The Facility Condition Assessment Program will provide a standard framework for District decision-makers at all levels may utilize to make informed and objective financial decisions on repairs and potential replacements required at our facilities. This is achieved through the cyclical and continuous assessments of district facilities. 

A facility condition assessment (FCA) is a process that analyzes the physical condition of a facility and its equipment. The assessment takes several factors into account including building age, design, assets, materials used, and more. Maintaining a facility condition assessment program is crucial in monitoring a building’s health and performance in the long run. Without accurate building data, budgeting and capital planning will be based on experience and a general guess. 

An FCA allows operations teams to arrive at an estimate of reinvestment costs that are defensible with evidence, so a decision can be made to restore, replace, or maintain defective systems and assets. It also allows for the use of data and reports to prioritize projects for maintenance, repair, or renewal. The end result of a facility condition assessment is an accurate, objective view of your building and assets’ physical health. Armed with this information, DPS will be prepared to target capital investments and meet District goals. 

Facility Condition Assessments: 

• Maintain accurate deficiency (BSI) data for all buildings and their systems, track all work that impacts the condition of DPS properties, buildings, and systems, and maintain accurate condition index scores and forecast upcoming changes

• Support and inform district leadership decisions in areas such as the project pipeline and FRB requests
• Deliver timely and accurate condition to be utilized in 2024 GOB planning 
• Develop and maintain relevant reports to fully utilize FCAP data (both bond planning and PM resources)
