SEC. 325. PILOT PROGRAM FOR PURCHASE OF CERTAIN MUNICIPAL SERVICES FOR ARMY INSTALLATIONS.(a) PILOT PROGRAM AUTHORIZED. — The Secretary of Army may carry out a pilot program to procure one or more of the municipal services specified in subsection (b) for an Army installation from a county or municipality in which the installation is located for the purpose of evaluating the efficacy of procuring such services rather than providing them directly.(b) SERVICES AUTHORIZED FOR PROCUREMENT.— Only the following services may be procured for a military installation participating in the pilot program:
(c) PARTICIPATING INSTALLATIONS. — Not more than two Army installations may be selected to participate in the pilot program, and only installations located in the United States are eligible for selection.(d) CONGRESSIONAL NOTIFICATION. — The Secretary may not enter into a contract under the pilot program for the procurement of municipal services until the Secretary notifies the congressional defense committees of the proposed contract and a period of 14 days elapses from the date the notification is received by the committees.(e) IMPLEMENTATION REPORT. —(1) Not later than February 1, 2007, the Secretary shall submit to the congressional defense committees and the Comptroller General a report describing the implementation of the pilot program, evaluating the efficacy of procuring municipal services for participating installations from local counties or municipalities, and containing any recommendations that the Secretary considers appropriate regarding expansion or alteration of the program.(2) The Comptroller General shall submit to the congressional defense committees an assessment of the findings and recommendations contained in the report submitted under paragraph (1).(f) TERMINATION OF PILOT PROGRAM. — The pilot program shall terminate on September 30, 2010. Any contract entered into under the pilot program shall terminate not later than that date. |
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 363) that would authorize a pilot program under which the secretary of a military department could provide for the purchase of local governmental services at a Department of Defense installation from the local government responsible for serving the area. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes with an amendment that would limit the pilot program to two Department of Army installations located in the United States. |

Senate Report 108-260 |
|
|
The committee recommends a provision
that would authorize a pilot program under which the secretary of
a military department could provide for the purchase of local
governmental services at a Department of Defense installation
from the local government responsible for serving the area. This
pilot program is a follow-on to the program authorized in section
816 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
1995 (Public Law 103-337) under which the Secretary of Defense
was authorized to engage in similar support agreements for the
Presidio of Monterey. Unlike the Monterrey pilot program, the
provision recommended by the committee would not authorize the
acquisition of security guard and firefighting services from
local government entities. The pilot program would provide an
opportunity for the military departments to partner with local
governments at six installations with a goal of providing quality
services at a reduced cost to the Department.
