Join us as we offer Part II of our Statewide Master Planning discussion.
On this Part II Chat, we plan to discuss a five year strategic plan that would go along with an agency’s larger master planning efforts with a focus on agency issues that are tied to deferred maintenance. Maryland manages two programs that are used to fund deferred maintenance projects but our backlog and amount of annual funding don't address the need. Maryland also has a funding mechanism for larger capital projects that could be used based on data gathered as part of a five year strategic plan or a master plan.
From some of the information shared on the last call, Maryland has put together a strategic maintenance outline which they are currently working to create a fillable survey similar to what the Wyoming team did. They hope to accomplish a few things with the survey:
Get a sense of the agencies short term maintenance goals
Get the agencies to look holistically at their facilities and systems and plan for projects versus reacting to what is failing
Our goal is to combine data from the survey with data gathered by the Building Assessment Unit (BAU) to assist with developing the statewide master plan that spans multiple agencies.
