District completes facility‑condition inventory; Maximo integration planned for asset management
Summary
Bureau Veritas finished field assessments and delivered draft facility reports covering every campus; results will be integrated into the district Maximo work‑order/asset system and used to prioritize capital needs and maintenance planning.
A vendor hired to inventory Broward County Public Schools buildings and equipment reported that field work is complete and draft facility condition assessment (FCA) reports are being finalized for each campus.
Bureau Veritas, which conducted a districtwide assessment, told the school board on June 24 that assessors had visited every building, cataloged more than 41,000 discrete assets (including rooftop fans, chillers and playground items), geolocated roughly 18,000 exterior items and recorded remaining useful life, condition and suggested corrective actions for each asset. The effort included a pilot in December at William Dandy Elementary and use of a standardized field tool and condition guidebook to keep scoring consistent across assessors.
The FCA will also provide a facility condition index (FCI) for each building and a multi‑year prioritized list of repairs and replacements; the vendor said the district will get year‑by‑year cost profiles and an option to push asset records into the district’s Maximo maintenance system so technicians can begin preventative maintenance schedules and attach warranties to bar‑coded items. District staff said the plan is to use the FCA outcomes in upcoming facility‑planning work, including the district’s “redefining” discussions on school usage and potential consolidation.
Bureau Veritas and district staff described the work as the first complete, block‑by‑block inventory, including make/model/serial numbers for mechanical assets. Vendor representatives said the draft reports and the asset database were in review with the district and expected to be available for staff use as they finalise prioritization and project scoping.
Superintendent staff said the FCA will be refreshed periodically (the contract includes ongoing services) and that more detailed construction cost estimates and project bundles will follow once staff determine priorities; that next stage would include unitized project estimates and contingency to generate bond or capital funding scenarios.
Board members pressed staff about next steps for using the FCA in the district’s capital and redefining work and asked for early priority lists for schools under immediate threat of water intrusion or other life‑safety risks. District staff said they will prioritize those clusters for early scheduling and begin Maximo asset ingestion so preventative maintenance and warranty tracking can begin.
