Before students stepped foot inyour doors this year, there was a $5,400 per student backlogof problems you needed to fix.

Survey Time!Are You Planning? • Yes – Once a Year • Yes – When we need a bond, grant or emergency funding • Yes – Throughout the Year • Sometime over a 5 year period • No
What’s Threatening Your Buildings? • Lack of Strategic Planning • Chronic Underfunding • Limits on Resources • Status quo
For every $1 of maintenance you defer, it takes $3-4 to fix Deferred Maintenance Potential Rick says stats too high. Blue start at .05, orange end at .45 I modified slightly. Orange is at .45 in 2009.
Current Realities The American Society of Civil Engineers in 1998 gave public school infrastructure a grade of “F”. By 2009, schools had raised their grade to a “D”.
What You Face Along with Budget Limits “My _______ does not understand what it costs to keep these facilities going.” “I need strong support to articulate the need.” “Everyone blames me when things break down and decay, even though my requests have been denied.”
What You Face Along with Budget Limits “My _______ does not believe my list.” “I’ve been putting band aids on things.” “The available solutions out there are out of my reach or are ineffective.” “Politics, politics, politics.”
Four Step Program to Get More Money, Capital, Staff, etc. • Present your request for staff and money
Four Step Program to Get More Money, Capital, Staff, etc. • Improve your image • Establish a respected methodology • Educate the decision makers and decision influencers • Present your request for staff and money
Change the Budget Conversation • Deferred maintenance is a statement of fact, but good control means: • Annual backlog is visible, predictable • Good stewardship is easily illustrated • Budget discussions tooemotional; shift conversationsfrom “wants” to “risks/needs” as predictive data identifies potential threats
“Maintenance” Definitions Routine Maintenance: periodic “tune-ups” Capital Renewal: replacing major subsystems Backlog of Renewal (DM): necessary renewal work that has been deferred Modernization:responding to changes in standards and/or program Modernization Routine Backlog Renewal

Facility Condition AssessmentHighly credible, but too expensive for some
Life Cycle ModelingProven methodology, highly credible and very affordable
The Concept of Life Cycle Modeling: • Building Systems have known life expectancies; • The remaining life of each building system can be estimated; • Renewal costs can be estimated. Source: Pacific Partners Consulting Group
Key Terms: CRV (CurrentReplacement Value) – how much would it cost to replace the same size building that has the same purpose? FCI (Facility Condition Index) used to provide a statistical comparison of a group of facilities’ conditions. = $xxx ?
Facility Condition Indexing (FCI) DM (Deferred Maintenance) + CR (Capital Renewal) __________________________ CRV (Current Replacement Value) $290,000 + $450,000 FCI % = $6,500,000 12% • Building condition can be defined as: • (Good) 0 to 5 percent FCI • (Fair) 5 to 10 percent FCI • (Poor) 10 to 30 percent FCI • (Critical) greater than 30 percent FCI
Life Cycle Modeling • Approach endorsed in a joint publicationby APPA, NACUBO & SCUP • Implemented by The Smithsonian, The Getty, NASA, US Navy • Implemented on >100 million sq. ft. of educational facilities including 200+ districts, private schools and college campuses** * • * Stanford University and Pacific Partners • **Examples of colleges include state university systems for CA, MN, NY, OR, TX
Objectives of Life Cycle Modeling Create multi-year strategic capital plans that incorporate renewal needs: • Estimate the magnitude of the backlog. • Predict when building systemsneed to be replacedor renovated, plusthe associated costs. • Source: Pacific Partners
Objectives of Life Cycle Modeling Provide a sustainable planning methodology: • profiles of each building • easy to update • inexpensive to implement and maintain Save money: • minimizing condition assessments • identify buildings to “consume” • consolidating capital projects • Source: Pacific Partners
