17. Budget PRI MILCON DD1391 project development with Economic Analysis
(1) Installation Development Plans (IDPs) are defined in Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) 2-100-
01, as a comprehensive planning document that guides the long-term strategic and operational development of an installation. The IDP outlines how an installation will achieve its vision over a
20-year period, including vision and scenario workshops, land use studies, rough order of magnitude cost estimates, and other related tasks. Unique to NAVFAC Washington is the requirement for National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) approval of each project, which must be reflected on an NCPC-approved (or reviewed) master plan.
(2) Area Development Plans (ADP) are a detailed plan for future development within a specific area of an installation. ADPs follow the same process as IDPs to analyze existing conditions, constraints, opportunities, and capability gaps. They guide development and ensure it aligns with the overall mission and strategic goals of the installation. For purposes of NCPC submission, NAVFAC Washington requires ADPs with additional features to comply with NCPC requirements.
(3) Transportation Management Plans (TMP) are required by the National Capital Planning
Commission (NCPC) TMP Handbook. TMP's should include: (a) Defined Goals and Objectives;
(b) Description of Existing and Planned Transportation System; (c) Travel Patterns and
Commuter Behavior; (d) Projected Travel and Impacts; (e) Transportation Demand Management
(TDM); (f) Implementation; and (g) Monitoring and Evaluation.
(4) Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) is a comparison of the operational effectiveness, suitability, and life-cycle cost of alternative material solutions that satisfy an established capability need to be identified in an Initial Capabilities Document (ICD). An AoA addresses Capability Gaps identified in ICD for solutions to close or mitigate the “cap gaps”. AoAs should include the cost and timelines of proposed COAs, Concepts of Operations (CONOPS), overall risk to mission, and Measures of Effectiveness (MOE).
(5) Asset Evaluations (AEs) assess and determine the suitability and value of existing facilities and other real property assets. AEs evaluate the physical condition of assets, their functional adequacy, and their compliance with safety and siting criteria. This also involves confirming dimensions, area, uses, and users. The information gathered through asset evaluations is used to update real property records within the internet Naval Facilities Assets Data Store (iNFADS), the
Navy’s system of record and planning tool for real property.
(6) Basic Facility Requirements (BFRs) define the space requirements and support needs of tenant commands requiring facility solutions. BFRs are typically developed at the installation level, following UFC guidelines. BFRs serve as a foundational element for facility master planning activities, providing a baseline for future development and allowance of space. They specify the space needed by different units, offices, or activities stationed on the installation. In addition, BFRs provide the space requirements categorized by functional area to help ensure accurate planning and resource allocation.
(7) Site Selection Studies – require the analysis of proposed project siting, criteria compliance;
ESQD/HERF/HERO/HERP zones; contaminated soils; steep slopes and potential land use conflicts. These deliverables are included in a Site Approval and DD1391 project development.
(8) Special Studies * analyze emerging requirements and risks not captured by existing products.
Such emerging requirements include the applicability of AI to existing systems, process, and plans under the purview of NAVFACs technical authority. Examples could include combinations of several products; labor market analyses; public works management studies; and evaluation of new technology, land or facilities for potential government acquisition.
(9) Encroachment Action Plans (EAPs) identify and create strategic plans to mitigate various encroachment challenges within an installation as defined by OPNAVINST 11010.40A. Such
Encroachment Challenges include: (a) Competition for Air, Land, and Sea Space; (b) Onshore and Offshore Energy Development; (c) Competition for Scarce Resources; (d) Urban
Development (population growth); (e) Threatened or Endangered species; (f) Cultural Resources;
(g) Wetlands and Maritime Interests; (h) Infringement on Explosive Safety Quantity Distance
Arcs; (i) Frequency Spectrum Concerns; (j) Foreign Proximity; (k) Ocean Observing Systems
Concerns; and (I) Impacts of a Changing Climate (resilience).
(10) Cost Estimates Unless otherwise directed, cost estimates should be prepared as follows:
a. Installation-level MILCON DD1391 estimates should be prepared following UFC 3-701-01
DoD Facilities Pricing Guide and DoD 3-730-01 Programming Cost Estimates for Military
Construction.
b. FEC-level MILCON DD1391 estimates (as outlined in the MCON/MCNR Consistency
Review Board Guidelines and DD1391 Development dated 22 May 2024 (or a revised-current one if available) should be prepared by one of the following methods, list in order of best to least method:
a. Recent construction of same type of facility
b. Quantity take-off
c. Parametric
d. Square Meter/Foot estimating
e. Project comparison estimating
c. Major Repair Special Project, Unspecified Minor Construction, Laboratory Revitalization, and Defense Industrial Base Facility Approval Package estimates should be prepared in accordance with CNIC Instruction 110.10.XX and UFC 3-740-05 CH-2. Provide estimated costs in a Level 3 Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) or Level 2 ASTM UNIFORMAT II structure that is generated in PACES.
