Write Up:

To carry out its duty to the citizens of Missouri, MoDOT utilizes facilities systems valued at almost $125 million. These facility systems are comprised of office buildings, maintenance buildings, cold storage, gasoline/petroleum storage, chemical storage and wash bays. With respect to their functional use, many of these buildings do not have sufficient storage space, breakrooms, bathrooms or work bays. Inspections are made annually of over 9,100 building features  to evaluate their physical condition. Hundreds of these systems are due for renewal each year. To note, the total value of the facilities' systems does not necessarily equate to the total replacement cost of all the facilities as a whole.

For financial provision of addressing the functional and physical needs of the facilities, the department has an annual budget of $3 million.  For Fiscal Year 2021, the unfunded needs are $13 million and projected to reach $23.7 million by FY 2025.

Capital Improvement and Capital Asset Preservation are MoDOT’s strategies of seeking to address the functional and physical needs of its facilities. They are utilized to seek proper balance of the principles of asset management and functionality in systematically evaluating, planning and dedicating resources to maximize the use and life of its facilities. 

Efforts are taken to try to bring all facilities to complete functional suitability. Evaluation of current and projected physical conditions coupled with budget planning is sought to extend the life of facilities fully.

Purpose of the Measure:

This measure tracks the functional and physical condition status and trend of MoDOT’s Facilities. Functional Condition measures the percent of maintenance facilities meeting functional goals including sufficiency of breakrooms, bathrooms, garage bays and cold storage. Physical Condition measures the number and costs of facilities systems due for renewal based on annual facilities inspections.

Measurement and Data Collection:

Data is collected through annual review of the Department's long-term Capital Improvements Program and through annual facilities inspections. Functional needs are tracked and reported annually to legislative oversight committees. The goal for Functional Needs is to bring all facilities to sufficiency. Physical needs are tracked through VFA software. The initial 2020 Tracker measure will be used as a base reference and further evaluated to set future targets. Functional Requirement pertains to sufficient space for breakrooms, bathrooms, open bays, and cold storage.  Facilities Value is the total estimated cost to replace MoDOT facility features. Repair or Replace is the number of facility features that are listed due  in FY 2021 or earlier.  Repair or Replace Costs are the estimated costs that are due for renewal in FY 2021 or earlier.
