Department of Energy FIMS Data Validation Improvements And Lessons Learned Phil Dalby, PE, LEED AP Office of Engineering and Construction ManagementFacilities and Infrastructure TeamFIMS Workshop 3 June 2009
Agenda • FIMS • Status of FY 2009 Validations • QA Assist visits • Plan for FY 2010 validations • Lessons learned • Reminders • Questions
FIMS • Reliance on FIMS is increasing • Current user community consists of almost 500 people • The user base has increased by 40% over the last 5 years • We have seen an increased level of interest in FIMS training by management and facilities personnel in the field • OMB's and GSA’s focus has shifted from data completeness to data quality/accuracy • This makes our data validation process all the more important • We are nearing completion of the third year of validations and have seen significant improvement • Good results with OSF’s • Most sites are now green on status for buildings and real property trailers • Next year (FY 2010) we will combine Building, trailers and OSF’s Call the hotline!!
FIMS Validation Status • 46 Sites to be validated • 34 Validated • Buildings and Trailers • 28 Green/Green • OSF’s • 16 Green/Green • LPSO is lead on multi-program sites • One scorecard per site Go’in for Green!
Quality Assurance Visits • ~ Eight per year • Try to get to each site every 4 to5 years • Sites that score red visit more frequently • To provide assistance • OECM/HQ Program Office do not run validation • Observe process • Provide QA • Provide assistance • Answer questions FIMS We’re from Washington and we're here to help!
FY 2010 FIMS Validation Plan • Validate buildings, trailers and OSF’s • One data pull • One Scorecard • Validate Sustainable Building Data (buildings and trailers) • Existing Buildings • Not Assessed • Exempted from Assessment • Not Worth Assessing • Building Assessed • LEED Points • Guiding Principle Points - % Achieved • LEED Certification Level Attained
FY 2010 FIMS Validation Plan • Validate Sustainable Building Data (buildings and trailers) • New Construction • Certification Pending • Certification Waived • Failed to be Certified • Guiding Principle Points - % Achieved • Certification Received • LEED Certification Received • Guiding Principle Points - % Achieved
FY 2010 FIMS Validation Plan • Outgrant Indicator • Source documentation should list all properties and identify whether they are outgranted Yes or No • Real Estate should be the Subject Matter Expert (SME) for this data • Excess Indicator • Source documentation email from OECM indicating the asset has been screened and declared excess by DOE • Estimated Disposition Year • Source documentation from site’s SME on dispositions indicating when asset is scheduled to be disposed
FY 2010 Validation Forms • FIMS Data Validation Forms • Redesigned to include • Sustainability data elements • The combined random pull of Bldgs/Trailers and OSF's • Thank you Mark, Gayle and Mike!
Lessons Learned • Complete Source Documentation Worksheet • Streamlines process • Provides contact information to subject matter experts (SME) • Develop source documentation notebook • Tab for each data element • Signed Memo, dated, clarifying process for obtaining source data by SME • Be prepared to go into detail on how you arrived at the values for the source data • Develop Local Data Base For Source Data • Best Practice FIMS
Reminders • DM Inspection Dates no more than 5 years old • Source Data Updated Annually • Usage Code, Status, Outgrant Indicator, Excess Indicator, Using Organization, Utilization, RPV, DM, Mission Dependency, Annual Operating Costs, Annual Actual Maintenance and Sustainability Data
Reminders • No source documentation for a data element, and it can’t be generated • Develop a table from data currently in FIMS • Site’s Subject Matter Expert (SME) review the data • Make needed corrections • Sign and date the table indicating he/she certifies the data is accurate • One data element per table • Certified by only the SME, personally reviewed and certified the data as correct • This procedure can not be used for the following FRPC data elements: Size (Gross Sqft, Primary Qty, Secondary Qty), Net Usable Square Feet, Utilization, Replacement Plant Value, Deferred Maintenance, Annual Operating Costs and Annual Actual Maintenance • FIMS Coordinator should not be SME • Source documents must be signed prior to validation
Reminders • We use the FIMS User Guide to crosswalk Usage Code and RPV Model to validate FIMS generated RPVs • Don’t need to regenerate Source data each year for data elements that don’t change • Add yearly updates (DM, AM, AOC) • Only update process memos if process changes
