2. 2 Here is the way ahead in the implementation of MT that we have previously shared w/you and received your approval to move out with this plan of attack As you can see in FY06-07 we are pilot testing the strategy thru the use of our Model D-B RFP while at the same time we�re reorganized the Centers of Standardization to meet the mission at hand Through the designs developed during the pilot testing in FY06-07, the COS will be developing AB models. We expect these models to be concentrated in the area of the BCT mission facilities (Tier 1) and possibly QOL facilities such as CDC chapels and physical fitness facilities.Here is the way ahead in the implementation of MT that we have previously shared w/you and received your approval to move out with this plan of attack As you can see in FY06-07 we are pilot testing the strategy thru the use of our Model D-B RFP while at the same time we�re reorganized the Centers of Standardization to meet the mission at hand Through the designs developed during the pilot testing in FY06-07, the COS will be developing AB models.

Of those listed on this slide we have awarded projects at Campbell, Knox and at Riley with the use of the Model RFP resulting with 15% cost savings and full scope awards. The model RFP provides for much needed consistency in our acquisition documents and provides for a means of flexibility on how the contractor can meet our requirements Energy Policy Act -2005 and the RFP: The Energy Policy Act of 2005 requires that energy strategies and HVAC and lighting systems shall achieve at least 30 percent energy savings over American National Standard Institute; American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers and Illuminating Engineering Society of North America Standard of 2004. In the Model RFP we specifically state this requirement for the potential proposers. The contractor, as a submittal requirement, is required to submit a Statement of Energy Design Intent (SEDI) which shows the intended energy performance outcome of the contractor design which will be verified by the Government upon construction completion. The contractor is further required to purchase �Energy Star� or Federal Energy Management system Program� designated projects. This requires the contractor to provide products among the highest 25 percent of energy equivalent products for energy efficiency.. The RFP drives the contractor to both energy conservation requirements and sustainability requirements both of which are mutually supportable IN FY06 and FY07 the RBCs will be awarding the contracts based on an acquisition strategy in concert with the MT Programmatic Acquisition Strategy which was approved in Feb 2006. Also in 2006, the COS was restructured from 4 centers to 8 in order to meet current mission needsOur pilot testing of the MT Strategy in FY07 includes both MCA and BRAC projects.

A. Environmental remediation is being accomplished by other contracts, and is not part of the scope of this solicitation. The Government�s cost to accomplish environmental remediation is funded from other sources and is not part of the incremental funding profile provided in 252.232-7007.

8. 8 Questions that pertain to the Solicitation continued Reference, Section 01010, �Construction Integration Services�, paragraph 1.4.1, items f. and i., page 5, how do you maintain a fast-track design and construction schedule if you cannot initiate subcontracts and procurement actions until 100% design of a construction package? A. Please refer to section 01010, page 14, paragraph 1.7, which describes the fast-track approach. The fast-track approach is maintained as a result of incremental packages being released for construction in advance of the entire project being developed to 100% design. The approach envisioned consists of about 10 discrete design packages. Package 1 reaches 100% design before Package 2, and is released for construction. Next, Package 2 reaches 100% design and is released for construction, and so on. When the last package reaches 100% design, the production point referred to in 01010, paragraph 1.6.2.1, has been reached, and the parties will attempt to negotiate a firm fixed price for the entire project. After contract award, the construction contractor will have significant influence over the structure and number of packages that are implemented. For example, long lead equipment or materials may be released earlier in the process if mutually agreeable.
