. Typical Funding and Time to Accomplish the Service.

a. Costs and time required for environmental services,

and sources for funds. When a request for service is received by

the district, a time and cost estimate will be prepared and

negotiated with the installation. The time and cost for

accomplishing the various requests can range from routine

requests requiring a few hours, costing several hundreds of

dollars, to the more complex evaluations, including field

surveys, requiring several man-months of effort and thousands of

dollars. 
EP 420-1-1

31 Jan 92

4-7

No two environmental support requests are exactly alike, and time

and costs must be tailored to specific requirements. However,

some examples of the average time and cost for typical services

are as follows:

(1) Historic Preservation Plan (HPP)

- 6 to 12 months ($25,000 to $100,000).

(2) Environmental Assessment (EA)

- 3 to 12 months ($10,000 to $100,000).

(3) Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)

- 18 to 36 months ($75, 000 to $250,000).

(4) Asbestos Identification

- varying time (four to six cents per square foot of 

floor area inspected, with identification services 

comparable to those of a typical design contract. 

(5) Environmental Baseline Study (EBS)

- 3 to 6 months ($10,000 to $50,000)

b. Current Army funding policies normally require that

environmental services, except wetlands determination, from the

district be funded by the installation on a cost-reimbursable

basis. Usually, installation Operation and Maintenance funds are

used for this purpose. In exceptional cases, such as the base

realignment and closure initiative, limited funds are available

from Headquarters, Department of the Army to support these

environmental studies. In each case the funding must be

furnished to the district prior to starting the project.

4-6. Examples of Environmental Services.

a. Districts have prepared numerous EAs that often

incorporate many of the other documents highlighted in this

pamphlet. 

b. Environmental Impact Statements have been prepared

ranging in complexity from the development of additional family

housing at an installation to the construction of a harbor

complex for TRIDENT missile submarines.

c. Some entire installations are designated as historic,

while others have limited or no historic structures. Districts

have assisted installations in entering many facilities on the

National Register of Historic Places, or in coordinating actions

for facilities eligible to be on the Register. 
EP 420-1-1

31 Jan 92

4-8

d. District assistance was provided to an installation in

preparing a flood contour map of the entire 140,000 acre

installation, including identification of several flood ways. 

This map has become a part of the installation master plan. In a

broader sense, districts have used their technical expertise in

flood plain management to help other federal agencies and

installations deal with floods and flood-related matters. Flood

plain management services have been provided in support of land

disposal actions associated with the base realignment and closure

initiative. 

e. An ICUZ study was performed for an Air Force Base and

real estate noise easements were purchased as a result of the

study. A noise buffer, based on measurements taken as a part of

the study, virtually eliminates noise complaints from aircraft

operations in the vicinity. In another instance, at an Army

installation, district environmental personnel, along with an

environmental attorney, were able to react to the efforts of a 

nearby community to limit the Army's use of installation firing

ranges.

CHAPTER 5 

REAL ESTATE SUPPORT SERVICES

5-1. Types of Services. The Chief of Engineers is responsible

for management of the Army real estate program. He also has a

major real estate support role for the U.S. Air Force. As a

member of the Army Staff, the Chief of Engineers, advises the

Army on real property planning, acquisition, construction,

maintenance, repair, and disposal. In this dual function, both

the DEH and the district engineer, have active roles to play in

the arena of Army real property. Certain actions are a DEH

responsibility, while others are a direct responsibility of the

supporting USACE district. Regardless of the assignment of

responsibilities, the district addresses each real estate action

as direct support of the DEH or BCE. Specific services 

provided by a district real estate division are described as

follows:

a. Research and prepare required real estate reports for

the expansion, modification or disposal of existing

installations, and for the acquisition of new installations. 

Obtain title evidence. Prepare real estate instruments and

execute those documents within delegated authority. 

b. Acquire real property by purchase, lease or

condemnation. Handle other acquisitions involving donation,

exchange, transfers, withdrawals from public domain, and

recapture for national security leasehold. Generally, major land

items, those costing more than $200,000, are programmed and

authorized through the annual Military Construction

appropriation. Minor land acquisition, not exceeding $200,000,

is authorized and accomplished outside military construction

authorization channels. An exception to the $200,000 threshold

for real property acquisitions for the reserve components exists

under 10 U.S.C. 2233. However, all acquisitions for active and

reserve components which exceed $200,000 are reported to the

Armed Services Committees of Congress in accordance with 10

U.S.C. 2662.

c. Negotiate Army leases, including identification of

both the lessor and the premises to be leased, detailed lease

provisions, establishment of terms, and appraisal for fair and

reasonable payment. 

d. Conduct appraisals and establish rental schedules for

Government-owned land and housing. 
EP 420-1-1

31 Jan 92

5-2

e. Participate in site selections for U.S. Army Reserve

Centers. 

f. Negotiate temporary easements, permits, rights of

entry, maneuver rights and grazing rights for the Army. 

g. Provide assistance in handling annexations by

municipalities. 

h. Provide assistance during mobilization periods,

including acquisition of nonindustrial facilities, leasing,

condemnations, annexations, and exercise of recapture rights.

i. Administer the outgranting program, including leases,

easements, licenses and permits granted by the Government for

private purposes. 

 

j. Research and duplicate legal documents and prepare

maps depicting Federal ownership and other rights. 

k. Provide relocation assistance to displaced persons

affected by Army land acquisition.

l. Provide assistance in preparing the Real Property

Survey Report and accomplishing compliance and utilization

inspections. 

m. Dispose of land, buildings, timber, gravel, etc., at

the request of the installation to include disposal reporting,

pre-disposal investigations of land and buildings for

contamination, hazardous and toxic wastes, explosive hazards,

coastal zone management program, flood plain management program,

historic and cultural resources, asbestos and PCBs. 

n. Provide assistance in the disposal of excess foreign

real estate. 

o. Assist in preparation of reports of excess land for 

submittal to the General Services Administration. 

p. Terminate inleases and outgrants for off-installation 

facilities and housing. 

q. Arrange for provision of homeowners' assistance for

persons displaced through base realignments and closures. 
EP 420-1-1

31 Jan 92

5-3

r. Process and administer damage claims against the

Government arising from use of land under an expressed or implied

real estate instrument, as well as required restorations of real

estate. 

s. Administer the provisions of the McKinney Act

regarding housing facilities for the homeless. 

t. Provide assistance with curative matters regarding

encroachment. 

u. Prepare and execute of build-to-lease and 

lease-purchase arrangements.

v. Provide assistance in determining proper legislative

and legal jurisdiction issues for Army used real property.

w. Execute the disposal of real property assets under

Public Law 100-526, Base Realignment and Closure.

x. Assists installation in determining water rights that

the installation possesses, attempts to secure, or intends to

transfer.

5-2. Regulatory and Statutory Guidelines. The significant

guidelines governing real estate support to military

installations are listed as follows:

a. AR 140-485, Space Allowances: U.S. Army Reserve

Facilities. 

b. AR 210-12, Establishment of Rental Rates for Quarters 

Furnished Federal Employees. 

c. AR 210-17, Inactivation of Installations. 

d. AR 210-20, Master Planning for Army Installations. 

e. AR 405-10, Acquisition of Real Property and Interests 

Therein. 

f. AR 405-20, Federal Legislative Jurisdiction. 

g. AR 405-25, Annexation.

h. AR 405-45, Inventory of Army Real Property. 

i. AR 405-70, Utilization of Real Estate.
EP 420-1-1

5-4

j. AR 405-80, Granting Use of Real Estate.

k. AR 405-90, Disposal of Real Estate. 

5-3. Who Provides These Services.

For real estate support services, the Installation Support

Coordinator will forward the installations request to the

districts real estate division. However, there are many

established working relationships between DEH/BCE real estate

personnel and those in the district or real estate field office. 

It is not necessary to go through our Installation Support

coordinator where these relationships are concerned, but for new

actions not involving established relationships, a work request

form to the Installation Support Coordinator is appropriate. 

5-4. How To Obtain These Services.

Use an Installation Support Request Form, call or write to

the local Installation Support Coordinator to initiate a request

for service. The installation should be prepared to supply the

following:

a. An Installation Support Request Form prepared in

general accordance with the sample format (Figure 5-1) at the

last page of this chapter. The form gives a narrative summary of

work or services required. After the support request is

evaluated:

b. Copies of installation records needed to provide the

service. 

c. Applicable documents, correspondence, or regulations. 

d. Document transmitting funds to the district office.

5-5. Typical Funding and Time to Accomplish the Service.

a. Some districts real estate services are provided on a

nonreimbursable basis using centrally distributed Real Estate

Operations (REO) funds. With current budgetary reductions, more

of this work will require reimbursable funding. In all cases,

real estate support is provided based on an estimated cost that

includes district charges plus administrative overhead. Costs

for a significant real estate action can be large due to the time

required by the real estate staff to complete the necessary

planning, perform possibly complex appraisals, coordinate with

all involved personnel and organizations, etc.
EP 420-1-1

31 Jan 92

5-5

More routine, smaller actions may cost anywhere from a man-day or

two of effort to a visit to the location for which the

installation has requested support. 

b. Real estate support requests will be quickly answered

during any time of the year. Within a typical real estate

division, it is standard for a representative of the office to

telephonically contact the installation within 48 hours of

receipt of a request for support. Often, a site visit to the

installation will occur within that same period of time. 

Naturally, major acquisitions, disposals, or changes in

utilization require substantial lead time to plan, coordinate,

approve and execute.

5-6. Examples of Real Estate Support Services. 

Many district real estate divisions began their military

support functions before our entry into World War II. Some of

their first actions involved the acquisition of land for U.S.

Army Air Corps installations. Later, the mission shifted to

support Army land- based forces and acquisition of land for Army

division-sized installations. At the end of World War II actions

focused on the disposal of installations, some acres of which are

still in the public domain and are recapturable in the event of

mobilization. Currently, real estate actions cover a broad range

of support capabilities, such as:

a. Assisting installations in leasing and outgranting

programs.

b. Management of an installations timber harvesting

program.

c. Preparation of site selection studies for U.S. Army

and U.S. Air Force Reserve Centers.

d. Assisting installations in negotiating mineral

activities with private interests.

e. Identification of wetland and flood-plain areas for

communities located adjacent to Army installations.

f. Negotiation of Air Compatibility Use Zone (ACUZ) for

Air Force bases to maintain noise buffers in takeoff and landing

zones. 

g. Disposal certification for installations planned for

disposal as part of the present base closure initiative.

CHAPTER 6

ARCHITECT-ENGINEER SUPPORT SERVICES

6-1. Types of Services.

a. Types of Architect-Engineer Contracts. A district

can provide a variety of architect-engineer (A-E) support

services to an installation. Title 10 U.S.C. 4540 provides the

authority for utilization of A-E services by the Secretary of the

Army. 10 U.S.C. 2304 (a)(4) authorizes negotiation for

professional services. A statutory limit of six percent for

architectural- engineering services (primary services only)

relating to public works or utility projects was established by

10 U.S.C. 2306d, as implemented by DoD FAR Supplement 36-606. 

Some of the various types of A-E contracts are described as

follows:

(1) Fixed-Price Type Contract (FAR 16.201). A firmfixed-price contract provides for a price that is not subject to

any adjustment on the basis of the contractor's cost experience

in performing the contract. This type of contract places upon

the contractor maximum risk and full responsibility for all costs

and resulting profit or loss. It provides maximum incentive for

the contractor to control costs and perform effectively and

imposes a minimum administrative burden upon the contracting

parties.

(2) Cost-Reimbursement Type Contract (FAR 16.301-1 & 2). 

This type of contract provides for payment of allowable incurred

costs to the extent prescribed in the contract. These contracts

establish an estimate of total cost for the purpose of obligating

funds and establishing a ceiling that the contractor may not

exceed (except at its own risk) without the approval of the

contracting officer. Cost-reimbursable contracts are suitable

for use only when uncertainties involved in contract performance

do not permit costs to be established with sufficient accuracy to

use any type of fixed-price contract.

