Facilities Maintenance in the U.S. Navy
Abstract
The main purpose of this paper is to examine the various aspects of Facilities Maintenance Management of Shore Activities in the U.S. Navy. Included also are some references to Marine Corps installation operations and maintenance as it differs from the Naval side. The paper will show the operational areas that maintenance management is composed of (planning, execution, and appraisal) as well as the details of the structural organization tasked to administer the maintenance functional (Public works Department for the Navy and Marine Air Bases, Facilities Maintenance Office for Marine Corps Ground Activities). Numerous excerpts from Naval Facilities Maintenance instructions are included as appendices to help further detail the maintenance operational procedures and forms management. In the final chapter, the writer examines various aspects of service contracts as they apply to accomplishing the maintenance function. More commonly known as Facility Support Contracts, they encompass far more than the standard garbage collection or grounds maintenance tasks of years past. It must be noted that this paper does not establish facilities maintenance or service contract policy; furthermore, it does not necessarily reflect the views of the Navy. If there are any conflicts between this paper and the Naval Facilities Management Instructions, Marine Corps Orders, or the Naval Facilities Contracting Manual (P-68), then those applicable reference instructions are to be followed.