(11) Facility Planning Charrettes are forums to identify and resolve issues with project requirements, scope, cost, functionality, location, concept of operations, and the analysis of the
Minimum Viable Project (MVP). The MVP is developed through disciplined requirements and tradeoff analysis, and culminates in a hard requirement the planning charrette. MVP determination identifies the minimum space, capability, and capacity required to deliver facility support to essential missions. The MVP must also meet fire, life safety, health and other non-waiverable Department of Defense (DoD) building code requirements, but other UFCs and codes may be waived or diminished for the sake of cost efficiency. Decisions regarding the applicability of ACM, mission need date, and performance parameters for the project shall be documented in the final planning charrette summary report. The expectation is that CNIC will be the final approval authority for the MVP, and the scope and requirements will not change after the charrette.
(12) Functional Analysis Concept Development (FACD) sessions (design charrettes) are cooperative efforts by the design team, user and client representatives, installation planning staff, DD Form 1391 project team members, other appropriate regional staff, facility engineering command personnel, and other interested parties. A charrette may last one to three days, while a
FACD may last one to two weeks. Design charrettes aim to develop a schematic design in response to functional, aesthetic, environmental, base planning, site, and budgetary requirements.
Submittals include meeting minutes, schematic design, and documentation of the decision and information that led up to that decision, including a partnering agreement signed by all the principal participants.
(13) Traffic / Parking Movement Studies identify and map the flow of vehicles within and directly outside of an installation before and after projects or other major actions that affect transportation. Movement Studies show how internal networks relate to off-base networks and analyze potential encroachments risks by surrounding road networks. They also identify street types and hierarchies, levels of service and problem areas.
(14) Safety Site Approvals (EMR, Ordnance, Airfield, etc.) NAVFACINST 11010.45A establishes the Site Approval Request Process, and associated NAVFAC 11010/31, Part I provides the SAR document to be completed and signed. Category B SARs apply to projects or events with characteristics identified in paragraph 2c that in addition, have safety impacts or require approval above the span of control of the ICO: (1) Explosives Safety;(2) Airfield
Safety;(3) Electromagnetic Radiation Safety (HERP/HERF/HERO); (4) Electromagnetic
Radiation Safety (EMI); (5) Radiological Safety; and (6) Small Arms Range Safety.
(15) Explosive Safety Approval Package: NAVFAC requires Subject Matter Expert (SME) technical assistance and routing support for endorsements. The installation sends the package through WebSAR with required components and the endorsement letter with installation level signatures. The FEC is responsible for four components of the package, and requires: RESO
Endorsement, FEC Endorsement, NAVFAC Form Part 1, and Explosive Site Plan Quality
Evaluation. First, the FEC will receive the installation request letter, after which a SME will assist the FEC in soliciting the first endorsement from the regional explosive safety officer (RESO).
Second, a SME will assist with review of the package and previous two letters so that PDC can sign the Second Endorsement Letter. Third is SME coordination of NAVFAC form Part 1, which confirms that the project is in line with the installation's plan. Fourth, the Explosives Site Plan
Quality Evaluation, which is a checklist of what is needed; a SME will ensure that the elements have been uploaded, and they are adequate and accurate.
(16) Airfield Wavier: Endorsement support for Airfield Safety Wavier (ASW) is needed.
Navy policy is to identify and mitigate risk using the waiver process for permanent and temporary obstructions on airfields that violate imaginary surfaces including clearance requirements for clear zones, approach/departure surfaces, runways, taxiways, parking aprons, high power run-up pads, or any other pavement, structure, utility, or building that may be located on the primary surface, penetrate an imaginary surface, or provide for clearances less than those defined by UFC
3-260-01. NAVAIR evaluates each ASW request on a case by case basis, including Pre-
Existing/Exempt facilities built under previous criteria. Although an airfield safety waiver may be requested, approval is not guaranteed. If approved, the ASW will include various operational restrictions and/or conditions depending on a range of factors. The factors may include mission requirements, location and height of project, project schedule, type of project and equipment, impact on adjacent airfield facilities, number of workers, compliance with design criteria, class of waiver, duration of waiver request, and the operational risk management (ORM) report. The firm, with guidance from airfield management will be expected to evaluate the waiver requests against criteria and other airfield operations and constraints, prepare a recommendation for the government endorsement authority, draft appropriate correspondence for signature, and respond to subsequent Requests for Information (RFI).