(3) Letter Contracts (FAR 16.603). A letter contract is

a written preliminary contractual instrument that authorizes an

A-E to begin work immediately. Final terms of the contract must

ordinarily be definitized within 180 calendar days after contract

award. The negotiated agreement is then awarded as a

modification to the letter contract, and is referred to as

contract definitization.
EP 420-1-1

31 Jan 92

6-2

The letter contract stipulates a not-to-exceed amount, and limits

the amount that may be expended before definitization to no more

than 40% of this amount. The not-to-exceed amount is determined

by developing a Government cost estimate. The terms of the

letter contract also limit the maximum liability of the

Government in case of termination to 50% of the not-to-exceed

amount. A letter contract may only be used when both of the

following conditions are met:

(a) the negotiation of a definitive or defined scope of

work and price is not possible in sufficient time to meet the

Governments requirements, and

(b) the Governments interests demand that the A-E be

given a binding commitment so contract performance can begin

immediately.

Advance authority to utilize a letter contract must be obtained

from HQUSACE. A request for authority to award a letter

contract, in any amount, must include complete justification

(except certain emergency/disaster situations), and shall be

staffed through technical and legal elements, and submitted to

HQUSACE through contracting channels. It is also important to

note that the scope of work of a letter contract may not be

modified after work has begun, without HQUSACE approval.

(4) Indefinite Delivery Contracts (AFARS 36.602). This

type of contract is the primary means through which a district

can support an installation. This type of contract is used when

there is recurring demand for an item, but the timing and/or

extent of the demand are not certain. The contract establishes

all terms that are sure; however, orders are not placed until the

need arises. Since this type of contract is such an important

asset to an installation support program, an explanation of the

selection, award and administration process is included in this

section. And, since the contract can be administered by either

the district or the installation, procedures for each method are

addressed.

b. The Selection and Award of an Indefinite Delivery

Contract ( with contract administration by the installation). 

(1) The installation engineer formally requests that the

district obtain an indefinite delivery contract for accomplishing

architect-engineer services. The requesting letter details the

type of service required: civil, electrical, mechanical,

structural, architectural, environmental, life safety, sanitary,

or a combination thereof.
EP 420-1-1

31 Jan 92

6-3

The letter must also state who the proposed COR/ACOR will be. 

Funds to cover district costs for preparation, negotiation and

award of the basic contract must also be provided with the

initial request. In most cases the district has established a

flat rate fee for this acquisition service.

(2) Upon receipt of an installations request, the

district develops a synopsis for publication in the Commerce

Business Daily (CBD). The synopsis appears in the CBD for one

day and must allow at least 30 calendar days for interested A-E

firms to submit a Standard Form 255 depicting their

qualifications, experience and desire to be considered for the

contract.

(3) The district will then invite the installation to

nominate two individuals for appointment to the pre-selection and

selection boards. Two individuals are necessary since the same

person cannot serve on both boards. 

(4) When the 30-day period has expired the district will

convene a pre-selection board to review all SF 255's and other

information available on the firms who responded to the synopsis. 

This board will disqualify or eliminate firms not meeting the

minimum qualifications needed or contract requirements specified

in the CBD.

(5) The selection board will further evaluate the firms

recommended by the pre-selection board and will rank the top

firms for a negotiating order.

(6) Negotiate with the A-E or A-E's in the approved order

of the selection board's preference to establish direct salary

rates, general and administrative (G&A) overhead and overhead on

direct labor that the firm intends to utilize throughout the life

of the contract.

(7) The contract includes a provision that the Government

obligates itself for no less than $2,500 during the life of the

contract, therefore the installation must ensure such funds are

available at the district prior to the anticipated award date.

(8) If negotiations are successful and the minimum $2,500

is on hand the indefinite delivery contract may be awarded. 

(9) Upon award, the Contracting Officer signs a letter

designating the installation engineer, the Deputy or Chief,

Engineering Plans and Services Division as the contracting

officer's representative (COR) for the contract. 
EP 420-1-1

31 Jan 92

6-4

Contracting officer authority is retained by the district

however, administrative contracting authority can be transferred

to the installation Directorate of Contracting. A copy of the

contract and record of negotiations is furnished the COR, and

procedures are established for processing and executing delivery

orders.

(10) In accordance with ER 715-1-15, steps 1 through 8

above will be accomplished in approximately 109 calendar days for

a standard indefinite delivery contract without an option year.

c. Selection and Award of an Indefinite Delivery Contract 

(with contract administration by the district). The procedures

are the same except that:

(1) The letter authorizing the selection is generated

within the district based upon anticipated or known requirements

which will be requested of the district.

(2) Inviting installation representatives to participate

on the selecting boards may be more complex if the A-E is to be

utilized at a number of installations.

(3) The $2,500 necessary for contract award may not be

available until an actual request for support is received from a

supported installation.

(4) COR responsibilities are retained at the district.

d. Administration of Delivery Orders. Basic procedures

are as follows:

(1) When a need arises the COR or a project manager

contacts the A-E after determination is made that the service can

be accomplished by delivery order. A meeting is scheduled, at

the project site, to clarify or establish a statement of work. 

This meeting should be attended by the project manager, the using

agency or units, the installation representative and someone from

the area/resident engineer office. 

(2) Design criteria are furnished to the A-E, including

user-generated requirements. The most important thing to be

provided at this time is a complete project scope of work and the

description of A-E services to be performed.

(3) A detailed record is made of the pre-design

conference. The A-E either prepares or signs this record

indicating that the scope of the proposed contract is understood

and necessary design criteria have been received. 
EP 420-1-1

31 Jan 92

6-5

(4) A Government cost estimate is prepared in preparation

for price negotiations between the district and the A-E. The

Government estimate is prepared using the detailed analysis

method. A profit of between 7% and 15% is allowed the A-E as

part of the estimate. Primary design costs are limited by law to

6% or less of the estimated project cost. 

(5) The A-E is requested to submit a proposal and

negotiations are conducted between the Government and the A-E in

accordance with district procedures.

(6) Pre-negotiation and post-negotiation Business

Clearance Memoranda (BCM) are required for contracts over

$100,000 and sometimes utilized for individual delivery orders. 

Together, they incorporate a record of the decisions, actions,

and approvals that are involved in a negotiated procurement

action. 

(7) When negotiations have been successfully concluded

and all necessary documents have been signed, a delivery order is

prepared at the district and signed by the A-E and then the

contracting officer. When the fully executed contract is

transmitted to the A-E, a notice to proceed with the work is

given.

6-3. Who Provides These Services.

For architect-engineer services, the Installation Support

Coordinator will forward the installations request to either the

Contracting Division or to the A-E Contract Support or Engineer

Support Section of the Engineering or Programs and Project

Management Division. In all cases, the Installation Support

Coordinator will receive, coordinate and monitor the

installations request. 

6-4. How To Obtain These Services.

Use an Installation Support Request Form, or formal letter

to the district Installation Support Coordinator to initiate a

request for service. The installation should be prepared to

supply the following:

a. A letter or Installation Support Request Form prepared

in general accordance with the sample format (Figure 6-1) at the

last page of this chapter which gives a narrative summary of what

professional services and qualifications are required. Typical

or standard selection factors are as follows:

(1) Professional qualifications necessary for

satisfactory performance of required services.

(2) Specialized experience and technical competence in

the type of work required.

(3) Capacity to accomplish the work in the required time.

(4) Past performance on contracts with Government

agencies in terms of cost control, quality of work and compliance

with performance schedules.

(5) Location in the general geographic area of the

project and knowledge of the locality.

(6) Volume of work previously awarded to the firm by DoD.

b. Who the installation desires to serve as COR and a

statement of their qualifications, if not previously furnished.

c. Whether the installation engineer wishes to

participate on the pre-selection and selection boards, and if so,

who the representatives will be.

d. Document transmitting funds to the district office.
EP 420-1-1

6-5. Typical Funding and Time to Accomplish the Service.

a. Funding. Funding is required for each of the three

phases of the indefinite delivery contract cycle. The three

phases are: the selection process, contract award, and processing

and award of individual delivery orders. Funding required at

each phase is as follows:

(1) The selection process. When an installation requests

that a district select an indefinite delivery contract for

exclusive use by an installation, the district charges a fee to

cover all costs associated with the selection process. This fee

funds all activities from receipt of the installation's request,

to contract award. This fee typically ranges from $4,000 to

$6,000.

(2) Contract award. Once the selection process is

complete and approved for award, $2,500 is required to

obligate/award the basic contract. These funds cover the

Government commitment that the selected A-E will receive, as a

minimum, $2,500 throughout the life of the contract. The

installation normally provides these funds by a DA Form 2544 or a

MIPR.

(3) Processing and award of individual delivery orders. 

The district also charges a fee to process/award each individual

delivery order. This fee varies significantly from district to

district depending upon the degree of assistance/support

requested by the installation. District assistance can be simply

staffing a delivery order (negotiated, packaged and funded by the

installation) to the district Contracting Officer for signature. 

In some cases districts assist in project scope development

and/or negotiations, and prepare delivery order packages for

staffing and award. Therefore, this processing/award fee may

range from $200 to $1,500 per delivery order.

b. Time. Selection time for a single year, $400,000

maximum fee indefinite delivery order contract averages four

months. Selections with unique requirements, or those requiring

an audit, will take more time. Detailed timelines for indefinite

delivery and other contract types are contained in ER 715-1-15.

CHAPTER 7

ENGINEERING SUPPORT SERVICES

7-1. Types of Services.

a. Studies and Investigations. Districts are involved in

special studies and investigations as varied as the imagination

of the requestor. Examples are: seismic and structural analyses,

building and land utilization studies, economic payback studies

for the Energy Conservation Investment Program, various

installation utilities systems studies and plans, electrical

protective system studies, electric power load studies, corrosion

control inspections and surveys, the Energy Engineering Analysis

Program (EEAP), materials testing and evaluation, evaluation of

insulation values in various facilities, soils and foundation

analyses, hydraulics and hydrological studies of aquifers,

airfield aircraft parking and hardstand studies, Commercial

Activities Studies for certain DEH functions, component

inspection for family housing, and scope of work development for

any type of project. 

b. Dam and Bridge Inspection. A special capability is

the evaluation of dams and bridges, regardless of the age of the

structure or background regarding its design or construction. 

c. Design. USACE districts are known for their mission

as the design and construction agent for Military Construction,

Army (MCA), Military Construction, Air Force (MCAF), Military

Construction, Army Reserve (MCAR), Defense Logistics Agency (DLA)

and industrial projects for the installations within their

geographic area of responsibility. However, in addition to these

programs, Installation Support is also a USACE mission assigned

by HQDA (AR 420-10 and AR 10-87). Under the Installation Support

Program, districts support the installation engineer in the

execution of reimbursable funded programs such as Operations and

Maintenance, Nonappropriated Fund, Family Housing, Industrial

appropriations, and any other project or requirement that the

installation identifies to the district. The district can

provide scope development, design, contracting and construction

services (partial or all) for these type projects. The district

must understand the importance of each installation project,

their time and cost sensitivity, and respond quickly to provide

the type of service requested. The programming, project

initiation process, and design cycle work flow for a reimbursable

project varies greatly from that utilized for MILCON projects. A

comparison of Reimbursable vs. MILCON procedures is shown on the

next three pages in Figure 7-1 through Figure 7-9.

d. Reviews. In addition to the reviews normally

conducted on work supervised by the district, the district can

assist with the review of locally prepared components of the

installation master plan/base comprehensive plan and mobilization

master plan, annual work plan, land management plan, DD forms

1391, project development brochures and project definition

documents, installation-prepared designs, surveys, studies to

include value engineering studies, procurement actions relating

to utility services, construction contracting documents and

construction management activities.

e. Surveying. Districts can accomplish topographical

mapping, field engineering, geodetic and plane surveys, profiles

and cross sections, and cadastral surveys. Each military

construction project normally requires these data to ensure the

proper relationship between existing and new construction

Installations can save both time and money by using survey data

obtained as part of major construction projects or Operations and

Maintenance funded projects. 

f. Interior Design Services. A relatively new district

service is interior design. This service may be available from

the direct support district, or from the center of expertise for

interior design at the Omaha District. Interior design is a part

of the Army Communities of Excellence Program and the district

can provide the installation and its customers with innovative

ideas for rehabilitating existing space and planning attractive

interiors in new facilities. 

g. Cost Engineering. Districts can prepare estimates for

construction programming documents, pre-concept control data,

various estimates as design proceeds, and current working

estimates for construction projects.

h. Specifications. Districts can also prepare

construction specifications for major construction projects and

for reimbursable funded projects. Techniques such as Simplified

Design Methods and Abridged Corps of Engineer Guide

Specifications (ACEGS) were recently developed to streamline and

reduce the cost for a district to prepare designs for

reimbursable funded project. 

i. Forensic Engineering. Many installations have one or

more facilities suffering from conditions such as progressively

cracking walls, abnormal foundation settlement, or expansion and

contraction causing roof leaks. Installations should consider

analyzing such items to properly fix the problem or avoid them in

the design of alteration projects or constructing new facilities. 
EP 420-1-1

31 Jan 92

7-6

j. Value Engineering (VE). Millions of dollars are saved

yearly by VE studies that result in alternative construction

techniques and state of the art materials. The District has a

value engineering staff that performs VE studies of projects and

acts as a collection point on new and innovative means of

performing construction. Some VE studies are performed by A-E

firms. Mandatory VE review of military construction projects of

$2,000,000 and over is a current requirement. This service is

available to your installation and should be included early in

the design process, particularly if funding problems exist. 

k. Technical Criteria. The District has the capability

to provide information on technical criteria (commercial, local,

federal, DOD, Army, Air Force, professional society/association,

etc.) to you and your installation customers. A new compact disk

read only-memory (CD-ROM) system for storage and retrieval of

technical criteria is now available at the District office, and

is also available for subscription by installation design

personnel.

