The internal service fund within DFCM provides building maintenance, management, and preventive maintenance services to its state agency subscribers. These services include: janitorial, security, grounds maintenance, and heating/air conditioning equipment repair. The ISF ensures that each building's specific maintenance concerns are resolved in a timely and cost effective manner and coordinates small building construction projects that may be required by various state agencies on a cost-reimbursement basis.
During the 2015 General Session, the Legislature appropriated for Fiscal Year 2016, $29,633,000 from all sources for ISF - Facilities Management. This is a 1.6 percent increase from Fiscal Year 2015 revised estimated amounts from all sources.
Operations and Maintenance Cost Per Square Foot
For more than 25 years DFCM's actual rate has been lower than market rates according to an annual building association report conducted by BOMA (Building Owners and Managers Association).
Services of the DFCM internal service fund are optional. Currently DFCM contracts with agencies to provide services for over 180 facilities throughout the state. However, if an agency not using a DFCM contract fails to meet maintenance standards, DFCM is required by Building Board policy to take the necessary action to correct the problem.