(17) Budget PRI MILCON DD1391 project development with Economic Analysis and other required documents. Firm will develop all sections of a Budget PRI (Project Readiness
Index) level DD Form 1391 using the Programming Administration & Execution System (PAX).
DD1391s capture initial project development actions, connecting costs and project scope to a tenant’s mission. Firm will fully document real property, environmental, traffic, and other issues for compliance. The Economic Analysis process is as follows: (1) define the objective based on planning actions and project scope, (2) generate alternatives, (3) formulate assumptions., (4) determine costs and benefits, (5) compare costs and benefits and rank alternatives, (6) perform sensitivity analysis; and (7) results and recommendations.
2.b Preferred FEC Core Capabilities
1. Alternative Construction Methods (ACM) analysis*
2. AI Software-assisted Space Planning Studies*
3. Navy Technical Representative (NTR) Services for NAVFAC Contracts
(1) Alternative Construction Methods (ACM) analysis*: The ACM template was provided in
VectorGram 24-003 guidance and expanded in the CNIC-NAVFAC Joint Letter of 7 Mar 2025. It is currently required for FY29 and beyond MILCONs, and certain large centrally managed projects. Defined as methods of construction that differ from traditional forms of construction.
ACM may include but are not limited to off-site/industrial construction, volumetric or kit-of-parts modular construction, offsite prefabricated construction, tension fabric structures, and pre-engineered metal or fiber reinforced panel buildings. NAVFAC is developing a tool to aid in speed and consistency of analysis. Firm will be expected to use the ACM tool for this analysis, and to provide engineering and architectural expertise sufficient to address areas not covered by the ACM tool.
(2) AI Software-assisted Space Planning Studies*: NAVFAC Washington Planning seeks to continue developing large scale space management analytical capabilities, preferably with
Artificial Intelligence (AI) assistance. Desired capabilities range from strategic planning to space excursions (time-sensitive “what-if” scenarios, often to support new mission standup or re-stationing actions) to daily space management. A realistic example of such a study would be expanding or shrinking the Navy footprint, analyzing dozens of tenants’ space requirements and the cost of moves and space fit-up or renovation. AI software will allow rapid COA development and the capacity to switch focus based on leadership-driven values such as cost, space efficiency, space effectiveness (flexibility or capacity for growth), collocation of similar missions, distribution of swing space, etc. Firm will be expected to perform such studies rapidly and at low cost using Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) software (no specific platform identified). Initial task(s) envisioned to format iNFADS, GRX, floorplans, ADPs, IDPs, space criteria, site criteria, cost data, etc. to enable an AI system to process user queries. Potential examples and resulting
Navy capabilities: Software installed on corporate servers and eventually NITC servers;
Contractor provides a given quantity of licenses for several years; Contractor provides program manual, training, and a set period of user troubleshooting support. Firm should be prepared to perform such studies, and to advise NAVFAC Washington on the feasibility of fielding and using such software on Navy systems. There is currently no demand signal from Navy leadership for such internal capability, but software packages are being evaluated at the ECH II level.
(3) Navy Technical Representative (NTR) Services for NAVFAC Contracts: assisting NAVFAC project managers with product or service oversight tasks that are not inherently governmental.
FAR Subpart 7.5 gives a partial list of potential functions:
reference https://www.acquisition.gov/far/subpart-7.5
3. NAVFAC PWD Support Tasks - The PWD-level Support Tasks under this contract include but are not limited to:
3.a Required PWD Support Capabilities
1. Bulk AE *
2. Bulk BFR *
3. Safety Site Approvals
4. Space Planning and Assignment for New Tenant Requests
5. FSRM Project Planning and Development (DD1391) with Economic Analysis
(1) Bulk AE *: see Asset Evaluations under NAVFAC FEC Core Support Tasks for more detail.
Such a task could require 100 or more AEs.
(2) Bulk BFR *see Basic Facility Requirements under NAVFAC FEC Core Support Tasks for more detail. Such a task could require 100 or more BFRs.
