Abstract
This thesis optimizes the privatization of military housing in the Monterey Bay area. We developed two spreadsheet models of the Monterey Bay Military Housing (MBMH) project to revitalize over 2200 military family housing units. We used these models to evaluate several proposed privatization strategies, identify the optimal privatization strategy, develop performance estimates for each strategy, and estimate the performance tradeoffs. We conclude that the DoD can quickly resolve the housing issues in the Monterey Bay by privatizing the military family housing function. The optimal privatization strategy of acquiring additional land, building new housing, and selling the existing housing land will replace the entire housing inventory in three years. Alternatively, the optimal strategy without selling any land will replace over one third of the existing housing units and renovate the remainder in nine years. These models can easily be adapted to support housing privatizations at other DoD installations. During site selection they can verify a project's feasibility and develop financial estimates. They can develop detailed privatization strategies and estimate tradeoffs for each project. They can also be used to evaluate and provide performance metrics of contractor proposals. Most importantly they facilitate "what if' analysis throughout the privatization process.
