Common Levels of Support Catalog

Sections

Overview

This catalog was developed to familiarize our customers with the Installation Management Command Common Levels of Support and to describe the method that garrison support agreements DD 1144) are prepared, negotiated and finalized. In Fiscal Year 2011, IMCOM replaced the CLS with the Installation Status Report three-digit code; however, the CLS format is reflected in this catalog. The concept described herein has been designed to decrease coordination time, clarify standard installation services, reduce the size of the support agreement and eliminate unneeded wordsmithing. The CLS attached to this catalog are evaluated periodically throughout the fiscal year and are based on current funding levels. Associated capability levels based on our funding may be posted on this site at a later date.?

  • Army customers: According to IMCOM, starting in Fiscal Year 2008, IMCOM garrisons were transitioned to the CLS which provides for Army on-post activities to be treated equitably and fairly and to receive the same CLS for approved service as defined by IMCOM. If you are an Army off-post customer not reflected on the Fort Meade Army Stationing and Installation Plan or are funded to reimburse the active installation for maintenance and repair, you will have to reimburse for the incremental cost of the garrison having to deliver the unresourced added span of CLS BASOPS services to your organization.
  • Non-Army customers: Non-Army customers who require recurring reimbursable support must enter into a support agreement with the garrison and will reimburse for all services above CLS in accordance with DODI 4000.19 for any service that “. . .? increases the support supplier’s direct costs i.e., incremental direct cost). Costs associated with common use infrastructure are non-reimbursable, except for support provided solely for the benefit of one or more tenants. . .” A draft DODI 4000.19/IMCOM CLS crosswalk is provided for information purposes.
  • Reimbursable costs:? Estimated reimbursements are identified on the Fort Meade DD 1144 which includes a? funding annex. The DD 1144 provides an estimate only and customers will be billed the actual cost.?
  • Buildings: Please note that all buildings that are the property of the DPW require DPW approval before any changes are made to the facility or the facility is changed to any use other than its intended purpose. Any unaccompanied personnel housing space that is officially or unofficially diverted by the activity or occupying unit is added to the list of buildings for which the agency is responsible for repairing and maintaining.

ISA process

As referenced in DODI 4000.19, a support agreement is an agreement to provide recurring reimbursable support to another DoD or non-DoD federal activity. Support agreements are recorded on a DD 1144 and define the support to be provided by one supplier to one or more receivers, specify the basis for calculating reimbursement charges if any) for each service, establish the billing and reimbursement process and specify other terms and conditions of the agreement.

  • Initiating a support agreement:
  • Staffing of support agreement, Common Level of Support:?
    • Now that our support agreements are based on this CLS catalog of services, only non-routine, high risk or above CLS standard ISAs are routed through the entire garrison staff.? ?
  • Finalizing the support agreement:
    • The agreement is sent to the receiver for their review and the signatures of their approval authority and comptroller the signature of the approval authority and comptroller cannot be the same).
    • The agreement is signed by the supplier’s approval authority and comptroller and copies are distributed to the receiver and uploaded to the supplier's "ISA_Garrison" share drive for functional managers.?
    • Receiver forwards a DD Form 448 Military Interdepartmental Purchase Request) to cover estimated reimbursements to supplier’s budget officer at 301-677-6705/5815.
    • Receiver notifies support agreement manager of any changes in strength, square footage or levels of support in order to keep the ISA current.?
  • Periodic review of agreement:
    • Periodic reviews and modifications of the ISA will be required to reflect any changes in support availability or support configuration on the installation. This should be done every three years or as significant changes occur.?
    • The common level of service is reevaluated at the beginning of each fiscal year, and is based on funding received by the garrison. Should the baseline change, customers will be notified.
    • All rates in the funding annex are based on current rates, which are subject to change for uncontrollable reasons, such as legislation, DoD directives and commercial utility rate increases.? The receiver will be notified of such rate changes that must be passed through to the support receivers.
