area; not much change– Conduct cleanup to sustain the Army mission
• Targets for FY2008 and FY2009– Identify specific actions with a time frame– Some common to all programs– Most are program specific
• Success Indicators– How you know if you got there
1130(R)20June077 of 40
Army Cleanup Army Cleanup PhilosophyPhilosophy
• Centrally managed cleanup program• Standardization across programs• Completion of sites and installations• Results oriented• Performance driven management• Recognize and reward achievements
1130(R)20June078 of 40
Army Direction for Army Direction for CleanupCleanup
• Identify requirements– Maintain supporting documentation
• Conduct semiannual management reviews• Report financial liabilities
– Single database of record for each program area
• Use innovative technology and periodic reviews to safely and effectively accelerate site closeout
1130(R)20June079 of 40
Requirements Requirements IdentificationIdentification
• Applies to all cleanup– Defense Environmental Restoration Program– Compliance-related Cleanup
• Link environmental liability with real property records– Involve stakeholders early, agree on exit strategy
• Maintain administrative record– Information repository too
• Maintain permanent document repository– Protect future Army interests, especially for emerging
contaminants and changing cleanup goals
1130(R)20June0710 of 40
Management ReviewsManagement Reviews
• Semi-annual with each program manger• Actual versus planned results as forecast in
annual program management plan– IRP RIP/RC– MMRP SIs– CC SIs
• Instill pride of ownership, finish cleanup, and recognize results
1130(R)20June0711 of 40
Financial Liability Financial Liability ReportingReporting
• Qualified audit opinion in FY2010• Unqualified audit when Army’s revised financial
system is in place• Three databases of record
– AEDB-R– AEDB-CC– FUDSMIS
• Standardized cost estimates– RACER or engineering estimate from Feasibility Study
• Supervisory review• Quality Control / Quality Assurance

Interim RemedialActions (IRAs) orRemoval Actionsmay occur at anytime during the
cleanup process
If the investigation process reveals that cleanup is notrequired or when cleanup work is complete, a site movesinto the Response Complete (RC) category, i.e. site does
not have to go through every phase to achieve RC

• Strategy includes vision and objectives• Strategic Plan is ACSIM’s direction to
program managers• Program Management Plan
– The PM’s plan to tell leadership how they are managing their program
• Installation Action Plan (Management Action Plan)– Presents a plan based on available funding
1130(R)20June0715 of 40
Performance-Based Performance-Based Acquisition (PBA)Acquisition (PBA)
• Another tool for accelerating cleanup and achieving site closeout
• Achieved 56% of ER,A $$ on PBA in FY06• Expecting ~50% of ER,A $$ in FY07, FY08• PBA Applies to BRAC and FUDS too• Army Contracting Agency and USACE contracts
available– FFP, FP or Cost-plus w/incentives and/or insurance
• Through FY06, $290M in cost avoidance applied to additional cleanup projects
1130(R)20June0716 of 40
ConclusionConclusion
• Bottom line– Close sites, finish cleanup at installations & for the
Army
• Management Philosophy– Centrally managed cleanup program– Completion of sites and installations– Performance driven management
• Use Environmental Management System [“plan – do – check – act”] to gain continual improvement

OVERVIEWOVERVIEW
1130(R)20June0718 of 40
Purpose
• Outline Performance-Based Acquisition Initiative for Army’s Installation Restoration Program (IRP)
• Discuss why Army is proceeding with PBA
• Discuss roles and responsibilities in PBA implementation
1130(R)20June0719 of 40
Background
• Performance-Based Acquisition (PBA) is a federal government-wide initiative
• Army began using PBA for environmental cleanup projects in 1999 Use of Guaranteed Fixed Price Remediation
(GFPR) contracts Pilots at both BRAC and active installations
• PBA is an initiative of both DoD and ArmyBusiness Initiative Councils (BICs)
• US Army Environmental Command is implementingthe Army’s PBA initiative through use of performance-based contracts (PBCs)
1130(R)20June0720 of 40
What is PBA?• Performance-Based Acquisition (PBA) is a mechanism
that solicits bids on the basis of what RESULTS you want achieved rather than what ACTIVITIES you want conducted
• General characteristics of Performance-Based Acquisition Contract for “What,” not “How” Clearly define objectives, milestones, and standards Use incentives or environmental insurance to enhance
performance Incentives are inherent in PBAs
Promote flexibility in exchange for accountability Generally, use fixed price contracts
PBCs are monitored to ensure performance is being achieved
1130(R)20June0721 of 40
PBA Contract Types
Acquisition “Tool Box” for Performance-Based Acquisitions includes: Fixed Price Remediation with Performance Work Statement (PWS)
or Statement of Objectives (SOO)
Fixed Price Remediation with or without Incentives
Guaranteed Fixed Price Remediation (GFPR)
With Cleanup Cost Cap Insurance, with or without Pollution Legal Liability Insurance
Large and small business awards
KEY - Be less prescriptive and contract for objectives and results
1130(R)20June0722 of 40

