Board approves facility‑maintenance planning contract after presentation from FMP
Summary
Trustees approved a multi‑phase facility asset‑management agreement with FMP Connected after a presentation describing an asset inventory, prioritization tools and a proposed multi‑year implementation with annual licensing.
The Los Banos Unified School District board on Jan. 8 voted to approve a facility‑maintenance planning services agreement with FMP Connected following a presentation by CEO David Randolph.
Randolph described the Summit planner and project‑launcher software, which creates a detailed inventory of district facility assets, rates components’ condition, and estimates replacement costs and timing to inform prioritization. He cited an example calculation that found roughly $17 million in needs over 20 years for four campuses in a previous client district, and said the product relies on an initial implementation followed by annual reinspections and cost‑updates.
Trustees asked whether the tool would replace or support the district’s state‑required facility plan; staff and the presenter said Summit is designed to refine master facility planning and can feed the district’s maintenance plan and bond prioritization. Trustees also asked about costs and cadence; the presenter described a phased implementation over roughly three years with a one‑time implementation cost and subsequent annual licensing, and said FMP bundles consulting hours into the licensing arrangement. Exact contract amounts and annual license figures were discussed in approximate terms during Q&A; staff indicated the contract backup lists implementation phases and costs for board review.
Board members raised procurement and local‑vendor questions; Randolph said FMP has worked with districts in the Bay Area and Southern California but not in Merced County. After questions, the board moved and approved the agreement with FMP by voice vote.
Staff said the platform is intended to provide a single repository of asset‑level condition and cost estimates to inform maintenance planning, prioritize bond or refresh projects, and reduce surprise repair costs.
