efficient architectural, engineering, and site plan-

Department of Transportation. The Division's
workload includes consultant-designed projects
and in-house designed projects. Five staff groups,
each headed by a registered architect, engineer, or
landscape architect, monitor, coordinate, and re-
view all consultant-designed projects. The in-house
group provides design services on projects desig-

accomplished by the Department of General Ser-
vices. An in-house project usually does not exceed
a total construction cost of $1,000,000.

The Plant Management Division implements the
State's Comprehensive Maintenance and Repair
Program. On a regular basis, it inspects all State
facilities included in the Maintenance and Repair
Program in order to identify preventive mainte-
nance tasks and confirm the operational status of
the facilities. In addition, the Division administers
a program of preventive maintenance and opera-
tional reviews of all public school buildings
through the secondary school level. At the request
of the Board of Public Works and as a Service to
the Interagency Committee on School Construc-
tion, the Division prepares an annual report on the
condition of the public schools it has inspected
throughout the State. This report is used to
identify and correct any maintenance deficiencies
found at the schools.

The Division assists physical plant superinten-
dents in establishing maintenance guidelines, pro-
vides engineering and technical advice on mainte-
nance projects, prepares plans and specifications
for certain maintenance projects, and reviews all
maintenance contracts prior to their submission to
the Department of General Services' Procurement
Review Board or to the Board of Public Works.
This review ensures that work being requested is
justified, contract specifications are accurate, and
prices are competitive.

The Division also operates an energy conserva-
tion program. Under this program, the Division
monitors monthly field reports from each State
facility to identify abnormal energy consumption.
Any irregularities in energy consumption are in-
vestigated and corrective measures are recom-
mended in the Division's Annual Maintenance
Status Report.
