Since 2012, the State of Minnesota has turned to FEA to develop standard, self-maintained, facility condition assessment processes, reports, and measurements that result in consistent, accurate, real-time information regarding the condition of state facilities. FEA has worked with the State to continually improve the FCA tools and has helped with the integration of data into the State’s asset management software system.
The Department of Administration coordinates 19 state agencies that are responsible for managing real property. FEA helped develop facility condition assessment and site condition assessment programs to enable consistent, accurate, and real-time information on the condition of state-owned real property assets in Minnesota. FEA developed tools that help the State make sound, data-driven decisions regarding over 34 million square feet of space in over 4,800 buildings.
Developed standard, self-maintained facility and site condition assessment processes and reports.
FEA also helped to prepare a similar set of processes and tools to evaluate the condition of and provide asset management information for over 38,000 non-building assets on over 92,000 parcels of land. Non-building assets include utility distribution systems, roadways, parking, and maintained landscapes. FEA provided training that equipped agencies to perform the assessments and manage their asset data using state employees.
The outcomes of these engagements have been the development of cost-effective processes for collecting data, well-defined standard data elements across all State agencies, and reporting that supports enterprise facility management.
