APPLYING ASSET MANAGEMENT PRINCIPLES IN DEVELOPING YOUR SAoA

What: How to think Asset Management Concepts and Develop Courses of Action for the SAoA

Pre‐COA Analysis/Requirement Validation Checklist;

□ Strategic Direction/Objectives – Identify and connect Requirement with AF Strategic Directions/Objectives

□ Mission Support Justification – How does the Requirement support the installation’s mission?

What mission or operational risk does the Requirement mitigate?

□ Consistent with Installation Develop Plan – Review Requirement against IDP and/or planning documents to ensure alignment, any discrepancies, or gap requirements for future development or missions

□ Studies/Reports/Testing – Do existing studies, plans, surveys, reports, etc. support the Requirement? Should a study/report be performed to thoroughly investigate the action?

□ Space Optimization Assessment – Confirm that space optimization is being considered, as applicable. Have space assessments been performed? Is there excess, adequate, functional space within the installations inventory?

□ Condition Assessment – Confirm that the asset’s condition has been properly assessed and captured within the respective Sustainment Management or equivalent System.

□ Air Force Level of Service – Review the Requirement against standard LoS and identify variances as needed.

DEVELOPING COARSES OF ACTION

Facilities Example: Large Scale Building Renovation Base’s initial approach: “We need to renovate Building 123 for $10M” Correct problem statement “What is the optimal solution to provide administrative space at a defined level of service for X function with XXX people?”

COA 1: Renovate in phases (may increase overall costs, longer schedule) COA 2: Renovate entire facility (lower costs but may not have swing space, may have to rent temporary trailers, etc).

COA 3: MILCON (unlikely unless New Mission/beddown – long approval processs) COA 4: Rent space downtown – what are yearly costs? Do we save money by demolishing existing building and not pay maintenance, utility, custodial costs, etc.?

COA 5: Consolidate functions/relocation of personnel on base in different buildings (what are the cost to renovate alternative buildings?)

Transportation Example: Pavement Repair of Airfield

Base’s initial approach: “We need a brand new runway for $100M” Correct problem statement: “What are the Airfield service requirements and what are current or predicted gaps necessary to sustain service? ”

Webinar Ideas.docx

COA 1: Full depth runway replacement ‐ $100M (long schedule, ~10% of AF FSRM budget (right time), Economic Analysis supported?)

COA 2: Partial depth replacement of entire runway COA 3 – Selective slab, full depth replacement (less costly but have slabs of varying ages/quality/not a uniform repair, still provides airfield service with minimal or no risk for 7 years and POM for full replacement) COA 4: Expand width and length to accommodate installation growth as indicated in IDP

Utilities Example 1: Central Steam Plant and Steam Distribution Repair

Bases initial approach ‘We need a new steam plant and all new steam distribution system” Correct problem statement: “How do I provide heat to 20 buildings currently served by central steam plant?

COA 1: Replace Central Steam; reuse existing steam distribution system (what are the estimated energy losses in reusing the existing lines? What is the remaining service life of the lines?)

COA 2: Replace Steam Plant and steam distribution lines

COA 3: Demolish Steam Plant; expand natural gas system, use decentralized boilers (infrastructure savings, no need for plant operators, energy cost comparison of decentralized boilers versus central steam, etc.)

Utilities Example 2: Prime Power Plant Generator replacement ‐ $30M

Base’s initial approach: “We need a new 10 MW generator to provide N+1 redundancy for our power plant, 2 of our generators (5 MW combined) are old and the local power grid is expensive.

Correct Problem statement: “How do we provide reliable power to the base given its current and projected load?”

COA 1: Replace 2 generators with 10 MW generator to provide N+1 redundancy ‐ $30M.

COA 2: Replace existing generators with slightly large generators (7.5 MW combined) – provides some redundancy, but not N+1.

COA 3: Replace existing generators with generators of the same size (5 MW combined) – doesn’t provide N+1 redundancy, but can buy any extra power needed from grid. (What is cost of power from grid? How often are generators down for maintenance? What is projected cost of buying from grid over the life cycle of replacement generators? If we commit to buying a set amount of power, can we negotiate a new rate with the utility provider?)

Other Points to Emphasize

1) CoAs need to be well thought out. Inadequate CoAs, or poorly justified CoAs will be rejected.

2) CoAs require cost estimates.

Webinar Ideas.docx

3) Bases can have a desired CoA, but they can’t just pick one and ignore developing cost estimates for the rest

4) Projects do get returned by SAF/IEI for inadequate CoA development. Having a 100% designed project is no guarantee CoA will be approved

5) Contact AFCEC/COAU Sub‐AMP Managers for assistance in COA development – the earlier the better. Saves design dollars and frustration for all involved.

COA 4 – Est Cost: $

Simplified Analysis of Alternatives (SAoA) Template

COA 1 – Status Quo Est Cost: $100K

Maintain Taxiway 1 as is. Continue to repair using in-house work force.

PRO: Minimal funds used to maintain CON: Pavement will continue to degrade. High potential for FOD and extreme cost and damage to Aircraft due to FOD. Potential mission degradation due to potential loss or downtime of aircraft.

COA 2 – Replace Taxiway 1 Est Cost: $10.55M

Replace Taxiway 1 in its entirety. Increase taxiway concrete thickness from 12” to 16” to accommodate larger and heavier aircraft.

PRO: Complete replacement of the taxiway will completely remove and future damage to aircraft and ensure availability of the taxiway to be used without affecting mission CON: High cost to AF. Taxiway down-time will be almost 18 months. Complete replacement not needed.

Waste of tax-payer dollars.

FY18 Installation: Travis AFB Project # ABCD201601234 Est Cost: $1.234M

Project Description:

Repair Taxiway 1 Alpha by replacing approximately 75 concrete slabs. Remove deteriorated slabs to base and sub-base course. Repair base and sub-base. Concrete slabs 15’ x 15’ by 16” thick

Impact If Not Funded: Taxiway is near its end of service life. Failure to fund this project will result in extensive cost and manpower to maintain. Continue surface degradation may also result in taxiway closure.

COA 3 – Repair Taxiway 1 Est Cost: $1.234M

Replace approximately 75 concrete slabs. Redo joints and repair approximately 3000 SF of Spaulding area.

PRO: Taxiway is repair and rendered usable. FOD potential is reduced or eliminated on this taxiway. Taxiway down-time is reduced.

CON: Additional slab replacement may be required in the future. Taxiway will not be available for approximately 6 months. Minimum mission degradation

SELECTED COA - COA 3, Repair Taxiway 1 Est Cost: $1.234M

Justification: COA 3 was selected because it’s the lowest cost to the Air Force while at the same time providing the minimum repairs needed at this time and provides the minimum affect to the mission.
