This thesis compares the cost to the government of contracting out Special Project Step Two submissions versus the cost of preparing Step Two submissions with in-house government employees, Data from 80 Step Twos prepared at two Navy Public Works Centers were collected and analyzed, The results indicate conclusively that Step Two preparation by in-house employees is much less costly than contracting out Step Two preparation. In addition to the cost comparison, predictive models were developed for Step Two preparation cost, based upon certain characteristics of the Special Project for which the Step Two is being prepared. The thesis contains background information on the Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Navy Public Works Center, the Special Project Program, and the negotiated architectural and engineering contract process. Possible alternatives to the current Step Two preparation process are presented and discussed.