(3) Safety Site Approvals – Performing installation-level responsibilities associated with the process described under NAVFAC FEC Core Support Tasks entitled Explosive Safety Approval Package and Airfield Waivers. Firm will prepare Explosive Safety Siting Request Packages compliant with NAVSEA OP 5. NAVFACINST 11010.45A establishes the Site Approval Request Process, and associated NAVFAC 11010/31, Part I provides the SAR document to be completed and signed. Category B SARs apply to projects or events with characteristics identified for non-safety site approvals that in addition, have safety impacts or require approval above the span of control of the ICO.
https://www.acquisition.gov/far/subpart-7.5
(4) Space Planning and Assignment for New Tenant Requests: Firm will perform space management analysis in support of PWD response to space requests. Per NDWNCRINST
11010.1 Naval District Washington (NDW) and National Capital Region Space Management
Policy, priority of facility space will be given in the following order: (1) Existing installation
DON tenants who submit space requests in accordance with the Installation Development Plan
(IDP). Space requests that are not in alignment with the IDP may be given lesser priority at the
Installation Commanding Officer's (ICO's) discretion; (2) New DON tenants; (3) DoD tenants.
Applies to new and existing DOD tenants; (4) Non-DoD tenants with beneficial missions to IDP;
and (5) Non-DoD tenants with compatible missions to IDP. The need for this capability is unlikely to change if the FMD moves to a CNIC command.
(5) FSRM Project Planning and Development (DD1391) with Economic Analysis and other required Programming Administration & Execution System (PAX) account. DD1391’s capture initial project development connecting costs and project scope to mission. Economic Analysis process is as follows: (1) define the objective based on planning actions and project scope, (2) generate alternatives, (3) formulate assumptions., (4) determine costs and benefits, (5) compare costs and benefits and rank alternatives, (6) perform sensitivity analysis; and (7) results and recommendations. The need for this capability is unlikely to change if the FMD moves to a
CNIC command.
3.b Preferred PWD Support Capabilities
1. Project Prioritization
2. Other Safety Site Approvals (HERF/HERO/HERP and Ranges)
3. Non-Safety Site Approvals
4. SRM Project DASN Packages
5. FIAR Audit Readiness (Existing & Completeness)
6. Real Estate Requirements Packages
7. Gap Analysis: Comparison of requirements and assets
8. FPD preparation (Partial), in coordination with Navy staff
9. Requirements Data Sheets
10. Alternative Construction Methods (ACM) Analysis*
(1) Project Prioritization: In developing MEP, MAP and LRMP, PWDs must prioritize projects using various criteria. Firm will assist PWDs with this task as needed in response to staffing challenges.
(2) Other Safety Site Approvals (HERF/HERO/HERP and Ranges): In addition to the airfield and explosive safety tasks supporting PWDs, firms will assist PWDs with tasks required by
NAVFACINST 11010.45A and NAVFAC 11010/31. Category B SARs apply to projects or events with characteristics identified in paragraph 2c that in addition, have safety impacts or require approval above the span of control of the ICO: Electromagnetic Radiation Safety
(HERP/HERF/HERO); Electromagnetic Radiation Safety (EMI); Radiological Safety; and Small
Arms Range Safety. Firm will assist PWDs with this task as needed in response to staffing challenges.
(3) Non-Safety Site Approvals Category A Site Approval Requests (SAR) apply to site approval requests for facilities projects or events that are (1) consistent with the Installation Development
Plan (IDP); (2) do not have any safety impacts; (3) are compatible with existing/planned land uses and regulations; “and” or “or” (4) are temporary in duration. Site approval requests for those projects and events, including Air Shows, are initiated and tracked to completion by the Public
Works Department (PWD) using NAVFAC 11010/31, Part I. c. Category A SARs have the following major characteristics: (1) Repair and maintenance to a building or facility that have potential to impact a facility, facility system, or other mission’s operations, including work on those facilities by tenant organizations and other occupants. This work may include a repair to, replacement of, and modification to a facility system or component that may interfere with other work in the facility or adjacent building(s), or supporting utilities, that could lead to additional work or expenditure by NAVFAC; (2) Capital improvement and construction that adds new footprints and results in new or an addition to a Property Record Card; (3) Demolishes a facility;
(4) Changes the use (Category Code) or fundamentally alters the physical layout of a facility or land (area); (5) Sites or moves a relocatable; (6) Proposes using a site for an event not directly related to the primary mission/purpose of the owner/location; (7) Limited duration events (e.g.
