This program carries out development of state-owned facilities for all state entities from the initial request through completion of construction and resolution of warranty items. This includes management of capital development and improvement projects for all state entities including higher education and state-level entities within public education. This program contracts with private architects, engineers, and contractors to accomplish its work. Funding for capital projects is provided separately
The following appropriation adjustments were made during the 2015 General Session:
This program also performs the following functions:
- General administrative support for the division
- All real property transactions for most state entities except those exempted by statute. This includes leasing, acquisitions, and dispositions.
- Ensure that all state owned facilities are on a preventive maintenance schedule, which includes those functions that prolong the life cycle of mechanical equipment, electrical systems, roofs, floors, and other safety systems.
- Facility Condition Assessments (FCA), which provide information on repair and improvement of state facilities and calls for all significant state-owned buildings to be reassessed on a five-year cycle. Approximately eighty percent of capital improvement funding is driven by the FCA program.
- Facility Audits measure progress on routine maintenance issues and help agencies prolong the life of their buildings. If audits reveal failing marks, DFCM has a responsibility to assume control of the building's maintenance.
- Hazardous material abatement in conjunction with agencies.
- Administer the roofing and paving program as a means to improve the life cycle of state facilities. In addition to inspections, repairs, and maintenance, the program is responsible for identifying, specifying, and managing all roofing and paving projects.
The Legislature eliminated all General Funds from this program in FY 2002, but then restored $1.1M in FY 2006 and another $1.1M in FY 2007. In FY 2006, the division consolidated the Preventative Maintenance, the DFCM HazMat, and the Roofing and Paving programs into the DFCM Administration program.