7-2. Regulatory and Statutory Guidelines.

An abbreviated list of guidelines applicable to

engineering support services is presented as follows: 

a. AR 5-3, Installation Management and Organization. 

b. AR 210-50, Family Housing Management. 

 

c. AR 415-15, Military Construction, Army (MCA) Program

7-7

7-3. Who Provides These Services.

For engineering support services, the district

Installation Support Coordinator will forward the installations

request to either the Technical Engineering Division or to the

Project Management Branch of the Engineering/Programs and Project

Management Division. In all cases, the Installation Support

Coordinator will receive, coordinate and monitor the installation

request. 

7-4. How To Obtain These Services.

Use an Installation Support Request Form, call or write to

the district Installation Support coordinator to initiate a

request for service. The installation should be prepared to

supply the following:

a. An Installation Support Request Form. This form gives

a narrative summary of work or services required. After the

support request is evaluated:

b. Copies of installation records needed to provide the

service. 

c. Applicable documents, correspondence, or regulations. 

d. Document transmitting funds to the district office.

7-5. Typical Funding and Time to Accomplish the Service.

a. The cost and time to accomplish engineering services

vary significantly based upon the scope of the request. 

Therefore, a district is unable to publish fixed cost or timeline

data that will accurately apply to each service that an

installation could request. However, some typical or average

costs (Figure 7-10) and timelines (Figure 7-11 through Figure 7-

14) for some of the more traditional activities are presented in

the figures that follow. These examples will be beneficial to

the installation as guideline, or order of magnitude costs for

planning or programming purposes.

7-8

 Figure 7-10. Typical Reimbursable Project Execution Costs.

 
EP 420-1-1

31 Jan 92

7-9

Other example cost guidelines for non-design related engineering

services are as follows:

TASK OR ITEM OF WORK APPROX. COST

Establish an Indefinite Delivery A-E Contract. $ 5,000

Processing cost per Delivery Order. $ 500

Payback analysis for ECIP project. $ 5,000

Structural analysis for one floor

 of permanent building. $10,000

Provide drainage requirements for creek. $ 5,000

Perform foundation analysis for building site. $10,000

Electrical distribution analysis and plan

 for an installation. $100,000

b. Funding for engineering services is normally

reimbursable, from the installation to the district, except in

the case of design for military construction projects and special

programs, e.g., ECIP, Environmental Audit Baselines. If

centralized, nonreimbursable program funds are available from

HQUSACE, the Installation Support Coordinator will attempt to

utilize these where appropriate.

c. Performance time for engineering services is, to a

large extent, governed by procurement time. Time to award a

contract for A-E services is approximately 120 days, if a DCAA

audit is not required. Since the majority of the installation

support requests involve reimbursable funded projects, with

single year funding, this 120-day selection time could jeopardize

successful project completion in a timely manner. Therefore,

each district must ensure that adequate indefinite delivery type

contracts are on-hand, at the district, to handle potential

installation requests. The time to accomplish an engineering

study or design after the A-E has been selected can vary from a

month or less for a small project to over a year for a complex

study or design. Time required for engineering studies, surveys,

tests and evaluation is somewhat more flexible, depending on the

scope of the requirement. 
EP 420-1-1

31 Jan 92

7-10

In any case, the installation must be assured that the district

will initiate action on each request in a timely manner and that

any necessary visits from those who will provide the service will

occur within ten working days after a request is received at the

district.

d. Time Required for Delivery of Engineering Services.

Installations should be encouraged to submit requests for design

services for Operation and Maintenance or reimbursable funded

projects as soon as a firm requirement exists and funds are

available. Ideally, design projects requiring year end

construction contract award should be submitted to the district

by the fourth quarter of the previous fiscal year, or the start

of fiscal year when construction contract award is required. 

However, most districts are, as an exception to policy, able to

handle previously unknown requirements on a case by case basis

when received later in the fiscal year. Other requests for

engineering services, such as studies and investigations, are

usually not so time-critical because they have shorter

acquisition lead times or do not require follow-on construction

contract award at year end.

7-6. Examples of Engineering Support Services. 

a. Depicting examples of typical engineering support

services could be a boundless task. The type of services

requested by installations should be as broad as the imagination

of the requestor. Therefore, instead of presenting examples of

engineer support requests at the end of this chapter, the

processes associated with accomplishing such requests are

presented. Knowledge of these processes will assist the

installation engineers in their planning efforts and emphasize

their role in the process the district takes to complete their

requested support action.

b. A guide depicting when the installations should

request district engineering support requests, as well as

timelines for a typical study, design and the solicitation for

construction contract award process, are as follows.

CHAPTER 8 

CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT

8-1. Types of Services.

a. The primary functions of the district Construction

Division are quality assurance, contract administration, funds

control, and construction project management. The Chief,

Construction Division supervises the district construction

activities. This individual advises contracting officers on

construction management matters and is directly responsible to

the district commander for management of assigned construction

programs (including the quality, cost and timeliness of the

facilities constructed) and for the performance and operation of

designated facilities until they are formally accepted by the

user. 

b. The area or resident engineer is charged with

administering construction contracts and is in daily contact with

the contractor. This individual is formally appointed by the

contracting officer as the administrative contracting officer

(ACO) with specific authorities and monetary limitations for each

contract administered by that office.

c. The construction manager, located in the construction

division at the district office, provides the interface between

the district engineering division, the construction division, the

life cycle project manager, and the area/resident engineer and

the district office.

d. Working together, the above mentioned team members

have the primary responsibility of accomplishing the following

activities in support of an installation's construction

requirement:

(1) Quality Assurance. This function involves

enforcement of the technical provisions and quality control

provisions of the contract. The Corps Quality Assurance/Quality

Control system is described in ER 1180-1-6.

(2) Quality Assurance for Hazardous and Toxic Waste

Program. This type of quality assurance differs technically from

the provisions found in a design and construction contract. 

Presently, some districts obtain the assistance of Omaha District

(a USACE Center of Expertise for HTW projects) to provide these

services.
EP 420-1-1

31 Jan 92

8-2

(3) Supervision and Administration During Construction. 

Supervision and administration are provided by the area/resident

engineer and district construction project manager in accordance

with the relationship described above. 

(4) Warranties. ER 415-345-38, Construction Transfer and

Warranties, prescribes procedures for the transfer of completed

construction to the installation and for the implementation of

warranties. It also requires the district to correct design

defects discovered by the installation engineer after transfer by

the most expedient means. Design defects discovered in this

manner, or as a result of periodic joint warranty inspections

performed at four months and nine months after transfer, are

recorded and entered in the Construction Evaluation Reporting

System (CERS).

(5) Construction Contractor Performance Evaluation. The

Corps utilizes a systematic approach to evaluating, recording and

reporting construction contractor performance. The objective of

this process is to avoid doing business with nonresponsible

contractors. The system is known as the Construction Contractor

Appraisal Support System (CCASS). Both interim and final

performance evaluations are entered into the system and the

resultant information is used to screen bidders on current and 

future construction solicitations.

(6) Architect-Engineer Title II Services. An A-E

contract may be structured to contain an option for "Title II"

services. These services provide for assistance by the A-E to

the government during construction and may include visits to the

construction site for inspection of the work or other assistance,

review of shop drawings, and other contract submittals, source

inspection and test witnessing at a supplier's plant, or

engineering and design during construction. The construction

manager will usually be the design project manager's point of

contact for the exercise of the contract option, funding,

monitoring of A-E performance, and payment. Very early

coordination is required during contract development to include

the Title II option and ensure that the services needed by the

construction supervisor will be provided.

(7) Architect-Engineer Responsibilities. The degree of 

reliance on the A-E to check their designs and assure a quality

job has necessarily increased in recent years. The A-E is paid

to do a job and profit is provided with due consideration for

risk. 
EP 420-1-1

31 Jan 92

8-3

Therefore, a professional and impartial review by district

engineering division personnel and the design project manager is

accomplished to determine the quality of the A-E's work, the

existence of any design deficiencies, and if there is any A-E

liability involved. (NOTE: ER 715-1-10 establishes a systematic

and formalized approach to investigating and pursuing A-E

liability. This process improves future designs by causing

better A-E quality assurance procedures implementation during the

design process.) 

(8) Change Orders. During construction, the need for a

change to the project may occur. There are two principal types

of change order requests. The first is called "operability"

changes, which are unavoidable changes that are required to

construct a complete and operable facility. Such changes

originate from unforeseen factors discovered during 

the design and/or construction of the project. The other type of

change order request is called "user originated," which is an

elective or enhancement nature change, as opposed to an

operability necessity, that are originated at the installation or

Major Command. Changes relating to incorporation of Major

Command, installation, or using organization criteria, mission

changes, or facility use requirements are considered as user

originated changes.

8-3. Who Provides These Services.

For construction management support services, the district

Installation Support Coordinator will forward the installation

request either to the Construction Division or to the local area

or resident engineer's office. In all cases, the Installation

Support Coordinator will receive, coordinate and monitor the

installation request. 

 

8-4. How To Obtain These Services.

Use an Installation Support Request Form, or call or write

to the district Installation Support coordinator to initiate a

request for service, or contact the local area or resident

engineer office. The installation should be prepared to supply

the following:

a. An Installation Support Request Form prepared in

general accordance with the sample format (Figure 8-3) at the

last page of this chapter. This form gives a narrative summary of

work or services required.

 

b. Copies of installation records needed to provide the

service. 

c. Applicable documents, correspondence, or regulations. 

d. Document transmitting funds to the district office.

 
EP 420-1-1

8-5. Typical Funding and Time to Accomplish the Service.

a. Corps of Engineers districts are unique as an

organizational element of the Federal Government in that they do

not generally receive operating funds from the Federal budget. 

