General
1-1. Purpose
This pamphlet provides procedures and guidance to the Construction and Facilities Management Officer (CFMO) on
the management of State level public works activities. The pamphlet emphasizes the execution of the Facilities
Programs (FP), especially in the areas of work classification, project documentation, and project execution.
1-2. References
Required and related publications are listed in Appendix A. Refer to the Appendix if you are not familiar with a
publication cited in the basic text.
1-3. Explanation of Abbreviations and Terms
Abbreviations and special terms used in this pamphlet are explained in the glossary.
1-4. Further Guidance
Nearly all of the activities of the CFMO are governed by one of the following regulations:
a. NGB-AQ cooperative agreement directives are the CFMO’s prime reference on the receipt and use of Federal
funds. It discusses all areas of authorized activities and establishes certain reporting requirements.
b. NGR 420-10 discusses responsibilities, office organization and functions, project approval and execution, and
personnel.
c. NGR 415-5 establishes the requirements for building and executing a military construction program.
d. NGR 415-10 establishes authorizations for Army National Guard facilities construction.
Chapter 2
General Principles
2-1. Basis of Operation
a. The Army National Guard (ARNG) treats its real estate uniquely among the DoD components. All ARNG
facilities are owned by, leased for, or licensed to the States. As a result the States, and not the Federal government,
operate and maintain all ARNG facilities.
b. In turn, this means that to support the costs of operating and maintaining these facilities, the National Guard
Bureau (NGB) must transfer funds to the States through a cooperative agreement. The actual mechanism for the
States to provide certain services in support of the Federal mission of the ARNG to NGB specified standards is
Appendix 1 of the Master Cooperative Agreement. Details are in the agreements themselves and in NGB-AQ
cooperative agreement directives.
2-2. Facilities Inventory and Support Plan (FISP)
a. The FISP registers the real property inventory, to include the agreement support code, which dictates the level
of Federal reimbursement authorized for each real property facility.
b. Specifically, it is an electronic document to provide detailed information on all Federally/State owned, State
operated, ARNG facilities within each individual State, Commonwealth, or Territory. It details information on
structures, activities, locations, and lists other pertinent data required for Federal participation for support. It
identifies facilities, to include those that are eligible for support with Federal funds.
c. The rate of reimbursement to the State for all authorized charges listed in NGB-AQ cooperative agreement
directives, unless expressly stated otherwise, shall be based on the FISP support code for the facility generating the
expenditure.
(1) For example, employee, repair, supplies, equipment, utility, etc. costs directly and exclusively associated
with a facility authorized 75% support shall be reimbursed to the State Military Department 75%.
(2) Costs that are generated for facilities authorized several different support levels shall be reimbursed at a rate
that reflects the actual level of effort. For example, if the purchase of an item is intended to benefit 50,000 square feet
of 100% facilities, 30,000 square feet of 75% facilities, and 20,000 square feet of no support facilities, then the rate of
reimbursement to the State shall be 72.5%.
(3) Nothing shall preclude the State Military Department from requesting reimbursement at a rate less than what
it is authorized to request.
18 July 2003 NG Pam 420-10

d. The State Military Department shall not receive reimbursement for any costs for a facility unless NGB-ARI has
approved or will approve that facility for support on the FISP.
e. Changes to the FISP. The CFMO shall submit all additions, changes, or deletions to the FISP to NGB-ARI for
approval via the current NGB FISP software. Requests for additional land and/or already-constructed facilities will be
considered only when complete justification is submitted, including appropriate references to the current Real Property
Development Plan (RPDP). Requests to add new facilities shall also include documentation that the State holds fee
simple interest in the property or a lease interest of at least 25 years that may not be cancelled. If the property is on
Federally owned land, the State shall document that its license provides for at least a 25 year interest.
f. Annual review of the FISP. The CFMO or the Assistant United States Property and Fiscal Officer (USPFO) for
Real Property is responsible to conduct a comprehensive review of the FISP annually. This review shall be certified by
the CFMO and reviewed by the USPFO and forwarded to NGB-ARI not later than 30 March each year.
2-3. Key Principles of the Master Cooperative Agreement
a. Reimbursement authorized only if a facility is listed on the FISP and is authorized support.
b. State agrees to exercise its "best efforts" to operate and maintain FISP authorized facilities according to
"sound commercial practices."
c. State agrees to maintain facilities to "required minimum standards."
2-4. Flow of Reimbursement Actions
a. State incurs an expense.
b. At least monthly State submits request for reimbursement through the CFMO for the CFMO to verify and
recommend approval.
c. The CFMO reviews and certifies State requests for reimbursement and forwards these recommendations to
the USPFO for actual payment to the State as reimbursement.
2-5. Reimbursement Basics
a. The FISP is the key.
b. The specific piece of land, the specific portion of infrastructure, or the specific building or structure (or
section of building or structure) must be on the FISP and coded to receive support for the State to be able to request
reimbursement.
(1) In the case of construction, the resulting new facility(ies) or facility space must be eligible for support for
the State to able to request reimbursement for the construction project itself.
(2) This rule also applies to demolition projects. In the case of demolition projects that include facilities
coded for no support, the State may request that NGB-ARI approve these facilities for support. The support code
should be the last one under which it received support, the facility should have been constructed with Federal funds,
and the facility should be vacant or not used for more than five years for non-Federal purposes.
c. The State may request reimbursement for supported facilities on the FISP for leases, utility costs, sustainment,
restoration, and modernization projects, or operations and maintenance minor construction projects. Construction
projects include the acquisition of land to expand the size of training centers, provided that the land acquisition has
been approved in advance by NGB-ARI (or the USPFO in the case of an acquisition of less than 100 acres or
$100,000, whichever is greater).
d. Salaries, supplies, equipment, and services are fully reimbursable if they are for FISP supported facilities; or
if they are in support of Appendix 1 of the Master Cooperative Agreement and if they are part of the State's
responsibilities and if the sole benefit is to the State Military Department.
2-6. Reimbursement Rules
a. The FISP support code determines the maximum authorized rate of reimbursement for a particular facility. A
State may always request reimbursement at a lower level.
b. NGB-AQ cooperative agreement directives list and describe all current agreement support codes as listed
below. In case of conflict, NGB-AQ directives govern.
(1) 100% Federal Support.
(a) TSC – Training Centers, including authorized facilities at local training areas.
(b) TS1 - Preservation Maintenance only.

amount of first year lease costs may be spread over four years to do facility alteration with minor construction funds
and except that utility costs may be reimbursed. However, utility costs may be reimbursed only in the case of utilities
that are separately metered specifically for the leased space or that are separately billed based upon a pro-rata
distribution including only the space occupied by the recruiters.
(2) 75% Federal Support/25% State Support, unless specified differently below except that specified, approved
operations and maintenance minor construction projects are eligible for 100% Federal reimbursement.
(a) SC1 - Licensed readiness centers.
(b) SC5 - Lease Space (Non-readiness center): Utility costs only. Cost of lease reimbursed 100%.
(3) 50% Federal Support/50% State Support, unless specified differently below, except that specified, approved

(5) Federal support from other than NGB-ARI issued funds. (Amount of support is usually 100%, but that
amount may vary for certain programs.) Expenditures must be executed through NGB-ARI AMSCOs except that funds
provided by NGB-CD will normally be executed through their AMSCOs.
(a) T10 - National Guard youth program facilities, such as ChalleNGe: funded by NGB-AY.
(b) SC7 - Facilities used for special surface and aviation maintenance repair and rebuild programs, funded by
NGB-AVS, NGB-ARL, or NGB-ART.

and tracked vehicles or civil disturbance contingency equipment: funded by NGB-ARL.
(d) S10 - Facilities used in support of counter drug programs: funded by NGB-CD or other, non-ARNG
agencies.
c. Reimbursement for operations and maintenance construction. If a non-readiness center facility is on the FISP
(or will be approved to be on the FISP for support after the completion of construction) and does not have an
agreement support code of “NO,” the rate of reimbursement for construction is 100%. (Otherwise, the State is not
eligible for reimbursement.) Reimbursement, however, may not be for an area in excess of NGB criteria (as listed in
NG Pam 415-12). As an exception, the rate of reimbursement for construction at State-owned readiness centers on
the FISP, no matter what the agreement support code, is 75%, except that it is 100% in the following instances:
(1) Projects required to meet a change in Department of Defense construction criteria or standards related to
the execution of the Federal military mission assigned to the unit(s) assigned to the facility.
(2) Projects made necessary by the NGB directed conversion, redesignation, or reorganization of unit(s)
assigned to the facility .
(3) Projects for space jointly used by units of two or more reserve components of the armed forces.
d. Rates of Federal reimbursement for single use facilities are 100%, 75%, 50%, or 0%. Some facilities,
however, receive reimbursement from other than FP funds. Some facilities have multiple uses and different
reimbursement rates for separate parts of the facility.
e. In those cases where a facility, a Federally reimbursed State employee, or a purchase supports more than one
type of agreement support code, reduce the requested level of reimbursement accordingly. For example, if an
employee works on 20,000 square feet of 100% facilities, 40,000 square feet of 75% facilities, 30,000 square feet of
50% facilities, and 10,000 square feet of no support facilities, then the rate of reimbursement to the State shall be 65%.
f. NGB-AQ cooperative agreement directives list several exceptions to these rules. For example:
(1) Employees authorized for the Construction and Facilities Management Office may receive 100% of their
allowable costs reimbursed.
(2) Certain construction projects at State owned readiness centers are reimbursed at 100%, as listed in
paragraph 2-6c above.
(3) Approved Act of Nature damage repair projects are authorized as follows. The Federal share for damages to
those readiness centers coded under the FISP as SC1 or SC2 shall be 100 percent.
Federal Share State Share
Readiness Center 75% 25%
Non- Readiness Center 100% 0%
.
2-7. Components of the FP Program
a. Operations and Maintenance Minor Construction.
(1) Construction is the erection, installation, or assembly of a new facility; the relocation of a facility; the
complete replacement of an existing facility; or the addition, expansion, extension, alteration, or conversion (to a
new type use) of an existing facility. This includes equipment (but not fixed or moveable personal property)
installed and made a part of facilities and related site preparation, excavation, filling and landscaping or other land
improvements. It also includes increases in components of facilities for functional reasons and the extension of
utilities to areas not previously served.
(2) Operations and maintenance construction has a statutory limit of $750,000, except that limit increases to
$1,500,000 , if the project is “solely to correct a deficiency that is life-threatening, health-threatening, or safety-
threatening.”
(3) Operations and maintenance construction may be executed via contract or troop labor or in-house work
force.
b. Sustainment, restoration, and modernization.
NG Pam 420-10 18 July 2003
8
(1) Sustainment provides resources for maintenance and repair activities necessary to keep an inventory of
facilities in good working order. It includes regularly scheduled adjustments and inspections, preventive
maintenance tasks, and emergency response and service calls for minor repairs.
(a) It also includes major repairs or replacement of facility components (usually accomplished by contract)
that are expected to occur periodically throughout the life cycle of facilities. This work includes regular roof
replacement, refinishing of wall surfaces, repairing and replacement of heating and cooling systems, replacing tile
and carpeting, and similar types of work.
(b) It does not include mowing, soil stabilization, care of shrubs and plants, and similar activities.
(2) Restoration is the repair and replacement work necessary to restore facilities damaged by lack of
sustainment, excessive age, natural disaster, fire, accident, or other causes. It reduces the backlog of facilities rated
C-3 and C-4 on the Installation Status Report.
(a) Restoration may include overhauling, reprocessing, or replacing deteriorated component parts or
materials.
(b) Restoration is also the relocation or reconfiguration of land and building components and utility systems
and the upgrade of the same to current building and other codes.
(3) Modernization is the construction of new or alteration of existing facilities solely to implement new or
higher standards (including regulatory changes), to accommodate new functions (or change the purpose of a
facility), or to replace building components that typically last more than 50 years (such as foundations and structural
members).
(4) This work may be executed via in-house work force, contract, or troop labor.
(5) Federal reimbursement for this work at State-owned readiness centers is limited to those coded for
support and then only for the work space of Active/Guard/Reserve (AGR) personnel and Federal technicians and for
repairs to major building systems. Examples of the latter are heating, ventilating, air conditioning; boilers; roofs;
windows; overhead doors; utility systems, etc.
(6) Projects above $3 million must be forwarded to NGB-ARI for transmittal to the Assistant Secretary of the
Army (Installations and Environment) for approval.
c. Utilities. This includes either the operation of the following utility systems or the purchase of service: water,
waste water, electricity, central heating/cooling, and natural gas. It also includes rental charges for portable latrines and
communication charges exclusively in support of Appendix 1 of the Master Cooperative Agreement. The CFMO shall
seek reimbursement from users who request additional rented portable latrines beyond those normally set at training
centers.
d. Municipal Services. This includes purchase or operation of refuse services, indoor and outdoor pest control,
custodial services, snow/ice/sand removal, street sweeping services, and mowing, soil stabilization, care of shrubs and
plants, and similar activities.
e. Facilities Engineering Services
(1) Salaries and benefits of all Federally reimbursed State employees in the Construction and Facilities
Management Office or working elsewhere in the State Military Department but considered part of the Construction and
Facilities Management Office for Federal funding purposes in accordance with NGB-AQ cooperative agreement
directives.
(2) Information management systems for the Construction and Facilities Management Office.
(3) Contracts for inspection, construction management, and engineering management.
(4) Equipment and supplies to support the Federally reimbursed portion of the Construction and Facilities
Management Office.
(5) Housekeeping and cleaning supplies for the use of FP-PAS employees.
(6) Operational supplies (i.e., items consumed in support of Appendix 1 of the Master Cooperative Agreement).
(7) Purchase, repair, and rental of machines, tools, and equipment in support of Appendix 1 of the Master
Cooperative Agreement.
(8) Administration of and accountability for real property, including payment of fees to the Army Corps of
Engineers.
(9) Conduct of hydrology and other required site investigation and engineering studies, including required
Environmental Baseline Surveys (EBS) and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) for readiness center military
construction projects, but excluding studies associated with environmental restoration and the preparation of
environmental plans such as Stormwater Management Plans and Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures Plans.
It is the responsibility of the military construction project proponent to fund NEPA requirements, including the EBS.
DFAS Manual 37-100-XX expressly states that environmental funds cannot be used to fund NEPA unless it is part
18 July 2003 NG Pam 420-10
9
of an environmental project. This means that surface maintenance, aviation maintenance, and training must fund the
EBS and NEPA for military construction and SRM projects for which they are the proponent.
(10) Master planning, to include the production and update of the Real Property Development Plan and the
maintenance of geographic information system and other digitized engineering files.
(11) Airport use agreements.
f. Fire and emergency services.
g. Demolition not associated with construction
h. Leases
Chapter 3
Typical Organization
3-1. General
Each State differs in complexity and may be organized appropriately. Functionally, however, the Construction and
Facilities Management Office divides into the organization shown in Figure 3-1. However, if the State is organized
differently, the functions shown in the remainder of this chapter would shift accordingly. The CFMO exercises
technical oversight over any training center engineering activity within the State. Figure 3-1 follows, see next page.

