Does Privatizing Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Cleanup Expedite Closure and Reduce Costs

摘要

This study was undertaken to: (a) identify and evaluate approaches to accelerate the transfer of military lands designated as Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) sites to the private sector; (b) assess the total costs and/or time savings from privatization and fixed price contracting; and (c) identify methods to limit cost growth using expedited transfer of DoD properties. It is hoped that future work will attempt to provide a methodology to prioritize selection of bases for accelerated transfer for closure during future BRAC rounds.
