FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT POLICY MANUAL

3. RELOCATABLE FACILITIES
a. General.
A building meeting the criteria of relocatability may be included in a
construction project as an unfunded cost under the restrictive
conditions specified in the current issuance of OPNAVINST 11010.20,
Facilities Project Manual.
b. Definition.
A relocatable building is one designed for the specific purpose of
being readily moved, erected, disassembled, stored, and reused. All
types of buildings designed to provide relocatable capabilities,
including trailers, fall within this definition with the exception of
shelters and building types and forms which are provided as an
integral part of a mobile equipment item and which are incidental
portions of such equipment components, such as communications vans
or trailers.
c. Budget Policy.
Unless relocatable buildings are specifically authorized for
procurement using military construction funds, they are budgeted in
the Other Procurement, Navy, and Procurement, Marine Corps
appropriations, as appropriate, and classified as personal property. The
efforts required to render the relocatable facility usable as an interim
facility, i.e., site preparation, foundations, exterior utilities, etc. are
funded by the same appropriation used to procure the relocatable
building. The cost of refurbishing, packaging, transporting, and
erecting Navy-owned relocatable buildings used for interim
requirements are unfunded costs of the construction project and
financed by appropriations and funds available for expense. The
expense costs normally are financed by the claimant requiring the
interim facility.
4. PERSONAL PROPERTY
Personal property, sometimes called "plant equipment," or " equipment in
place," is defined as accessory equipment and furnishings that are movable
in nature and not affixed as an integral part of the facility. The costs
associated with procurement of personal property are not construction.
These costs are expense or investment based on the criteria provided in
par. 075001. Further guidance on personal property is contained in par.
075361.
