OFFICE OF THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY

DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCE

WASHINGTON DC

XX Apr 20

MEMORANDUM FOR HQ USAF/A4C

FROM: SAF/IEE

1665 Air Force Pentagon Washington, DC 20330-1665

SUBJECT: Thirty-five Percent Design Criteria for Air Force Military Construction Projects

Congress requires, as stated in DoD 7000.14-R, Financial Management Regulation, Vol.

2B, Chapter 6, paragraph 060403.D.3.a(1)(c), projects to be 35% designed before inclusion in the annual budget request. This level of project development is to ensure credible cost estimates and posture military construction projects for execution in the year of appropriation. Frequent and large variations of award amounts over the past several years have heightened Congressional interest in reliable cost estimates.

While awaiting publication of OSD guidance, it is Air Force policy that to satisfy the 35% design requirement a project design must be sufficiently developed to support a Class 3 cost estimate as defined by Table 3 in Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering (AACE) International RP 56R-08. Furthermore, all applicable technical deliverables designated as Started/Preliminary in the Class 3 column of Table 3 must be Preliminary, defined as “Work on the deliverable is advanced. Interim, cross-functional reviews have usually been conducted.

Development may be near completion except for final reviews and approvals.”

The SAF/IEE POC for this matter is Lt Col D. Jason Bartels II, (703) 693-2047, dwain.bartels@us.af.mil.

ESTIMATE INPUT CHECKLIST AND MATURITY MATRIX

Table 3 maps the extent and maturity of estimate input information (deliverables) against the five estimate classification levels. This is a checklist of basic deliverables found in common practice in the building and general construction industries. The maturity level is an approximation of the completion status of the deliverable. The degree of completion is indicated by the following descriptors:

General Project Data:

• Not Required: May not be required for all estimates of the specified class, but specific project estimates may require at least preliminary development.

• Preliminary: Project definition has begun and progressed to at least an intermediate level of completion.

Review and approvals for its status has occurred.

• Defined: Project definition is advanced, and reviews have been conducted. Development may be near completion with the exception of final approvals.

Technical Deliverables:

• Not Required (NR): Deliverable may not be required for all estimates of the specified class, but specific project estimates may require at least preliminary development.

• Started (S): Work on the deliverable has begun. Development is typically limited to sketches, rough outlines, or similar levels of early completion.

• Preliminary (P): Work on the deliverable is advanced. Interim, cross-functional reviews have usually been conducted. Development may be near completion except for final reviews and approvals.

• Complete (C): The deliverable has been reviewed and approved as appropriate.
