8. Performance Based Cleanup (PBC) Acquisition Strategy for AFRPA

9. PBC Objectives and Goal • Objectives • Protection of Human Health and the Environment • Accelerates closeout and/or reduces lifecycle costs • Shift risk from the Government to private sector • Harnesses innovations/creativity of the private sector • Includes a full suite of contract tools • Goal is to match the “problem” with the best solution

10. What is PBC? • Performance Based Contracting (PBC) – • Focus on results, rather than methods • Set measurable performance objectives • Set quality standards • Identify incentives, when appropriate • PBCs vary depending on project objectives and risk, e.g. • Guaranteed Fixed Price Remediation (includes insurance) • Firm Fixed Price (without insurance) • Firm Fixed Price with incentives

11. Active remediation, alternate technology? Will site achieve RC within 5-9 yrs? Will site achieve SC within 9 yrs? No No Yes GFPR Candidate Active IRP Site Evaluation No Yes Yes Optimization FFP & FFP w/ Incentives PBC Candidate FFP PBC Candidate Developing an AFCEE Strategy • Initial Strategy: • Categorize sites using decision logic framework • Embraces lessons learned from Army & private sector PBC efforts

12. PBC Assumptions • Contracts will be competitively solicited among WERC contractors • Period of Performance will be up to 5 years, plus 4 option years • Activities will be funded during first 5 years only • Profile for annual funding • Fund options in year five • Target: one contract per base, group bases where appropriate • Exclude chemical warfare materials, radiological, munitions/explosives handling from scope

13. Site Closeout Category • Site closure scheduled within the next 9 years*, in general: • Lock-in planned closure date • Less risk, insurance not recommended • Recommended Firm Fixed Price PBC • Considerations: • Ensure contractors meet or beat site closure milestones • Cost savings through competition and economies of scale *Based on 5-year PoP and 4 option years; subject to change

14. Response Complete Category • Response complete scheduled in the next 9 years*: • Lock-in response complete by planned date – no slippage! • Increased contractor risk • Recommended approach: • Firm Fixed Price to achieve response complete milestones • Incentives to achieve accelerated site closure • Considerations: • Savings resulting from competition and innovation • Opportunity for reduced schedules • Consider incentives for accelerated response complete *Based on 5-year PoP and 4 option years; subject to change

15. Alternate Technology Category • Active remediation with response complete >10 years and alternative technology available • Performance objectives tailored to site • Higher contractor risk • Example: Pump and treat • Recommended approach • Guaranteed Fixed Price Remediation PBC • Use pre-solicitation process to determine if alternative technology exists • Consider shared savings for cost reduction • Considerations: • Affords greatest opportunity for significant lifecycle savings • Cost/ benefit analysis to evaluate funding profile • Increased regulator interaction/negotiation • High early investment requirements – budget limitations

16. Optimization Category • If site closure or response complete >10 years and alternative technology not available • Performance objective is reduced costs • Low contractor risk • Examples: Landfill cap; LTM • Recommended approach • Firm Fixed Price with incentives to reduce lifecycle costs • Share cost savings • Considerations: • No special considerations

17. Bases for PBC • AFRPA Div A • Griffiss • Grissom • Homestead • Loring • Pease • Plattsburg • AFRPA Div B • Gentile • Newark • Rickenbacker • KI Sawyer • Wurtsmith • AFRPA Div D • Castle • George • March • Mather • Norton Group Ohio Group Michigan Group

18. Implementation • Total PBC Initiative Contract Value • First Year Total $20-30 Million for 16 Bases • Total Contract Value Up To $200 Million • Verify Site and Funding Data • Fine Tune Strategy to Site/Base • Develop briefing/education materials for all the players • Form implementation teams (e.g., AFRPA, BEC, AFCEE, regulator, LRA) • Develop Statement of Objectives (SOO)

19. Implementation • Contracting schedule – 5 1/2 months to contract award from scoping effort • Pre-Solicitation Package (Draft SOO) • On-Site and Regulator Meetings • Shorten timeframe where feasible • Contractor selection: best value evaluation • Ohio Bases Expedited as Prototype • PBC Phasing • Phase 1: Gentile, Newark & Rickenbacker (Ohio Group); Grissom; Homestead; Mather; and Castle • Phase 2: Loring & Pease; K.I Sawyer & Wurtsmith; Plattsburgh, Norton; and George • Phase 3: March • Develop/execute contract transition plans

20. ISSUES • Contractor/regulator/Air Force interface • Contract oversight • FY05 budget limitations