hazardous waste management program, development of a working hazardous waste management plan, and directing
a program for inspecting and maintaining all hazardous waste accumulation areas at ARNG facilities.
g. Manages the environmental permit program which includes air, waste water discharge, pretreatment
discharge, drinking water, and hazardous waste storage, disposal, or transportation.
h. Reviews all environmentally related actions on work requests, real property actions, and proposed changes for
environmental impact.
i. Notifies Federal, State, and local agencies on matters dealing with legally binding reporting requirements.
j. Establishes procedures for State ARNG under developments/interagency (State and local agencies) for
coordination of land, facilities, environmental plans, and disagreements.
Chapter 4
Work Classification
4-1. General
a. Real property facility projects include sustainment, restoration, modernization, demolition, and similar
undertakings. The use of the terms sustainment, restoration, and modernization (SRM) is new, not readily applied in
the civilian facilities engineering business. SRM has replaced the term Real Property Maintenance (RPM).
(1) The CFMO should look on SRM as a hierarchy that progresses from sustainment to restoration to
modernization. Sustainment is the foundation effort for care and preservation of our facilities and includes those
activities (repair or maintenance) that one would fully expect to accomplish during the projected life of the facility.
Many of those sustainment activities become restoration activities (to restore deteriorated or damaged facilities) if
one of three factors is present: an accident occurred, an “Act of Nature” occurred, or damage/deterioration occurred
due to non-performance of sustainment activities. Modernization activities then encompass any action that
constructs or alters existing facilities solely (or predominantly
) to implement new or higher standards, to
accommodate new functions, or to replace building components that typically last more than 50 years.
(2) Maintenance, repair, and construction are activities that the CFMO does. Sustainment, restoration, and
modernization are programs that the CFMO administers.
(3) The advent of SRM has made the work classification of the CFMO much more complex.
(4) Because of statute, the CFMO must distinguish between construction and non-construction activities.
Because of regulation, the CFMO must distinguish between repair and non-repair activities. Both of these actions
require work classification.
(5) For financial and other reporting reasons, the CFMO must record program execution. That requires the
CFMO to be able to distinguish among sustainment, restoration, and modernization. That is also work
classification.
18 July 2003 NG Pam 420-10

(6) In other words, the CFMO must be able to translate the activities of maintenance, repair, and construction
into the programs of sustainment, restoration, and modernization.
(7) All maintenance activities (except mowing, soil stabilization, care of shrubs and plants, and similar
activities, which are municipal services) are sustainment. All construction is restoration or modernization.
However, repair may fall into any one of the three programs.

Maintenance Municipal Services
Maintenance Sustainment
Repair Sustainment
Repair Restoration

