    ENGINEERING AND

    CONSTRUCTION BULLETIN
    No. 2004-21 Issuing Office: CECW-E /CEMP-I Issued: 15 Dec 2004

    Subject: MILCON Project Close-out, The RED ZONE Meeting

    Applicability: Guidance

    Note: This is an update of ECB 2002-14, which expired on 22 May 2004.

    1. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is endorsing the Air Force’s Air Combat Command (ACC)
    initiative called The Red Zone Meeting as an approach for timely completion and close-out for
    MILCON projects. The Red Zone meeting gets its name from the football term used to describe the
    team effort to move the ball the last 20 yards into the end zone. The close-out of a MILCON project
    sometimes can be equally as hard and most definitely requires the whole team’s efforts.

    2. The Red Zone meeting is held approximately 60 days before the anticipated Beneficial Occupancy
    Date (BOD). The whole Project Delivery Team (PDT) meets to discuss the close-out process, to
    schedule the events and assign responsibilities for actions necessary to produce a timely physical, as
    well as fiscal, project close-out. Enclosed is a copy of the ACC brochure describing their program.
    (Enclosure1)

    3. The Corps of Engineers will apply the Red Zone meeting process to all MILCON projects. The
    Red Zone meeting should be included in every Project Management Plan (PMP). Ongoing projects
    with existing PMPs should incorporate Red Zone meetings if project BOD has not been reached. The
    Corps’ Project Manager will schedule the meeting and ensure all the key players attend. The enclosed
    sample checklist (in Word) will help to ensure key milestones are discussed. (Enclosure 2) This file
    can be customized to include unique requirements for individual projects.

    4. The Red Zone Video has been loaded on the Corps’ FTP site at ftp://ftp.hq.usace.army.mil/video. The
    file name is RedZonecpressd.avi. There are a few options to view the video: 1) Double-click on the file
    name. The file will download and you can view it through Windows Media Player. This download can
    take up to 5 minutes. 2) Right-click on the file name and select “copy to folder”. Then select “desktop”
    or “create new folder”. Choose the directory where you want to save the file to and save the video file.
    3) Create a CD of the video by using your CD creation software. Contact your local help desk for
    instructions.

    5. POCs are Mark Grammer, CECW-SAD, 202-761-4108, and Jane Smith, CEMP-II, 202-761-5771.
