Future First Planning (F2P)
What is it?
• Cross functional approach to better utilize installation land
• Fuses facility construction and environmental clean-up with future
land use planning
• Supports construction considerations on open/active restoration
sites
Why?
• AF land is limited…future needs must be the first step in all planning
• Old think restore, cap, post “no trespass”…new think “future need”
How?
• Command Implementation Plan
• Contract through AFCEE, San Antonio TX
• Inventory open ERP sites and base development plans
• Implement at applicable sites command-wide
• Pilot Projects at 4-5 bases in FY04
1 Nov 04
Future First Planning
• What we’ve accomplished:
• Identified, awarded, and executed three pilot projects
• Expanded the program for FY05
• Where we are:
• Institutionalize via Wing Infrastructure Development Outlook
(WINDO)
• Continuing Education (Video, Environmental Symposium,
Conferences)
• Process improvement
• Part of Integrated Planning Initiative

Environmental Program Perspective
For some, no need for change:
• Have achieved good results
• Presently on-target to meet Defense Planning
Guidance goals
• Executing the current program with 80-90 contract
actions every year
1 Nov 04
Performance Based Restoration (PBR)
What is it?
• Target: Site closure
• Minimizes contract actions
• PBR defines “what” is to be achieved, not “how”
Why?
• Historically, emphasis on process, not progress
• Cost overruns and schedule slippages
How?
• Command Acquisition Plan
• Targets seven major acquisitions across the command
• All actions will be performance based and fixed price
• Utilize private sector expertise to achieve desired end-state
Objective – Close out the legacy restoration program

FY04 Effort
• Tasks
•

•
•
• Pre-PBC
Investigation/Study
Landfill Maintenance/Repair
ROD
Sites Closed
• Total Costs
• 17 Sites
• 1
• 4
• 4 Sites
• $5.6 Mil
• PBC
• 26 Sites
• 2
• 22
• 26 Sites
• $5.7 Mil
• Additional Cost Savings
• If awarded in separate TOs (traditional approach) the costs would exceed
$7.1 Mil
• Activities of 26 sites were consolidated into 1 Task Order compared to 10
or more TOs. Internal Management Cost Savings!
• Accelerated Schedule Achievements
1 Nov 04
• 11 Sites projected to achieve regulatory closure over a year ahead of
schedule
• 9 Sites projected to achieve regulatory closure 6 months ahead of
schedule
FY05 PBR Strategy
• Aggregate closeouts into one contract action:
• Involves LTM and NFA actions only
• Ellsworth/Mt Home/Nellis/Offutt combined effort
• Primarily targets groundwater issues
• Utilizes life cycle cost analysis
• Don’t just optimize: relook the remedy
• Langley, Shaw, Seymour Johnson as stand alone
multi-site, multiple year actions
• Target Langley for delisting

PBR Results
• Five Base Closeout
•
•
•
Optimize LTM – Eliminate 1/3 of LTM within 3 yrs
Target site closeout on 40 sites
Near-term investment, mid-term savings
• Seymour Johnson
•
•
•
Regulatory closure of 16 sites with insurance
20% Reduction in schedule vs. government estimate
Cost savings of 35% against FY04 Cost to Complete (CTC)
• Shaw AFB:
•
•
•
Regulatory closure/source reduction 14 sites w/insurance
40% Reduction in schedule vs. government estimate
42% Cost savings against FY04 CTC
• Langley:

1 Nov 04
Site Closure of 15 sites with insurance
Develop draft delisting package (final contract task)
100% Increase in schedule (FY 07 to FY09 completion)
Some funding reallocated for other PBR efforts
57% Cost savings against FY04 CTC
Actions Underway
• Ellsworth/Mt Home/Nellis/Offutt combined effort (Four base
contract)
• Primarily targets groundwater issues
• Utilizes life cycle cost analysis
• Don’t just optimize: relook the remedy
• Prep Avon Park, Barksdale, and Beale for FY06-07
• When complete:
• Significant reduction in number of contract actions per year
• More focus on project control and management
• Clear program objectives identified upfront
1 Nov 04
Execution
• Organize for Success
• Business lines
(Triad/PBR, F2P/ Future Rqts)
• Engaged management approach
• Stabilize the Structure
• Formalizing internal processes
• Automated document flow
• Automated project tracking
• Set the Strategy
• Near-term objectives
• Strategic Plan for the program
1 Nov 04
Today
• Triad
• The mechanism for performing site investigations
• Focus on remediation objectives not completion of RI
• Performance Based Restoration
• Prep Avon Park, Barksdale, and Beale for FY06-07
• Look at Geographically Separated Units
• Design, Build, Remediate, Restore (DBR2) contract vehicle
• Future First Planning
• Link remediation goals to integrated planning needs
• More partnered approach with contract support community