Air Shows); and (8) Approved by the Installation Commanding Officer (ICO), or delegated authority. Firm will assist PWDs with this task as needed in response to staffing challenges.
(4) SRM Project DASN Packages include the following documents: (1) Command request letter to installation and installation endorsement of request (LRP); (2) 1391 – Signed (should be linked to
Project Dev in PAX); (3) 1391 Summary Sheet – CBM data must be complete and current with
SMIG ranking included; (4) SME certification; (5) Economic Analysis; (6) NEPA. NAVFAC
Washington can provide specific training for assembling these packages. Firm will assist PWDs with this task as needed in response to staffing challenges.
(5) Financial Improvement and Audit Remediation (FIAR) Audit Readiness (Existing &
Completeness) FIAR Methodology’s goal is to improve the Department’s financial and business management operations, allowing it to successfully produce “auditable” financial statements. The methodology mirrors auditors' methods for assessing financial statement accuracy by focusing on financial statement assertions and related Financial Reporting Objectives (FROs). Achieving audit readiness requires demonstrating sufficient evidence through tests of internal controls and key supporting documents (KSDs) to support these assertions and FROs. This involves assessing risks of material misstatement, testing the effectiveness of controls, and performing substantive tests. The FIAR Guidance provides a list of FROs mapped to assertions, derived from the GAO’s
Financial Audit Manual, to guide reporting entities in addressing relevant risks. Firm will assist
PWDs with performing Existing and Completeness checks and supporting audits as needed in response to staffing challenges.
(6) Real Estate Requirements Packages must include a signed request on command letterhead.
This request should detail the mission requirement, the type of real estate instrument needed (e.g., BFR), the amount and type of space, the proposed use, proposed start and end dates, and confirmation of available funds. Accompanying should be an Environmental Condition of
Property (ECP) report outlining the current and historical property conditions, especially regarding contamination, and a National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) document, such as a
Categorical Exclusion (CATEX). Maps, legal descriptions, photographs, and the Installation
Requirements Package, generated by the Activity/Public Works Department and endorsed by the
Installation Commanding Officer (ICO) to the Region and then CNIC or higher, are also required.
The ICO retains ownership of the requirement, while the Region Real Estate Program Manager facilitates REGCOM approval. Some Public Works Officers holds delegated “BY DIRECTION” authority for concurrence on real estate actions. For out-grant actions only, the ECP and NEPA compliance (if applicable) are necessary, along with considerations for administrative costs, including those for NAVFAC Washington services (appraisals, agreement preparation, legal counsel, and legal descriptions) and ECP/NEPA preparation by NAVFAC Washington EV Core.
Fair Market Value (FMV) will be determined per SECNAV Inst 11011.47D. Specifically for one-year licenses granted to non-profit organizations, charities, or services supporting public interest activities that pose minimal cost to the installation and are advantageous to the Department of the
Navy, the process follows these same guidelines. Firm will assist PWDs with these packages as needed in response to staffing challenges.
(7) Gap Analysis: Comparison of requirements and assets During IDP development a Site
Analysis is conducted to identify mission capability gaps. Capability Gaps are used to create the following outputs within the IDP: (1) Gap Analysis: Requirements List; Constraints Map;
Regulating Map; and Developable Area Map. This product requires the same gap analysis process to be applied to maintenance and repair functions managed by the Facility Management Division
(FMD) in support of developing their Maintenance Execution Plan (MEP), Maintenance Action
Plan (MAP) and Long Range Maintenance Plan (LRMP). The need for this capability is unlikely to change if the FMD moves to a CNIC command.
(8) FPD preparation (Partial), in coordination with Navy staff: Facility Planning Documents
(FPDs) are used to identify shortfalls or surpluses and document the actions needed to resolve them (maintained in iNFADS). FPDs document planning analyses and facility proposals, as noted in the Shore Facility Planning System Guidebook. The need for this capability is unlikely to change if the FMD moves to a CNIC command.
(9) Requirements Data Sheets replace the previous Installation/PWD DD1391. Key supporting document that explains and justifies a requirement for a mission need to be used by CNIC and
OPNAV to validate and prioritize requirements for programming decisions. The Installation
Work Induction Board inducts/authorizes an RDS when the requirement may be a project that is determined to be either a MILCON or Centrally Managed Program (CMP) Project.
(10) Alternative Construction Methods (ACM) Analysis* see NAVFAC FEC Core Support
Tasks ACM description for details. If Navy criteria changes, firm will be required to perform
ACM analyses to accompany DD1391s.
