Maintain the District buildings to provide a safe, positive and appealing learning environment.
Construction and Building Maintenance Department consists of nine maintenance technicians and one supervisor and the supporting tools and equipment that maintain the building envelope and systems throughout the District.
The following are goals from the previous strategic plan and program review and the current status:
• Provide recommendation to the District for fire prevention. Ongoing.
• Provide technical support and construction management for the $190M Bond Program. Continuing.
• Implement capital renewal projects. Ongoing.
• Develop and implement vehicle and equipment replacement programs. Ongoing.
• Continue development of the preventative maintenance program. Ongoing.
• Provide technician training to increase skill levels, productivity, efficiency and safety. Ongoing.
• Leverage input of vendors, consultants and volunteers to assist with maintenance activities. Ongoing.
• Seek increase of staffing to appropriate levels for the size of the campus. Ongoing.
o Develop a qualified pool of employees for project work. Unsuccessful; continuing to established a pool.
• Continue evaluation of waste water treatment and other regulatory changes. Ongoing.
• Provide electrician with fire alarm training. Ongoing.
Strategy 1 - Preventive Maintenance
Continue and improve the preventive maintenance program to optimize building and utility systems longevity, serviceability and regulatory compliance.
Preventive maintenance is more cost effective than corrective maintenance. Preventive maintenance extends�the life of building systems and maintains or improves energy efficiency.
Strategy 2 - Analyze Work Order Data
Collect and analyze work order data to maximize efficiency of building maintenance operations.
Analysis of work order data enables identification of buildings, equipment or facilities that are deficient. This analysis will also enable management to make more efficient use of employee efforts and enhance overall decision making.
Strategy 3 - Training
Provide technician training to increase skill levels, productivity, efficiency and safety.
Building systems are increasingly more complex, requiring higher levels of training for technicians that maintain these systems. Documentation and reporting allows systematic scheduling of the needed training.
Strategy 4 - Outside Resources
Leverage input of vendors, consultants and volunteers to assist with maintenance activities.
Many outside entities are capable and willing to provide services to the District at low or no cost, thus maximizing the departmental budget.
Strategy 5 - Analyze Work Schedule
Analyze work schedules to optimize department efficiency and provide increased coverage to support the campus community.
The campus community operates on diverse schedules. There is a need to have the appropriate skills available at the appropiate times.
Strategy 6 - Staffing Level
Increase the staffing of building maintenance to appropriate levels per square foot and the resources and materials to support the additional staff.
Current staffing level is inadequate to provide appropriate maintenance for the existing building square footage and to also provide support for elective projects as needed by the campus constituents.
Strategy 7 - Vehicle and Equipment Replacement
Develop and implement vehicle and equipment replacement plan.
All equipment has a finite life and will eventually need to be replaced. Proactive planning for this replacement will allow better decision making and an orderly process. Current replacement value of equipment is approximately $100K and the average expected life is 10 years. This will replace maintenance vehicles, aerial lifts, confined space entry equipment, electronic diagnostic equipment and other maintenance related tools and equipment.
Strategy 8 - Project Employee Pool
Develop a qualified pool of employees for project work.
FPM does not have sufficient staffing levels to support District elective project work. Temporary employees provide a good value to the District for this work.
Strategy 9 - Evaluate Position Classifications
Evaluate Maintenance classifications to ensure a match with District needs and requirements.
The current classifications are old and in need of updating.
Need assistance from Human Resources to evaluate job classifications.
