The Facilities Management and Operations service is responsible for the design, construction, maintenance, operation, repair, renovation, remodeling, and environmental compliance and remediation of agency-occupied facilities; property management of occupied space; utilities management; and the acquisition or disposal of agency real property. The objective of the Facilities Management and Operations program is to provide safe, functional, and efficient facilities in direct support of the law enforcement, licensing, and regulatory programs and services provided to citizens, which operate out of more than 3.6 million square feet of floor space throughout the state.
The Department of Public Safety recently completed the 2020 facilities condition assessment, which provides health and safety identified deficiencies as priority projects. The agency also desires to bring older facilities into compliance with the American with Disabilities Act - Title II and Texas Accessibility Standards requirements and other building codes, replace equipment and systems on a planned basis, address overcrowding, install additional security features to protect buildings, and reduce energy and utility consumption.
