An Analysis of Maintenance Service Contracting at Navy and Marine Corps Shore Activities.
Abstract
Historically, the Department of Defense (DOD) policy in construction and maintenance of station and base facilities has been to accomplish routine recurring maintenance with civil service employees and new construction and major work by contract. Prior to the war in Viet Nam, most stations and bases were staffed on this basis. The post-Viet Nam era has seen a steady decline in the number of Civil service employee working for DOD. This steady reduction has resulted in a need to accomplish by maintenance service contract larger and larger quantities of routine recurring base maintenance previously accomplished by the civil service employees. This study was undertaken to analyze the impact this growing utilization of maintenance service contract is having on the ability of the activity Base Maintenance or Public Works Officer to properly execute his responsibilities for satisfactory facilities maintenance. The problem question is as follows: What relationship if any exists between the need for an expanded contract administration organization and the degree of Public Works Officer satisfaction with maintenance service contractor performance at Marine Corps Air Station El Toro and other Navy and Marine Corps activities.
