Mission : Reduce Army’s inventory of excess facilities. Objectives : Execute effectively

1. Mission: Reduce Army’s inventory of excess facilities. • Objectives: • Execute effectively • Demonstrate cost effectiveness • Promote sustainable demolition • Minimize labor demands upon installation personnel • IMA Proponent (John Peasley, 703-602-4488) • Huntsville Ctr (HNC) PM: Harold Merschman, 256-895-1369

2. Approach • Execute effectively. • Centralized support by HNC for determining requirements, project priority and funding, tracking and reporting. • Decentralized acquisition and execution management • Demonstrate cost effectiveness. • Show cost savings achieved though HNC programmatic oversight and technical assistance to DPW / U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Districts responsible for project execution. • Early intervention in projects having estimated cost that appear excessive

3. Mission Approach (cont.) • Promote sustainable demolition. • Identify and advocate best practices that minimize landfill consumption, consistent with practical, reasonably priced means and methods. • Give priority of funding to projects using best practices • Early intervention in projects that do not appear to be using best practices • Minimize labor demand upon DPW. • Make facility reduction more convenient. • Provide tools, best practice information and leverage existing data bases and reporting mechanisms vice creating new ones. • Perform facility assessments; • Prepare DD 337s including SHPO and McKinney Act coordination if requested. • Collect needed info without formal data calls.

4. Mission Approach (cont.) • Consolidated Reporting • ACSIM / IMA require consolidated reports of all facility reduction efforts including OMA, AFH and MCA • HNC manages information (not funding) related to MCA 1:1 planning and execution • Consolidated Funds Management • HNC manages distribution of OMA and AFH demolition project funds • Virtual Situational Awareness • Monthly status reports prepared by HNC are furnished to ACSIM, IMA HQ/Regions, USACE MSCs and are available on EKO to individuals with AKO access

6. Procedures for OMA-funded project approval / funding • DPW actions: • Identify facility in IFS as being planned for execution in the current FY • Verify DD 337, Record of Environmental Consideration (REC) and McKinney Act compliance are complete • Request funding and confirm availability of contract for award / execution in current FY • HNC actions: • Search IFS to find facilities planned for demolition and confirm each facility being requested for demolition funding is recorded in IFS as being planned for demolition

7. Procedures (cont.) • HNC actions (cont.): • Scrub with PAX DD1391 Processor to ensure that the same facility is not programmed for demolition using MCA funds (double dipping). • Review the requested demolition funding amount for cost reasonableness • Work with the installations to complete DD337 and supporting documentation if incomplete. • Collect other information as needed from DPW and IMA Region to help prioritize project. • Prepare proposed project funding list (semi-annual) for HQ IMA approval • If approved, issue funding to DPW or to USACE District for execution.

8. FRP Best Practices Toolbox • Web-based Toolbox to be hosted on EKO • Provides single-source comprehensive knowledge base available to the entire DPW community • Includes simple yet accurate budget estimating tools that require minimal data input • Provides guidance for HAZMAT remediation best practices & lessons learned • Contains comprehensive FRP information library • Provides optimized waste diversion (reuse/recycle) practices • Real time user feedback mechanism

9. FRP Toolbox Performance Requirements • Toolbox budgetary estimates based on historical Army and commercial industry project cost information • Toolbox “Quick Estimate” designed for rapid answers and to minimize work for DPW staff • Toolbox generates estimates and provides information that is geographically tailored • Toolbox includes access to FRP technical experts

10. Tool Box Implementation • Web Access • Launch on EKO Web Site: 15 May 05 • Web Site Maintenance by CERL • Anticipated events: • Future OACSIM policy letter, subject: Construction and Demolition Waste Management, will include the tool box web site link for determining attainable, project specific recycling / waste stream diversion quantities • Future FRP project prioritization system to include reference to tool box “should cost” standards • HNC will track and report how well Army is performing with respect to the new FRP standards.

11. NERO Regional Demolition Contract Acquisition • Background. • HQ IMA interested in the efficacy of regional contracting for demolition services as compared to locally procured contracts. NERO region selected for the first contract. • Description. • Cost & Type: Minimum of two $15M, 5-year, IDIQ Task Order contracts to provide full service (hazmat abatement, demolition / de-construction, and site restoration). • Geographical coverage: Northeast IMA Region: Virginia up to Maine (east of Ohio). • Status: Proposals received. Award planned by end of April 05

12. Future Trends • More emphasis on waste stream reduction / land fill diversion in contractor selection and performance specifications. • Concrete grinding for aggregate re-use or sale will become the norm. • Maximum “should cost” and minimum recycling standards will be enforced for all Army demolition projects. • Project prioritization system will be established for both funding of demolition and for identifying candidate facilities for future demolition.
