Total Contract Maintenance for Mannheim Family Housing.

Abstract

This report documents a U.S. Army Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (CERL) evaluation of a family housing maintenance contract used as a test case by the U.S. Army Installation Support Activity, Europe (USAISAE). the total maintenance contract for Benjamin Franklin Village, Mannheim, Germany was compared to Patrick Henry and Mark Twain Villages at Heidelberg, Germany resource costs. The wrok accomplished by the contractors was used as a common basis for comparison. A direct cross-community comparison of Family Housing Maintenance Account (FHMA) expenditures was not possible because all service costs could not be identified. The results of the CERL analysis indicate that contracting is feasible and that the FY78 contracting cost savings in the Mannheim/Heidelberg comparisons was 4.2%. It was determined that the Government must have both a good contract document and adequate monitoring of contract performance to realize maintenance cost savings. (Author)
