AFCEE ENVIRONMENTAL RESTORATION PERFORMANCE BASED CONTRACTING (PBC) CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS, (22 February 2007 - FINAL). This document presents the Air Force Center for Environmental Excellence’s (AFCEE’s) position regarding Performance-Based Contracting (PBC) and outlines the Concept of Operations (CONOPs) for how AFCEE will execute PBC for the Air Force Environmental Restoration Program (ERP). AFCEE conducted a series of workshops and focus group meetings with its internal staff, customers, and industry partners to craft this PBC implementation approach. The collaborative nature of AFCEE’s CONOPs development ensured key stakeholder buy-in and position statements that reflect diverse viewpoints. This AFCEE CONOPs complements the USAF HQ/ILEVR PBC guidance by detailing how AFCEE will execute PBCs for the Air Force ERP with specific discussion on AFCEE contracts, processes, and approaches. The Air Force is undergoing a systematic review of its ERP and evaluating methods to implement exit strategies for sites and bases. These exit strategies can include a multitude of different approaches including privatization deals and PBCs. Historically, maximum achievable cleanup technologies and cleanup standards have driven the ERP. Now, the AF is committed to a systematic process where the AF mission or specific reuse objectives will drive the cleanup end states and, where possible, the AF will execute exit strategies such as PBCs to achieve those objectives. AFCEE considers PBC to be a contracting approach whereby the scope of work is performed with minimal focus on process and maximum focus on results. Characteristics of PBCs include: • Government describes the objective and performance measures but does not mandate the process to be used to meet the objectives • Can be used with a variety of contract types (e.g., Firm Fixed Price, Cost Plus Incentive Fee); however, where appropriate, Firm Fixed Price contracts are preferred • Focuses on sound management principles, performance metrics, comprehensive up-front planning, risk management, and performance.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESTORATION PERFORMANCE-BASED CONTRACTING GUIDEBOOK. I. Background and Purpose The Department of the Air Force (AF) Environmental Restoration Program (ERP) is committed to implementing performance-based contracting (PBC) to achieve cleanup program goals through a more effective acquisition process. To formalize this commitment, the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Environment, Safety, and Occupational Health (SAF/IEE) issued the AF Cleanup Program Performance-Based Management Policy memo, dated 27 October 2004, which calls for the use of PBC and acquisition strategies to the greatest extent possible.1 The AF has traditionally relied on specific contracting mechanisms that define the approaches and processes to be used for achieving the defined contract objectives. Such mechanisms typically utilize contract types such as cost reimbursable plus fee, time & material (T&M), and process-oriented firm-fixed price. Under these traditional contracting mechanisms, contractors are required to adhere to the Government-specified processes and technologies, and payments are based on contractor compliance with the provided project specifications, rather than achievement of the intended final objectives. 1 SAF/IEE memorandum, Air Force Cleanup Program Performance- Based Management Policy, 27 Oct 2004. Performance-based contracting, which typically utilizes the fixed-price contract type, represents a paradigm shift from these traditional acquisition strategies and focuses on the achievement of the desired contract objectives without specifying the processes or technologies used to achieve those objectives. Consequently, performance requirements under PBCs are established in a manner that encourages contractor innovation and creativity, while shifting contract performance risk from the Government to the contractor. Table 1 on the following page presents some key advantages and considerations in using PBC. This Guidebook is intended to provide an overview of AF’s approach for implementing PBCs and assist remedial project managers (RPMs) in: • Understanding the basics of PBC; • Screening restoration sites for potential PBC applications; • Identifying the key components of a Statement of Objectives (SOO); • Developing and successfully awarding PBCs for environmental restoration projects. PBCs are intended to be inherently flexible and applicable to a wide range of projects with numerous funding profiles, end goals, and approaches. PBCs can be utilized for part or all of the environmental restoration process, including site studies, interim removal actions, site remediation, and site closure. However, specific projects may have special considerations that require alternative approaches not discussed here, and therefore, where possible, the Guidebook provides sources on where to seek additional guidance.