Construction Modernization
(8) In an attempt to ease the burden on the CFMO, this pamphlet discusses construction separately from the
rest of SRM. This in no way implies that it is a separate program.
(9) Demolition that occurs during and because of an SRM project is funded with SRM funds, is considered
part of the SRM project, and is included in any project/statutory limitations associated with the SRM project.
Demolition that is not associated with an SRM project is considered its own project, is documented on its own NGB
Form 420-R, and is funded from the demolition account. The demolition account may only be used for demolition
not associated with an SRM project. Although the definition of demolition used in this and other Army National
Guard facilities engineering and construction regulations and pamphlets is much more restrictive than that you may
find in the commercial sector, the Army National Guard definitions of demolition and construction apply.
(a) Changes to building structural members and removal or replacement of existing building components are
an integral part of an addition/alteration construction project, are accounted for on the NGB Form 420-R, and are
funded only from the operations and maintenance construction account.
(b) Complete razing of existing structures on the site of a military construction project are part of the site
preparation of that project, are documented on the NGB Form 420-R accordingly, and have their costs reimbursed at
the same rate as other site preparation costs from operations and maintenance construction account.
(c) Although the complete razing of existing structures is part of the construction project, the rebuilding of
those structures elsewhere is considered a separate project, unless those structures are completely functionally
interdependent with the new facility.
(d) It is absolutely critical that all demolition projects be fully coordinated well in advance of their execution
with all appropriate environmental staff, offices, and agencies, including the State Historical Preservation Office.
b. Real property facility projects constitute the basis for essentially all of a CFMO’s activities. The management
of real property facility projects is one of the most critical duties of the CFMO.
c. Because of the large amount of funds utilized in facilities engineering operations, the complexity of the work,
and the size of the workforce, the CFMO is constantly required to interpret various regulatory restrictions on the
utilization of funds and personnel. Many of these restrictions are in the form of statutory limitations enacted by the
Congress, while other restrictions are regulatory or administrative in nature.
d. The determination of the proper source of appropriated funds to use on a specific project is governed by
statutory and regulatory restraints and is subject to legal review. Violations of these rigid statutory and regulatory
limitations are a serious offense. Therefore a clear distinction must be made between non-construction SRM
projects and construction SRM projects.
e. Work classification definitions and rules apply to all facilities engineering work, regardless of who performs it
and how it is funded.
4-2. Anti-Deficiency Act
a. Misclassification of construction as another SRM activity, errors in defining construction projects, and
inappropriate applications of project change orders may result in a violation of the Anti-Deficiency Act, specifically
31 U.S.C. §§1301, 1341, 1501, 1502, and 1517. See DFAS-IN Regulation 37-1, Chapters 4 and 9, and DoD
7000.14-R, Volume 14, for details.
NG Pam 420-10 18 July 2003
14
b. There are statutory limits on the use of operations and maintenance funds for construction. Normally the limit
is $750,000. However, if the project is “solely to correct a deficiency that is life-threatening, health-threatening, or
safety-threatening,” the limit is $1,500,000. (See 10 U.S.C. §18233a(b).)
c. The definition of construction includes installed building equipment (real property equipment) which is
affixed and built into a facility as an integral part of the facility.
(1) See paragraph 5-6 for definitions of terms and examples of installed building equipment and other types
of equipment (i.e., personal property).
(2) The cost of installed building equipment and its installation is part of the construction cost for that
project. The same type of funds designated for the project must be used to purchase the equipment.
(3) Installed building equipment is not subject to the expense/investment threshold of $250,000. For further
details on this threshold, refer to DoD 7000.14-R, Volume 2A, para 010201.
(4) Installed building equipment is part of the funded cost of a construction project, increases the cost of the
project, and thus may push a project over the statutory limit.
(5) The rules against incremental construction also apply to the purchase of installed building equipment.
For example, if such equipment is required to make a facility complete and useable, then a CFMO may not delay
purchase of the equipment to remain within the statutory operations and maintenance construction limit.
(6) Failure to properly distinguish between installed building equipment and personal property may lead
either to violating the purpose of an appropriation or to exceeding an appropriation’s limits.
d. You may not increment or fragment construction for the purpose of circumventing statutory limitations. The
end result of the construction project must be a complete” and usable facility(ies) or a complete and usable
improvement to an existing facility. This also applies to land acquisitions, where you may not split your purchases
across fiscal years (unless the desired parcel(s) are not on the market).
e. Initial project contracts may be obligated against a fiscal year’s funds only if a valid State obligation of the
actual contract document takes place before the close of that Federal fiscal year. A change order against that
contract may be obligated against the funds of the fiscal year of the original contract only if the funds have not yet
expired (five years after the close of the fiscal year) and if the change order is within the scope of the original
contract. Otherwise, the change order must be charged against current year funds.
f. The Anti-Deficiency statute states that any officer or employee of the United States (including members of
the National Guard of the United States) who violates it is subject to appropriate administrative discipline, including
suspension from duty without pay or removal. Those convicted of a knowing and willful violation may be fined not
more than $5,000 or imprisoned for not more than two years, or both.
g. Anti-deficiency violations are serious and affect the Army National Guard’s credibility. Department of
Defense and Department of Army policy calls for disciplinary action in anti-deficiency violation cases. The fact that
a violation was not willful only means that it did not constitute a crime, not that it does not warrant disciplinary
action. Circumstances such as "a heavy workload at year-end" or an employee's "past exemplary record " generally
are relevant only in determining the appropriate level of discipline, not in determining whether discipline should be
imposed. CFMOs are encouraged to seek guidance from their USPFO and the Army Installations Division (NGB-
ARI) if they have questions regarding an action that could potentially result in an antideficiency violation..
4-3. Program Descriptions
a. Sustainment. Sustainment is the work required to maintain and preserve a real property facility (RPF) in such
condition that it may be effectively used for its designated functional purpose.
(1) Sustainment includes cyclic work done to prevent damage that would be more costly to restore than to
prevent. Sustainment includes work to sustain components. Examples include renewal of disposable filters,
painting, caulking, re-fastening loose siding and sealing bituminous pavements. Painting done in connection with
restoration or modernization work (i.e., as a result of the restoration/modernization project) is properly classified as
restoration or modernization.
(2) Sustainment also includes major repairs or replacement of facility components (usually accomplished by
contract) that are expected to occur periodically throughout the life cycle of facilities. This work includes regular
roof replacement, refinishing of wall surfaces, repairing and replacement of heating and cooling systems, replacing
tile and carpeting, and similar types of work.
b. Restoration. Restoration is work that brings an RPF to such condition that it may effectively be used for its
designated functional purpose. Restoration restores or replaces facilities damaged by lack of sustainment, excessive
age, natural disaster, fire, accident, or other causes.
(1) Restoration may be overhaul, reprocessing, or replacement of deteriorated component parts or materials.
18 July 2003 NG Pam 420-10
15
(2) Restoration corrects deficiencies in failed or failing components of existing facilities or systems to meet
current Army standards and codes where such work, for reasons of economy, should be done concurrently with
restoration of failed or failing components. Corrective work may involve incidental increases in quantities or
capacities.
(3) A utility system or component may be considered “failing” if it is energy inefficient or technologically
obsolete, provided:
(a) The utility system or component of such a system exists and is fact, energy inefficient or technologically
obsolete.
(b) The system/component to be replaced has been in service for a minimum of 3 years.
(c) The project is estimated to have a payback period of 10 years or less.
(4) Regardless of the above paragraph, a utility system is also “failing” if it is in violation of environmental
laws or regulations.
(5) Restoration may be major work (e.g., building interior gutting and replacement) required to restore a
generally deteriorated facility to such a condition that it may be effectively used for its designated purpose.
(a) Such an undertaking may include, under the classification of restoration, the relocation or reconfiguration
of utility systems and other building system components into arrangements to meet current standards and current
code requirements to the extent that the total area or population served by the utility system being replaced is not
increased. An increase in total area or population served is both the program of modernization and the activity of
construction and must conform to the statutory limits and requirements of construction.
(b) In case of failed or failing systems, such an undertaking may also incorporate additional components, if
based on good engineering practice and to meet current code requirements, to permit the efficient and safe use of the
replacement system.
(6) When a restoration project replaces a destroyed facility or one that has aged beyond its useful life or is
uneconomical to repair, it is the activity of construction and must conform to the statutory limits of construction.
c. Modernization. Modernization is the construction of new or the alteration of existing facilities solely to
implement new or higher standards (including regulatory changes), to accommodate new functions (or change the
purpose of a facility), or to replace building components that typically last more than 50 years (such as foundations
and structural members).
(1) With the exception of the replacement of building components that last more than 50 years, which is
repair, all of the program of modernization is the activity of construction. Construction is more explicitly discussed
in paragraph 4-3d below.
(2) Modernization includes increases in quantities of components for functional reasons and the extension of
utilities or protective systems to areas not previously served. This is the activity of construction, as is the increase in
exterior building dimensions.
(3) Complete replacement of an RPF is construction and may be restoration or modernization depending on
the purpose of the replacement. Replacement because the mission of the building has changed or it no longer meets
space requirements for existing missions (e.g., changes in personnel or equipment of assigned units) is
modernization. Replacement because the building has aged beyond its useful life is restoration.
d. Construction. (Note: Operations and Maintenance construction threshold is $750,000, except that it is
$1,500,000 if the project is “solely to correct a deficiency that is life-threatening, health-threatening, or safety-
threatening.”) Construction is a subset of the program “modernization.” However, to help the CFMO avoid
statutory problems, it is defined separately.
(1) The erection, installation, or assembly of a new facility.
(2) The addition, expansion, extension, alteration, conversion (in the sense of facility modification caused by
a change in facility utilization), or complete replacement of an existing facility.
(3) The relocation of a facility from one installation to another.
(4) Installed building equipment made a part of the facility.
(5) Related site preparation, excavation, filling, landscaping or other land improvements.
(6) Foundations, site work and utility work associated with the setup of relocatable buildings in accordance
with AR 420-18.
e. Act of Nature Damage. Damage to real property as a result of natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes,
other windstorms, hail, lightning, flooding, avalanches, mud slides, tidal waves, and earthquakes.
4-4. Work Classification Applications
a. All actions must be based upon good faith, sound judgement and conformance with all regulatory
requirements and limitations (e.g., 10 U.S.C. §§2801-2802, 10 U.S.C. §18233a(b), NGB-AQ cooperative agreement
NG Pam 420-10 18 July 2003
16
directives, and NGR 420-10). The decision making process should be supported by clear examples in the project
file. When doubt exists, the CFMO should request clarification from NGB-ARI.
b. The two principal considerations when performing work classification are:
(1) Strict adherence to the prohibition against incrementing or fragmenting construction for the purpose of
circumventing approval authority limitations.
(2) An honest assessment of what constitutes a “complete” and “usable” facility(ies) or a “complete” and
“usable” improvement to an existing facility.
(a) Example A. An airfield exists and is in use. There are concurrent requirements for a new control tower
and an addition to the hangar. Each is properly a separate project, since each is independently " complete and
usable" upon completion.
(b) Example B. A new airfield is to be constructed where none now exists. Assume the requirements for the
airfield consists of a control tower, hanger, landing strip and taxiways. Classification of each facility as a separate
project would be improper. While each may be " complete," such interrelated facilities are not, in fact,
independently "usable.”
(c) Example C. An administrative building exists and is in use. There are concurrent but unrelated alteration
requirements in the basement's mechanical room and in the headquarters area of the facility. Each is properly a
separate project, since each is independently " complete and usable" upon completion.
(d) Example D. A new commissary is to be established at an installation where none now exists. The
installation is planning on using three existing vacant collocated buildings and the surrounding paved area for
parking. The three buildings and parking area require restoration and modernization in order to convert the
buildings into a complete and usable commissary facility. Classification of each building as a separate project
would be improper. While each may be "complete," such interrelated facilities are not, in fact, independently "
usable" until all four components of the commissary are completed, i.e., the sales store, the dry storage, the cold
storage and the parking lot. In this case one modernization and one associated minor construction project should be
developed and approved for all work needed to establish a commissary.
c. An SRM project by nature is a "single undertaking" (i.e., an activity which would be readily and separately
identified as a logical task). A single undertaking could range from repairing one block in a sidewalk to all work
required to repair a building. Its scope is dependent upon need for accomplishment, economical contracting
practice, and good engineering judgment. Also, the scope may be limited by fund availability. However, when a
finite project is to be funded (phased) over a number of years the entire project must be approved at one time.
Project scope must be based on reason or logic that could not in any way be interpreted as intending to circumvent
dollar approval levels. Restoration and modernization projects are further defined as involving "a finite scope."
This could be restoring only the deteriorated wallboard in one building or restoring many items. If many items are
of equal priority in the same facility, and good engineering judgment indicates that they should be accomplished
simultaneously, they should be considered as a single undertaking of finite scope and therefore one project.
However, when sustainment, restoration, modernization, and minor construction are to be done at the same time,
sustainment, restoration, modernization (not construction), and minor construction work may be treated as four
separate projects.
d. An analysis of work classification and project scope is essential in determining project approval level and
adhering to statutory and regulatory requirements and limitations. The scope of a contract may include one or more
projects or one project may be divided into several contracts. Project approval levels do not apply insofar as the
packaging of contracts is concerned. A contract scope must be determined on the basis of good engineering
principles, operational and administrative considerations, and contracting practices that are in the best interest of the
government.
e. The availability of funds does not affect approval levels or what must be combined into a project.
Additionally the type or source of funds does not effect the work classification rules or project scope determinations;
however, approving officials must consider limitations when other than Operations and Maintenance National Guard
funds are being used. Similar type restoration or modernization work need not be combined into a single project or
a restoration or modernization project need not satisfy a total requirement. SRM projects that are single
undertakings, of finite scope, and/or satisfy specific requirements, may stand alone. Work must not, however be
divided into a number of projects solely to keep the projects within approval authority.
f. Restoration means that the facility or facility component has failed, or is in the stages of failing or is no longer
performing the functions for which it was designated. Restoration may sometimes include repair work that under
other circumstances would be considered as construction. For example, a partition relocated to provide clearance
for a replacement of a failed or failing heating system of different physical dimensions, would be properly classified
as repair, even if the wall itself did not need repair. Indeed, partitions relocated to provide a better interior
18 July 2003 NG Pam 420-10
17
arrangement would be the activity of repair and not construction, as long as the project does not add additional
square footage, create new facilities, or change the function use of the existing facility (i.e., the real property
category code of the facility).
g. Restoration also means something exists which needs to be repaired and that major upgrading does not
result. For example, replacing a 4-gallon fire extinguisher with an automatic sprinkler system is not restoration.
Neither is replacing a long deteriorating electrical extension cord with conductors in conduit considered restoration
or replacing a deteriorated ceiling-mounted light fixture with a chandelier. All are modernization and construction,
because they upgrade beyond current code requirements.
h. In the case of component replacement, the above does not require that repairs must be in kind nor does it
preclude the use of improved materials, equipment, methods or arrangements. As a matter of general policy, energy
and water saving materials should be used in restoration projects. An economic analysis should be a routine
decision making tool in the selection of materials or methods of SRM.
i. Standards change, and the Army National Guard will comply with current codes and practices. A broken or
failing 4-inch sewer line may be replaced with a 6-inch line if the latter size is the current minimum standard
permitted. However a replacement of a sewer line in good condition with a larger size to provide additional capacity
to serve a proposed new facility would be modernization and construction.
j. Complete replacement of a facility is construction. Partial replacement may be restoration as long as the
replaced components are failing or deteriorating and as long as the facility is not being completely replaced. For
work classification purposes, a Real Property Facility is a separate and individual building, structure, utility system
or other real property improvement identifiable in the three-digit Category Codes listed in DA Pam 415-28.
(1) Buildings. One enlisted personnel barracks (Category Code 721) represents a single RPF. A barracks
facility damaged by fire may be restored as repair if the foundation and walls still exist, and do not require total
replacement.
(2) Utilities. A single (physically or geographically identifiable) water supply, treatment, and storage facility
(Category Code 841) represents a single RPF. Items such as failing wells or water storage tanks may be completely
replaced as restoration and repair since they are considered component parts of a RPF.
(3) Surfaced Areas. All the real property improvements listed under the three digit category codes 851
(roads) or 852 (sidewalks and other pavement) are a single RPF. All contiguous airfield pavements, i.e., runways,
taxiways, aprons, category code 110, represents a single RPF. Failing bridges or airfield runways may be
completely replaced as restoration and repair since they are considered component parts of a RPF.
k. In the case of major facility restoration (e.g., interior gutting and removal), where building components, such
as partitions, windows, doors, or utilities need to be replaced, such work is restoration and repair even though
replacement items may be installed in a different location or configuration within the building than the original
components. This applies to the replacement of utilities or protective systems, when such systems are not extended
to areas within the building not previously served. However, an increase in quantities of building components, area
served by utilities or protective systems, or exterior building dimensions, is modernization and construction.
l. A utility system or utility system component may be considered failed or failing when that item is energy
inefficient, or technologically obsolete, has been in service for at least three years and the replacement has a savings
to investment ration (SIR) of 1.25 or greater and/or a payback of 10 years or less. Projects that may qualify under
technological obsolescence as restoration and repair include:
(1) Replacing T-12 fluorescent lamps (F40T12) and electromagnetic ballast with T-8 fluorescent lamps
(F32T8) and electronic ballast.
(2) Replacing motors with premium efficiency motors
(3) Replacing air conditioning/heat pumps with high SEER equipment
(4) Replacing toilets, faucets and shower heads with low-flow fixtures(1.6 gallons per flush, for toilets; 2.5
GPM for faucets and shower heads).
(5) Replacing boilers/furnaces with high efficiency boilers to include modular boiler systems and condensing
furnaces.
m. Energy Savings Performance Contracting (ESPC) Guidance. Although an ESPC contract is not in and of
itself SRM, the effect of executing such a contract will more than likely result in SRM.
(1) ESPC is a contracting procedure in which a private contractor evaluates, designs, finances, acquires,
installs and maintains energy savings equipment for an agency and receives compensation based upon the
performance of that equipment. The conditions of the contract determine the level of compensation to the
contractor, with the remainder of the savings retained by the agency. This type of contract provides an alternate
method of implementing energy savings projects when installation resources such as manpower, technical expertise
or funding are not available.
NG Pam 420-10 18 July 2003
18
(2) Determination of project viability is based upon such factors as utility rates and costs, availability of
conservation opportunities, projected building use requirements, ease of performance verification and support of the
contracting, engineering and legal personnel. A preliminary technical and economic analysis must be conducted to
determine if a proposed energy conservation measure has ESPC potential, which will be based on both the agency’s
ability to achieve a reduction in operating costs, and the contractor ability to obtain an acceptable return on
investment.
(3) Examples are: a lighting retrofit, replacing existing inefficient fixtures with high efficiency light fixtures.
The agency benefits from lower electrical usage and reduced maintenance. A large government chiller was old and
inefficient and the government could not afford to replace it within its existing budget. The contractor replaces the
chiller and the government pays the contractor for the chilled water produced by the chiller. The government
benefits from the cost advantage offered by the high efficiency unit and pays the contractor over time, avoiding the
large initial capital cost.
(4) Payments are generally out of the utilities accounts, not SRM accounts.
(5) This guidance applies to both Federal and State ESPC contracts.
n. Minor Constructions Prohibitions
(1) No project may be subdivided in order to reduce cost for the purpose of approval and circumventing
statutory limits. Phasing of construction on an existing facility or a new facility is not permissible, unless each
phase results in a complete and usable facility or the entire project is approved before the first phase begins and the
entire project falls under the statutory limit. “Phasing” is the process of breaking a complete project into sequential
tasks such as foundation, superstructure, and finish work. One “phase” is no good without the companion “phases”
as far as producing a complete and usable facility. Incremental construction on an existing facility is not
permissible. Incrementing is segmenting a complete project into usable “increments” as construction of an airfield
could be broken into increments of runway, taxiways, aprons, control tower, and hangers. Each are complete and
usable, but the total project is not complete until all increments are complete and the total requirement satisfied.
(2) Operations and Maintenance minor construction authority will not be used to begin or complete a major
military construction project that is contained in the annual Military Construction Appropriation.
(3) Project cost limitations in effect at the time of approval of an Operations and Maintenance minor
construction project remain effect throughout the life of the project. Any subsequent change in project cost
limitations can not be applied to previously approved minor construction projects. The project must be resubmitted
for approval.
(4) All work on a minor construction must be immediately halted as soon as it becomes apparent that the
projected total funded cost of a project will exceed the statutory limitation (currently $750,000, except that it is
$1,500,000 if the project is “solely to correct a deficiency that is life-threatening, health-threatening, or safety-
threatening”). At that point first contact your USPFO and then NGB-ARI for assistance.
4-5. Calculating Funded and Unfunded Project Costs
a. Funded and unfunded project costs are defined in NGR 420-10, paragraphs 5-4b and 5-4e. Funded costs are
those that determine statutory/approval limits. The sum of funded and unfunded costs for a project establishes the
amount at which the CFMO shall capitalize the project in the Federal real property files and the Federal real
property database and so enter it in “Facilities Center.”
b. These costs apply whether a project is a construction SRM project or a maintenance or repair SRM project.
c. Proper calculation of these costs is essential to ensure that a CFMO accurately capitalizes a project and
adheres to statutory and approval limits.
d. Because most projects, particularly the more substantial ones, will be executed via contract, the determination
of project costs are merely a matter of tracking the separate disbursement of funds against the design contract and
the construction SRM contract.
e. However, when the CFMO executes either the design or the construction SRM project in house, then he/she
must keep complete and thorough records.
(1) For most types of costs, this is a matter of tracking time sheets or bills for services.
(2) However, if a CFMO uses Federal government furnished equipment (most likely during a troop labor
project), then he/she must calculate the costs for maintenance and operation of government-owned equipment
(including organic troop unit equipment). To cost these items use the USPFO published reimbursement rate for the
use of such equipment by the State. If these rates do not exist, use the rates in Guard Knowledge Online (GKO)
under the Army Logistics Division Logistics Support Branch (the cost factors spreadsheet). This will provide you
the funded costs.
18 July 2003 NG Pam 420-10
19
(3) Depreciation of government-owned equipment is an unfunded cost. If the equipment is more than 8
years old, the unfunded cost is zero. If the equipment is 8 or fewer years old, then the unfunded cost for that piece
of equipment is 0.0342% times the acquisition price times the number of days the piece of equipment is used.
4-6. Real Property Improvements
a. Only certain projects are capitalized and the sum of their funded and unfunded costs entered into “Facilities
Center.”
b. For all practical purposes only the capitalized amounts of construction, modernization, and certain
sustainment projects are entered: all construction projects, and all sustainment and modernization projects of
$100,000 or more.
c. The critical question is whether the project constitutes a real property improvement. Only the costs for those
projects are entered in “Facilities Center.”
d. By definition, a real property improvement is a project that increases a real property asset’s square footage,
size, efficiency, or useful life. That is, if a replacement was undertaken to improve or expand the efficiency of an
asset that was in good working order, then the replacement is an improvement to be capitalized. When a facility or
facility component has failed, is in the incipient stages of failing or is no longer performing the functions for which
it was designated, it is not a capital improvement.
e. The above constitutes the requirement. In actuality, the CFMO should also be tracking in “Facilities Center”
at minimum all construction and all restoration projects.
Chapter 5
Work Classification Examples
5-1. General
a. All actions must be based on good faith, sound judgement, and conformance with all regulatory requirements
and limitations.
b. There are two principal considerations when performing work classification determinations.
(1) Strict adherence to the prohibitions against incrementing or fragmenting construction for the purpose of
circumventing approval authority limitations.
(2) An honest assessment of what constitutes a “complete” and “usable” facility(ies) or a “complete” and
“usable” improvement to existing facility(ies).
c. Look at any work classification decision regarding SRM assuming you received an operator's manual for the
facility. If the action you plan to take is in the Operator's Manual, it is sustainment. If the action is not in the
operator's manual, then it probably is restoration, provided the criteria for modernization have not been met.
d. This chapter contains a few specific examples of construction and other type SRM work. Even though the
restoration and modernization programs include both repair and construction components, all of the restoration
examples consist only of repair, and all of the modernization examples consist only of construction.
e. This chapter does not attempt to determine funding sources for projects. As a rule of thumb the examples are
for projects funded from the FP. If projects involve environmental compliance, then use environmental compliance
funds if the project's purpose is to meet new or more stringent legal environmental requirements or to bring a system
back into compliance if a regulatory agency has issued an enforcement action that requires corrective action.
Otherwise, use FP funds, even if along the way you incidentally resolve an environmental compliance issue.
5-2. Buildings & Roads
a. Sustainment.
(1) Buildings:
(a) Painting of building exterior or interior.
(b) Pointing of masonry joints and sealing masonry walls.
(c) Reroofing.
(d) Overlay of wood floors in kind, or overlaying with hardboard and resilient flooring or carpeting.
(e) Overlay of concrete floors with concrete topping, resinous floor coating, ceramic or quarry tile.
(f) Replacement of wood steps and platforms with concrete.
(g) Replacement of windows, doors, screens, siding, trim, skirting, stair treads and risers, railings, ladders,
fire escapes, and shelves.
(2) Roads and Railroads:

