Drivers for Forging Partnerships First vestiges of innovation in partnerships began with an urgent need for family quarters at Presidio of Monterey that drove special legislation in FY95 NDAA for that site Innovative partnerships developed outside Monterey, too Success at Monterey spurred FY05 NDAA & FY08 legislation, which slightly expanded sites eligible for limited public-public partnerships Changing global missions, national security concerns and ongoing budget challenges, including sequestration, require innovative ideas and a new way of doing business across all defense installations (FY13 NDAA Section 331 recognized this) Benefits from partnerships include cost savings; cost avoidance; efficiencies via economies of scale & otherwise; relationship building

Authorities for Forging Partnerships Wide range of potential projects/proposals Identify installation and community needs/requirements first No pre-set limits on subject matter To be successful, proposals must meet needs of both installation and the other partner (local government or private entity) A toolbox of existing authorities can be used to help define the way forward for a potential partnership

FY13 National Defense Authorization Act – Section 331 Intergovernmental Support Agreements (IGSAs) with state and local governments currently codified at 10 USC 2336 Congressional report and proposed clarifications “The Secretary concerned may enter into an [IGSA] with a State or local government to provide, receive, or share installation-support services if the Secretary determines that the agreement will serve the best interests of the department by enhancing mission effectiveness or creating efficiencies or economies of scale, including by reducing costs.” [2336(a)(1)] May be entered into on a sole-source basis May be for a term not to exceed five years Use local wages (rather than Davis-Bacon levels) One of the partners must provide such services for its own use A-76 requirements related to competition, outsourcing, etc. still apply

Partnership Types and Mechanisms Types of partnerships could involve almost any combination of entities in addition to a military component: state or local government, nonprofit, private for-profit entities, the financial community, etc. A variety of authorities, tools and mechanisms may be appropriate depending on the proposal, e.g. IGSA Acquisition agreement (under the FAR) Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) Real property actions (e.g., leases) Others?

Partnership Types and Mechanisms (cont)

Partnership Opportunities and Leveraging Capacity Cooperative police/fire training/support Certifications; 911; dispatch; communications; GIS Cooperative medical training and initiatives Motorcycle safety training and certification Mitigating congestion and pollution on the roads University training of critical-need interns Military member and family support programs Youth programs/libraries Shared golf course/athletic field operations Shared use firing/archery ranges Facilities and engineering support

Flagship Initiativesand Ongoing Challenges Flagship Initiatives – “Tip of the iceberg” Using processes to identify requirements and get to “YES” Opportunities Creating value and competition Measuring value and benefits Evaluating opportunities with significant potential returns Creating a front door, particularly for the private sector (leveraging private financing) Showing what communities can become Incentivizing/awards Challenges Clarifying Section 331 (IGSAs) Identifying appropriate authorities and mechanisms Administrative costs of proposals/projects Ensuring sufficient legal, fiscal and contracting support capabilities
