FY 2016 Appropriation

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.

Statute

The following statutes apply specifically to the Internal Service Fund portion of DFCM:

UCA 63A-5-204(2) requires the ISF to receive approval for its rates and fees from the Rate Committee and the Legislature.

UCA 63A-5-204(3) requires the division to direct or delegate maintenance and operations, preventive maintenance, and facilities inspection programs and activities for any department, commission, institution or agency except the Capitol Preservation Board and higher education institutions. Maintenance can be delegated only if: an agency makes a request, the agency has proven its ability to comply with state maintenance standards, and the delegation would save the state money.

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.

Intent Language

The Legislature intends that the DFCM Internal Service Fund may add up to three FTEs and up to two vehicles beyond the authorized level if new facilities come on line or maintenance agreements are requested.
