State Agency Facility Oversight
The Office of Financial Management’s Facilities Oversight Section was created in 2007. The creation of this Section was the result of legislation intended to strengthen the oversight of real estate procurement and management practices through analysis, long-term planning, and state facility portfolio management.
The responsibilities of this section include:
- Developing a Six-Year Facilities Plan to be submitted to the Legislature and the Governor in January of each odd-numbered year with the assistance of the Department of General Administration (GA).
- Establishing and implementing a modified pre-design process and tools for requests to acquire new space or to relocate state facilities.
- Gathering and reporting the state’s facilities inventory.
- Establishing, deploying and maintaining the state’s life cycle cost model for assessing buildings.
- Conducting analysis and make recommendations to the OFM director on leases requiring OFM approval (leases over $1 million annually, for space under development, or over 10 years in duration).
- Consulting with GA on purchases, leases, lease purchases, rent or other acquisitions of real estate.
