Fiscal Year for Terms and Conditions: 2011-12
Strategic Outcome: Resources are acquired to Meet Government Defence expectations
Program Activity: Real Property and Informatics Infrastructure Acquisition and Disposal
Description: The Department of National Defence uses the Capital Assistance Program to optimize its infrastructure by seeking cost-effective solutions with eligible recipients who have the mandate and capacity to operate and maintain the infrastructure and who may also benefit from joint use opportunities. Contributions are made to:
- upgrade infrastructure (e.g. roads, sidewalks, and sewers in residential quarters; water treatment plants and water distribution systems that serve operational and non-operational requirements) after it has been transferred from DND to the eligible recipient;
- expand and/or upgrade existing local infrastructure to better support DND requirements (e.g. water treatment plants, water distribution systems, airport runway extensions, roads); and/or
- construct new local infrastructure, such as:
- community-oriented facilities for shared-use by the Base/Wing and local authorities (e.g. arenas, gymnasiums, swimming pools, community centers);
- infrastructure to support non-operational requirements such as for residential accommodation (e.g. roads, sidewalks, sewers);
- infrastructure to support operational requirements (e.g. new access to the Base/Wing).
Expected results:
The immediate expected result is:
- Collaborations with local authorities to upgrade/expand/construct and own and operate public infrastructure and services that DND requires.
The intermediate results are:
- Reduced DND non-core infrastructure;
- Cost-effective development and maintenance of infrastructure, which involves one of the following:
- reduced operating/capital costs,
- or cost avoidance,
- or minimized DND liability; and
- Improved/new/maintained infrastructure for use by DND members and their families
The final expected results are:
- The optimization of DND infrastructure to support the evolving force structure; and;
- Enhanced quality of life in the Canadian Forces.
