State Agencies

This Division is responsible for implementing
the State's Comprehensive Maintenance and Re-
pair Program. The Division inspects each State
facility on a regular basis in terms of its preven-
tive maintenance and operational status. It assists
physical plant superintendents in establishing
maintenance guidelines, provides engineering and
technical advice on maintenance projects, pre-
pares contract documents and contractor directo-
ries, and reviews all renovation and repair con-
tract documents prior to their submission to the
Board of Public Works. This review is to ensure
that the work being requested is justified, that
contract specifications are accurate, and that
prices are competitive.

The Division also operates an energy conserva-
tion program. State facilities can utilize monthly
fuel consumption reports to identify abnormal en-
ergy consumption to help them economize on
their energy usage.

rity services for preserving facilities and equip-
ment at a level satisfactory to perform their de-
signated functions. These tasks are accomplished

chanical, electrical, carpentry, painting, refrigera-
tion, electronic, housekeeping, and grounds-
keeping personnel. Around-the-clock security is
the responsibility of the Division's special police

sive supply system for the acquisition of equip-
ment and materials necessary for the maintenance
of the Complex and some of its vehicles. The Di-
vision also dispatches and controls the operation
of pool cars and other assigned vehicles. Some
maintenance tasks and services are contracted for
competitively, when possible, from outside sour-
ces. Contractual services include elevator mainte-
nance service and repair, the exterior painting of
buildings, special equipment repair and mainte-
nance, pest control, window cleaning, and fire de-
tection and safety equipment services. The Divi-
