Governance, Contracting, and Oversight
## Section XIV - Governance, Contracting, and Oversight
1. Program Governance Model (Navy, OSD, DLA, interagency)
2. Contract Structure and No-Change-After-Steel-Cut Rule
3. Performance Scorecards for Yard Operators
4. Auditability, Data Rights, and Open Interface Enforcement
5. Congressional Reporting Framework and Decision Calendar
6. Environmental Cleanup Policy (Program-Wide Enforcement)
TriSeadon applies one environmental standard across all industrial participants:
• All new GOCO flagship yards are brownfield-based and begin environmental cleanup on Day 1.
• Module-yard and DLA-yard expansions are brownfield-first, with cleanup funded inside activation budgets.
• Legacy GOGO yard reopen/rebuild work includes ongoing remediation from project start.
• COCO/private yards must accept and execute funded environmental cleanup obligations to participate in TriSeadon work.
• Cleanup is a continuous compliance and performance metric, not a one-time precondition.
7. Dossier Governance Addendum (Implementation Controls)
Program governance aligns Navy, OSD, and DLA with an interagency oversight construct.
Industrial modernization oversight uses the National Maritime Industrial Base Oversight Task Force (NMIBOTF) model referenced in the dossier to coordinate:
• funding release gates
• labor standards and workforce readiness
• supplier qualification and certification
• yard compliance reporting
8. Contracting Discipline and Design-Freeze Enforcement
The program uses a strict no-configuration-change-after-steel-cut clause:
• once steel is cut, baseline configuration is frozen for that hull
• changes are inserted only through approved block upgrades and scheduled refit windows
• exceptions are limited to supply-chain unavailability or mandatory safety/security compliance events
This rule is intended to control cost growth, schedule slip, and integration risk.
9. Shipyard Funding and Performance Control
Dossier reference funding structure:
• $3B Navy appropriation for shipyard modernization
• $1B competitive state infrastructure incentives
Funding release is phased and tied to:
• production milestone achievement
• cost and schedule performance
• compliance with design-freeze and interface standards
• environmental cleanup execution
10. Public Accountability and Scorecards
The governance framework requires transparent scorecards across participating yards and major suppliers:
• on-time delivery performance
• cost containment against baseline
• quality and rework rates
• workforce retention and certification throughput
• environmental remediation compliance metrics
Policy Consolidation Note
Governance implementation should reference the dedicated policy pages for current baseline language:
Proposal Layers Contract Enforcement Addendum
- Quarterly VPS weighting: schedule 40%, cost 25%, first-pass quality 20%, safety/compliance 5%, supply-chain/GFE handoff 10%.
- Green band (>=90): award-term eligibility, surge options, and expanded workshare authority.
- Yellow band (80-89): hold allocation with mandatory corrective-action execution.
- Red band (<80): option non-exercise, workshare transfer, and cure/termination review at order level.
- Carrot mechanisms: capped schedule incentives and audited learning-curve share when verified savings are delivered.
- Penalty mechanisms: FPIF sharelines/ceilings, QA-gate payment withholds, and critical-path liquidated damages.
- Mobility rule: unexercised options may be reassigned to alternate qualified yards to avoid production pause.