Instead, Corps districts and operating divisions are primarily

funded on a project-by-project reimbursable basis. All operating

costs must be supported through "revenues" provided by its

customers for services rendered. Thus, district and operating

divisions operate on a cost distribution concept. Under this

concept, general and/or administrative expenses associated with

day-to-day operations must be equitably distributed to all direct

funded and reimbursable projects. 

b. Cost of construction management with the type of the

construction contract (O&M or MILCON). For a MILCON construction

contract, costs run at 6% of the value of the construction

placed. For operations and maintenance/reimbursable funded work

consisting of minor construction and maintenance and repair work

which require many of the same administrative procedures as

larger scale projects, costs run higher. Current rates for O&M

funded work are 8% for CONUS projects and 8.5% for OCONUS. While

construction management funds for MILCON are appropriated by

Congress along with funds for the actual construction, funding of

S&A for reimbursable funded projects is provided by the

installation, major command, or nonappropriated funding source.

c. Supervision and administration (S&A) charges are

levied by the districts and operating divisions on all projects

executed by the Corps. The S&A charge is passed on to the

installation customer in the form of a flat percentage rate and

covers the costs of construction management during the

construction phase of a project. Construction management costs

include efforts of the construction and engineering divisions,

area, resident or field offices, legal, resource management, and

their associated overhead. 

d. District efforts are funded by S&A money once the

design has been completed and the construction contractor has

been selected. All S&A monies collected during a fiscal year

must reflect charges on construction work placed during that

fiscal year; S&A funds for work not placed are returned to the

installation and any remaining S&A fee will be charged to the

installation during the following fiscal year. Figure 8-2

provides funding guidelines which may help simplify this process.

With proper planning, installations and districts and eliminate

excessive year-end transfers of large sums of S&A and other funds

required for construction contract management. 
EP 420-1-1

31 Jan 92

8-7

e. Other fees that may be levied for construction

projects include contract fees for providing contracting division

services, fees for (constructability) design reviews by

construction division, contingency amounts to meet unforeseen

contract requirements, and a charge for preparation of as-built

drawings. 

f. When to ask for this service and normal duration. 

Lead times needed to initiate construction management depend upon

the complexity of the construction contract itself. A general

rule is to allow three months between the time the installation

requests support and the time the district becomes an active

participant in the management of the contract.

CHAPTER 9

SPECIAL SUPPORT SERVICES

9-1. Contracting.

a. Definition of Contracting Services. The district

contracting division performs the following functions: 

(1) Is consultant and principal advisor to the district

commander and other district staff members on all acquisition

policy and procedural matters (except real estate). Is

responsible for district acquisition activities from advance

planning through completion and delivery. 

(2) Plans, directs and exercises staff supervision over

contracting functions of the district. Provides for full and

with CICA. 

(4) Provides staff surveillance over the contract

administration function for the district to assure compliance

with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), DFARS, AFARS,

EFARS, and other pertinent laws and regulations, and the terms

and conditions of contracts and purchase orders. This function

does not include management of those aspects of contract

administration which involve supervision, inspection, and review

of contractor performance. 

(5) Interprets and implements higher authority decisions

and directives that affect the contracting and purchasing

functional areas and develops new or revised procedures to assure

compliance. 

(6) Participates in advance procurement planning of

district requirements, providing expertise in such areas as the

breakout of the requirements, contract type, and method of

procurement. Maximizes competition. On actions other than full

and open competition, prepares appropriate justification and

(g) Ensures that the official contract documentation is

complete and that an accountability trail facilitates review of

contract modifications. Conducts post-award reviews of

modifications. 

(h) Performs or arranges for the performance of

inspection and acceptance of all materials, supplies and

equipment purchased or transferred by the Government, except for

materials and equipment to be incorporated into construction

projects. Inspections requiring technical skills will be

performed by appropriate staff divisions. Assigns, furnishes

detailed instructions for, and monitors inspection when it is

determined that points-of-origin inspection is necessary and to

be accomplished by other districts and DoD agents. Reviews

contract administration actions taken or performed by other

elements of the district to assure compliance with applicable

law, regulations, and policies, and provides recommendations to

the commander for improvements and corrections in district

contract administration procedures. 

b. Types of Contracts. A wide selection of contract

types is available to provide the needed flexibility in acquiring

the large variety and volume of supplies and services required. 

Contract types vary according to (1) the degree and timing of the

responsibility assumed by the contractor for the cost of

performance and (2) the amount and nature of the profit incentive

offered to the contractor for achieving or exceeding specified

standards or goals. The contract types are grouped into two

broad categories: fixed-price contracts and cost-reimbursement

contracts. The specific contract types range from firm-fixedprice, in which the contractor has full responsibility for the

performance costs and resulting profit (or loss), to cost-plusfixed-fee, in which the contractor has minimal responsibility for

the performance costs and the negotiated fee (profit) is fixed.

In between are the various incentive contracts, in which the

contractor's responsibility for the performance costs and the

profit or fee incentives offered are tailored to the

uncertainties involved in contract performance.
EP 420-1-1

31 Jan 92

9-4

Some of the special categories of contracts extensively used by

districts in support of the installation are:

(1) Architect-Engineer (A-E) contracts. 

(2) Job Order Contract (JOC). A competitively awarded

firm fixed price, indefinite quantity contract which consists of

a collection of detailed task specifications encompassing most

aspects of facilities engineering construction work. For each of

the tasks listed in the contract, a unit of measure and a

corresponding unit price are included. Offerors are required to

propose two coefficients or multipliers (one for normal working

hours and one for other than normal working hours). During

contract execution the unit price listed in the contract is

multiplied by the appropriate coefficient to determine the actual

price of that item. Each job order required by the DEH is broken

down into these individual tasks of work, and a total price is

developed based upon the government unit price and the

contractor's multiplier(s). After agreement, the DEH or the

supporting USACE district issues a delivery order for performance

of the work. The Individual Job Order Request (IJO) (DA Form

4283) prepared by the facilities occupant at the supported

installation normally serves as the basis for initiating the

delivery order.

(3) Small Purchase. Small purchase procedures are used

to make purchases of $25,000 or less. Under the small purchase

system, procurement is normally accomplished after oral or

written solicitation. 

(4) Services Contracts. The full range of service

contracting support is available from the district contracting

division.

(5) Basic Ordering Agreements. These are preliminary

agreements, not enforceable contracts. They merely define the

general provisions that will apply when a contract is awarded at

a future date. Thus, they are time savers in dealing with

suppliers or firms on a recurring basis. However, competition is

required in accordance with FAR 13.106 and synopsis is required

in accordance with FAR 5.2.

(6) Supply Contracting. The full range of supply

contracting is also available from the district contracting

division.
EP 420-1-1

31 Jan 92

9-5

(7) Construction Contracts. The award of a construction

contract can follow varied procurement procedures depending upon

the scope, complexity or type of requirement. Invitation for

Bids (IFB), Request for Proposals (RFP), One Step, Two Step,

Design-Build/Turnkey, JOC and Small Purchase are some of the

methods for obtaining a construction contract award. Time

requirements for the award of a construction contract, using

Invitation for Bid procedures, are presented in figure 7-14 of

chapter 7.

(8) Laboratory and Testing Services. Professional

laboratory and testing support is obtained by means of a service

or A-E contract as described previously. 

(9) Surveying. Surveying services are procured in a

manner similar to the A-E contracting procedure described

previously.

c. Regulatory and Statutory Guidelines for Contracting. 

Applicable portions of the following regulations:

(1) Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR).

(2) DoD Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplements

(DFARS).

(3) Army Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement

(AFARS).

(4) Engineer Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement

(EFARS).

d. How to Obtain These Services. District contracting

support is normally provided only in conjunction with engineering

or construction-related support. The district Installation

Support coordinator is the first point of contact when requesting

procurement-related services. Contract management for 

construction projects is handled by the construction division,

through the construction manager at the district office and by

area and resident engineer offices. The majority of other

contract management functions are handled by the district

contracting division. The Installation Support Coordinator will

direct all requests for support to the appropriate action office. 

e. When to Ask for this Service and Normal Duration. 

Procurement-related support should be requested when requirements

are first known. Procurement is heavily regulated, so early

involvement by the district is important. 
EP 420-1-1

9-6

f. Typical Funding and Time to Accomplish Contract

Related Support Services. Some typical cost guidelines and

timelines for accomplishing contracting activities associated

with the A-E selection process and the construction contract

advertisement process are presented in chapters 6 and 7 of this

pamphlet. The cost and time for other types of contracting

support are determined based upon the scope and complexity of the

service requested by the installation. In general, contracting

activities in conjunction with MILCON actions are funded through

the MILCON action, while reimbursable actions are funded by the

installation or MACOM.

9-2. Legal. District legal services are provided in conjunction

with engineering, environmental, planning or construction

services purchased from the district. Legal services are not

normally provided separately from these district support

services. 

9-3. Public Affairs.

a. Definition of Services. The district Public Affairs

Office (PAO) provides the following services:

(1) Publicly communicates the policies and viewpoints of

the district on matters pertaining to the work of USACE and is

the primary spokesperson to the news media. Other members of the

staff may be called upon by the PAO to provide technical

information to the media. 

(2) Advises the district commander and key staff of

public affairs matters. 

(3) Maintains effective relations with news media and

with organized groups who use information about USACE activities

Secretary of the Army Program. 

(9) Maintains liaison with other federal, state, and

local 

agency public affairs activities and coordinates public affairs

efforts among affected agencies, as appropriate. 

b. Regulatory and Statutory Guidelines for Public

Affairs. Public affair offices are organized and operate under

the ER 10-1-3, Organizations and Functions, Divisions and

Districts. 

c. How to Obtain These Services. Use an Installation

Support Request Form, call or write the local Installation

Support Coordinator to initiate a request for service. The

audiovisual and publications branches of the Office of Public

Affairs will provide most of the services requested. In some

instances, the district will coordinate a request through the

public affairs offices at their division or at HQUSACE. 

The installation should first approach their own Public Affairs

Office to determine if the service can be accomplished locally. 

After coordination with the local PAO, and determining that

district support is necessary, the installation should supply the

following with their request to the district:

(1) An Installation Support Request Form which gives a

narrative summary of work or services required.

c. How to Obtain These Services. The installation should

first approach their Safety Office to determine if the service

can be accomplished locally. After coordination with the local

office, and determining that district support is necessary, the

installation should supply the following to the district

Installation Support Coordinator with their request to the

district:

(1) An Installation Support Request Form which gives a

narrative summary of work or services required.

(2) Copies of installation records, documents or

correspondence needed to provide the service. 

(3) Document transmitting funds to the district office. 
EP 420-1-1

9-11

d. Typical Funding and Time to Accomplish the Service. 

 

(1) Funding. Installation reimbursement is the normal

means of meeting the costs of these services. These costs vary

depending upon the service requested. The following costs are

offered only as a guide for an installation to use when budgeting

for district support services:

(a) Occupational Safety and Health Act pre-inspection of

a job site - $2,000.

(b) Industrial hygiene survey, analysis and report on a

DEH complex - $75,000 to $100,000.

month between the time that a request for support services is

forwarded to the district and the time that the service needs to

be performed. If a one or two day visit to the installation will

fill the request, a shorter lead time is possible. Requests for

complex services, such as industrial hygiene surveys of entire

activities, will involve procurement of contract services, which 

will take as long as six months. Likewise, the duration of

service varies considerably with the type of work requested. A

spot inspection, pre-inspection, or training session can take

only a day or two. A complex industrial hygiene survey can take

as long as 8-10 months before results are analyzed and published. 
EP 420-1-1

31 Jan 92

9-12

9-5. Training.

a. Definition of Services. The district Employee

Development or Training Branch of the Human Resources Office is

responsible for developing and maintaining programs to meet the

developmental needs of its members and serviced activities. 

Examples of these programs include new member orientation and

technical and managerial training. Formal personnel servicing

agreements often enable installations to obtain services,

including training, from a districts Human Resources Office. 

However, in the absence of such agreements, installations are

still encouraged to contact the district for information about

Proponent Sponsored Engineer Corps Training (PROSPECT) program

courses. The PROSPECT program offers both classroom and

exportable training courses. 

b. Regulatory and Statutory Guidelines for Training. The

Human Resources Office is organized and operates under the policy

of ER 10-1-36. Guidelines for training can best be found in AR

690-400, chapter 410, and ER 350-1-414, PROSPECT Program.

c. How to Obtain These Services. Installations without

their own civilian personnel servicing are encouraged to contact

the district Human Resources Office and develop formal servicing

agreements which include training. Installations with their own

servicing may obtain USACE training by contacting the Corps

Registrar, located within the Huntsville Training Division, at

(205) 722-5821/5822, or DSN: 788-4377/4378.

d. Typical Funding and Time to Accomplish the Service.