(a) Seal coat, asphalt rejuvenation and a single surface treatment of asphalt roads and hard stands.
(b) Cleaning and sealing of cracks and joints in pavements.
b. Restoration.
(1) Buildings. Restoration includes incidental interior rearrangements, including utilities, as long as the
project does not add additional square footage, create new facilities, or change the function use of the existing
facility (i.e., the real property category code of the facility).In general, deteriorated materials or unserviceable
surfaces may be replaced or overlaid with the same materials or current standard materials. This is restoration and
not sustainment provided that the replacement occurs because of a failure to maintain the facilities to a C-1 standard
whether for lack of funds or other reasons (such as a fire, accident, or Act of Nature damage). On the other hand, if
you execute such work when the original materials have reached the end of their useful life, the work is sustainment.
Restoration also includes interior rearrangements, including utilities, as long as the project does not add additional
square footage, create new faciliteis, or change the functional use of the existing facility (i.e., the real property
category code of the facility). In that case the work would be modernization.
(a) Replacement of wall linings that have deteriorated because of a failure to properly maintain them.
(b) Replacement of sheathing and framing that have deteriorated because of a failure to properly maintain
them.
(c) The replacement of failing wood trusses or installation of supplemental trusses, beams or columns to
augment the existing failing roof structural system. Note: Significant strengthening of structural systems,
specifically to increase the load carrying capacity beyond initial design capacity to accommodate changed usage, is
modernization.
(d) Installation of prefabricated siding over deteriorated siding or siding which will not economically retain
paint is restoration. For the latter, replacement of the siding must be cost effective with respect to painting over the
expected life of the facility. Installation of insulation, where none exists, to meet current criteria would be
considered restoration if it was accomplished in conjunction with residing or replacement of a wall liner, ceiling or
roof. In case of the wall liner or ceiling, these must exist and be in a failed or deteriorated condition, otherwise the
installation of only insulation, where none exists, is properly classified as construction. In a similar situation, even
though it is proven to be more cost effective to paint building interiors by first covering the unlined ceilings and
walls with gypsum board than to paint bare studded walls and exposed trusses, the installation of the gypsum board
ceiling and painting must be classified as modernization.
(e) When the restoration of a generally deteriorated building requires the replacement of partitions, such
replacements do not have to be reinstalled at the original location or in the same configuration to be considered
restoration. However, the increase in the amount of linear feet of partitions over the amount previously removed is
modernization.
(f) Replacing insulation that has become ineffective or hazardous is restoration. However, adding additional
insulation just to reduce energy costs is modernization.
(g) Replacing exhaust systems in indoor ranges with multiple air filters in series and pressure drop meters
across each filters (or any other project to comply with ventilation and air quality standards) is restoration.
(2) Roads and Railroads:
(a) Work necessary to restore a pavement to serve its designated purpose including replacement of
constituent materials (surface course, base course, sub-base, etc.) is restoration. Asphalt concrete overlays to repair
failed or failing pavements may be accomplished to accommodate accumulated normal growth and evolutions in
missions, equipment, and facilities; however an overlay that is used to convert unsurfaced roads or roads with only a
surface treatment to an asphalt or concrete surface is modernization. Asphalt concrete overlays to increase
pavement strength to accommodate a change in mission is modernization and may not be accomplished as
restoration. Restoration of a pavement following deterioration, damage, or failure, which comprises complete
reconstruction of the pavement facility (i.e., a complete road or parking lot, to include subgrade and subbase), is
modernization and construction and may not be accomplished as restoration and repair.
(b) Work necessary to repair failed or failing storm drainage systems including reshaping, seeding or sodding
ditches or channel slopes, and replacing damaged or deteriorated drainage structures is restoration and repair.
(c) Paving of the invert of an open drainage ditch, to increase hydraulic efficiency or as an erosion control
measure, is restoration. When paving sidewalls and the invert concurrently, the entire undertaking is classified as
modernization. Paving of sidewalls only is modernization.
c. Modernization.
(1) Buildings. Work pertaining to the conversion, addition, expansion, extension, alteration, or total
replacement of a building is classified as modernization.
18 July 2003 NG Pam 420-10
21
(a) New partitions, lining of unlined walls and ceilings, including the necessary painting and associated
insulation is modernization.
(b) Initial permanent installation of equipment, adding doors, windows, for functional reasons is
modernization. However, in case of conversions, restoration of the facility that would have been done regardless of
its functional use and irrespective of the conversion project, is classified as restoration.
(c) Adding extra insulation to reduce energy costs is modernization.
(d) Adding energy efficient windows or adding a reflective coating on the windows to reduce energy transfer
is modernization.
(e) Any energy project or project to improve energy efficiency is modernization, unless the building
component is already failing or has reached the end of its service life (in which case the project is restoration).
(2) Roads and Railroads:
(a) Work which will increase the base data of surfaced areas (widening, extending and enlarging) is
modernization; except, however, an increase in road, street or bridge lane width to meet current minimum standards
if accomplished incidental to major repair of the existing facility, is properly classified restoration.
(b) Installation of additional appurtenances, such as drainage structures, curbs, and combination curb and
gutters is modernization, except as follows: concrete curb and gutters which are added incidental to major street and
parking lot repair are classified as restoration of existing pavement edges and shoulder. Any extensions to storm
drainage systems to accommodate the curbs and gutters is classified as modernization.
5-3. Grounds
Any work that involves planting grass and other ground cover, flowers, shrubs, or trees, caring for these items, or
replacing them is considered a municipal service and not part of the sustainment, restoration, and modernization
program. The only exception is that landscaping that is an integral part of a construction project is considered
restoration or modernization, depending on the classification of the construction project.
a. Sustainment.
(1)
Upkeep of structural measures and non-vegetative surface treatments to control dust, erosion, and surface
water.
(2) Removal of sediment from erosion control structures, barriers or catchments and from constructed ranges
and real property facilities.
(3) Application and cleaning of crushed rock and gravel blankets and other measures to keep manmade
drainage systems in good order.
b. Restoration. Erosion control measures such as the replacement of rip-rap, gabion structures or small check
dams that have detiorated because of failure to properly maintain them is repair. However, the initial placement of
these items to prevent or contain erosion is modernization, and their day-to-day upkeep is sustainment.
c. Modernization.
(1) Extending subsurface or surface drainage systems to include additional drainage area is modernization.
(2) Creation of an erosion control structure for grade control and channel lining where no previously
constructed erosion control structure existed is modernization.
5-4. Utilities
a. Sustainment.
(1) Periodic replacement of filters, belts and brushes in heating, pumping, ventilation, air conditioning and
refrigeration systems.
(2) Flushing and cleaning of boilers
(3) Relamping
b. Restoration.
(1) Replacement of failed or failing light fixtures with fixtures which provide the correct level of
illumination prescribed by current Army standards or codes is restoration.
(2) Replacement of a failed or failing manual control system with an automatic state of the art control system
is still restoration.
(3) The replacement of a heating system that is failed or failing with a heat pump will be part restoration (for
heating) and part construction (for air-conditioning) if air-conditioning does not exist. Any sound engineering
method of establishing modernization and construction allocation of project costs between construction and non-
construction components may be used.
(4) Replacement of a failed or failing direct bury system with a shallow trench or overhead system is
restoration.
NG Pam 420-10 18 July 2003
22
c. Modernization.
(1) A fuel conversion on a serviceable furnace, boiler, or water heater, unless the existing equipment is
obsolete.
(2) Installation of new installed building equipment or systems, such as, kitchen equipment, space heating,
water heaters or plumbing systems.
(3) The alteration of any serviceable air-conditioning or ventilation system to improve or increase operating
characteristics.
(4) Upgrading lighting systems, whether for anti-terrorism/force protection or for energy efficiency.
(5) Adding energy efficient windows or adding a reflective coating on the windows to reduce energy
transfer.
(6) Any energy project or project to improve energy efficiency, unless the component is already failing or
has reached the end of its service life (in which case the project is restoration).
5-5. Asbestos
a. Restoration.
(1) If asbestos containing material (ACM) is in a failed or failing condition, abatement work is considered
restoration. This includes any required encapsulation.
(2) If ACM is not failed or failing by itself but is removed in connection with repairs to failed or failing
building components or systems, the asbestos abatement is considered an integral part of the restoration project and
is therefore restoration.
b. Modernization.
(1) If ACM is not failed or failing but is removed in connection with alteration or construction work, the
asbestos abatement is an integral part of the construction project and is therefore construction.
(2) If ACM is not failed or failing but is removed anyway as a matter of policy, such abatement is
construction.
5-6. Equipment
a. Installed Building Equipment (IBE). Installed building equipment (real property) are items that are affixed or
built into the facility and become an integral part of the facility. IBE is normally provided as a part of the
construction contract, its costs are included as a funded construction cost, and funds come from CFMO accounts.
Later additions or replacements of IBE are also construction and subject to statutory limits. IBE is not, however,
subject to the expense/investment threshold of $250,000. (For further details on this threshold, refer to DoD
7000.14-R, Volume 2A, para 010201.) Sustainment and restoration of IBE follows the classification guidance
contained in the previous paragraphs. Examples of IBE follow. They are not complete nor do they always apply.

