Facility Management Plan U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 11555 Rockville Pike Rockville, MD 20852-2738
- 1.
PURPOSE This document is intended to specify the management procedures, enhance service delivery and provide for efficiency in the management of the General Services Administration (GSA) facility and adhered to by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). The NRC Facility Management group will assure that NRC complies with the terms of the Delegation of Authority (DOA) that allows the agency to operate and maintain the 11555 Rockville Pike facility located in Rockville, Maryland in a condition that meets the expectations of the GSA. This document further establishes the shared vision of GSA and NRC as it pertains to individual functional areas required to efficiently manage a Federal government facility.
- 2.
BACKGROUND NRC has operated and maintained the building located at 11555 Rockville Pike in Rockville, MD 20852, under a DOA from the GSA. The key responsibilities assigned to NRC under the DOA include:
A. cleaning; B. operating and maintaining the building; C. ordering and paying for utilities; D. altering space, including abatement work, if necessary. For alterations in excess of
$100,000, the agency must obtain GSAs consent.
E. operating and maintaining the fire and life safety equipment; F. providing concessions services through a full concessions delegation; and G. assigning space in areas occupied by the agency According to the DOA, GSA retains certain responsibilities in government-owned space. These responsibilities include:
A. periodically assessing agency stewardship, overall physical condition of the building, and the agencys ability to deliver services; B. capital building improvements, equipment replacement and modernization projects over $1,000,000; and C. preparing and submitting required prospectuses for congressional approval, with the agencys input.
The DOA specifies that GSA will use a quality assurance program to monitor the agencys performance. The quality assurance program consists of three key elements:
A. Customer Satisfaction - customer feedback; B. Building Evaluation Reports (BER) - conducted periodically by approved GSA contractors in cooperation with NRC to assess overall building condition and identify deficiencies. The BER may become the basis for GSA remedial action plans and budget submissions.
C. Operational Reviews - to be conducted periodically by GSA to assess the condition of the building systems and equipment and evaluate the agencys preventive maintenance (PM) program and records.
The GSA Standard Operating Procedures for the Operation and Maintenance (O&M) of Delegated Real Property state that:
The Agency shall develop and administer a Facility Management (FM) program that results in the efficient and effective operation and maintenance of all interior and exterior building systems and related equipment... The FM program must also contain a system for inspecting and documenting proper delivery of all services as well as procedures and processes that provide management with a high level of confidence in proper program execution.
- 3.
BUILDING DESCRIPTION The NRC One White Flint North building houses approximately 1,800 employees and contractors. The building consists of 18 floors and a parking garage. The building measures approximately 645,302 gross square feet, the rentable area is approximately 480,316 square feet, and the useable area is 310,448 square feet.
The building consists of Federal government office space, a cafeteria, and 472 underground parking spaces that support the building.
- 4.
OVERVIEW OF NRC FACILITY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM The NRC Facility Operations Team has overall responsibility for planning, budgeting, and managing expenditures related to the operation of the building. The team is also responsible for a comprehensive quality control system to ensure that the building is maintained in a way that maximizes its life expectancy.
Day-to-day facility operations have been provided through a consolidated facility management (CFM) contract with an outside vendor. The CFM contract is re-competed on a regular basis.
The statement of work (SOW) for the CFM contract was designed as much as possible to be a performance-based specification, rather than a prescriptive one. For example, the SOW requires the contractor to maintain the building systems in sound, operational condition, instead of stating detailed inspection and repair instructions. The NRC oversight role focuses on results or outcomes, not processes.
In addition to providing on-site facility management services, the CFM is responsible for maintaining the Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS). The CMMS is the repository for the PM program, including equipment history, inspection schedules and records, and workload tracking.
