AGC and Department of Defense Officials Meet to Discuss Department’s Sustainability Plans

AGC leaders held a meeting on Nov. 2, 2011, with key officials from the “Tri-services Group” which includes the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Air Force, Army Corps of Engineers and the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (the Tri-Services group) held a joint session to hear about the DOD’s plans to create an evaluation factor for Total Ownership Costs (TOC) of certain types of facility construction. In the coming months, the Tri-Services group will initiate several pilot procurements to test a template they have created to utilize during the RFP process in the second phase technical proposals. This will most likely be a component of the technical evaluation for Sustainability on Marine Corps’ Military Construction (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, finalizes the draft RFP and takes it to pilot.
