The Facility <br />Maintenance section has established an aggressive preventive maintenance program to extend the life of building systems <br />and equipment, improve reliability and save energy in over 100 City <br />facilities. The preventive maintenance program provides a cost savings <br />over reactive maintenance programs by keeping building systems and <br />equipment in working order and reducing downtime. <br /> <br />Facilities uses an asset management program to produce monthly <br />preventive maintenance work orders that cover everything from <br />roofing inspections to the backflow preventers in the basements, and all <br />the building systems in between. <br /> <br />Last fiscal year, the maintenance staff completed 4,670 preventive <br />maintenance work orders.
