Partnerships & Privatization

A success story!

• Housing: Residential Communities Initiative (RCI)

• Lodging: Privatization of Army Lodging (PAL)

• Utilities: Utility Privatization

• Transitioning Soldiers: Dept of Labor & Veterans Affairs

• Survivor Assistance: TAPS, Gold Star Mothers

• Municipal Services: Monterey CA, Sierra Vista AZ

Critical components of our vision for Installations 2020

Why Municipal Partnerships?

• Potential cost savings to government and partner• Improved city services without increased tax burden• Stability for government; not changing contractor every few

years• Leverage core competencies vice duplication of capabilities• Excess capacity may exist in municipality• Strengthens bonds between community and military installation• “Strategic Value” for community • “Success breeds success”

Must be willing to engage head on and fight through every obstacle. The wins are worth the effort!

Fort Huachuca / Sierra Vista AZ Municipal Service Partnership Pilot Program

• Initial plan was City operating the on-post library as “branch” of city library system

• Army spent $392K per year for post library—to deliver substandard library support

• Initial cost to meet City standards $813K, annual operating costs $428K

• City library is exceptional; Post library is sub-standard.• 80% of Fort personnel live in local community.

This could have been the end of discussion as not economically viable to city to participate, but….

• Could Army and City partner to provide library services? • Use the city first class library and close on post library. • Army provides $60K a year to city to support unique Army

requirements. • City library provides library services to city and Fort residents

Result: $350K per year savings for Army and BETTER SERVICE for soldiers and families!

First city/military partnership for library services in DoD!!!

A New Idea!

Fort Huachuca / Sierra Vista AZ Municipal Service Partnership Pilot Program

Lessons Learned

• Legislative authority is powerful• Treat project development as a discussion between

partners, not a “contract negotiation”• Must understand rate structure to include salaries,

overhead, benefits, and equipment in “pricing” services• Bring contracting and lawyers in early as part of team; city

and govt.• Understand Service Contract Act implications• Must dedicate staff/time to work partnership issues• Municipality and Govt must have “advocate” spearheading

issues, without “buy-in” it won’t happen• Change will create resistance--- plan for it

Must be Commander’s and Mayor/Manager’s priority! COL Jonathan Hunter, IMCOM-SE/jonathan.hunter@us.army.mil/404-464-0760