AIR FORCE INSTRUCTION 32-1042, STANDARDS FOR MARKING AIRFIELDS (27 OCT 2005)., This instruction implements Air Force policy directive (AFPD) 32-10, Installations and Facilities. It pro- vides Air Force standards for marking airfield pavements and obstructions. It gives the minimum level of marking necessary for paved surfaces of runways, taxiways, helipads, and the surfaces of obstructions. (See Engineering Technical Letter (ETL) 04-7, C-130 and C-17 Landing Zone (LZ) Dimensional, Mark- ing, and Lighting Criteria, for landing zone marking requirements.) It applies to all Air Force activities except those operating at airports owned and controlled by an authority other than the Department of Defense (DoD). For airports under Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) jurisdiction, use FAA Advi- sory Circular (AC) 150/5340-1, Standards for Airport Markings. For DoD facilities overseas, if a written agreement exists between the host nation and DoD that requires application of North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), or FAA standards, those stan- dards shall apply as stipulated within the agreement. For cases where a Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) specifically requires international standards, use ICAO Annex 14, Volume I, Aerodromes (for fixed wing runways) or Annex 14, Volume II, Heliports (for rotary wing helipads and runways), as appro- priate. Air Force tenant organizations on civil airports should use these standards on the military portion of the airfield to the maximum extent practicable; otherwise, FAA criteria apply. Use this instruction in conjunction with the layout criteria provided in ETL 04-2, Standard Airfield Pavement Marking Schemes.

AIR FORCE INSTRUCTION 63-107, INTEGRATED PRODUCT SUPPORT PLANNING AND ASSESSMENT (10 NOV 2004)., his Air Force Instruction (AFI) implements Air Force Policy Directive (AFPD)20-5, Air Force Product Support Planning and Management and AFPD63-1, Capability-Based Acquisition System. It vests responsibility for both acquisition and sustainment product support planning in the Program Manager (PM). Air Force Space Command (AFSPC) is exempt from this AFI for systems not acquired under Department of Defense Instruction (DODI)5000.2, Operation of the Defense Acquisition System. The Department of Defense (DOD) concept of life cycle system management assigns the PM authority and responsibility for implementation, management, and oversight of all activities associated with a DOD sys- tem throughout its life cycle. The PM is accountable through the Program Executive Officer (PEO) or Air Logistics Center (ALC) Commander (CC) reporting chain for ensuring viable and complementary acqui- sition and sustainment strategies are developed early in the system life cycle. PM responsibility for secu- rity assistance (SA) [foreign military sales (FMS)] programs is limited to elements/tasks that are contained in a Government-to-Government agreement and specifically implemented for execution to the PM, through the appropriate accountability reporting chain, by the assigned DOD component authority over the agreement. Weapon system sustainment planning and execution impact life cycle cost and are to be emphasized in the life cycle management plan (LCMP). DODI5000.2 identifies elements for effective weapon system sustainment.

COST HANDBOOK, HISTORICAL AIR FORCE CONSTRUCTION, USAF DIRECTORATE OF ENGINEERING, SUPPORT (FEB 2007). The Historical Air Force Construction Cost Handbook is prepared by the Directorate of Technical Support, HQ AFCESA/CESC, to provide valid historical costs used in preparing cost estimates and analyses for Air Force construction. Updates are made annually. Prices for OSD Common Facilities, Area Cost Factors, escalation rates, and the size adjustment curve are from UFC 3-701-07, DoD Facility Pricing Guide. Data for AF Unique Facility Costs, Supporting Facility Costs, and Supporting Facility Percentages are from AF Historical data in the Program, ACES system, DD Forms 1391, the Parametric Cost Engineering System (PACES); or from detailed quantity takeoff estimates from typical designs. The historical costs are carefully purged to ensure the correct data is listed. Projects with unusual costs often turn out to be additions, alterations, or add/alter projects and are not used in the database. Other reasons include bidding climate, special design features included that are not normally used on an average facility, or unique conditions at a certain location.
