What is Obtaining Life-Cycle Cost-Effective Facilities in the Department of Defense about?
The Department of Defense (DoD) constructs, operates, and maintains a large number of facilities, such as barracks, hangars, and administrative buildings. In fiscal year 2013, DoD will spend nearly $10 billion constructing new facilities, and about the same amount or more operating and maintaining existing facilities. By focusing on reducing the life-cycle costs of its facilities, DoD can minimize its total cost of facility ownership. Accordingly, DoD incorporates life-cycle cost-effective practices into many aspects of the military planning and construction processes, but challenges and opportunities in the process remain. This report provides RAND⁰́₉s description and assessment of the process used to obtain life-cycle cost-effective facilities and how that affects DoD construction options and choices. The research approach featured structured interviews with more than 30 individuals with varying roles and perspectives on the military construction (MILCON) and facility sustainment processes. The research team also reviewed MILCON protocols, policies, documents, and contracts to characterize the process of obtaining life-cycle cost-effective facilities. At each step of the MILCON p