nature that has been fixed in place or attached to real property, but which may be severed or removed from buildings
without destroying the usefulness of the facilities. Personal property (fixed) is subject to the expense/investment
threshold of $250,000 and is to be procured with non-construction Operations and Maintenance National Guard or

c. Personal Property (Moveable). Equipment that is movable and not affixed as an integral part of the facility is
generally accounted for as personal property rather than real property. Personal property (moveable) is subject to
the expense/investment threshold of $250,000 and is to be procured with non-construction Operations and
Maintenance National Guard or Other Procurement Army funds, as appropriate. (For further details on this
threshold, refer to DoD 7000.14-R, Volume 2A, para 010201.) The staff element which is the primary user of the
item shall fund the procurement of the item. Examples follow. They are not complete nor do they always apply.
Use common sense and let the definition rule.
(1) Automated data processing equipment, including personal computers, computer room equipment, visual
information system equipment, etc.
(2) Facsimile, teletype, and similar equipment items
(3) Fiber optic line drivers, etc. that are not exterior to the walls and not affixed to a building

(15) Training aids and equipment, including simulators
(16) Uninterruptible power supplies dedicated to personal property (fixed or moveable)
(17) Voice/data switching equipment, including line and trunk cards
(18) Wall clocks
d. Costs. Costs associated with installing personal property fixed and personal property moveable are “not
construction” and will not be funded as a construction cost. The cost of this equipment and the cost of its
procurement (including such items as transportation, packing, unpacking, assembly and attachment) are not
construction and are funded from the owning property book holder, using the same appropriation that purchased the
equipment when the installation is in an existing building or facility. That is, CFMO accounts fund these items only
when they are supportable under NGB-AQ cooperative agreement directives. However, when installed in new
facilities, the following items are construction and funded from the same appropriation funding the construction
project:
(1) Installation of required shielding for electromagnetic radiating devices. Structural changes including new
partitions related to installing shielding are construction.
(2) Installation of dedicated secondary utility work to connect the equipment to utility services within a
facility. This work lies between the utilities primary entry or source within the structure and the equipment to be
served.
(3) Installation of air conditioning under the following circumstances:
(a) To meet manufactures specifications for equipment temperature, humidity, particulate matter, and air
circulation.
(b) In clean rooms installed in non-air conditioned spaces or when the building central system cannot meet
the temperature and humidity requirements of the clean room operations.
(4) Installation of mechanical ventilation and separate exhaust systems when needed for personnel safety or
for the proper functioning of the equipment as required by the manufacture.
(5) Installation of conduit and boxes for an intrusion detection equipment.
(6) Installation of specialty fire extinguishing systems for rooms that contain substantial amounts of
automatic data processing equipment.
e. Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) System. A UPS system which occupies a specific area of a building and
is structurally, mechanically and electrically affixed as an integral part of that facility is classified as real property
and the system should be operated, maintained and repaired by the CFMO. A UPS which requires no structural
NG Pam 420-10 18 July 2003
26
changes and is not affixed or built into a facility and can be moved and relocated without destroying the usefulness
of the facility is classified as personal property.
5-7. Facility Replacement Value
a. A critical element requiring careful analysis on all SRM projects is the determination of the percentage of
total repair cost or repair plus alteration cost for a combined undertaking to replacement value for a new facility.
The replacement value of the affected facility generally being used is for a facility of the same type (permanent,
semi-permanent, or temporary) and identical size (i.e., same square footage) at current construction standards and
unit cost (with applicable adjustments) contained in the current DoD costing guide published by the Deputy
Undersecretary of Defense for Installations. This cost comparison is to be used to determine whether the project
exceeds 50 percent of the replacement value and must be submitted to NGB-ARI for approval. Note, in determining
replacement value, cost of demolition, asbestos removal, site work, and historical considerations may be included if
applicable.
b. TM 5-800-4 provides guidance and procedures for computing the replacement facility value. The following
supplementation guidance is provided for use in conjunction with TM 5-800-4 to ensure uniform application when
computing the replacement facility cost estimate.
(1) The replacement facility must be of the same square footage at current construction standards.
(2) Support costs will be based on the existing conditions at the site. Site cost can include utility work,
paving, landscaping, clearing and site preparation and any other work which is done outside the building’s five foot
line.
(3) The use of standard Supervision, Inspection, and Overhead (SIOH) and contingency factors should be
added.
(4) Additional cost for demolition and environmental restoration related to the siting of the project and any
historical documentation cost may be added.
(5) Additional cost for temporary accommodations during construction may be added.
Chapter 6
Project Documentation
6-1. The NGB Form 420-R
a. Funding Authority/Limitations.
(1) The NGB Form 420-R is utilized for all construction projects greater than $25,000 and up to the statutory
threshold of $750,000 (in Federal share) ($1,500,000 if “solely to correct a deficiency that is life-threatening, health-
threatening, or safety-threatening”). If a construction project is joint with a non-ARNG entity and complex, the
CFMO shall document the project on DD Forms 1390/1391 to better delineate scope and the appropriate cost share
of the parties to the construction.
(2) The NGB Form 420-R is utilized for all SRM projects (less construction) between $100,000 and
$3,000,000 except that if the project is joint with a non-ARNG entity and complex, the CFMO shall document the
project on DD Forms 1390/1391 to better delineate scope and the appropriate cost share of the parties to the
construction.
(3) The NGB Form 420-R is utilized for all demolition projects greater than $100,000 that are not associated
with construction. As an exception, however, an NGB Form 420-R is required for all demolition projects on
Federally owned land no matter what the project cost.
(4) The USPFO is the final approval authority for all projects up to these limits, except for land acquisition
projects as stated in paragraph 6-4 below and except that the CFMO may approve all construction projects costing
less than $25,000 and all SRM (less construction) and demolition projects costing less than $100,000. (As an
exception, however, the USPFO is the approval authority for all demolition projects on Federally owned land no
matter what the project cost.) No NGB Form 420-Rs are required for projects within CFMO approval authority
provided that the CFMO maintains an auditable trail, satisfactory to the USPFO, on those projects.
(5) The CFMO may document any complex project on DD Forms 1390/1391.
b. The NGB Form 420-R is utilized to track current and future FP projects and to serve as an audit trail for all
past projects. Currently “Facilities Center” is the database and report generator for the NGB Form 420-R. The form
is required for all projects (except those listed in paragraph 6-1a above), no matter the funding source or project
initiator, including troop construction projects. This includes all environmental activities that involve sustainment,
restoration, and modernization (including construction).
18 July 2003 NG Pam 420-10
27
c. Procedures.
(1) Projects are validated by the CFMO and then a NGB Form 420-R is initiated for every project within the
authority and limitation of the USPFO (except those listed in paragraph 6-1a above).
(2) Each project will be entered in “Facilities Center” for programming.
(3) In approving the NGB Form 420-R, the USPFO shall verify that proper staffing has taken place within
the State Military Department (to include environmental, safety, and occupational health), that the project complies
with NEPA, that the CFMO has signed the form, that the CFMO has cited proper authority for the project and its
scope, and that construction projects don’t result in buildings that exceed by more than 10% the overall requirements
for that facility type as shown on DA Forms 2369-2-R in the current Real Property Development Plan (unless the
CFMO has provided an explanation, which should reference NG Pam 415-12) or that otherwise exceed NGB criteria
as shown in NG Pam 415-12.
(4) Upon completion, the project completion date and final costs will be annotated on the NGB Form 420-R
and in “Facilities Center.” It is particularly important to enter capitalization costs accurately.
d. Instructions. For instructions on completing the NGB Form 420-R see Appendix C.
6-2. DD Forms 1390/1391
DD Forms 1390/1391 are required for repair projects over the USPFO’s approval authority of $3,000,000. They
must be submitted to NGB-ARI. DD Forms 1390/1391 are also required for complex projects that are joint with a
non-ARNG entity to better delineate scope and the appropriate cost share of the parties to the construction. The
USPFO conveys approval for the latter type projects via a memorandum back to the CFMO. In this case, the CFMO
shall sign the page that contains his/her name as the engineering point of contact for the project.
6-3. Act of Nature (AON) Damage Projects
a. AON damage projects are special types of repair or construction projects resulting from sudden, unexpected,
major damage. The TAG must demonstrate that a project meets all of these criteria to receive required NGB-ARI
approval that this constitutes an AON project and should receive an exception to the reimbursement rates authorized in
the FISP and additional funds. Just because damage occurred or was noticed at the same time a storm or flood was
taking place does not mean the proposed project is an AON project.
b. Due to the urgency of the requirements, execution shall be accomplished in the most expeditious manner.
Accordingly, AON damage projects may be funded from either the operations and maintenance or military construction
appropriations. Approval authority shall be according to that required for normal repair or construction projects
funded under the selected fund source. The justification for AON damage projects shall include:
(1) Statements certified by the CFMO that the projects are, in fact, restorations or replacements of facilities that
have been damaged by an AON.
(2) Statements certified by the CFMO that the scope is the minimum to satisfy current and projected missions.
(3) Statements certified by the CFMO that the quality of construction proposed is comparable with that
originally damaged or destroyed; allowing, however, for improved materials and equipment to conform with current
design practice and to minimize the possibility of future damage. It is essential that all AON damage project
submissions include the above statements in the justification.
(4) Newspaper clippings relative to the AON causing the damage or photographs of the damaged areas should
accompany the request for repairs or reconstruction.
(5) Requests shall be submitted within 30 calendar days of the incident to NGB-ARI.
6-4. Land Acquisition Projects
a. Land acquisition is a State responsibility, except that the State may request reimbursement for land acquisition
projects that expand the size of the training center. (As an exception to this authority, the State may not request
reimbursement if the purpose of the land acquisition is to procure land for readiness centers or for surface and air
logistics and maintenance facilities.)
b. The approval authority for such projects is NGB-ARI, except that the USPFO is the approval authority for
acquisition of less than 100 acres or $100,000, whichever is greater.
c. In addition to the NGB Form 420-R, the CFMO shall document the project on an enclosed Real Estate Action
Plan (as described in the ARNG Real Estate Manual) and both an NGB-ART approved Land Use Requirements Study
(LURS) and an NGB-ART approved Analysis of Alternatives Study (AAS). AR 210-21 provides guidance on
completion of both the LURS and the AAS.

