Department Goals

The purpose of Facilities Planning and Management is to create and maintain a safe, positive and appealing environment that supports student and staff success. Our mission is to increase the quality of servcies provided and establish metrics to verify the level achieved.


Future Development Strategies

Strategy 1 - Preventive Maintenance

Continue and improve the preventive maintenance program to optimize building and utility systems longevity, serviceability and regulatory compliance.


Initiatives
  • Modeling Sustainability
  • Using Data-Informed Processes for Continuous Improvement

Supporting Rationale

Preventive maintenance is more cost effective than corrective maintenance. Preventive maintenance extends the life of building systems and maintains or improves energy efficiency.


Supporting Rationale Alignment
Supports Previous Program Review Recommendations: Yes
Supports Changes from Student Learning Outcomes Assessment: No

Strategy 2 - Analyze Work Order Data

Collect and analyze work order data to maximize efficiency of building maintenance operations.


Initiatives
  • Modeling Sustainability
  • Using Data-Informed Processes for Continuous Improvement

Supporting Rationale

Analysis of work order data enables identification of buildings, equipment or facilities that are deficient. This analysis will also enable management to make more efficient use of employee efforts and enhance overall decision making.


Supporting Rationale Alignment
Supports Previous Program Review Recommendations: Yes
Supports Changes from Student Learning Outcomes Assessment: No

Strategy 3 - Training

Provide technician training to increase skill levels, productivity, efficiency and safety.


Initiatives
  • Modeling Sustainability
  • Supporting Student, Faculty and Staff Success
  • Maximizing Resources to Support Student Learning

Supporting Rationale

Building systems are increasingly more complex, requiring higher levels of training for technicians that maintain these systems. Documentation and reporting allows systematic scheduling of the needed training.


Supporting Rationale Alignment
Supports Previous Program Review Recommendations: Yes
Supports Changes from Student Learning Outcomes Assessment: No

Strategy 4 - Outside Resources

Leverage input of vendors, consultants and volunteers to assist with maintenance activities.


Initiatives
  • Maximizing Resources to Support Student Learning

Supporting Rationale

Many outside entities are capable and willing to provide services to the District at low or no cost, thus maximizing the departmental budget.


Supporting Rationale Alignment
Supports Previous Program Review Recommendations: Yes
Supports Changes from Student Learning Outcomes Assessment: No

Strategy 5 - Analyze Work Schedule

Analyze work schedules to optimize department efficiency and provide increased coverage to support the campus community.


Initiatives
  • Supporting Student, Faculty and Staff Success
  • Using Data-Informed Processes for Continuous Improvement
  • Maximizing Resources to Support Student Learning

Supporting Rationale

The campus community operates on diverse schedules. There is a need to have the appropriate skills available at the appropiate times.


Supporting Rationale Alignment
Supports Previous Program Review Recommendations: Yes
Supports Changes from Student Learning Outcomes Assessment: No

Strategy 6 - Staffing Level

Increase the staffing of building maintenance to appropriate levels per square foot and the resources and materials to support the additional staff.


Initiatives
  • Supporting Student, Faculty and Staff Success

Supporting Rationale

Current staffing level is inadequate to provide appropriate maintenance for the existing building square footage and to also provide support for elective projects as needed by the campus constituents.


Supporting Rationale Alignment
Supports Previous Program Review Recommendations: Yes
Supports Changes from Student Learning Outcomes Assessment: No

Strategy 7 - Vehicle and Equipment Replacement

Develop and implement vehicle and equipment replacement plan.


Initiatives
  • Supporting Student, Faculty and Staff Success
  • Maximizing Resources to Support Student Learning

Supporting Rationale

All equipment has a finite life and will eventually need to be replaced. Proactive planning for this replacement will allow better decision making and an orderly process.  Current replacement value of equipment is approximately $100K and the average expected life is 10 years.  This will replace maintenance vehicles, aerial lifts, confined space entry equipment, electronic diagnostic equipment and other maintenance related tools and equipment.


Supporting Rationale Alignment
Supports Previous Program Review Recommendations: No
Supports Changes from Student Learning Outcomes Assessment: No

Strategy 8 - Project Employee Pool

Develop a qualified pool of employees for project work.


Initiatives
  • Maximizing Resources to Support Student Learning

Supporting Rationale

FPM does not have sufficient staffing levels to support District elective project work.  Temporary employees provide a good value to the District for this work. 


Supporting Rationale Alignment
Supports Previous Program Review Recommendations: Yes
Supports Changes from Student Learning Outcomes Assessment: No

Strategy 9 - Evaluate Position Classifications

Evaluate Maintenance classifications to ensure a match with District needs and requirements.


Initiatives
  • Supporting Student, Faculty and Staff Success
  • Maximizing Resources to Support Student Learning

Supporting Rationale

The current classifications are old and in need of updating.


Supporting Rationale Alignment
Supports Previous Program Review Recommendations: No
Supports Changes from Student Learning Outcomes Assessment: No

Strategy 10 - Analyze GSA Requirements

Analyze the requirements of the GSA (Groundwater Sustainability Agencies) to see if additional staffing is required.


Initiatives
  • Modeling Sustainability
  • Supporting Student, Faculty and Staff Success
  • Using Data-Informed Processes for Continuous Improvement
  • Enhancing a Culture of Inclusiveness

Supporting Rationale

The Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) established a new structure for managing California’s groundwater resources at a local level by local agencies. SGMA requires, by June 30, 2017, the formation of locally-controlled groundwater sustainability agencies (GSAs) in the State’s high- and medium-priority groundwater basins and subbasins (basins).

A GSA is responsible for developing and implementing a groundwater sustainability plan (GSP) to meet the sustainability goal of the basin to ensure that it is operated within its sustainable yield, without causing undesirable results. 

Analyzing the requirements will determine if additional staffing is needed.


Supporting Rationale Alignment
Supports Previous Program Review Recommendations: No
Supports Changes from Student Learning Outcomes Assessment: No

Strategy 11 - Analyze MS4 Requirements

Analyze the requirements of MS4 (Municipal Seperate Storm Sewer Systems) to see if additional staffing is required.


Initiatives
  • Modeling Sustainability
  • Supporting Student, Faculty and Staff Success
  • Using Data-Informed Processes for Continuous Improvement
  • Enhancing a Culture of Inclusiveness

Supporting Rationale

Analyzing the requirements will determine if additional staffing is needed.


Supporting Rationale Alignment
Supports Previous Program Review Recommendations: No
Supports Changes from Student Learning Outcomes Assessment: No
