Pakistan Army helping in Karachi Floods.

Compared to the resources they eat its nothing and is actually quiet expensive for the country. Its best to have a private contractor do the job and let go of this good for nothing Army.

So your basic issue is the value of the services provided, since value is defined as quality divided by cost. However, that equation is not easy to apply when there is a sole provider situation. There is no other entity that can provide the services needed at the scale needed in large disasters like the Army can.
