TOWN OF WATERFORD
FY2025 BUDGET REQUEST
Building Maintenance

TOWN OF WATERFORD
FY2025 BUDGET REQUEST
Building Maintenance
BUDGET FUNCTION
Building Maintenance is more than answer a call to repair what doesn’t work. It is management
of utilities, space utilization, renovations and replacements. It requires the understanding of
how the mechanical components interaction with each other. The task is more than Building
Maintenance, it is Facility Management.
The goal of Facility Management is to provide a building that is inviting, providing a sense of
welcome and arrival at the entrance. It must have a community orientation. Customers must
feel comfortable using the services at the facility. The space also needs to be flexible so staff
can focus on their current and future missions and not be concerned about the limitations of the
bricks and mortar.
The vision for this Department must be proactive, not reactive. This will take several years due
to the backlog of maintenance and repairs, lack of sufficient staff for the facilities effort and
historical data only reaching back 3 years.
Components of a well-managed facilities program encompasses:
*Preventative Maintenance Schedules *Live Safety Systems
*Repair Protocols *Security Systems
*Space needs programming *ADA (Barrier Free Buildings)
*Energy Audits “Environmental Permit Compliance
*Facility Inspections *Indoor Air Quality
*Alarm Testing *Building Code Compliance
*Custodial Methods *Capital Projects (New & Renovations)
The following facilities are assigned to this Department for Maintenance & Repairs:
Town Hall
Library
Public Safety
Community Center
Youth & Family Services
Police
Municipal Complex (all buildings on the property, except Utilities Operations)
Jordan Park House
Nevins Cottage
Eugene O’Neill Theater Center
Southwest & Cohanzie Schools (vacant properties)
CoO0o00000000 0

TOWN OF WATERFORD
FY2025 BUDGET REQUEST
Building Maintenance
The budget presented is primarily an operations (fixed costs) budget. The Department is
obligated to pay utility bills (water, sewer, electricity, heating (oil and natural gas), comply with
environmental permits, perform life safety inspections (sprinklers and fire alarms), manage
intrusion alarms and contract for custodial services for approximately 250,000 square feet of
municipal space. Funding for new construction, major replacements of equipment or
renovations to the existing space are found in the Capital Improvement Program.
The Department is unable to provide a 5 year look back for this budget. Facilities expenses
may have been combined with other expenses in each department’s budget previous requests.
Any attempt to separate out these costs would be labor intensive and questionable to its
accuracy. We will build forward that data base ensuring proper accounting in each area. This
budget request has 3 years of data.
This current year has been stressful with portions of HVAC systems failing at the Library, Police
Station and Community Center. All were at the end or beyond their service life and impacted
the operations of each facility. Operation accounts were used to fund temporary solutions while
staff prepared CNR projects for the permanent repairs.
| believe the budget should be very clear what the funds are being requested for. | have put
together a pie chart that shows the functional areas of the Building Maintenance expenditures. |
believe by grouping all the costs into these functional areas, it provides a clear snapshot of our
responsibilities and the costs associated with them.

TOWN OF WATERFORD
FY2025 BUDGET REQUEST
Building Maintenance
Call Attention to:
Electrical rates are stable based on the 5 year contract for power generation.
No rate increases are forecasted for water or sewer.
New this year is the separation of the natural gas from the heating oil budget.
Accounts that were budgeted in the Recreation and Parks budget for FY24 are now
found in this budget.
Staffing:
Facilities is managed through the Public Works Department under the leadership of the Director
of Public Works.
Utilities:
Facilities is responsible for the utilities (Water, sewer, heating oil, natural gas and electricity)
consumed at the buildings listed previously as well as the 5 Fire Stations. Consolidating all
Utility billings under one department allows a savings in staff time for processing and a better
capture of data.
o Electricity: The Finance Department has entered into a 5 year fixed price for the
purchase of electricity. The rate is $.0919/kwh. This is for generation only. Facilities is
responsible for 40 accounts to include those of the Fire Stations and Police radio sites
(5), and now for 15 accounts that were previously assigned to Recreation and Parks.
o Water: There are 32 accounts that we manage. We have not budgeted any rate
increases.
1)
Sewer: There are 22 accounts that we manage. We have not budgeted any rate
increases.
re)
Heating Oil: Currently we have 7 buildings (5 Fire Houses, Library and the Jordan Park
House) that receive heating oil.
o Natural Gas: We currently have 5 locations with Natural Gas (Municipal Complex, Town
Hall, Community Center, Police Dept and the Public Safety building).
Waste Disposal:
Solid Waste/Recyclables: The Public Works Department provides the containers and collection
services and pays for disposal. These costs are included in the Public Works budget and are
not found in this budget.

Building Maintenance
Service Contracts:
This has been a major focus for the last fiscal year. Consolidation of these contracts allows us
to ensure the preventative maintenance tasks are performed at all of the facilities. It also allows
us to monitor the performance of the vendor.
Life Safety Inspections:
For those buildings with sprinklers and/or fire alarms, quarterly inspections are required to keep
the Town in compliance with the Fire Code. From these inspections, items are identified to be
tested or components repaired.

10111-52040 — Service Contracts and Repairs
The primary method to minimize costly service calls are annual maintenance
contracts. Contracts include HVAC maintenance, pest control, boiler and fire system
inspections and generator maintenance.
Custodial services provided to Town Hall, Municipal Complex, Youth & Family Services,
Community Center and the Public Safety Building are included in this line item. The
Library and the Police Station provide these services in their budgets. Park & Recreation
have a part time employee on their staff at the Community Center for the day cleaning.
The contractor comes in to do the heavy cleaning in the afternoon through the evening.
The cost of custodial services is offset by a funding agreement between the Town and
Board of Education for services provided at Town Hall. These funds are listed in this
budget as a revenue, unlike years of the past years when the funds were transferred into
this line item.

The following are charges included in this line item:

The Town purchases electricity (generation, not distribution) through the Connecticut
Conference of Municipalities (CCM) Purchasing Program. This program is designed to
assist Towns in selecting the best available rates and contract terms for purchasing
electricity. The kilowatt hour rate includes the CCM program participation fee. Electricity
charges also include a distribution rate which is set by Eversource. The proposed budget
for electricity in FY25 is based on the average paid so far in FY24 by this Department as
well as the amount moved from Recreation & Parks
