• Office of Research Facilities Development and
  Operations

2
Facility Condition Index (FCI) Industry Benchmark

• The FCI
• Developed by the National Association of College
  and University Business Officers
• Provides a Means for Objective Comparison of
  Building Condition Among Geographically Dispersed
  Sites
• Provides a Clearer Picture of Building Renewal
  Funding Needs.
• Data from Professionally Performed Facility
  Condition Assessments

Facility Condition Index (FCI) Understanding and
Using FCI
Facility Condition Index (FCI) Is an industry
standard parametric tool used to relatively
compare building conditions.

• Facility is in Critical Condition
• Facility Should Either Be
• Upgraded or
• Replaced

5
Facility Condition Index (FCI)

• Facility Assessments
• Are performed every 3 years
• Identify and prioritize the necessary short and
  long term maintenance and repair requirements.
• Establish the condition of NIHs facilities using
  the Facility Condition Index (FCI).
• Provide the ability to forecast and prioritize
  the replacement of major components in the
  buildings.
• To better allocate funding resources.

Facility Condition Index (FCI) Facility
Condition Assessment

• Assessment performed by professional architects
  and engineers.
• Establishes the baseline conditions for the
  building and its systems.
• Identifies, classifies and prioritizes building
  deficiencies.
• Recommends corrective action for each deficiency.
• Estimates cost for proposed corrective actions
  and assigned to the funding sources (R.S. Means).
• Maintains building condition and cost data
  current.

Facility Condition Index (FCI) Projecting Long
Term Capitalization

• Life of System Determined
• Capitalization Rate Projected

8
Facility Condition Index (FCI) Prioritizing
Repairs

• Priority 1 Immediate Safety, Building Code,
  Accreditation
• Priority 2 Short term deficiencies, correct
  within 1 to 2 years
• Priority 3 Long term deficiencies correct within
  3 to 5 years
• Priority 4 Improvements required to improve the
  performance of the building and its systems.
• Priority 5 New code requirements, to be
  addressed in any major renovation

Facility Condition Index (FCI)FCI by Campus

• FCI from Facility Assessments
• RML, Montana - .04 (Very Good)
• NIEHS, North Carolina - .05 (Good)
• Bethesda (No Clinical Center) - .06 (Fair)
• Poolesville - .06 (Fair)
• New Iberia, LA - .06 (Fair)

Facility Condition Index (FCI)Status Future
Additions

• Building 10 and NCI Frederick Remain to be
  Assessed, completion in FY 2004.
• Backlog of Maintenance and Repairs is 242M with
  75 of SF Assessed.
• Primary Utility Distribution System Assessments
  need to be Included.
• Looking at adding other Essential Safety and
  Regulatory Compliance Programs, Asbestos, Fire
  Protection, and Indoor Air Quality.

Facility Condition Index (FCI)Conclusions

• Conclusions
• Under Funded to Repair Deficiencies Identified
  from Facility Condition Assessments
• Annual Capital Repair Funding Required 118.7
  Million
• Both Rent Program and BF Program Need to
  Provide Additional Resources
• 40 million is Annual Shortfall in Dollars
• Current Funding will support an FCI of Fair to
  Good, not the Good to Excellent Needed to be
  Compatible with the Research.
