Facilities Management provides the professional expertise to turn an operational need into a finished facility. County departments and agencies provide requirements and funding details for their projects. Facilities in turn selects the specific professional consultants, manages the design process, oversees the construction document preparation, acts as liaisons between client and contractor and delivers the project within the client's budget and schedule. Staff provides continual coordination and problem solving to achieve these results.

In 2005/2006 the square footage of buildings owned by the County was 2,639,703. This year the square footage is 3,301,822 and projected additions in 2011/2012 will bring the total to 3,315,729. That is over 650,000 square feet of additional building space that we maintain. With 35 techs on staff, that computes to 94,735 square feet per tech to maintain.
