MAINTENANCE DEPOT(Bethesda; Clarksburg; Randolph) (Approximately 76 Positions in Each Depot)
WORK PROCESSING • All schools have access to the “Maximo” automated work order management system • Nearly all maintenance work begins with the submission of a work request • The request becomes a work order and is used to track labor and material costs • Schools can go online and check the status of work orders in progress
TYPES OF WORK & PROJECTS • Major Facility Emergency • Examples: Fire; Sudden structural damage or roof collapse; Tornado or severe wind damage; Electrical wires down; Severe flooding; Injuries • Call 911; Request fire, police, or emergency rescue support as needed • Schools should then call their supporting maintenance depot immediately and report the problem so that someone can respond quickly • Schools can follow up with a work request (Unless the maintenance depot does it for them)
TYPES OF WORK & PROJECTS • Emergency or Urgent Maintenance or Repair • Examples: Broken water line; Clogged sewer main; HVAC system breakdown; Electric power failure; Major roof leak; Graffiti on exterior of building • Schools should immediately call their supporting maintenance depot and report the problem so that someone can respond quickly • The school can follow up with a work request (Unless the maintenance depot does it for them)
TYPES OF WORK & PROJECTS • Routine Maintenance or Repair Work • Examples: Broken window shade; electrical outlet not working; door closer needs adjustment; cracked window pane • Schools should submit a work request • Schools can check work order status online • If a response is not timely, schools should call their supporting depot to discuss when the work will be scheduled
TYPES OF WORK & PROJECTS • Minor renovation or alteration (New Work) • Example: Construct or remove a wall or partition to create or enlarge a room • School should submit an email to the Director, Dept of Facilities Management, and describe the project and why it is needed • If approved in concept, the director will forward the project to the Division of Maintenance for evaluation and cost estimate • The Renovation-Carpentry shop will advise the school of costs and likely project schedule
TYPES OF WORK & PROJECTS • Intermediate Size Projects • Examples: Large-scale painting jobs; major flooring replacements; major ceiling tile replacements; roof replacement; boiler replacements; re-paving • These projects normally have long lead times for execution (1 to 6 years) due to existing backlogs and limited annual funding • Schools should discuss these types of requirements with their supporting maintenance depots • Submit a work order if requested to do so • Check with the depot periodically to ensure that the project has been added to a capital project list
TYPES OF WORK & PROJECTS • Large-Scale Projects • Examples: New buildings; Building expansions or modernizations; parking lot expansions • Large-scale, capital-funded projects must be approved and programmed for performance in a multi-year construction budget • Discuss proposed long-term needs as part of annual capital budget planning process • The Division of Long Range Planning and the Division of Construction are the key players
FUNDING STREAMS • Operating Funds • Most maintenance, repairs, and services performed by the Division of Maintenance • Minor renovation and carpentry projects (new work) performed by the Division of Maintenance • Projects funded by the State of Maryland Aging Schools Program (e.g., large painting projects) • Capital Funds • Most intermediate-sized projects • All large-scale projects
PRIORITIES, BACKLOGS, & LEAD TIMES • Priorities of maintenance work orders • Emergency / Urgent (Goal: Immediate to 1-day initial response) • Priority (Goal: 2-day initial response) • Routine (Goal: 15-day initial response) • Factors affecting initial response times • Backlogs of work for trade areas involved • Available staff (present for duty; vacancies) • Factors affecting actual completion • Lead time to order and receive repair parts • Lead time to obtain bids and issue contracts
UNFUNDED & FUNDED PROJECTS • Normal maintenance and repair projects are done using work orders and operating funds • Maintenance depots meet annually with the division’s PLAR/Contracting staff to update unconstrained lists of un-resourced (un-funded) project requirements for all schools • The Dept of Facilities Management annually updates lists of programmed capital projects by fiscal year • Emergency requirements and changes in program funding can affect the order of projects on these lists
SUMMARY • The Division of Maintenance receives and processes thousands of maintenance work requests each fiscal year (59,000 in FY 2005) • Projects migrate from operating fund programs to capital fund programs based mainly on project size (i.e., scope of work) • Lead times for projects are affected by backlogs, scope of work, funding limitations, and unforeseen emergency requirements
SUMMARY (CONT) • What can schools do ? • Submit clear and understandable work orders • Notify their depot immediately of emergencies • Maintain regular contact with their depots • Meet at least annually with the depot to review work backlogs and school maintenance needs • What can school PTA organizations do? • Monitor schools’ appearance and condition • Encourage schools to maintain close relationships with their supporting maintenance depots • Participate in annual capital project planning • Support the Superintendent’s recommendations for operating and capital budgets