(1) Funding. A district does not charge for assisting 

installations with enrollment in Corps of Engineers sponsored

training courses. However, there is a tuition charge for all

students registering for PROSPECT classroom courses. Additional

information about course objectives, tuition and availability is

obtainable from the Huntsville Training Division Registrar. 

NOTE: Additionally, a number of video-based exportable training

courses are available for purchase by installations. These are

particularly useful for reducing travel and per diem costs since

the training is sent to the student or installation. Information

about these exportable courses is available from the district

Training Branch or the Huntsville Training Division. 
EP 420-1-1

31 Jan 92

9-13

(2) Time Requirement. Installations are encouraged to

participate in the Corps Annual Training Survey. This survey is

used to assess training requirements and allocate spaces in

PROSPECT courses. Installations wishing to participate should

contact the Huntsville Registrar as soon as possible. After the

survey is completed, installations may request "space available"

allocations throughout the year.

9-6. Information Management Services. Including automated data

processing and graphics services. 

a. Definition of Services. The Information Management

Office (IMO) supports the district Information Mission Area (IMA)

responsibilities. These encompasses automation (including office

automation), voice and data communications, visual information,

records management (including libraries), publications and

printing, and the supporting personnel, equipment, services and

facilities of these functions. The district IMO supports the

U.S. Army Information Systems Command (USAISC) mission by

performing assigned responsibilities and reporting IMA activities

as required through the HQUSACE Directorate of Information

Management (DIM). Figure 9-1 depicts the typical Information

Management Office organization.

c. How to Obtain These Services. Coordination with the

installation or MACOM Directorate of Information Management

(DOIM) must occur before requests for information management

support services are sent to a district Information Management

Office. The Installation Support coordinator will forward the

installations request to the Information Management Office, which

will actually accomplish or provide the support service. Use an

Installation Support Request Form, call or write to the district

Installation Support coordinator to initiate a request for

service. Installations should be prepared to supply the

following:

(1) An Installation Support Request Form, which gives a

narrative summary of work or services required. After the

support request is evaluated:

(2) Copies of installation records needed to provide the

service. 

(3) Applicable documents, correspondence, or regulations. 

(4) Document transmitting funds to the district office.

 

(5) Requirement Statement approval from installation

DOIM.

d. Typical Funding and Time to Accomplish the Service.

(1) Funding. Costs for services can vary significantly

based on the scope of services requested. A consultative visit

to the installation to discuss engineering automation

requirements can cost only several hundred dollars. An automated

system design can cost many thousands of dollars. 

 

(2) Time Requirement. Requirements for information

services must be identified to IMO or DOIM as early as possible. 

DA Pam 25-2 discusses the IMA Planning Process. Depending on the

program cost of the information system, there are different

organizational levels that a requirement will have to go through

for approval. This approval must be obtained prior to incurring

costs for the information system. If necessary, the district IMO

will visit the installation within several days from receipt of a

request. Provisions of more complex services, such as design of

automated services, can take many months. Planning is essential.

 e. Sharing Successes. Installations are encouraged to

share information about successful protypes in IMA technology

(e.g., GIS or CADD Master Planning) so that good ideas are

disseminated Corps-wide. This can be done through district IMO

channels.

CHAPTER 10

LOCAL USACE MAJOR SUBORDINATE COMMAND SUPPLEMENT

INTRODUCTION

Many USACE Major Subordinate Commands (MSC), also referred to as

division offices, take an aggressive role in monitoring the

Installation Support Program accomplished by districts within

their geographic area of responsibility. MSCs may already

possess their own "Installation Support Handbook" with

specialized procedures and capabilities applicable to their

mission. If this is the case, the MSC should insert a copy of

their handbook within this pamphlet prior to distributing it to

their district offices. As a minimum, or if an MSC does not

possess its own handbook, the MSC should insert a page explaining

their Installation Support policies and procedures, and giving a

"Point of Contact" list of key players responsible for their

Installation Support Program.

LOCAL USACE DISTRICT SUPPLEMENT

INTRODUCTION

Many USACE District offices take an aggressive role in the

Installation Support Program accomplished within their geographic

area of responsibility. Districts may already possess their own

"Installation Support Handbook" with specialized procedures and

capabilities applicable to their mission. If this is the case,

districts should insert a copy of their handbook within this

pamphlet prior to distributing it to the installations that they

support. As a minimum, or if a district does not possess its own

handbook, the district should insert a page explaining their

Installation Support policies and procedures, and giving a "Point

CHAPTER 12

INSTALLATION SUPPORT NEWSLETTER

INTRODUCTION

In late spring 1992, the HQUSACE Installation Support Branch, in

conjunction with the Planning Branch from the Engineering and

Housing Support Center, Facilities Management and Planning

Division, began publishing an Installation Support Newsletter.

The objectives of the newsletter are to keep individuals informed

about important issues and to share good (and maybe not-so-good)

news and ideas.

Initially a new edition will be published every other month. 

And, since everyone already has enough to read and keep them

busy, every attempt will be made to keep the newsletter brief, as

well as interesting and useful.

Since the newsletter will contain items applicable to, and which

may impact the Installation Support Program, this chapter has

been included in the handbook as a place to maintain and file

each edition of the newsletter.

Please call, fax or write to one of the following offices about

problems, ideas, concerns or successes - on all aspects of the

USACE Installation Support Program. Without input and feedback

from field elements, we are at a tremendous disadvantage in

coming up with newsy and valuable material.

PART II 

Terms 

NOTE: See Appendix C for definitions of major programs.

A-E/Construction Contractor Appraisal Support Systems

(ACASS/CCASS) - These companion systems exist throughout USACE

for the purpose of recording and transmitting appraisals made of

contractor performance. The objective of these systems is to

publicize the performance of contractors throughout the Corps,

thereby encouraging good contractor performance and providing the

means for avoiding contracts with nonresponsible contractors. 

While ACASS covers A-E contracts "Corps wide," the CCASS data

base covers the entire Defense Department.

Addition - A change to a real property facility that adds to its

overall external dimensions.

Allocation - An authorization issued by the Comptroller of the

military department for dollars and manpower spaces to specified

major headquarters or agencies to fund or man operations at

subordinate echelons by means of sub-allocations or allotments.

Alteration - A change to interior or exterior facility

arrangements to improve its current purpose. This includes

installed equipment made a part of the existing facility. 

Additions, expansions, and extensions are not alterations.

Appropriation - An authorization by an act of Congress to incur 

obligations for specified purposes and to make subsequent

payments therefore out of the treasury of the United States. 

Appropriations are classified as being annual, multi-year, or

continuing, depending on the period of time that is available for

obligation purposes.

Army Guidance - A standing document, revised biannually, issued

in four volumes and used in preparing the Army program. The Army

Guidance outlines parameters and concept for program and budget

development, identifies total Army goals, presents Chief of Staff

guidance, Army objectives, and priorities.

 

Army Housing Justification Process (AHJP) - This process replaces

the Navy Family Requirements Survey, drawing its required data

from the Segmented Housing Market Analysis and well as from the

records of the Army Housing Office. As the installation loads

collected information into HOMES data base, they will be

gathering and maintaining the data that is necessary to 

produce the AHJP reports.
EP 420-1-1

31 Jan 92

B-22

The AHJP also gives the decision maker accurate assessments of an

installation's requirements any day of the year with little

required lead time.

Army Long-Range Planning System (ALRPS) - This system establishes

a broad but consistent view or Army long-range goals to be used

by the mid- and near-range planners. It formulates staff long

range plans that describe how the Army is to be manned, equipped,

employed and supported in the 10 - 20 year future. 

Army Management Structure Codes (AMSCO) - Provides a single

uniform classification of non-tactical activities. It is used in

programming, budgeting, and accounting and for reporting cost,

performance and manpower data. The codes enable program and

appropriation directors to interrelate changes in Congressional

appropriations and to communicate them to the Staff and major

commands. Facilities engineering activities are accounted 

for by this means.

Army Mobilization and Operations Planning System (AMOPS) - A

system that provides specific responsibilities, instructions, and

guidance for mobilization and deployment. The Corps of Engineers

supplementation to this system is called the Corps of Engineers

Mobilization Operations Planning System (CEMOPS).

Army Stationing and Installations Plan (ASIP) - An official

document that provides the projected force structure for planning

and programming of real properties required to support personnel

and activities (Army and other services) scheduled to be located

at Army installations in the United States, Europe, Panama, Korea

and other locations in the Pacific during the periods of the Five

Year Defense Program (FYDP). The ASIP uses authorized projected

strength, except as otherwise noted. All base data is extracted

from the Force Development Management Information Systems

(FDMIS).

Authorization - The basic substantive legislation enacted by

Congress that sets up or continues the legal operation of a

Federal program or agency. Such legislation includes manpower

and is normally a prerequisite for subsequent appropriations, but

it does not usually provide budget authority.

Automated Review Management System (ARMS) - An automated system

being fielded throughout USACE during the early 1990's that will

record and track, and provide feedback to originators, on all

comments made during design and constructability reviews.
EP 420-1-1

31 Jan 92

B-23

Backlog of Maintenance and Repair (BMAR) and Deferred Maintenance

and Repair (DMAR) - These classifications represent work that was

required during a specific fiscal year, was programmed for

accomplishment, but could not be performed due to insufficient

resources. BMAR/DMAR is a recognized measurement of existing

deficiencies in real property facilities and is used to justify

RPMA and AFH maintenance and repair requirements.

Base Operations (BASOPS) - An aggregation of functional

activities for operating and maintaining installations and for

providing installation type support. This program is part of the

Operations and Maintenance Account of each service.

Basis of Issue Plan (BOIP) - This plan indicates the quantity of

new or modified equipment planned for each type of organization

and the related changes planned for personnel and supporting

equipment. 

Breakage - The total cost of designs or portions of designs,

studies or other design related activities, funded with planning

and design funds, started and canceled prior to completion for

whatever reason, including both in-house and contract work; and,

designs or portions of designs completed but not expected to be

advertised or awarded for construction, excluding work defined as

"lost design". This does not include work that is temporarily

shelved due to project deferral. Breakage occurs when a 

cancellation order is issued by the office which authorized the

design effort.

 

Budget Year - Precedes the program year in which funds are made

available for construction and follows the design year. The year

in which the Army defends the Military Construction Program

before OSD, OMB and the Congress, and the year final design is to

be substantially completed. In FY 90, the budget year is FY 91.

Capital Investment - The acquisition cost of Government property

less accumulated depreciation.

Change Orders (design) - Changes to the design of a project

initiated after the award of a design contract or start of

in-house design of the major project. They may result in cost

increase or decrease. Usually, the result of a change in project

scope, sizing, or criteria. A report of design change order

costs is included in the Supplemental Justification 

Data submitted to OSD as backup to the MCA Program.
EP 420-1-1

31 Jan 92

B-24

Command Operating Budget Estimate - Requirements formulated and

submitted by the Army commands to HQDA in mid-July of the budget

year. The input provides appropriation directors with details

essential in developing and evaluating their budget estimates. 

The submission also furnishes the commands the opportunity to

inform the Army Staff of any unforseen change in previously

projected program requirements for the upcoming fiscal year. The

information helps appropriation directors to construct 

apportionment requests forwarded to OSD-OMB before the 30

September OSD-budget submit.

Commercial Activities - Commercial and industrial facilities that

are Government-owned and Government-operated (GOGO), or

Government-owned and contractor-operated (GOCO) that provide a

product or service used primarily by the Government. Includes

laundries, central kitchens, central pastry kitchens, central

bakeries, meat cutting facilities serving more than one dining

facility, and manufacturing, maintenance and distribution

facilities. The "commercial activity facility" may be a 

single facility, or may be included in a group of facilities, or

it may be only a part of a facility that is not wholly devoted to

commercial type activities.

Computer-Aided Design and Drafting (CADD) System - These systems

accomplish drawing, mapping, charting, and illustration tasks

which have in the past been executed manually in a drafting room. 

HQUSACE has accomplished a Corps-wide procurement of CADD systems

including Integraph software, maintenance and training. The

Corps contract provides an option for DEH's to buy equipment off

the contract, provided that respective DEH's obtain local ADP

equipment acquisition approval from their local DOIMs and 

have sufficient funds to proceed.

