2. Facility Condition Index (FCI) Industry Benchmark
The FCI:
Developed by the National Association of College and University Business Officers
Provides a Means for Objective Comparison of Building Condition Among Geographically Dispersed Sites
Provides a Clearer Picture of Building Renewal Funding Needs.
Data from Professionally Performed Facility Condition Assessments

3. Facility Condition Index (FCI) Understanding and Using FCI
Is an industry standard parametric tool used to relatively compare building conditions.
total cost of existing repairs
FCI =

4. Facility Condition Index (FCI) FCI Greater Than .30
Facility is in Critical Condition
Facility Should Either Be:
Upgraded or
Replaced

5. Facility Condition Index (FCI)
Facility Assessments
Are performed every 3 years
Identify and prioritize the necessary short and long term maintenance and repair requirements.
Establish the condition of NIH’s facilities using the Facility Condition Index (FCI).
Provide the ability to forecast and prioritize the replacement of major components in the buildings.
To better allocate funding resources.

6. Facility Condition Index (FCI) Facility Condition Assessment
Assessment performed by professional architects and engineers.
Establishes the baseline conditions for the building and its systems.
Identifies, classifies and prioritizes building deficiencies.
Recommends corrective action for each deficiency.
Estimates cost for proposed corrective actions and assigned to the funding sources (R.S. Means).
Maintains building condition and cost data current.

8. Facility Condition Index (FCI) Prioritizing Repairs
Priority 1: Immediate Safety, Building Code, Accreditation
Priority 2: Short term deficiencies, correct within 1 to 2 years
Priority 3: Long term deficiencies correct within 3 to 5 years
Priority 4: Improvements required to improve the performance of the building and its systems.
Priority 5: New code requirements, to be addressed in any major renovation

9. Facility Condition Index (FCI) FCI by Campus
FCI from Facility Assessments:
RML, Montana (Very Good)
NIEHS, North Carolina (Good)
Bethesda (No Clinical Center) (Fair)
Poolesville (Fair)
New Iberia, LA (Fair)

10. Facility Condition Index (FCI) Status – Future Additions
Building 10 and NCI Frederick Remain to be Assessed, completion in FY 2004.
Backlog of Maintenance and Repairs is $242M with 75% of SF Assessed.
Primary Utility Distribution System Assessments need to be Included.
Looking at adding other Essential Safety and Regulatory Compliance Programs, Asbestos, Fire Protection, and Indoor Air Quality.

11. Facility Condition Index (FCI) Conclusions
Under Funded to Repair Deficiencies Identified from Facility Condition Assessments
Annual Capital Repair Funding Required – $118.7 Million
Both “Rent” Program and B&F Program Need to Provide Additional Resources
$40 million is Annual Shortfall in Dollars
Current Funding will support an FCI of Fair to Good, not the Good to Excellent Needed to be Compatible with the Research.
