Federal Facilities Council

该奖项代表了对联邦设施理事会（FFC）2004年技术活动计划的持续部分支持。FFC是国家研究理事会基础设施和建筑环境委员会的一个组成部分。 自1953年以来，FFC及其前身组织为赞助机构提供了一种机制，以共同确定和解决有关设施和基础设施的共同问题和关切。 2004年方案支持举办三个讲习班：联邦设施投资：制定利益相关机构的共同办法、设施设计和管理的新兴信息技术以及联邦设施项目的质量保证/质量控制;完成一项关于使用基于绩效的合同和激励条款：联邦机构的经验的信息研究;并举办三个论坛：建筑物保护策略的成本效益，租赁联邦设施的安全性，以及联邦设施管理组织在A-76程序中的经验。 2004年计划还为FFC监督委员会和六个常设委员会提供行政和技术支持：设计和施工，新兴技术，运营和维护，组织绩效和管理，物理安全和减灾，以及项目和采购管理。 这包括支持多达28个委员会会议与嘉宾发言，维护和加强网络活动，通过FFC网站，并参加行业会议和论坛。

This award represents continued partial support of the 2004 Technical Activities Program of the Federal Facilities Council (FFC). The FFC is an element of the Board on Infrastructure and the Constructed Environment (BICE) of the National Research Council (NRC). Since 1953 the FFC and its predecessor organizations have provided sponsoring agencies with a mechanism for jointly identifying and addressing mutual problems and concerns regarding facilities and infrastructure. The 2004 program supports convening three workshops: Investment in Federal Facilities: Developing Common Approaches Across Stakeholder Agencies, Emerging Information Technologies for Facilities Design and Management, and Quality Assurance/Quality Control for Federal Facilities Projects; completing one information study on Using Performance-Based Contracts and Incentives Clauses: Federal Agencies' Experience; and conducting three forums: The Cost-effectiveness of Building Protection Strategies, Security in Leased Federal Facilities, and Experiences of Federal Facilities Management Organizations with the A-76 Process. The 2004 program also provides administrative and technical support for the FFC oversight committee and the six standing committees; Design and Construction, Emerging Technologies, Operations and Maintenance, Organizational Performance and Management, Physical Security and Hazard Mitigation, and Project and Acquisition Management. This includes support for up to 28 committee meetings with guest speakers, maintaining and enhancing networking activities through the FFC Web site, and participating in industry conferences and forums.