Concept Project Design Control Data (CPD) - (Code 2, 35% design)

- Normally this is the second stage of the design directive. 

Occasionally this is the first design directive the design office

receives.

Conference Action - Functions of members of both the House of 

Representatives and the Senate in joint session, to reconcile

their differences so that a single bill can be recommended which

will gain the approval of both Houses of Congress.

Construction - The erection, installation, or assembly of a new

facility. The addition, expansion, extension, alteration,

conversion, or replacement of an existing facility. Installed

equipment made a part of the facility, related site preparation,

excavation, filling, landscaping, or other land improvements.
EP 420-1-1

31 Jan 92

B-25

Construction Activity - The activity, or agency, responsible for

contract award or execution of construction work by other means.

Construction Commanders - The officer commanding the organization

responsible for the design and construction of the facilities. 

Usually it is a USACE district or division commander.

Construction Project - A single undertaking to produce a complete

and usable facility and/or a complete and usable improvement to

an existing facility. A construction project includes all

construction work, land acquisition, supervision, inspection and

overhead costs, and procurement and/or installation of specific

types of build-in (installed) equipment necessary to make a

facility complete and usable.

Construction Requirements Review Committee (CRRC) - A HQDA

committee that supports the Appropriations Director of Military

Construction, National Guard construction and Army Reserve

construction by providing program analysis, helping program

analysis, helping to develop and defend Army construction budget

estimates, and developing Army-wide programs.

Continuing Resolution - Legislation enacted by Congress to

provide contingency budget authority for specific ongoing

activities when a regular appropriation for such activities has

not been enacted by the beginning of the fiscal year.

Conversion - A change to interior or exterior facility

arrangements so that the facility may be used for a new purpose. 

This includes installed equipment made a part of the existing

facility. Results in a change of facility category code.

Corporate Group - A three part decision making body with members

assigned one each from HQUSACE, the responsible MACOM, and the

cognizant USACE division. The group has, within specific limits,

the authority over all changes other than operability changes

that affect scope, cost, or schedules of projects.

Corps of Engineers Resource and Military Manpower Model System

(CERAMMS) - This system combines computer models, management

policy controls and DA resource constraints to forecast manpower

requirements, planning and design funding requirements, and

Design Agency - The organization designated with responsibility

for design of a MILCON project, usually a USACE district or MSC.

Design Directives - Design directives for MILCON projects are

issued by HQUSACE to its subordinate commands for the purpose of

carrying out various steps in the design of a project. The

directives are designated by code numbers, which are defined as

follows:

 a. Code 1. The project is authorized for A-E selection and

initiation of preliminary in-house design activities. The design

is authorized to be developed through the investigative phase,

with options to continue to 35% design (Concept Project Design)

and 100% design (Final Project Design). On receipt of a Code 1

directive and proper funding from HQUSACE, initiation of in-house

site investigation work is authorized including surveys,

subsurface (to include analysis of soil content for hazardous

contaminants) and utility investigations, and other work in the

special instructions of the Code 1 directive. If estimates show

that design costs will exceed current statutory limits for 10 USC

2807 requirements, A-E selection or procedures and in-house

design will be delayed until statutory requirements have been

met. Code 1 will be released only after a complete DD Form 1391

has been submitted to CE, and reviewed and released by the

Directorate of Military Programs. 

 b. Code 2. Concept Project Design (35%) is authorized. If

this is the first design authorization, activities prescribed

under Code 1 above, are required as part of Concept Design

process.

 c. Code 3. This code is not currently used.

 d. Code 4. The project design is delayed, pending a

supplemental design directive.

 e. Code 5. The project is deferred from the program. If

design has not been started, districts do not start any design. 

If project design has been started, design may proceed through

the current stage and be retained for future use. If Concept or

Final Design is being performed under an A-E contract, or by

in-house forces, it will be terminated or completed, whichever

will best serve the Government. Completed work will be retained

for future use.
EP 420-1-1

31 Jan 92

B-28

 f. Code 6. The project is authorized for Final Project

Design. If this is the first design authorization, then the

Concept Project design is required as part of the Final Project

Design process.

 g. Code 7. This code is not currently used.

 h. Code 8. The project is canceled. This code is issued

when the project is without support and is not expected to be

required in the future. The Contracting Officer is required to

terminate the design contract or complete it, whichever will best

serve the Government.

 i. Code 9. A construction contract has been authorized to

be awarded.

Design Personnel - People primarily engaged in design or the 

administration of design. All personnel whose salaries are paid

primarily from planning and design funds and those who are paid

from other sources, but who are primarily engaged in

design-associated work.

Design Workload - The number of design projects and the dollar

value of designs performed by an office. Design dollars are

spent on activities other than basic design work such as concept

and advance concept studies, development of or revisions of

manuals, specifications, criteria, standard designs and

definitive drawings, attendance at seminars and conferences, 

and office overhead.

Design Year (DY) - The year immediately preceding the budget year

and immediately after the guidance year. It is the year design

is started on a construction project.

Directed programs (fenced programs) - Programs that have been

ordered into a program by DA or higher authority. Money for

these programs is usually set aside in the program guidance for

use if valid projects can be identified and construction can be

awarded during the fiscal year that funds are available. 

Examples of directed programs are the Energy Conservation

Investment Program (ECIP) and the Army Pollution Abatement

Program (APAP).

Disposal - Any authorized method of permanently divesting the

Army of control and responsibility for real property or an

interest in real property.

sophisticated systems that use computer programs to monitor and

control energy use and equipment operation.

Engineer Basing Program - This uses the Real Property Planning

and Analysis System (RPLANS) to help planners at Army

installations, MACOMs and HQDA with stationing, planning,

programming and facilities utilization tasks. RPLANS provides

automated, consistent facilities allowance calculations, an

automated method for developing master planning TABs for 

installations, and a predictive model for estimating costs to

maintain and operate facilities in support of various missions.

Engineering During Construction (EDC) - Normally one-half of one

percent of the construction cost is included in the CWE for a

construction project and is set aside for engineering and design

(E&D) during construction. This service includes E&D to meet

changed conditions, user requests for contract modifications, or

changed criteria. Title II A-E services may be retained to

provide EDC. 

Environmental Baseline Study (EBS) or Preliminary Assessment

Screening (PAS) - An inventory and comprehensive evaluation of

existing environmental conditions of the real property which is

the subject of a real estate action. The Army requires the

preparation of an EBS/PAS for any type of real estate

transaction. The EBS/PAS becomes either a part of a Record of

Environmental Consideration (REC), an Environmental Assessment

(EA), or an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).

Evaluated Total Cost Method - Formerly called life cycle bidding,

requires that prospective contractors include time of

construction as part of their bid, thereby making every bidder

estimate the most economical and efficient construction period as

part of the competitive submittal. These durations are balanced

against the date when the user needs the facility, the costs of

Government supervision over the proposed duration, and

prospective overhead costs resulting from contract changes. 

Award is made to the bidder demonstrating the greatest economy

and efficiency to the Government; or, the "least evaluated total

cost".

enhancing rather than repairing a facility or system associated

with established facilities.

Incidental Improvement - Minor improvement made within the cost 

limitations of the Army Family Housing Operation and Maintenance

Program.

Incremental Construction - The construction of a project in

usable segments. For example, a project to completely upgrade

the paving of an airfield could be broken into increments such as

the runway itself, taxiway or parking apron. Each increment is

complete and usable in itself, but the total project is not

within the Corps of Engineers that assigns "cradle to grave"

responsibility for a design and construction project, or project

related action, to a single project manager.

Lost Design - Design work that must be discarded and redone prior

to award of a construction contract. This may occur because of

changes in the scope of a project, criteria revisions, weapons

systems requirements, or changes for any other reason that

invalidate complete parts of a design. "Lost design" is separate

from "breakage" unless the design of a project is terminated

before completion or the construction of the project is 

canceled. At that time, all costs including "lost design" are

accounted for under "breakage". Design changes that do not

result in increased design cost are not "lost design."

MACOM Five Year Program - A program that contains data from the

guidance year and four succeeding fiscal years, as submitted by

the major Army commanders and evaluated by HQDA. Included in the

MACOM FYP are those mobilization group I projects that are

funded, that is, programmed within the command's dollar guidance.

Maintenance - The work required to preserve and maintain a real

property facility in such a condition that it may be effectively

used for its designated functional purpose. Maintenance includes

is a collection of smaller projects.

Management Decision Package (MDEP) - A document prepared to

describe, and show the budgetary and manpower requirements of a

program, including incremental programs. A narrative describes

all or a definite portion of the program, and a resource display

McKinney Homeless Assistance Act and Executive Order (EO) 12682 -

Title V of the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act

requires the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to

screen federal buildings and real property described in surveys

as underutilized, unutilized, or not put to optimum use, and to

identify those facilities suitable for the homeless. Under EO

12682, DOD reports all unutilized, underutilized and excess

properties that could be effectively utilized or renovated to

serve as minimum security facilities for nonviolent prisoners,

drug treatment facilities for nonviolent drug abusers, and

facilities to assist the homeless. HUD makes the final

determination on reported properties for homeless purposes.

MILCON Line Item Review - A conference attended by

representatives of the Assistant Chief of Engineers, HQUSACE, the

alternative for the objective force, discusses the threat and

military strategy, and lays out what the Army wants to do in

support of the mission and how it will build the objective force.

Third Party Financing (TPF) - In times of limited resources, this

program offers an innovative approach toward providing the

government with required facilities and services. TPF means that

a party outside of the government may fund, construct, outlease,

operate, maintain and repair a facility, or provide a complete

construction can be awarded during the fiscal year that funds are

available. Examples of directed programs are ECIP and APAP.

Energy Conservation Investment Program (ECIP) - The ECIP is a

MILCON funded program for retrofitting existing Department of

Defense energy systems and buildings to make them more energy

efficient and provide substantial savings in operating costs. 

The ECIP will assist the Army in accomplishing the objectives of

the National Energy Conservation Policy Act and the Department of

Defense Energy plan.

Engineer Basing Program - This uses the Real Property Planning

and Analysis System (RPLANS) to help planners at Army

installations, MACOM's and HQDA with stationing, planning,

programming and facilities utilization tasks. RPLANS provides

automated, consistent facilities allowance calculations, an

automated method for developing master planning TABs for 

installations, and a predictive model for estimating costs to

maintain and operate facilities in support of various missions.

Fences - Funding levels established by the Office of the

Secretary of Defense and the secretariats of each service for

particular programs. Otherwise known as ceilings or floors, the

term refers to funding levels above or below which a program

manager may not obligate funds.

Future-Year Defense Plan (FYDP) - The FYDP provides a program

that is consistent with current plans, resources, and budget

objectives of the services. The FYDP is the basis for more

detailed program and budget guidance developed by the services,

that outlines the missions and levels of strength needed to meet

estimated enemy threats.

Fish and Wildlife Program - An Army program that sells hunting

and fishing permits to installation residents and to the public. 

This program allows for controlled population management,

enjoyment of hunting and fishing sports, while providing the Army

with modest funds to continue the fish and wildlife program. 

Future-Year Defense Program (FYDP) - The official OSD publication

that summarizes the approved plans and programs of DoD

components. The FYDP contains data from the budget year, and the

next four years' programs.

Floodplain Management Program - The objective of this program is

to support comprehensive flood plain management planning at all

appropriate governmental levels and, thereby, to encourage and

guide these groups toward prudent use of the nation's flood

plains. Executive Order 11988 requires each federal agency, and

its installations, to evaluate the effects of its actions, and to

avoid financing or issuing permits for construction in such flood

prone areas unless no practicable alternatives are available. 

Information provided through this program includes flood hazard

information as well as a full range of technical services and

planning guidance on techniques for reducing flood damage and

damage potential. Examples of services provided by USACE include

evaluation, floodway determination, and determination of 50-year,

100 year and standard project flood outlines for floodplain areas

in the United States. 

