Summary

NOAA Limited Survey 2011

Instructions

Dear Colleague:

Thank you in advance for your time in participating in this Integrated Facility Inspection Program (IFIP) survey process. As you may know, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has invested in a survey software package to assess the condition of buildings in its portfolio as required under Executive Order 13327. While the software we use has been enhanced to meet NOAA's needs, please appreciate that it is a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) system, and as such, it may not ask questions which fully address the deficiencies at your property. If you feel that there is critical information associated with the facility you are surveying which is not being addressed in the survey questions, please provide that information in the comments block at the end of the question page.

In order to facilitate the completion of the questionnaire, you will be able to access and print a copy of the last completed survey questionnaire for a property, as long as that property was previously surveyed. The availability of that data from a previous survey should be useful in expediting the completion of this year's questionnaire, as long as the property's condition remains unchanged.

There are links on the IFIP survey Homepage to a recorded training session video, a user manual and a PowerPoint tutorial in the event you need assistance in completing your questionnaire.

Questions have been raised as to how survey respondents should address situations where work to upgrade the building was in progress, or where funding had been secured to address deficiencies, but work has yet to commence. If this situation exists, please complete the questionnaire based on the condition of the asset at the time of the survey. If work is in progress, but has not been completed, you should continue to report the building system as deficient.

In previous years, there have also been instances where respondents were assigned to complete a survey for a building that had been damaged by a hurricane or by fire; thereby, rendering completion of the survey somewhat meaningless. If this situation should exist for a property in this survey cycle, please contact your Line Office approver for further guidance.

Finally, in answering a survey question, you should consider the magnitude of any deficiency you identify, and whether it is large enough to warrant full replacement of the building system. For example, if 3,000 SF of asphalt on a roof requires repair, and the roof has a total square footage of 5,000 square feet, you may care to indicate that the full 5,000 square feet require replacement because in all practicality were we to contract to fix the roof, NOAA would probably elect to complete a full roof replacement given its magnitude.

Please be aware that the Department is looking closely at properties designated as under-utilized or not utilized as a means of identifying those properties that could be vacated, excessed or disposed of in order to decrease the federal government?s footprint and save taxpayer dollars. Therefore, should you determine that a property being surveyed by you is under- or not-utilized, please provide a detailed explanation for this designation in the comments box of the survey questionnaire, which will then serve as the basis to inform the Department of our rationale for this designation, and our intentions for its future use.

We recognize that the majority of individuals who have been tasked with completing this survey questionnaire do not have a facilities background, but will be asked to respond to somewhat technical questions. You will find the links in the questionnaire to definitions and embedded pictures of various building systems helpful in enhancing your understanding of the questions. Additionally, there is an online help button at the top of each page, where you can find additional instructions, or you can seek further clarification or answers to any questions you may have via email from our support contractor, VFA, at help@vfa.com or by phone at 888-506-8500.

If you find, however, that you are being asked to respond to a question where you lack understanding and require additional information beyond the definitions provided, please feel free to contact Mr. Gene Rodgers at 301-713-0937, ext 105.

Thank you again for taking your time to respond to the questionnaire. Through your efforts, NOAA will be able to gain a greater understanding of the condition of its real property portfolio, and better plan the budgeting of our limited resources to address NOAA?s infrastructure needs.

Often equipment in this condition have circuit breakers that "trip" on occasion. In addition, if there has been a need for significant amounts of maintenance or equipment failures have occurred, then replacement would be warranted.

Unit Heaters are devices commonly used for heating the interior of equipment, warehouse and storage buildings. Typically, they are either ceiling or wall mounted and utilize electricity or gas (natural gas or propane) as fuel. They are equipped with fans that direct the heated air stream down, towards the occupied space.

Additionally, buildings of this type often utilize electric baseboard heat in limited areas such as mezzanine areas or entries. Electric baseboard heat is composed of electric resistance heating elements housed in a metal enclosure mounted on walls at or near the floor level. Electric baseboard heat is also used for heating individual rooms or spaces and is not used for heating large warehouse areas as unit heaters are.

The following questions are meant to assist in the assessment of the condition of the facility's unit heaters and electric baseboard heat:

No response is appropriate for this section of the survey.

(Does not apply, cannot be assessed, like "new" condition, etc.)
