Higher purchased electricity costs will continue to impact the FECs’ cost ofoperations. Even though the FECs are impacted by higher purchased utilities, we areimplementing energy conservation measures that are reducing the quantities of electricity andnatural gas consumed. These initiatives include managing the kinds of fuel purchased;implementing efficient ways of using fuel to produce steam; aggressive energy managementto move activities toward Common Output Level (COL) 3; arranging visits by Department ofEnergy (DOE) analysts to identify poor energy performers; maximizing the use of efficientenergy projects, increasing the use of alternative sources of energy such as geothermal, oceanthermal, wind, solar, and wave; and deploying Resource Efficiency Managers who areexamining contracting methods and ordering arrangements with local authorities. Utilityrates also include resources for utility system maintenance across all sites in order toadequately correct known environmental and safety deficiencies and to meet missionrequirements. The amount budgeted for sustainment, restoration, and modernization isdesigned to keep facilities in acceptable operating condition.Base Support Vehicles and Equipment (BSVE). Initiatives to standardize and lower vehiclesand equipment operating costs include:•Central management of BSVE NWCF Rates and Recapitalization•Management of BSVE across Product Lines at all FECs.•Lease Passenger Carrying Vehicles (PCVs) from GSA•Establish BSVE management board•Downsize vehicles and equipment to minimum size, including Neighborhood ElectricVehicles and other slow moving vehicles•Standardize vehicle and equipment type, sizes and configurations•Optimize use of lease and short term rentals for vehicles and heavy equipmentFacility Management and Services. FECs are reducing the cost of facility service contractsthrough maximizing the use of regional contracts and seeking fewer and longer term contractswhile still maintaining Small Business commitments. Additionally, a contracting template hasbeen developed and deployed that standardizes required COL performance. This also servesto reduce costs by minimizing specification writing.Facility Management and Sustainment. The Facilities Condition Assessment Process (FCAP)has been reengineered. This process replaces the labor intensive Annual Inspection Summary