Forestry Program (P7) - The forestry program is primarily funded

with reimbursable funds realized from the sale of timber from

Army installations. This timber sale program assists trainers

who use the land by reducing timber stands for bivouac sites,

artillery positions, drop zones and maneuver areas. Contract

timber harvesting operations save dollars that would otherwise be

spent on government removal of timber.

Homeowners Assistance Program (HAP) - A special relief program

which provides financial assistance to those eligible military

and civilian employee homeowners, serving at or near a military

installation who suffer losses incident to the disposal of their

homes caused by a drop in real estate values when such military

installations are ordered closed or operations reduced.

Host Nation-Funded Construction Program - Any construction

program providing facilities in direct support of DOD personnel

or programs that is funded partially or totally by the host

nation in which DOD personnel are stationed.

Installation Restoration (IR) - The IR program is authorized by

the Defense Environmental Restoration Program and is consistent

with the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and

Liability Act (CERCLA), and the National Contingency Plan. It

identifies, evaluates and removes or cleans up past hazardous

waste sites. Certain actions identified by this program may be

eligible for funding by the Defense Environmental Restoration

Account (DERA), while others are not; DERA funds are normally

applied to those sites having the greatest actual or potential

threat to human health, welfare, or the environment. IR is not 

limited to active installations. Sites on any property for which

the Army is responsible under CERCLA are eligible, including

third-party sites that were used to support Army activities.

Integrated Training Area Management (ITAM) Program - An Army

program that integrates training requirements with

environmentally sound land management practices and rehabilitates

damaged training lands. It uses a Land Condition Trend Analysis

(LCTA) to match land/landscape support capabilities with current

and future training needs.

Joint Land Use Study (JLUS) Program - Urban sprawl near once

rural installation boundaries has increased community involvement

with on-installation training missions and activities. The

Office of Economic Adjustment (OEA) sponsors CLUP to promote

interaction between installations and adjacent communities to

implement compatible land use patterns near military boundaries. 

Federal cost-sharing is available to communities taking part in

this program.

Major Command Five Year Development Program - A program that

contains data from the guidance year and four succeeding fiscal

years, as submitted by the major Army commanders and evaluated at

Departmental level. Included in Army MACOM FYDP are those

mobilization construction projects that must be completed prior

to M-Day and are programmed within the MACOM's dollar guidance.

McKinney Homeless Assistance Act and Executive Order (EO) 12682 -

Title V of the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act

requires the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to

screen federal buildings and real property described in surveys

as underutilized, unutilized, or not put to optimum use, and to

identify those facilities suitable for the homeless. Under

Executive Order 12682 DOD reports all underutilized,

underutilized and excess properties that could be effectively

utilized or renovated to serve as minimum security facilities for

nonviolent prisoners, drug treatment facilities for nonviolent

drug abusers, and facilities to assist the homeless. HUD makes

the final determination on reported properties for homeless

purposes.

Medical Facilities Construction Program - The Defense Medical

Facilities Office (DMFO) is responsible for planning, development

and execution of this program. DMFO requires submission of five

years' worth of program documentation each fiscal year.

Military Construction Program (MILCON) - This term encompasses

the Congressionally authorized and appropriated programs that

provide the majority of facilities needed to meet mission

requirements for Army and Air Force installations and includes

family housing. 

Military Construction, Army Reserve Components - Programs for the

construction and rehabilitation of Reserve facilities exist in

all three services. They are generally managed by the Director

of Reserve Components, Department of Defense, with detailed

management delegated to Chiefs of Reserve components in each of

the services. The programs resemble MILCON for the active

components in terms of process, budgetary procedures and 

workflow.

Mobilization Construction Program - Land acquisition or

construction that is planned, programmed and executed in support

of mobilization contingency missions. In the Army programming

system, mobilization construction requirements are addressed in

terms of three categories: construction that must be occupied or

available by M-Day, construction that is completely designed and

ready to award at M-Day, and construction for which design will

not proceed until M-Day.

Operations and Maintenance Engineering Enhancement (OMEE)

Program- This is a USACE initiative that secures the services of

the construction contractor to perform maintenance on repairs for

a period of one year, or possibly more, after the completion of a

facility. The concept began field trial during FY 90.

Operation and Maintenance Funding, Army and Air Force - These

programs, which exist in the Army, Air Force, and their reserve

components, are primarily for the operation, preventative

maintenance and repair of facilities, utilities and other

improvements. Operations and maintenance funds are not

programmed by project or discrete activity, but by category 

of expenditure to which funds will be applied, e.g., repair, 

utilities, management, minor construction, and engineer support.

Operation and Maintenance, Army, Air Force Reserve - Operations

and maintenance funds for Reserve components facilities are used

for the same purposes as are those for active components, but are

subject to different funding limitations. These funds are

managed by the Director of Reserve Components, Department of

Defense, with detailed management delegated to the Chiefs of

Reserve components in each of the services.

Outgranting Program - The real estate program that includes the

granting of leases, easements, and licenses of Army-controlled

real property for private purposes, and permits for intra- and

inter-departmental purposes. 

Permitting Program - The Corps of Engineers has responsibility

for navigable waterways within the United States, and issues

permits for various types of access and use.

Power Reliability Enhancement Program (PREP) - The mission of

this program is to assure reliable, survivable utilities systems

support for critical command, control, communications and

intelligence (C3I) facilities.

Ranges, Army - Managed by the Department of the Army Ammunition,

Ranges and Training Activity (DAART), and Huntsville Division

USACE, for range standards and designs. This program was

initiated in the early 1980's when new weapons systems rapidly

overwhelmed range capability, and a new family of larger, more

sophisticated ranges was required.

Real Property Management System - The life cycle management

process whereby military real property requirements are planned,

programmed, acquired, operated, maintained and disposed of.
EP 420-1-1

Self-Compensating Project - A minor construction project that

results in savings in maintenance and operation costs in excess

of the project cost. The project must be over $300,000. The

savings must occur within 3 years of project completion.

Sell and Replace Program - Sale of DoD property is used to

generate construction funds to house activities relocated by the

disposal action.

Shared Energy Savings (SES) Program - A DOD program that

implements the provisions of Title VIII, Section 7201, Public Law

99-242 (42 U.S.C. 8287). An SES project is one where the

contractor provides the design, fabrication, construction,

financing, and operation and maintenance for energy saving

devices and systems to be used by the government. The contractor

receives a portion of the resulting energy cost savings and

maintenance cost avoidances in return for the work.

Superfund - An Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) program for

the cleanup of hazardous and toxic waste sites nationwide. The

Corps of Engineers is the execution agent for EPA in this

program.

Traffic Facilities Construction Program - Managed by the Military

Traffic Management Command (MTMC), this program includes any

traffic improvements programmed by installations for road or rail

access. The Defense Access Highway Improvement Program is also

monitored by MTMC.

Unspecified Minor Construction Program. ($300,000 to $1,500,000) 

Urgent minor construction guidance is issued annually, based on

funds availability in a single budget line item. Unlike the

MILCON and Family Housing programs, urgent minor construction

projects are not specifically identified in the FYDP budgets or

programs, but are submitted on an "as required" basis by each

service to be met with such funds as are available.

NOTE: Statutory approval levels for the most common major

programs are shown on the following figures. Figure D-1 depicts

APPENDIX E 

 FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT

GENERAL.

The financial planning and management of the armed services

begins with the Planning, Programming, Budgeting and Execution

System (PPBES) that was established by the Department of Defense

in the early 1960's. The objective of this system is to

articulate the strategy, size, structure and equip the military

force, set programming priorities, allocate resources and ensure

readiness of the total force.

PPBES is an evolutionary process rather than a static system. 

While a single PPBES cycle is theoretically divided into three

distinct phases for planning, programming and budgeting, the

reality of the process is far more complex. The length of a

single cycle is such that at least three separate cycles run

concurrently at all times.

Generally speaking, the operations planners of each service are

responsible for the planning phase and for providing resource

allocation priorities as guidance to program and appropriation

directors.

Programming is the responsibility of the program analysis and

review activity of each service. This activity provides the

interface between the military staff and the secretariat of the

each service.

Budgeting and manipulation of funds is the responsibility of the

comptroller of each of the services.

Various senior level committees within each of the services are

responsible for influencing and evaluating PPBES. These

committees determine how each service will configure forces,

resources and missions to meet Defense Guidance, and how

resources will be allocated and suballocated to achieve desired

configurations.

The Defense portion of the President's Budget is formulated by

the above process. Authorizations and appropriations by Congress

are based on review of the President's Budget, and upon many

detailed reviews preceding its actual formulation.
EP 420-1-1

31 Jan 92

E-2

Other funds in the services that are not appropriated by the

Congress are generated by the following sources: 

a. Surcharges made upon, and fees collected from, goods and

services purchased by service members and their families. 

b. Deduction of housing allowance funds from pay in

exchange for service-provided housing. 

c. Contributions. 

d. Dues paid for membership in various service clubs. 

e. Donations made to activities such as organizational

associations or museums. 

f. Reimbursements and penalty payments.

g. Foreign Military Sales.

 

Appropriated funding flows from the General Fund to the services. 

The services apportion these funds to their major commands and

functions based on earlier budgetary justification and planning. 

Certain of these funds are "fenced" by Congress and may be

applied only to certain programs. MILCON and associated Planning

and Design, represent "fenced" programs. Funds may not be spent

for other purposes. However, appropriations for many other

programs are more flexible, and may be moved by the services from

one sub-program to another based on mission exigencies and

changes in Defense posture.

Funding flow within the services is generally from higher

headquarters to lower, with specified amounts of discretionary

management authority delegated to each level. Some programs

retain a portion of the total amount at higher headquarters to

meet management expenses, fund special actions, meet unforeseen

requirements, or offer incentives to encourage funding from other

sources.

BASOPS AND REAL PROPERTY MAINTENANCE FUNDS.

The real property maintenance activities (RPMA) program is big

business, consuming approximately 51 percent of an average

installation's base operations (BASOPS) budget. In the Army,

worldwide RPMA involves the maintenance of over 1 billion square

feet of building space and acreage equivalent to that of the

combined areas of Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. 
EP 420-1-1

31 Jan 92

E-3

RPMA funding accounts include categories for operation of

utilities, maintenance and repair of real property, minor

construction, and engineering support. The engineering support

category accounts for the majority of funds sent by installations

to Corps of Engineers districts for various services.

Most of the dollars to finance these functions come from the

operations and maintenance (O&M) appropriations of each service. 

In addition to these direct dollars, reimbursable funds are

earned by providing RPMA services to certain customers, the

largest of which is the family housing appropriation. 

Measurements used to manage the RPMA account include the Annual

Recurring Requirements (ARR) which is the annual amount of money

needed to sustain and preserve real property to adequately

support assigned missions. Another measurement is the Backlog of

Maintenance and Repair (BMAR) that records the amount of

maintenance and repair work remaining at the end of the fiscal

year. Deferred maintenance and repair is a similar measure

applied to family housing facilities. 

DEH / BCE FUNDING RELATIONSHIPS.

DEH/BCE and USACE funding for other-than-MILCON support is

handled in two general ways. The most common method is for the

supported installation to send Operations and Maintenance dollars

to USACE divisions or districts for specific services. Documents

used to transmit funds from installations to USACE subordinate

commands are called Intra-Army Orders (IAO) for reimbursable

services, and are processed through comptroller, or resource

management channels. This method depends upon programming and 

budgetary planning by the supported installation and its major

command. Although Operations and Maintenance funds are

"earmarked" specifically for various programs at Departmental

Headquarters, amounts may be transferred between programs to meet

other expenses at the installation. Therefore, the DEH/BCE must

play actively in the installation budget process to ensure

retention of facilities engineering funds, including those used

to purchase USACE support. 

A second, more limited, method is HQUSACE-managed and distributed

operations and maintenance funds "earmarked" for specific

programs. Documents transmitting these funds from HQUSACE to

divisions and districts are called Funding Authorization

Documents (FADS). Services provided by to installations are

totally or partially nonreimbursable when this method is used.
EP 420-1-1

31 Jan 92

E-4

The installation support program at operating subordinate

commands receives a modest amount of nonreimbursable funding to

initiate projects and provide immediate response to requests for

support. Real estate business operations, master planning,

mobilization master planning and installation support books for

Army installations are other programs that are partially, or

totally, funded by nonreimbursable means. It is essential that

division and district engineers inform supported installations of

these funds, and encourage DEH/BCE participation in the budget

formulation process.