Chapter 7
Contracting
7-1. General
This chapter provides a description for the Federal and State contracting procedures for FP projects. Projects that
are task orders under a Job Order Contract (or similar contract vehicle) are not as elaborate in procedure.
7-2. Federal Contracting
a. Normally military construction contracting for SRM projects at Army National Guard facilities on State
property is to be done by the State, using State procedures and State personnel. The USPFO may perform Federal
contracting on State property only if: (1) the State law authorizes the Federal government to perform Federal
contracting on State land and (2) the State Attorney General provides a written opinion to that effect. Unless your
State has this authorization and a written opinion from its State Attorney General, Federal contracting can only be
utilized on Federal land. However, the State is not required to use Federal contracting for projects on Federal land.
b. The most essential element of successful Federal contracting is the relationship between the CFMO and the
contracting officer. The contracting officer is the resident expert on the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR),
which outlines the guidelines and limitations for federal contracting.
c. The submission process for Federal contracting for maintenance/repair or construction projects is:
(1) Project Approval Form. This is a NGB Form 420-R or DD Forms 1390/1391.
(2) Detailed Independent Government Estimate (the estimated cost for the entire project). It must be signed
and dated by the person who prepared the estimate.
(3) Proposed Synopsis of the Project. This is a brief statement that describes the salient characteristics of the
project, type of construction, estimated square footage of the project, quantities, special nature of the work, HVAC
systems and any other information that would be necessary or helpful for a contractor to determine an interest in
bidding the project.
(4) Performance Period. This is the estimated number of days it should take the contractor to complete the
work from Notice to Proceed to final completion.
(5) Advertisement. If the project is to be acquired under an Invitation For Bid (IFB) and the estimated cost
of the project will exceed $25,000, the project must be synopsized in the Commerce Business Daily (CBD) at least
15 calendar days prior to issuing the formal solicitation (IFB).
(6) Acquisition Plan. Jointly develop the acquisition plan between the CFMO and the Contracting Officer.
This includes pricing, options, bid items, additive bid items, priority of additive bid items, contract type (Multiple
Award Task Order Contract, Job Order Contract, Invitation For Bid, Request For Proposal etc.).
(7) Plans and Specifications. Submit a copy of the plans and specifications for the project. (Development of
Division I of the specifications must be jointly reviewed and coordinated with the Contracting Officer early in the
project development/design phase.)
(8) Liquidated Damages. The estimate of liquidated damages that would be assessed against the contractor if
the contract were not completed within the required performance period. Consideration should be given to the cost
of any facilities that must be rented or leased on an extended period until the project is completed and any cost the
government would incur if the project is not completed with the performance period. This can not be blanket
amount but must be calculated for every project. The contracting office will normally have a liquidated damages
worksheet to calculate this amount.
(9) Special scheduling requirements (e.g., Critical Path Method of scheduling, if applicable).
(10) Consolidated list of material submittals (i.e., numerical list of materials identified by specification
section that the Government wants to approve prior to use on the project). It is customary that the Architect-
Engineer (A-E) prepares this list during the design process.
(11) Funding document (DA Form 3953) certifying that funds are available for the project and will be
committed to the project until bid opening report is submitted. (The document may not be required on Task Order
Contracts if funds are not currently available to the activity for that project. A written statement should be made to
the contracting officer that funds are not currently available for the project, but there is a high likelihood that funds
will become available by a certain date.)
18 July 2003 NG Pam 420-10

