 Seattle District – Reducing staff ~20% IAW anticipated FY15–17
programs; flexibility & agility via Region & Industry
 Military – Less MILCON & More FSRM; Service Contracts,
Enhanced Commissioning
 Civil Works – Tension between reduced HQ staff & reduced $;
hard to get things done but WRDA passed . . . 2015 KC SWIF Plan
 Operations – Aging Infrastructure; Asset Mgt vs Fix-As-Fail
 Environmental/IIS – Discretionary Customer Base
 Energy & Sustainability – Apply to USACE Infrastructure O&M
 Contracting Tools – Regional Perspective, Innovation
BUILDING STRONG®
District Workload & Future
Current Outlook: Relatively healthy/diverse outlook; working regionally
FY14 Workload $610M
 Military Missions – $415M / 70%
 Civil Works – $142M / 23%
 Environmental/Interagency – $43M / 7%
FY15 Workload Projection $475M
 Military Missions – $319M /67%
 Civil Works – $130M/28%
 Environmental/Interagency – $26M/5%
Future Direction: Workload reduction drives staff decreases via shaping
strategy w/People, Business, & Markets lines of effort; limited “peaking”
capability provides potential opportunity for industry
