CHAPTER 3
PROJECT EXECUTION
3-1. Introduction.
a. This chapter discusses project execution requirements for USACE elements involved in
OE response projects. Topics discussed in this chapter include: Business Management
Practices; Project Prioritization; the Project Team Approach; Project Management Plans;
Scheduling; Project Funding; Project Reporting Requirements; Contracting; Estimating; Property
Management; Real Estate Activities; and Environmental Considerations.
b. Project Management for OE projects will be implemented in accordance with ER 5-1-
11.
3-2. Business Management Practices. USACE has instituted business processes that will
enhance service to its customers, provide a focal point for interface with customers, effectively
leverage available resources across functional and geographic boundaries, and produce high
quality, cost-effective services and products for its customers. Business management practices
will be implemented in accordance with ER 5-1-11.
3-3. Project Prioritization.
a. USAESCH is responsible for providing an annual recommendation on the priority
listing of OE projects to each MSC. The list is divided into four parts: Conventional Archives
Search Reports (ASR) complete; non-stockpile Chemical Warfare Materiel (CWM) ASRs
complete; Conventional Future ASRs; and CWM Future ASRs. A sample list is provided on the
website: http://www.usace.army.mil/inet/usace-docs. MSC Commanders will review the list and
make final decisions for project prioritization.
b. The priority list ranks each project in descending order by Risk Assessment Code
(RAC) score, which is discussed in further detail in Chapter 6. Based on the list, the district will
give funding prioritization to the sites with higher RAC scores. The list will require periodic
maintenance as ASRs are completed and discrepancies are resolved.
3-4. Project Team Approach.
a. USACE implements a project team approach to execute OE response projects. The OE
project team is led by the PM, who is responsible for overall coordination of OE project team
members. Each OE response project will have a single PM, regardless of how many USACE
organizations are on the OE project team, to ensure single point accountability for the overall
management and leadership of the project.