(12) Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative (COTR). Identify to the Contracting Officer who will
be the COTR on the project.
(13) Performance Requirements. Identify any special past performance requirements the contractor must
have in order to successfully perform the contract. (May not be applicable to all projects.)
(14) Single (Sole) Source Items. Written justification for a specified single source item(s) that are referenced
in the specifications and/or drawings.
(15) Material Qualifications. The Contracting Officer must be advised in writing of any submittal
requirements the construction contractor is required by the specifications to submit with his bid.
7-3. State Contracting
a. State contracting procedures vary from State to State. However several of the items required for Federal
contracting also apply in most States. Contact your State Contracting Officer for specific requirements.
b. The items normally required for State contracting are:
(1) Project approval. What authorizes you to contract for this construction, maintenance or repair project
(e.g. approved budget, legislative approval, Adjutant General approval, NGB Form 420-R and/or DD Forms
1390/91).
(2) Estimated project cost. This is a detailed government estimate of all project costs.
(3) Synopsis of the project. This is a statement about the characteristics of the project, the type of
construction or repair, estimated square footage or other quantities of the project, mechanical systems and any other
items that would necessary for a contractor to determine an interest in the project.
(4) Performance Period. The estimated number of days it should take the contractor to complete the work
from Notice to Proceed to final completion.
(5) Liquidated Damages. The estimated amount of liquidated damages that would be assessed against a
contractor if the contract is not completed within the performance period.
(6) Material Qualifications. Any material submittal requirements that must have approval for their use prior
to bid opening.
(7) Fund Certification. Certification that funding is available to bid and award a contract.
(8) Plans and Specifications. The contracting office may require a copy of the plans and specifications.
(9) Bid and Contract Requirements. Any special bid or contract requirements your State may require,
usually these items are found in the General Conditions or Supplemental General Conditions of the project. These
could include any mandatory Federal provisions for Federally-supported funded State contracts.
c. All State construction and repair contracts must include the applicable clauses from Article VIII of the Master
Cooperative Agreement. These clauses do not include any reference to the Davis-Bacon Act.
7-4. Contracting for Architect-Engineering Services
a. Types of Architect-Engineering (A-E) Services.
(1) Type A. Field surveys and investigations required to obtain data that is essential to the performance of
Type B services and that are not available from Federal or State government resources. These surveys and
investigations may include topographical surveys, soil borings, soils, chemical and mechanical surveys and
investigations, determination of utility locations and capacities, and similar fact-finding investigations, technical
studies concept cost estimates, or concept development studies.
(2) Type B. Services provide production of complete designs, including preliminary and final plans, outline
and final specifications, design analyses, and preliminary and final cost estimates.
(3) Type C. Provides construction supervision and inspection services, testing, shop drawing review, and
management services.
b. The CFMO shall determine whether to use in-house resources or to contract for A-E services for FP projects.
c. Type A and Type B A-E costs do not count against FP project limitations but are part of the total project cost
reported in “Facilities Center.” (Type C services are considered part of project execution and count against
regulatory and statutory project limitations.) They will be charged to the same Army Management Structure Code
(AMSCO) as the project. However, A-E services and studies associated with planning, site selection, and generic
(not specific) project requirements determination are not reported against a specific project in “Facilities Center” and
are charged to the appropriate Facilities Engineering Services AMSCO.
d. The CFMO may use the NGB Uniform Standards for the Payment of Architect-Engineering Services fee
schedule (See Appendix E), a State fee schedule, or a negotiated fixed fee contract. Normally, the fees for a State
fee schedule or a fixed fee contract should not exceed 3% for Type A and 3% for Type C services, and must not
NG Pam 420-10 18 July 2003
30
exceed 6% for Type B services. The percentages are calculated against the estimated project cost and apply no
matter what the source of funding or type of sustainment, restoration, or modernization project being executed.
e. CFMOs may use Federally contracted A-E services for projects on Federal land or they may use State
procedures. Firm Fixed Price and Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) are available through the USPFO
contracting office for use on Federal property.
f. The selection process for Federally contracted A-E services is similar for both Firm Fixed Price and IDIQ
contracts. See Appendix E for the Federal A-E selection process. The following items are required to be submitted
to the contracting officer:
(1) Statement of Work (SOW). A SOW is required to identify project requirements for A-E services. Use
the description of work from NGB Form 420-R or DD Forms 1390/91.
(2) Government Cost Estimate is a detailed cost estimate of A-E services. It must be prepared, dated and
signed by the CFMO and submitted to the contracting office.
(3) CBD Synopsis. The CBD synopsis is a critical event. It serves as the solicitation for A-E contract
services. As such, it must identify to the public what A-E services are needed. The CFMO must provide to the
contracting officer a brief general statement of all key elements to publish in the CBD for those elements to be
included in the resultant A-E service contract. These key elements include:
(a) Project title and a brief description of major facility features or project components sufficient to convey
the span of A-E special disciplines/skills that may be required. Do not use military abbreviations. (For an A-E IDIQ
solicitation, list the typical types of projects that are expected to be accomplished.)
(b) Location of project site. (For an A-E IDIQ solicitation, list the geographic area to which the solicitation
would apply.)
(c) Project construction cost estimate in which the contracting officer will publish the cost range of the
intended project. (For an A-E IDIQ solicitation, list task order funding limitations and number of option years.)
(d) Types of A-E services required, such as investigative Type A, design Type B, and construction
administration Type C. Code and criteria reviews may be included as an option. The option for Type C services
will not be exercised until the pertinent construction contract has been awarded.
(e) Funding document for the estimated A-E fees will be submitted to the contracting officer. This is a DA
Form 3953. The account classification will be from the appropriate FP AMSCO.
(f) Selection criteria. The CFMO will assist the contracting officer in tailoring A-E selection criteria in
accordance with the current FAR and its supplements (including the DoD supplement, DFARS) and provide, within
the context of the professional qualifications rating criteria, the A-E special disciplines considered important to the
project and list them in the order of importance they will be given in the A-E selection process.
(g) Contracts over $25,000. For each contract over $25,000, the contracting officer is required by FAR
36.604 to prepare an A-E performance evaluation report. Ordinarily, the evaluating official should be the person
responsible for monitoring contract performance. The CFMO is relied upon to provide contracting officer support to
this end. DFARS 236.604 requires a separate report by the contracting officer after the actual construction of the
project. The evaluation official should be the person most familiar with the A-E’s performance.
(h) A Criteria Review Conference with the selected A-E firm, the CFMO, the contracting officer, and the
user will be held prior to fee negotiation and contract award. This meeting will be conducted by the contracting
officer or CFMO to clarify for the A-E firm the design criteria in sufficient detail for the A-E to prepare a fee
proposal for doing the project, to understand the project scope and any special requirements that may not be
obvious, to explore peculiarities of the site or local conditions, and to establish a professional relationship and good
lines of communications among the A-E, contracting officer, and the CFMO. The conference also permits
discussion of design review and approval procedures and their impact on timely performance of work.
g. A-E Indefinite Delivery Services.
(1) Contracts may be established for one base year plus an additional 1-year option period. Contracts with up
to four additional option years require approval of the Office of the Principal Assistant Responsible for Contracting
(NGB-AQ).
(2) Where work load dictates, CFMOs may have more than one A-E Indefinite Delivery contract, preferably
overlapping. The contract shall support geographically separated units under a CFMO’s purview. When more than
one A-E IDIQ contract is active/available, the CFMO shall document by written memo to the contracting officer
which A-E IDIQ contractor is ranked #1 for a particular requirement. Among the considerations to be addressed in
the memo are:
(a) That the requirement is within scope of the IDIQ contract.
(b) That the most technically qualified IDIQ contractor is being chosen.
18 July 2003 NG Pam 420-10
31
(c) The volume of work the IDIQ contractor has (i.e., does the contractor have the capacity for this
requirement?)
(d) That the independent government estimate addresses travel cost for firm not near work site.
(e) That fees to be negotiated shall be based on level of effort by the A-E firm.
(3) Contracts for Federal A-E Services shall be issued by the USPFO. Dollar thresholds and maximum
dollar amounts per delivery order are established in the FAR and the National Guard Bureau supplement to the FAR.
Current amounts are $300,000 per delivery order and $1,500,000 total per year.
h. A-E IDIQ contracts, where projected workloads exist, should be established for a geographic area.
i. Changes to A-E Contracts. Requests for changes to A-E contracts shall be sent to the USPFO for approval,
along with justification and an estimate of additional A-E fees. When approved, notification of request for funding
action will be sent along with the approval to change the A-E’s contract. The contracting officer may not issue a
change order unless he has in his/her possession a DA Form 3953.
Chapter 8
Federally Reimbursed State Employees
8-1. General
a. The basis for determining the number and type of State employees authorized Federal reimbursement is the
Real Property Operations and Maintenance Personnel Allocation Standard (FP-PAS).
b. FP-PAS applies only to the FP, not to any other NGB program.
c. FP-PAS is the automated system developed by NGB and the States, Commonwealths, and Territories to
identify authorized manpower requirements for Federally reimbursed FP State or contract employees. It
standardizes the maximum number and types of employees required to provide the necessary manpower for
engineering, maintenance, and administrative functions at the Construction and Facilities Management Office,
training sites, and logistical facilities to support Army National Guard real property services and sustainment,
restoration, and modernization requirements.
d. FP-PAS is intended to provide authorizations for trades workers, management and supervision of trades
workers, management of contract services, and construction and facility management support services. FP-PAS is
not a replacement for Federal Technician requirements, which are inherently governmental and serve to provide for
Federal oversight of the Federal programs. It provides the States with a flexible, effective, and decentralized
personnel system to support those requirements as defined in the terms and conditions of Appendix 1 to the Master
Cooperative Agreement.
e. No FP-PAS position has funds directly linked to it. The Construction and Facilities Management Officer shall
allocate funds from within the FP Annual Funding Guidance among personnel and other requirements authorized
Federal reimbursement and determine which positions to fund and which positions to leave unfunded.
f. Environmental State employee manning will be determined through the Personnel Allocation Model provided by
NGB-ARE. States are authorized to hire at 100% of validated requirements.
8-2. Types of FP-PAS Employees
a. Trades Workers. Employees who perform skilled tasks associated with facility maintenance and repair.
b. Engineering Administrative Employees. Employees whose duties include, but are not limited to, supervision
and administration of Appendix 1 of the Master Cooperative Agreement, rental and service contracts, and
maintenance and repair and/or minor construction projects; or whose duties include, but are not limited to, custodial
services or supply, accounting, and administrative support of Appendix 1 of the Master Cooperative Agreement.
c. Construction and Facilities Management Office Employees. Employees whose duties in or in direct support
of the Construction and Facilities Management Office include, but are not limited to, the planning, coordinating,
budgeting, designing, programming, inspecting, scheduling, and clerical support for construction and maintenance
and repair projects throughout the State in support of Appendix 1 of the Master Cooperative Agreement.
d. Firefighters. Employees whose duties are the protection of life and real property from the dangers of fire.
8-3. Calculating Allowable Employees
a. Full-Time Equivalents. Personnel positions as validated by FP-PAS are Full-Time Equivalents (FTE) and
are based on a work year of 2,080 man-hours with a productive work year of 1,740 man-hours. It is the discretion of
the TAG as to how the positions and the people who fill them are utilized. However, the total number of reimbursed
FTE for each job title cannot exceed the number validated by FP-PAS for that job site.
NG Pam 420-10 18 July 2003
32
b. Part-time Employees. Part-time employees may be hired so long as the productive man-hour totals do not
exceed the authorized requirements. For example, the approved FP-PAS document authorizes 10 full-time
carpenters x 1,740 man-hours = 17,400 man hours per year. Eight (8) full-time carpenters hired equal 13,920 man-
hours. 17,400 minus 13,920 equal 3,480 man-hours available to hire temporary part-time, or seasonal carpenters for
the remainder of the current fiscal year.
c. The calculation of authorizations is an automated NGB-ARI program. Questions concerning formulas and
algorithms used for calculating authorizations should be forwarded to NGB-ARI.
8-4. Basics of Administration
a. There is a separate FP-PAS electronic document for each State training site, logistical facilities Statewide, and
the Construction and Facilities Management Office.
b. Each document establishes FTE limits for each authorized job title. As an exception, the document for the
Construction and Facilities Management Office sets overall limits for the office, and the CFMO allocates the
requirements by job title.
c. The CFMO submits FP-PAS concurrently with the annual State FP operating budget. Prior to submission, the
CFMO conducts an annual review of FP-PAS by verifying and, if necessary, modifying data in the automated
system.
d. NGB-ARI’s approval of this submission becomes the basis for determining the maximum FTEs by position
title and location.
e. A single person may be a fraction of an FTE. This can occur if the person is only a part-time employee, only
supports the FP for a small part of the year, or fills multiple job titles at one or more locations (or a single job title at
multiple locations).
f. For people who fill multiple job titles at one or more locations (or a single job title at multiple locations), the
rate of reimbursement is based on percentage of time spent working on 100% facilities plus percentage on 75%
facilities plus percentage on non-supported facilities.
g. In some States, Construction and Facilities Management Office FP-PAS employees may include the
following two groups of people. In both instances, they must be recorded in both FP-PAS and the annual FP budget
submission. These individuals may be reimbursed for training, travel, and other authorized activities in so far as
these activities support Appendix 1 of the Master Cooperative Agreement.
(1) Individuals who work in other parts of the State Military Department if they are part of the Centralized
Personnel Plan (as discussed in NGB-AQ cooperative agreement directives) and otherwise fit the criteria of
authorized FP-PAS. These are usually fractional FTEs.
(2) Individuals who normally are not Federally reimbursed but support Appendix 1 of the Master
Cooperative Agreement on an occasional basis, almost always for less than a month out of a year.
h. A State may choose one of three methods of compensating its FP-PAS employees: State civilian personnel
payments for salary and benefits of a like State civil service position in that geographical area; military technician
salary and benefits of an equivalent grade and series; or private sector employee salary and benefits for an equivalent
job rating in that geographic area.
8-5. Limitations on Use
a. The CFMO shall try to allocate no more than 55 percent of its Annual Funding Guidance (AFG) to employee
costs. The CFMO must receive a waiver from NGB-ARI to exceed this amount.
b. FP-PAS employees, in their status as FP-PAS employees, may not operate ranges, dining facilities, Non-
Commissioned Officers or Officers Clubs, communication facilities, billeting operations or any other activity or
facility that does not support the real property infrastructure.
8-6. List of FP-PAS Positions
At Appendix D you will find generic position descriptions for FP-PAS positions which may be allocated to the
Construction and Facilities Management Office (CFMO), training sites, and Statewide logistics facilities. These
position descriptions are not all-inclusive, but provide general guidance as to employee duties.

2. Project
Number - Use the project number “Facilities Center.”
3. Location
– Include the city and the State as listed in the FISP.
4. Installation
– Use the installation name and number from the FISP.
5. Criteria
– List the source document (including paragraph number) that authorizes you to execute the project. For
non-construction projects, be sure to include references to NGB-AQ cooperative agreement directives and the
Installation Status Report. Check the block only if the project will exceed the criteria in NG Pam 415-12 or will
exceed (for buildings only) by more than 10% the requirements shown on DA Forms 2369-2-R in the current Real
Property Development Plan. Justify any exceptions in block 11.
6. Program of the Project
– Check whether the project is for sustainment, restoration, modernization, or demolition
(as defined in the glossary). If more than one SRM category applies, check all that apply, and on the reverse of the
form, show the cost breakout.
7. Activity of the Project
– Check whether you will be doing maintenance, repair, construction, or demolition (not
associated with construction). If this is a land acquisition construction project, attach a copy of the Real Estate
Action Plan. If more than one activity applies, check all that apply, and on the reverse of the form, show the
breakout.
8. Facilities
Inventory and Support Plan (FISP) Data - Enter the appropriate FISP data for the facility. If the facility
is not existing or has not been included on the FISP, enter as much information as possible. This information is all
contained in the real property data base. Your real property clerk can provide help in getting this information.
When a project is for more than one installation (i.e., Armory Roof Repair - various locations) use the back of the
form to identify each installation’s FISP data. Also identify costs for each facility.
9. Project
Description - Describe the project in as much detail as required and in plain language. Include the scope
of the project, single line drawings, detailed cost estimate and any attachments necessary to clearly define the
project. Scope should include at a minimum the project area (SF, LF, CF, etc.); major components to include
electrical, mechanical and structural; and any specialty items. Use the reverse side or additional pages as necessary.
Remember, "You may understand and know the project but the person after you will not if it is not clearly
described."
10. Justification
- Why is the project needed? Will the project solve safety, environmental, and/or health problems?
Indicate where all construction projects over $100,000 and all restoration and modernization projects over $300,000
fit within the most current approved Real Property Development Plan for your State. For construction projects that
require an exception to criteria, cogently justify the exception. Extract from the plan to show that buildings you are
constructing do not exceed by more than 10% the requirements shown on DA Forms 2369-2-R in the current Real
Property Development Plan. If you are or are otherwise proposing an exception to criteria, attach an explanation,
which should include calculations from NG Pam 415-12.

maintenance construction there is only one AMSCO to be used (132G76.L1). For demolition not associated with
construction, there is also only one AMSCO to be used (132G93.00). Note: The Support Code under FISP DATA
guides you to the Federal share of the estimated cost.
14. The project qualifies/does not qualify for a categorical exclusion IAW AR 200-2 Environmental Effect of Army
Action. A Record of Environmental Consideration is not required/is enclosed. - The Environmental Protection
Specialist (EPS) determines and certifies whether or not the project meets the requirements to exclude it from
requiring a Record of Environmental Consideration (REC). If one is required, then the EPS prepares one and the
CFMO encloses it. In making his/her certification, the EPS lines through the two phrases that do not apply.
15. Supplemental Certification (Optional)
- The project manager can certify the project as completed or as valid.
However, in the case of projects funded with other than FP funds, including troop labor projects, then the block
becomes mandatory and the appropriate funding official must sign in the block (e.g., EPS, Plans, Operations and
Training Officer, etc.)
16. Certification
- CFMO reviews and certifies that the project requirements and all entries are complete and
accurate.
17. USPFO Approval

