Inter-Service Support Agreements at Fort Detrick
Abstract
The U.S. Army Garrison at Fort Derrick, MD, provides base support services to 36 tenant organizations. The garrison seeks to establish a fair and accurate basis to charge tenants for the services it provides. The garrison documents its services through inter service support agreements. Before establishing its agreements for the upcoming fiscal year, the garrison was interested in reexamining the basis for its charges. It also was interested in examining the relationship between service delivery and costs, so that it can optimize resource allocation decisions in the future. This report conveys the results of a study of six service areas: Refuse Removal, Continuing Education, Custodial Services, Facilities Engineering, Communications, and Information Technology. For each service area, the study identifies the services being provided to tenants, quantifies their costs, determines the level of service delivery, and recommends a commensurate rate structure. By understanding the true level of resources required to provide each service, the garrison can make informed decisions on service delivery and resource allocation. The garrison can use the rates developed as a basis for its reimbursable activity. It also can use the rate information to identify opportunities for operational improvements within service areas.
