CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

SCOPE
The DoD Facilities Pricing Guide supports a spectrum of facility planning, investment,
and analysis needs. This version of the Guide, revised for FY 2006 to reflect updated
cost and pricing data, is intended to correspond with preparation of the DoD budget for
FY 2008. It includes reference information organized into three chapters:
1-1.1
Unit Costs for Military Construction Projects
Chapter 2 and tables 2A through 2C provide unit cost data and related adjustment
factors for selected DoD facility types and is intended for use in preparing Military
Construction (MILCON) project documentation (DD Forms 1391) and other project-level
estimates. MILCON unit costs are associated with a particular reference size for each
facility type that can then be adjusted to the actual size for each project. Costs are
expressed in FY 2008 and FY 2009 dollars.
1-1.2
Unit Costs for DoD Facilities Cost Models
Chapter 3 and table 3 provide unit costs associated with the DoD Real Property
Classification System (RPCS) to be used in DoD facilities cost models. These cost
factors are based upon the reported average DoD facility size or an established
benchmark size, as annotated for each Facility Analysis Category (FAC) in the RPCS
(published separately). Many of these cost factors are also based upon a "composite"
facility that reflects a weighted mix of various similar facilities found in the inventory,
rather than a single facility. For these reasons, these unit costs are intended for macro-
level analysis and planning rather than individual facilities or projects. Costs are
expressed in current-year dollars.
1-1.3
Common Cost Adjustment Factors
Chapter 4 and tables 4 A and 4B provide common cost adjustment factors for future
price escalation and location that are applicable to the base unit costs in both chapters
2 and 3.
