5.2 Planned Program Maintenance | 5.2.32 Facility Inspection Tool (FIT) Guidebook | | C.A.S.H. Facility Inspection Tool Guidebook Committee | 2008 | | In 2007, the Office of Public School Construction (OPSC), with the assistance of stakeholders, developed the Facility Inspection Tool (FIT) to replace the Interim Evaluation Instrument (IEI), which was adopted in response to the Williams Lawsuit settlement agreement reached in 2004. The FIT is a significant document for school facility professionals because it establishes a permanent and objective tool to evaluate the condition of school facilities, and all public school districts and county offices of education in California must use the FIT to determine if their school facilities are in “good repair” as defined in Education Code Section 17002(d) (1).
Although the FIT is a very useful document, practitioners in the field have expressed the need for a user guide that can assist them to “fill in the blanks” when conducting school facility inspections. To address this need, C.A.S.H. convened the C.A.S.H. Facility Inspection Tool Guidebook Committee under the leadership of C.A.S.H. vice-chair Bill Savidge to develop a FIT guidebook that provides practical information, specific examples and useful “tips” on how to best utilize the FIT.
This guidebook is intended as a supplement to the FIT and provides additional resources for identifying and addressing maintenance problems and establishing best practices in each FIT category.