PBA for Environmental Cleanup
• Goal is for Contractor is to achieve one or more of the following performance objectives for each site identified in the Performance Work Statement: Response Complete
Remedy in Place
Remedial Action (Operations)/Long-Term Management
Successful 5-year Review (or equivalent)
• Environmental Insurance MAY BE used to protect against cost overruns above the estimated remediation cost
1130(R)20June0728 of 40
Why Use PBA?
Performance-Based Acquisition is intended to improve cost and schedule performance without compromising cleanups that are protective of human health and the environment Lower risk of cost growth Accelerates cleanup / property transfer Reduces contract reporting and oversight Can be aligned to exit strategies or used to optimize systems Cost effective / lower remediation costs
1130(R)20June0729 of 40
IRP History
• Significant variation in program performance Cost and schedule baselines not uniform Progress toward completion lacking
Cost-to-Complete increasing or unstableSchedules slipping
• Completing only 60-70% of planned versus actual milestones
Program not incentivized for completion
CHANGE NEEDED TO GET DONE
1130(R)20June0730 of 40
Safety vs. Speed?
• PBA does not trade safety for speed
• Safety and quality can be incentivized
• Innovation can be incentivized Perception is that private cleanup goes faster Learn and apply the proven private sector practices
1130(R)20June0731 of 40
Strategy to “Get it Done”
• Increase use of PBA Use incentives for innovation and reaching program
completion
• Streamline Army Cleanup infrastructure Get more dollars to the ground doing actual cleanup
• Decrease the number of contract overruns & change orders
• Reduce variability in program performance and optimize project baselines
1130(R)20June0732 of 40
• Develop corporate acquisition tools (“Toolbox”) to accelerate cleanup/closure
• Increase competition
• Maintain contracting flexibility to improve cost effectiveness One size does not fit all circumstances
• Contractors must be accountable for their performance
Approach
1130(R)20June0733 of 40
The PBA Process
Initial Planning / On-Site Evaluation
Conduct additional activities to prepare
for PBA in future
Draft and/or refine PWS/RFQ and IGE
Seek input on PWS/RFQ and IGE
Release RFQ
Conduct technical evaluation
Proceed with current path forward
Is installation
viable PBA
candidate?
Can additional activities
help candidacy
?
Is there agreement
on the PWS/RFQ and IGE?
Is there a technically acceptable
low-cost proposal?

Collaboration
• The Army will continue to work with Regulators and Communities when considering options for Performance-Based Acquisition
• The Army, as the federal lead agency, still remains responsible for the cleanup with the same level of coordination with EPA and state regulators
1130(R)20June0735 of 40
Little change! Installation RPM still…• Oversees contract • Interfaces with Regulators, along with Contractor• Interfaces with Public• Manages and monitors long-term operations• Manages contract cost, schedule, and reporting
Army centrally manages installation restoration program and database at the US Army Environmental Command for improved data quality and ease of reporting/response to out of cycle data calls
Role of the Installation Restoration Program Manager
1130(R)20June0736 of 40
Role of the Regulator
• Beginning with initial scoping meetings, may attend information sessions with installation personnel and contract team
• Participate in development of performance measures for the contract, and may comment on the Performance Work Statement
• Participate in Bidders’ conferences to present regulatory views to prospective contractors
• After project begins, continue to maintain active role by reviewing remedial activities before implementation Provides comments on site documents
GOAL - Concurrence with remedy completion
1130(R)20June0737 of 40
Role of the Restoration Advisory Board (RAB)
• Provides advice on environmental restoration issues • Conducts regular meetings open to the Public • Keeps meeting minutes that are available to the Public • Reviews, advises, and comments on environmental restoration
documents • Recommends project requirements • Recommends site cleanup priorities• Provides advice and comments on restoration issues• Represents and communicates Community interests and concerns
No change! Public retains stakeholder involvement in decision-making process and still…
1130(R)20June0738 of 40
Army’s Responsibilities
• Army fulfills its program responsibilities by: Approving all performance / remedial action objectives Maintaining the Administrative Record Reviewing & signing agreements / Decision Documents Maintaining primary interface with Regulators & Public Certifying all deliverables / milestones
• Army is the final decision authority for award, oversight, and payment
ARMY RETAINS ULTIMATE ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITY
1130(R)20June0739 of 40
Summary
• Performance-Based Contracts Responsibilities: Army remains responsible for cleanup Contractor is accountable to the Army for their performance
• Seeking EPA/State input on contract performance measures (objectives and standards)
• Army/EPA/State need to continue to partner to ensure performance measures are met – ensures satisfactory project completion and closeout
• Army will continue with success achieved in Fiscal Years 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007.