U.S. AIR FORCE PROJECT MANAGERS GUIDELINES

The following list of project management guidelines was extracted

from the U.S. Air Force Project Manager's Guide for Design and

Construction, (USAF/LEE, June 1989). It depicts guidance that

Headquarters, Air Staff provides to their "young, lessexperienced" design and construction managers in their field

offices. It is important that district project managers review

these guidelines to develop an understanding of the Air Force

manager's perspective and priorities.

1. Scope is the Major Command's responsibility. Bring

conflicts to the Major Command's attention.

2. A field design instruction to the Design Agent authorizing

them to proceed with design. Nothing happens without it!

3. Review the 2807 PDC screens and follow up at the end of this

period if a revised Air Force Design Instruction has not been

issued.

4. Furnish the Design Agent with a good project description,

critical need dates, and any special expertise required.

5. Design excellence is a prime goal for all Air Force

projects.

6. The project manager chairs the pre-design conference.

7. The Air Force considers the functional and visual aspects of

design as essential as the electrical, mechanical and structural

systems in terms of a total integrated facility design.

8. Ensure Comprehensive Interior and Structural Interior Design

requirements are included in the Requirements and Management Plan

(RAMP) and communicate exceptional requirements to the Design

Agent.

9. Ensure the A-E understands the Base Architectural

Compatibility Guidelines are part of the design criteria.

10. Encourage the designer and user to ask questions at the predesign conference.
EP 420-1-1

31 Jan 92

G-2

11. Check with the appropriate security personnel for types of

systems available, and their uses.

12. Review the RAMP page by page, paragraph by paragraph.

13. Track design progress closely and obtain justification for

any slippage.

14. A good comment is a good comment, no matter who makes it!

15. The importance of conscientious early review cannot be

overemphasized.

16. Comparison of the cost estimate with the cost plan and the

Air Force Automated Pricing Guide is key to future design

development or changing the budget.

17. Success as project manager during design hinges on the

ability to get the appropriate decision power applied early to

correct deviations from the cost plan.

18. Conservative estimating and excessive contingencies are

often reasons for high cost estimates.

19. Challenge the Design Agents to set demanding performance

periods.

20. The bid documents must establish the order of acceptance of

alternative bid items. This avoids any perception of juggling

alternative bid items to favor a particular contractor.

21. The pre-construction conference is not the time to discuss

potential change requests.

22. If you have a problem and do not get a quick resolution,

elevate the concern and ask for help.

23. It is imperative that data in the Project Design and

Construction (PDC) System be correct and current.

24. Extended overhead can add considerable cost to a project

when construction completion is delayed through no fault to the

contractor.

25. Manage changes to prevent building fifty year mistakes.
EP 420-1-1

31 Jan 92

G-3

26. What is hard, and therefore where you need to focus your

attention with the Construction Agent, is to put a price tag on

pending and potential changes and claims without final decisions

by the contracting officer.

27. When responsibility is not quickly determined, have the

Construction Agent unilaterally direct the contractor and/or

designer to correct the deficiency and establish responsibility

and payment later.

28. Joint Occupancy (contractor and user) can be a useful tool,

but use it judiciously.

29. The Resident Construction Manager (Resident Engineer) is

most able to facilitate bringing together the right people, at

the right time, to address the right issues.

30. The target closeout period is four months after physical

completion of the line item. Although the Air Force goal is to

reduce the closeout time, you should not financially close a

project with outstanding construction and design deficiencies.

31. Don't leave the facility user stranded.

32. While estimates are essential information for predicting and

tracking costs, your management is what controls costs and brings

a project in on budget.

Headquarters, Air Staff provides to their "young, lessexperienced" design and construction managers in their field

offices. It is important that district project managers review

these guidelines to develop an understanding of the Air Force

manager's perspective and priorities.

1. Scope is the Major Command's responsibility. Bring

conflicts to the Major Command's attention.

2. A field design instruction to the Design Agent authorizing

them to proceed with design. Nothing happens without it!

3. Review the 2807 PDC screens and follow up at the end of this

period if a revised Air Force Design Instruction has not been

issued.

4. Furnish the Design Agent with a good project description,

critical need dates, and any special expertise required.

5. Design excellence is a prime goal for all Air Force

projects.

6. The project manager chairs the pre-design conference.

7. The Air Force considers the functional and visual aspects of

design as essential as the electrical, mechanical and structural

systems in terms of a total integrated facility design.

8. Ensure Comprehensive Interior and Structural Interior Design

requirements are included in the Requirements and Management Plan

(RAMP) and communicate exceptional requirements to the Design

Agent.

9. Ensure the A-E understands the Base Architectural

Compatibility Guidelines are part of the design criteria.

10. Encourage the designer and user to ask questions at the predesign conference.
EP 420-1-1

31 Jan 92

G-2

11. Check with the appropriate security personnel for types of

systems available, and their uses.

12. Review the RAMP page by page, paragraph by paragraph.

13. Track design progress closely and obtain justification for

any slippage.

14. A good comment is a good comment, no matter who makes it!

15. The importance of conscientious early review cannot be

overemphasized.

16. Comparison of the cost estimate with the cost plan and the

Air Force Automated Pricing Guide is key to future design

development or changing the budget.

17. Success as project manager during design hinges on the

ability to get the appropriate decision power applied early to

correct deviations from the cost plan.

18. Conservative estimating and excessive contingencies are

often reasons for high cost estimates.

19. Challenge the Design Agents to set demanding performance

periods.

20. The bid documents must establish the order of acceptance of

alternative bid items. This avoids any perception of juggling

alternative bid items to favor a particular contractor.

21. The pre-construction conference is not the time to discuss

potential change requests.

22. If you have a problem and do not get a quick resolution,

elevate the concern and ask for help.

23. It is imperative that data in the Project Design and

Construction (PDC) System be correct and current.

24. Extended overhead can add considerable cost to a project

when construction completion is delayed through no fault to the

contractor.

25. Manage changes to prevent building fifty year mistakes.
EP 420-1-1

31 Jan 92

G-3

26. What is hard, and therefore where you need to focus your

attention with the Construction Agent, is to put a price tag on

pending and potential changes and claims without final decisions

by the contracting officer.

27. When responsibility is not quickly determined, have the

Construction Agent unilaterally direct the contractor and/or

designer to correct the deficiency and establish responsibility

and payment later.

28. Joint Occupancy (contractor and user) can be a useful tool,

but use it judiciously.

29. The Resident Construction Manager (Resident Engineer) is

most able to facilitate bringing together the right people, at

the right time, to address the right issues.

30. The target closeout period is four months after physical

completion of the line item. Although the Air Force goal is to

reduce the closeout time, you should not financially close a

project with outstanding construction and design deficiencies.

31. Don't leave the facility user stranded.

32. While estimates are essential information for predicting and

tracking costs, your management is what controls costs and brings

a project in on budget.

APPENDIX H

FORMS FOR INSTALLATION SUPPORT MANAGEMENT

Evaluation and Feedback Process. USACE policy regarding

evaluation and feedback for Installation Support is summarized as

follows:

a. USACE subordinate commands will annually ask

installation engineers at each supported Army and Air Force

installation to evaluate the quality, cost-effectiveness and

timeliness of Installation Support services. A simple evaluation

form, such as the sample included in this appendix (Figure H-1),

will be used for this evaluation. The evaluation forms should be

distributed to all supported installations simultaneously. The

evaluation process should be accomplished during the first or

second quarter of each fiscal year. 

b. After the installation has completed the evaluation form and

returned it to the district a detailed review of the responses

will be conducted. This review will be conducted by supervisory

personnel one organizational level above the Installation Support

Coordinator and should consist of the following:

(1) Evaluate submitted/completed forms for substance.

(2) Contact installation engineers to acknowledge receipt

of completed evaluation.

(3) Identify any high or low ratings, or exceptionally

positive or negative remarks.

(4) Evaluate other routine comments.

(5) Extract data to generate trends related to Installation

Support service.

(6) Evaluate trends to identify organizational strengths

and weaknesses.

c. The analysis, along with completed evaluation forms, should

be personally reviewed by the district commander and other

appropriate management staff within the district. After this

review, the following actions should occur:

(1) Discuss comments with district project managers,

construction managers, field offices, and other district

personnel as appropriate.
EP 420-1-1

31 Jan 92

H-2

(2) Contact or visit the installation engineer to confirm

any exceptionally positive or negative comments.

(3) Take appropriate management action in the district to

improve Installation Support services, and inform installation

engineers of actions that will be taken.

d. The result of this survey will be forwarded by districts to

their MSC for evaluation of general trends and satisfaction

levels regarding Installation Support services being provided. 

The MSC-level analysis will be forwarded annually, as an

executive summary to the district analysis, to HQUSACE, CEMP-CI,

Washington D.C. 20314-1000 with a courtesy copy to CEHSC, 

CEHSC-FM, Fort Belvoir, VA 22060-5516. 

e. The results of the annual evaluation will also serve as a

basis for conferences or visits with key management personnel

from the supported installation.

f. USACE subordinate commands may also develop a customer

satisfaction survey form for individual projects or support

actions. These forms should be used with discrimination, or as a

random sample, since completing one for every project or action

may create a burden on the installation engineer staff. A sample

format for evaluation of individual projects/support actions

(Figure H-2), and a sample format for "quick feedback" (Figure H3) for more streamlined customer evaluations, are also included

in this appendix.

Project Status Reporting. USACE subordinate commands should

provide project status information to supported installations at

least quarterly. For reimbursable funded projects, monthly

status reporting may be more appropriate. Project status reports

can be furnished to the installation through a variety of

methods. Using Automated Management Progress Reporting System

(AMPRS) or Project Management Information System (PROMIS) printouts are methods which take advantage of an existing data base. 

Some districts use reports generated with a personal computer, or

an information paper/fact sheet format, tailored to the

installations needs. Regardless of which format is used, the

district must coordinate with the installation to determine what

data they deem important for reporting purposes. Sample status

reporting formats are depicted at Figure H-4 through Figure H-6. 

These samples are simply guides, depicting typical items of

interest to the installation.

Installation Support Request Form. A sample (blank) Installation

Support Request format is at Figure H-7 of this appendix.

APPLICABILITY

The provisions of this Directive apply to the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Military

Departments, the Organization of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Defense Agencies (hereafter referred to as “DoD Components”).

POLICY

The Commanding Officer of an installation is responsible for accomplishing the mission assigned to the installation, and should be delegated broad authority to decide how best to

accomplish the mission, and is accountable for all resources applied to the mission.

Headquarters staff activities shall be directed toward facilitating any installation commander’s

ability to accomplish the mission. Regulations that limit installation commanders’ freedom

to do their jobs are contrary to the basic DoD installation management policy, and shall be

cancel led or revised. Exceptions should be rare.

Except where required to preserve essential wartime support capability, or constrained by

law or federal regulation, installation commanders shall be free to purchase goods and services wherever they can get the combination of quality, responsiveness, and cost that best

satisfies their requirements.

Unless prohibited by law, a share of any resources saved or earned at an installation should

be made available to the installation commander to improve the operations and working and

living conditions at the installation.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Heads of DoD components shall ensure that all regulations for which they are responsible

comply with the policies contained in this Directive. The DoD Inspector General shall review

and report compliance with these policies.

EFFECTIVE DATE AND IMPLEMENTATION

This Directive is effective immediately. Forward one copy of implementing documents to the

Assistant Secretary of Defense (Acquisition and Logistics) within 120 days.

AR 420-10, Facilities Engineering, Management of

Installation Directorates of Engineering and Housing

The latest version of AR 420-10, dated 2 July 1987, was

undergoing a major update/revision when this pamphlet was

the revised version of AR 420-10, when it is published.

AR 420-10 is significant in that it contains the basic Department

of Army guidance governing the USACE Installation Support

Program. Therefore, it should be filed within this pamphlet

binder as a primary reference document.
