"Supporting Readiness and Global Projection"

A-76 study gets local endorsement

MARINE CORPS BASE HAWAII KANEOHE BAY, Hawaii -- With the stroke of a pen, Col. John A. LeMoine, deputy commander of Marine Corps Base Hawaii, signed the Management Plan of the Congressional A-76 study Friday.

The signature endorses the hard work the A-76 team has done for the past year.

The Management Plan is a procurement - sensitive document that contains the Marine Corps plan on how the work will be performed at the Facilities Maintenance and Motor Transportation functions.

"It feels real good to have this done, because this was the most difficult part of the process," said Ken Stephens, commercial activities manager. "It's been a lot of hard work with productivity studies and data collection of workloads and cost."

With LeMoine's signature, the document will be forwarded to the Naval Audit Service for review. That process should only take about five weeks to review and certify, according to Stephens.

Once it gains NAS approval, it becomes an official government document and represents the government's bid against which contractors must compete.

By January 29, 2002 all commercial bids will need to be turned, and it will be up to the Technical Evaluation Board to compare those bids against the Management Plan.

On Sept. 2, 2002, the Source Selection Authority will decide whether the government or a contractor wins the bid.

After The SSA makes its decision, the appeals process begins, and there are always appeals filed, according to Stephens.

The appeals process will be completed by November 15, 2002 and the result of that process will determine once and for all who wins the bid.

"You cannot buy loyalty, and our civil service workers have demonstrated continued and steadfast dedication to the missions of MCBH," assured Stephens. "Everyone has worked really hard to put together an in-house bid that is highly competitive."
