Do All The Competing Financial Pressures Ever Make You Feel Like This?

$ $

9

Sound Familiar?§ Does your funding for major maintenance and capital renewal

compete for the same funds as new buildings?

§ Do you have higher utility costs than planned?

§ Increased governmental, regulatory, and code requirements?

§ Increased need/demand for Information Technology?

10

Objective…ØMake sure that higher education intuitions:

ü avoid facility emergencies,

ü acquire sufficient capital funds,

ü accomplish the most with their capital budgets, and

ü are recognized for proactive and effective Facility Management.

Ø Leverage Qualitative Facility Asset data to know:

ü Accurate conditions of infrastructure / systems,

ü Accurate, localized repair and replacement costs,

ü Proper priorities for investment and remedial actions,

ü How to align priorities with organizational missions, objectives and constraints.

11

Opportunities for Consistent Best Practices

Ø Best Use of Limited Fundingü Do I invest or not decision support informationü Investment scenarios that make the best use of limited funding and that are aligned

with institutional mission / objectives

Ø Risk Avoidanceü Emergency vs. planned repairs and refurbishments

Ø Procurementü Bulk procurement opportunities

Ø Staffingü In-house vs. outsourced projects

12

Business Intelligence: Asset Database & Capital Budgeting You Want Rich Analytics and Decision Support

Ø Budget Planning

§ Qualitative – align with organizational objectives & constraints

§ Weight Categories in a relative manner to align Priorities w/ Organization

§ If I have “n” budget dollars, what shall we fund and what shall we defer

Ø Assets

§ Deferred Maintenance, System Lifecycles & Conditions

§ Photos, CAD Drawings, Remediation & Local Costs

§ Options – Sustainability, Energy, Environmental

Results for Higher Ed

The passing of the largest higher education bond in United States history validates the critical role a technology-driven CPMS approach plays in the ability to make informed decisions regarding asset planning and the future of our facilities.

Kevin MacNaughton

(Former) Associate VP of Finance

University of North Carolina System

15

Visibility for Higher Ed

High quality, reliable data has enabled us to raise the profile of facility management and planning among university presidents, governing boards and government agencies.

Before our implementation of CPMS, deferred maintenance was an unknown term outside the physical plant departments. Now, our provincial minister is now talking about it and more importantly, understands the value of it.

Duncan Watt Vice President, Finance and AdministrationCarleton University

Central to Higher Ed

We gain one central database of information, which we can use in budget planning and in forecasting critical construction and renovation projects.

§ You will know what you own.

§ You will know your conditions.

§ You will know how much $$ you need.

§ Given $xx budget, you will know what you should do first, next, and defer,

§ You will be able to communicate (show & tell) trends in a clear, credible, and timely manner.

§ Capital Planning

§ Do I invest or not decision support information

§ Condition Assessment (Asset and Site Infrastructure)

§ Consistent baseline across facility portfolio

§ Best Use of Limited Funding§ What do we remediate vs. defer.

§ Risk Avoidance§ Emergency vs. planned repairs and refurbishments

Define Deficiency Categorization

Priority 1 - Currently Critical (immediate – Year 1)

Conditions in this category require immediate action to:

§ Correct a cited safety hazard

§ Stop accelerated deterioration

§ Return a facility to operation

Priority 2 - Potentially Critical (Year 2):

Conditions in this category, if not corrected expeditiously, will become critical within a year:

§ Intermittent operations

§ Rapid deterioration

§ Potential life safety hazards

Priority 3 - Necessary / Not yet critical (Years 3-5)

Conditions in this category require appropriate attention to avoid:

§ Predictable deterioration

§ Potential downtime

§ Associated damage or higher costs if deferred further

Priority 4 - Recommended (Years 6-10)

§ Sensible improvement to existing conditions that are not required for the basic function of the facility

§ Overall usability improvement

§ Long-term maintenance cost reduction

Priority 5 - Contingent

§ Does not meet current codes, but is “grandfathered” in by regulations

§ No action is required at this time, but substantial work performed in the future may require correction

Integrated Facility Assessment (IFA)§ IFA ~ Integrated Facility Condition Assessment

§ A single document that provides a holistic, long term view of the entire physical plant, while also identifying the specific and immediate needs of each program.

29

Facilities Questions We Ask Ourselves…§ Info Every Facilities Organization Needs to Have:

§ What is the replacement value of our facilities?

§ What is our deferred maintenance backlog?

§ What is the condition of our facilities?

§ What are the various “what if” cost scenarios for improving our facilities to an acceptable condition level. (What is acceptable?)

30

Program Questions We Ask Others…§ Program Questions That Often Go Unanswered:

§ What are the future programming requirements in a given building?

§ How do these requirements impact ouridentified/planned deferred maintenance?

§ What are the current code implications of these programming decisions?

§ What do we know about hazardous materials?

§ Security?

§ Information Technology?

31

IFA vs. Traditional Facilities Matrices§ PROGRAM!

§ Program Examples:

§ Office Renovations

§ Revitalization of a Student Activities Center

§ Major Renovation of a Science Bldg

§ The (ever) changing Program Vision impacts the usage and efficiency of a facility as well as how the space is managed!

32

The IFA goes well beyond Deferred Maintenance; it attempts to quantify the major infrastructure categories

that comprise an overall facility need:

µ Deferred Maintenance § PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS (Current & Future) for Academic, Health Care, Student Life, Research Areas§ Life Safety/Code Compliance

§ ADA (Accessibility)

§ Hazardous Materials

§ Information Technology (IT)

§ Security

Looking Beyond Deferred Maintenance

Facilities: Others:

33

Identifying The TOTAL NEED§ TOTAL NEED ~ the sum of all known Deferred Maintenance items

PLUS all defined Program Requirements

§ A key to making IFA truly useful is frequent and detailed communication between Institutional Decision Makers plus the Facilities staff and Program Administrators!

FCA: Essential Ingredient in an Effective Capital Renewal Program

§ The cornerstone of an effective capital renewal program: YOUR COMMITMENT…

§ Commit to the necessary time and resources it will take to create a new capital renewal program or to transform an existing one

§ While buildings were designed to only last for a finite time, reality is that we live with them far longer

§ The sooner you engage in an effective capital renewal program, the more you will see in benefits across the years

Avoid Alice’s Fate...

§ "Cheshire Puss," Alice began, "Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"

§ "That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said the Cat.

§ "I don't much care where — " said Alice.

§ "Then it doesn't matter which way you go," said the Cat.

§ "— so long as I get SOMEWHERE," Alice added as an explanation.

§ "Oh, you're sure to do that," said the Cat, "if you only walk long enough.“