If your contacting office does not have a Federal indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) A-E contract,
suggest you have them solicit for one or add all your Federal facilities to the synopsis for the Air National Guard
IDIQ in your State.
F-4. CFMO and Evaluation Board Requirements
a. The CFMO must develop a detailed Government Estimate for A-E Services and selection qualifications for
the project. These qualifications must include the qualifications required by FAR 36.602-1 and indicated on the
work sheet, plus special project specific qualifications, such as size and expertise of staff, special design and
conceptual experience, etc. The CFMO will determine the importance of each element as it applies to the project.
b. If the Government Estimate for A-E Services is below $2,500, the CFMO may select the most qualified firm
from the available A-E qualification forms (SF 254 and SF 255) on file in the CFMO’s office.
c. If the Government Estimate for A-E Services is between $2,500 and $25,000, the A-E Evaluation Board or
the board chair may select the most qualified firm from SF 254 and SF 255 A-E qualification forms on file.
d. If the Government Estimate for A-E Services exceeds $25,000, the CFMO shall prepare a draft synopsis
describing the salient characteristics of the project and of the A-E services, as required by the contracting officer, in
preparation for the synopsis to be published in the CBD.
e. If the Government Estimate for A-E Services exceeds $100,000 (including phases and options) and after
publication of the synopsis notice and receipt of the submittal packages from the contracting officer; the CFMO may
approve the selection process to be performed by the chairperson of the board, if the evaluation board decides that
formal action is not necessary in connection with a particular selection. The following procedures shall be followed:
(1) The chairperson of the evaluation board shall perform the functions specified in FAR 36.602-3.
(2) The CFMO shall review the report and approve it or return it to the chairperson for appropriate revision.
(3) Upon receipt of an approved report, the CFMO shall following the guidance contained in FAR 36.602-4
and furnish the contracting officer a copy of the report, which will serve as an authorization for the contracting
officer to commence negotiations in accordance with FAR 36.606.
F-5. A-E Evaluation Board Formation and Composition
a. The CFMO shall select and have placed on orders at least three board members who, collectively, have
experience in architecture, engineering, construction, and Government and related acquisition matters.
(1) Members shall be appointed from among highly qualified professional employees of the agency or other
agencies, and private practitioners of architecture, engineering, or related professions.

resources within the unit.
b. The primary factor in A-E selection is the determination of the most highly qualified firm.
18 July 2003 NG Pam 420-10
59
F-6. Functioning of the A-E Evaluation Board
a. An evaluation board shall not be convened prior to notification by the USPFO that proper notice/advertising
time in the CBD has elapsed.
b. The evaluation board shall be convened by the CFMO on those projects whose total design fee is expected to
be in excess of $2,500.
c. A pre-evaluation board may be used to identify to the evaluation board the qualified firms that have a
reasonable chance of being considered as most highly qualified by the selection board. Members who serve on the
pre-evaluation board may also serve on the final evaluation board.
d. A-E Firms considered by the evaluation board shall be those responding to the notice/advertisement initiated
by the USPFO and having a current SF 254 and SF 255 on file with the CFMO.
e. Items for consideration in evaluating firms shall only be those listed in the CBD and ranked in the same order
as in the advertisement.
f. Evaluation board members will evaluate firms on an evaluation work sheet using criteria in paragraph F-7
below.
g. Board members shall tabulate their evaluation scores totaling each A-E's points and shall summarize their
findings in ranking form 1, 2, 3, etc. Their rankings will then be tabulated to make the final evaluation in rank order
of firms. Documentation of the tabulation of the ranking shall be forwarded to the CFMO for final selection in
accordance with FAR 36.602-4.
F-7. Criteria for A-E evaluation
a. The board(s) will evaluate the A-E firms using the criteria established in the FAR and supplements thereto.
b. The assigned values for each rating factor should be carefully selected for each project prior to advertisement
(e.g., paving project will require different expertise than a building; a new building design will require fewer field
trips than an alteration project). Thus, the importance of the firm's location will be more important for an alteration
project. The assigned values may vary from 0-3 to 0-10 points. Rating factors should be listed in the CBD in order
of importance. In the absence of specific information, the rates on pre-evaluation board will rate within mid-range.
c. Criteria should be established for each rating factor. The following is a sample criteria only. It is used to aid
the evaluator in the application of the selection criteria.
(1) The various assigned rating values have been broken down into Low Range, Mid Range, and High Range
as follows:
Rating Range

0-7 0-2 3-5 6-7
0-6 0-2 3-4 5-6
0-3 0-1 2 3
(2) The following criteria have been established to guide the evaluator in assessing each rating factor. Since
the assigned rating values for each factor vary from project to project, the rating values have been stated in ranges
rather than in specific points values.

Budget Organization and Tracking System (BOATS)
Software used by the State to prepare, submit, receive NGB-ARI approval of, and track the execution of their FP
budget.
Cabling
Includes cable and the fittings, connectors, terminal strips, and similar devices needed to install cable. Cabling also
includes wired-in equipment such as multiplexers and interface devices built into the system up to the outlet device
plate when required to complete the transmission path to the user outlet. Cabling does not include servers, routers,
brouters, gateways, and other user-specific equipment associated with local area networks and wide-area networks.
Plug-in and other devices and wiring external to the user outlet are also not cabling.
Canceled Funds
An appropriation, five years after the entire period of availability for its obligation has ended. In the case of almost
all operations and maintenance appropriations this is at midnight on 30 September five years after the fiscal year
named on the appropriation. At this time the appropriation shall be closed and any remaining balance (whether
obligated or unobligated) in the account shall be canceled and thereafter shall not be available for obligation or
expenditure for any purpose.
Construction
The erection, installation, or assembly of a new facility; the relocation of a facility; the complete replacement of an
existing facility; or the addition, expansion, extension, alteration, or conversion (to a new type use) of an existing
facility. This includes installed building equipment and related site preparation, excavation, filling and landscaping
or other land improvements. It also includes increases in components of facilities for functional reasons when a
facility is not being repaired and the components are not required to meet current standards, and it includes the
extension of utilities to areas not previously served. Construction is an activity that may be a part of either the
restoration or modernization program.
Demolition
The complete dismantling, tearing down, razing, wrecking, or burning of a fixed building or facility, to include the
removal of foundations, utilities, and all debris, the backfill of all areas excavated by the work to maintain site
grades and contours, and the reseeding of the property.
Expired Funds
An appropriation, when balances no longer are available for incurring new obligations, because the time available
for making such obligations has expired. In the case of almost all operations and maintenance appropriations this is
at midnight on 30 September of the fiscal year named on the appropriation. At this time the appropriation is only
available for making obligations within the scope of the contracts in force at the time the appropriation expired.

Facility
A separate and individual building, structure, utility system, or other real property improvement identifiable with a
category code from DA Pam 415-28. Supporting elements for structures, such as sidewalks, fire hydrants, gasoline
and diesel fuel dispensing systems, flammable materials buildings, roads, fencing, and hard stand, are all separate
facilities.
Facilities Center
A customized version of a commercial off the shelf computer integrated facilities management system. It serves as
the ARNG’s information management system used by NGB and the CFMOs to manage real property assets from
cradle to grave and to track and maintain all facilities related data, including project data.
Facilities Inventory and Support Plan (FISP)
An electronic document to provide detailed information on all Federally/State owned, State operated, ARNG
facilities within each individual State, Commonwealth, or Territory. It details information on structures, activities,
locations, and lists other pertinent data required for Federal participation for support. It identifies facilities, to
include those that are eligible for support with Federal funds.
Installation
An aggregation of contiguous or near contiguous, common mission-supporting real property holdings under the
jurisdiction of the State, the District of Columbia, territory, or commonwealth controlled by and at which an ARNG
unit or activity is permanently assigned. For the purpose of Installation Status Report reporting and the calculation
of programming inventory, each State shall be considered a separate installation. However, for real property
inventory reporting, each entity with a FISP number will be reported as an installation.
Installed Building Equipment (IBE)
Installed building equipment (real property) are items that are affixed or built into the facility and become an
integral part of the facility.
Maintenance
The work required to preserve and maintain a piece of real property or a real property facility in such condition that
it may be effectively used for its designated functional purpose. It includes work done to sustain existing
components (such as renewal of disposable filers, painting, caulking, refastening loose siding, and sealing asphalt
pavement) and cyclic work done to prevent damage which would be more costly to restore than to prevent.
Maintenance is an activity that is part of the sustainment program.
Modernization
The construction of new or alteration of existing facilities solely to implement new or higher standards (including
regulatory changes), to accommodate new functions (or change the purpose of a facility), or to replace building
components that typically last more than 50 years (such as foundations and structural members). Modernization is a
program, and as such must be distinguished from the activities that make it up: repair and construction.
Personal Property (Fixed)
Capital equipment and other equipment of a movable nature that has been fixed in place or attached to real property,
but which may be severed or removed from buildings without destroying the usefulness of the facilities.
Personal Property (Moveable)
Equipment that is movable and not affixed as an integral part of the facility.
Pre-Wired Workstations
A workstation which should include posts, panels, partitions, wiring for electricity and communications, task
lighting, and partition-hung components to support individual and group efforts. Both panel-to-panel and post-to-
panel systems are acceptable. Additional system components are ambient lighting and partition supported files. A
pre-wired workstation should, at a minimum, provide for the following functions: (1) An acoustically treated
enclosure defining the limits of an individual or a shared use workstation. (2) Adequate work surfaces to
accommodate the individual's equipment, writing, and work layout needs. (3) Storage space for individual files and
supplies. (4) Task lighting and electrical and communications outlets to support the individual's equipment. Pre-

wired workstations do not include movable furniture and furnishings such as chairs, stand alone file cabinets, coat
hooks or racks, name tags, in and out file trays, and other similar accouterments.
Primary Facility
Main facility or facility complex required to perform an essential mission or function.
Real Property Development Plan (RPDP)
The constantly updated end product of the State’s real property master planning process. It identifies the Adjutant
General’s goals and objectives for development and operation of the State and its supported installations and shall
identify the major work to be done to real property to ensure continued mission performance. It becomes the basis
to support acquisition, management, accountability, and disposal of real property and serves as a framework for
allocating available sustainment, restoration, and modernization resources and to support requested military
construction projects.
Real Property Improvement
An improvement which increases a real property asset’s square footage, size, efficiency, or useful life. That is, if a
replacement was undertaken to improve or expand the efficiency of an asset that was in good working order, then
the replacement is a construction activity that needs to be capitalized. When a facility or facility component has
failed, is in the incipient stages of failing or is no longer performing the functions for which it was designated, it is
considered a repair activity and should not be capitalized.
Real Property Operations and Maintenance
That part of the facilities program that consists of the following activities: sustainment, restoration, and
modernization; operations and maintenance minor construction; demolition not associated with construction; leases;
identifiable incremental costs associated with facility activities; utilities; municipal services; facilities engineering
services; and fire and emergency services.
Repair
The restoration of a piece of real property or a real property facility to such condition that it may effectively be used
for its designated functional purpose. Repair may be to overhaul, reprocess, or replace deteriorated component parts
or materials. It may also include the relocation or reconfiguration of land and building components and utility
systems and the upgrade of the same to current building and other codes. Repair is an activity that may be a part of
the sustainment, restoration, or modernization programs.
Restoration
Repair and replacement work to restore facilities damaged by lack of sustainment, excessive age, natural disaster,
fire, accident, or other causes. It reduces the backlog of facilities rated C-3 and C-4 on the Installation Status
Report. Restoration may be to overhaul, reprocess, or replace deteriorated component parts or materials to current
industry standards. Restoration is also the relocation or reconfiguration of land and building components and utility
systems and the upgrade of the same to current building and other codes. Restoration is a program, and as such must
be distinguished from the activities that make it up: repair and construction.
Sustainment
Maintenance and repair activities necessary to keep an inventory of facilities in good working order. It includes
regularly scheduled adjustments and inspections, preventive maintenance tasks, and emergency response and service
calls for minor repairs. It also includes major repairs or replacement of facility components (usually accomplished
by contract) that are expected to occur periodically throughout the life cycle of facilities. This work includes regular
roof replacement, refinishing of wall surfaces, repairing and replacement of heating and cooling systems, replacing
tile and carpeting, and similar types of work. It does not include landscaping, mowing, soil stabilization, and similar
activities, which are municipal services. The activities of maintenance and repair make up the program sustainment.
