DoD Construction Agencies Hold Open Forum Session on Sustainability

On June 2, key officials from the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Air Force, Army Corps of Engineers and the Naval Facilities Engineering Command held an open industry forum to discuss their plans to create an evaluation factor for Total Ownership Costs (TOC) of certain types of facility construction.  In the coming months the Tri-Service will initiate 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. AGC plans on continue sharing information with the Tri-Services group as the team refines the details of the proposal, develops the draft RFP and takes it to pilot.
