department/special district, or the designated representative authorized to act in this capacity.

supporting infrastructure of a building such as roofs, building HVAC systems, building plumbing systems, 
building electrical systems and security systems. 
 
C. Business Plan: A document defining the objectives of the proposed improvements, the strategy for 
making the improvements, and the consequences of making or not making the improvements.  A Return-
on-Investment Analysis should be included with the Business Plan. 
 
D. Capital Improvements: New facilities, facility upgrades, or remodeling that improves efficiencies of the 
work environment including re-purposing of space, relocation, code compliance, aesthetic improvements 
or enhanced customer service. Capital Improvement requests require a Business Plan and are often 
implemented over multiple years. 
 
F.E. 
County Administration: The County Manager, Deputy/Assistant County Managers, and/or their 
appointed designees. 
 
H.F. 
Major Maintenance Projects: Typically involves the operation, maintenance, upkeep, and 
replacement of building systems and/or major components of systems, such as HVAC, Electrical, 
Plumbing, Roofing, Fire Alarm, Security, Abatement, etc. These typically do not require a Business Plan 
or Return-on-Investment Analysis.  
 
J.G. 
Master Plan: A comprehensive analysis of current space allocations that includes predicted 
demographic models, socioeconomic models, legislative trends, and population growth over a defined 
period of time and that facilitates a plan for space needs and costs. Such plans may result in the 
construction or modification of multiple facilities over multiple years.    
 
L.H. 
Return-on-Investment (ROI) Analysis: An analysis of the proposed solution in order to 
determine the benefit/cost relationship. This analysis predicts the time in which savings realized by the

improvement that minimally affects other County facilities.     
 
P.J. Tenant: Departments or other subdivisions of the County that occupy physical space in any building 
owned or leased by the County.  
 
 
Q.K. 
Tenant Improvements: Tenant Improvements are unique to the Tenant’s business operation 
and generally do not serve to benefit the facility’s overall shell or Building System. Improvements which 
occur entirely within a Tenant’s workspace for the sole benefit of the Tenant. Tenant Improvements 
require a Business Plan.

of work.

maintain core Building Systems.

4.2. Prior to budget development, FMD generates the Capital Improvement project list and sends a copy 
to the County Administration and each affected Tenant. Affected Tenants must inform FMD of any 
pending Tenant operational changes that could alter the proposed Capital Improvement scope of 
work.  
 
6.3. 
For Tenant Improvement projects, FMD will assist Tenants in programming, planning, and 
estimating costs. If Tenant funding is not available, OMB the Budget Office and FMD may consider 
alternative funding.

facilitate a budgetary cost estimate.  
 
4.2. FMD reserves the option to either perform such tasks using in-house resources, term agreements 
with local professionals, or qualifications-based consultants. It is FMD’s responsibility to ensure that 
stakeholders are offered the opportunity to provide input into the planning process.
