Fire & Police Definition, Goals, and Objectives
For many projects, fire and police services are provided to the project by the installation. The goal is to continue to provide service members and there families a safe community with adequate emergency response services. Under privatization, the Project Owner is required to reimburse the government for providing these services. This reimbursement is typically referred to as "additional rent" in the transaction documents.
Roles and Responsibilities
Asset Managers are responsible for ensuring fire and police service costs are correctly calculated and paid by the Project Owner. Asset Managers will also work with base finance personnel and the Project Owner to ensure a Miscellaneous Obligation Reimbursement Document (MORD) is established and payment methods are in accordance with transaction documents. The AFCEE Portfolio Management Team reviews and provides training on the fire and police reimbursement process to Asset Managers and their staffs during the initial development period.
Process and/or Metrics
The annual calculation of fire and police costs occurs once a year and the new reimbursement rate is applied on 1 October to coincide with the start of the government fiscal year. At this time, Asset Manager will verify that the correct rates are applied. These costs will be included as a project operating expense in the Project Owner's budget and income statement.
