AGC and DoD Construction Agencies Hold Joint Session on Sustainability

On May 18, AGC held the second joint meeting with representatives from the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Air Force, Army Corps of Engineers and the Naval Facilities Engineering Command, who have formed a special Tri-Service working group on creating an evaluation factor for Total Ownership Costs (TOC) of certain types of facility construction.  In the next coming months the Tri-Service will be initiating a pilot to test a template they have created to utilize during the RFP Process in the 2nd phase technical proposals. This would most likely be a component of the technical evaluation for Sustainability on MilCon projects. Currently, there are seven common MILCON facility types identified. The Tri-Service also has a planned program about this scheduled for June 2 at the Hyatt Dulles. AGC will continue working with the Tri-Services group as the team refines the details of the proposal and takes it to pilot.
