State of Missouri

State of Missouri, Capitol Building
Facility managers across the country are rethinking their approaches to physical asset management and capital planning. The State of Missouri is lucky to have one of those forward-thinking teams, which propelled the Division of Facilities Management, Design, and Construction (FMDC) to partner with FOS to implement a statewide facility condition assessment (FCA) program.
This significant assessment comprises seven million square feet, including several signature assets such as the Capitol Complex in Jefferson City and high-profile buildings in St. Louis and Kansas City. Over a span of eight field weeks, FOS assessors will survey the State’s physical assets and identify deferred maintenance deficiencies and capital renewal needs. This will allow the FOS team to provide actionable and prioritized recommended improvements with associated cost estimates. Ultimately, this approach will enable a dynamic decision-making framework designed for master plans and financial strategy.
FMDC's mission is to “provide a superior workplace environment for state employees and visitors and to protect the State's investment in property assets,” and they aspire “to deliver best-in-class capital solutions.” Their partnership with FOS will help the State accomplish these admirable goals by building a comprehensive understanding of the condition of their assets and creating a proactive and strategic approach to addressing associated deficiencies and capital needs over time.
FOS advocates and challenges building owners to look beyond the capabilities of static FCA reports. While FOS feels strongly that our FCA reports deliver unparalleled value to our clients, they are inherently stuck in a single point in time. FOS built FOScore®, a FCA and capital planning platform, as a tool to perform assessments, update datasets, and leverage information to create project budgets and bundled capital plans. Supported by substantial reporting and visualization capability, the FOScore® platform is a centralized decision making and communication hub for FMDC stakeholders.
