In the present environment of budgetary constraints and increased scrutiny from Congress and stakeholders, the Department of Energy (DOE) Environmental Management (EM) program has been challenged to reduce and control costs. The Environmental Management (EM) Applied Cost Engineering (ACE) Team was established to promote continuous cost improvements through dissemination of cost engineering tools, methods, techniques, best practices, and lessons learned across the EM complex. The Office of Strategic Planning and Analysis Project Management serves as the EM corporate lead for cost estimation policy and procedures, as well as the an advocate for the cost estimation center at the EM Consolidated Business Center (CBC).
