BOARD OF EDUCATION OF HARFORD COUNTY
INFORMATIONAL REPORT
PRESENTATION OF
THE 2020 EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES MASTER PLAN
AND
COMPREHENSIVE MAINTENANCE PLAN
Background Information:
The Rules, Regulations and Procedures for the Administration of the Public School
Construction Program (PSCP) require that each Local Education Agency (LEA), submit annually,
an amended copy of the Educational Facilities Master Plan (EFMP) by July 1, 2020. Additionally,
the PSCP require each LEA to prepare and submit an updated Comprehensive Maintenance Plan
by October 1, 2020.
Discussion:
The EFMP is a planning tool that addresses the LEA’s projected facility needs.
Coordinating with HCPS stakeholders and the Harford County Government, the plan is reviewed
and updated annually. The 2020 EFMP includes all the essential elements required by the State
and has been reviewed by the appropriate school system personnel. The Capital Improvement
Projects proposed in this plan will be the basis for the FY21 Capital Improvement Program. The
EFMP Table of Contents and the Timeline of Capital Improvement Projects are attached.
The Comprehensive Maintenance Plan is a tool to develop and improve the facilities
maintenance program. Utilizing the guidelines prescribed by the Interagency Committee, the
Department of Facilities reviews and updates the plan annually. The 2020 Comprehensive
Maintenance Plan is attached.
The information, analysis, and conclusions within these two documents serve as a guide in
the development of the priorities for the capital improvement program (CIP).
Superintendent’s Recommendation:
The Superintendent of Schools recommends that the Board of Education accept the
presentation of the 2020 Educational Facilities Master Plan and the 2020 Comprehensive
Maintenance Plan.

HARFORD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS
May 2020
PURPOSE OF THE PLAN
This comprehensive maintenance plan is established to develop, maintain, and/or improve the
maintenance program of the public school system to support the delivery of educational programs and
services and to provide a safe and healthy environment as effectively and efficiently as possible.
OBJECTIVES OF MAINTENANCE
The primary objective of the maintenance program is the maintenance of buildings, grounds, and fixed
equipment through repairs or replacement during the 40-year life expectancy of the building.
Specifically, this can be further broken down as follows:
MAINTENANCE CATEGORIES
Scheduled Maintenance
1.) Preventive Maintenance - It is the goal of a preventive maintenance program that equipment will
be inspected and serviced as required to prevent costlier failures. Attached with this
Comprehensive Maintenance Plan is a detailed summary of the Preventive Maintenance Program.
Along with this narrative is a TASK LISTING for one of the identified areas for Preventive
Maintenance (Make-up Air Unit). Additionally, a list of thirty-three (33) identified areas of
mechanical equipment is attached that is the major thrust of the program as well as the filter, drive
belt and filter frame specifications.
2.) Scheduled Repairs - Scheduled maintenance has the goal of keeping the facilities in proper
operating condition through regular service of equipment and facilities. It is, therefore, imperative
that a schedule be established to insure proper budgeting.
The schedule itself is not an exact timetable because the exact month or even year of a failure or
breakdown cannot be determined in advance. Rather, it is a prediction indicating that over a
period of time a piece of equipment must be replaced or serviced if it is expected to function
properly. The frequencies used are those recommended by the Interagency Committee or are
based on local experiences and conditions.
4
Repairs or replacements are not made strictly by the schedules but are made based on the necessity
of corrective action. The schedule or replacement must be flexible but will be accurate from a
long-range budget-planning standpoint.
3.) Modernization and Alterations - A folding partition in the gym at Ring Factory Elementary was
converted to a roll-up curtain. Structural repairs and drainage modifications were performed
on an exterior masonry wall at Fallston High. Gym floors were addressed at Meadowvale,
Churchville and Ring Factory Elementary Schools. Parking lot patching, painting, floor tile
replacement and partial asbestos abatement was completed at numerous sites.
The Bus canopy was replaced at Jarrettsville Elementary as well as fencing. Numerous
exterior poles and lighting were replaced at C. Milton Wright High. The stage curtain was
replaced at Edgewood Middle School. Boiler replacements took place at Bel Air
Middle. An elevator was replaced at Bel Air Elementary School.
Preventive maintenance and repair on the boilers, sprinkler systems, stage rigging, and fire alarm
systems throughout Harford County Public Schools. Preventive maintenance was performed at
all three (3) natatorium locations.
Unscheduled Maintenance
1.) Unscheduled Repairs - Requests for repairs are received through our computerized work order
system. They are then reviewed, prioritized and assigned to appropriate personnel for completion.
Acknowledgment copies are signed by school personnel when work is complete. A total of
15,659 work orders were submitted between 7/1/2019 – May 4, 2020. During that time period
13,390 work orders were completed. This computerized system allows for an accurate inventory
control and an accurate tracking of labor, materials/parts and all associated departmental costs.
At this time, all buildings are set up to submit work requests electronically.
2.) Vandalism and Security Related Repairs - Facilities is prepared to respond to any acts of
vandalism or problems relating to proper building security twenty-four (24) hours a day seven (7)
days a week.
While specifics relating to this area cannot be identified in advance, historical information and
community trends are used to forecast needs.
Deferred Maintenance
1.) As a part of the prioritizing process it becomes necessary, due to budget constraints, to defer
some projects. This activity occurs in a minimal amount. Some other projects are deferred
because of personnel shortages and are addressed at a later time.

COMPLIANCE OVERVIEW
Environmental compliance requirements impact every area of facilities. Regulations dictate close
attention to issues such as asbestos containing materials, integrated pest management, underground
storage tank systems, wastewater, lead containing materials, hazardous substances, storm water
management, carbon monoxide, drinking water quality, indoor air, and radon. Compliance
encompasses the conditions, safety and operation of all the buildings and occupants throughout
the school system and the Department of Facilities personnel. When age and condition of
buildings and equipment warrant additional monitoring, environmental personnel ensure
acceptable performance is maintained by visual and quantitative analysis. Monitoring of water
treatment is performed in accordance with the Lead and Copper Rule and Safe Drinking Water
Act. Additionally, water system corrosion control is administered as prescribed by Maryland
Department of Environment (MDE). Concerns about indoor air quality are addressed by bi-annual
site assessments. Any additional mechanical work required is coordinated through the Department
of Facilities. Monitoring for radon has been done in buildings throughout Harford County Public
Schools. Follow-up actions including remediation and monitoring has been performed at sites
where radon levels indicated. Additional monitoring will also be performed periodically to ensure
continued acceptable radon levels in Harford County Public Schools buildings. Harford County
Public Schools Facilities responds effectively to the constantly increasing number and complexity
of Environmental Regulations.

Preventive Maintenance
July 2020
Status/Remarks
Preventive maintenance is the proactive application of proper inspection and servicing
techniques to plant and equipment systems associated with the Harford County Public Schools on
a continuous selective cyclical and routine basis.
Representative Accomplishments
1. Essential Equipment Preventive Maintenance Field Audits of the entire school system, an
open-ended and ongoing process, including the formulation & usage of projections for new
school facilities, those schools undergoing major renovation/reconstruction & the prompt
replacement of projection data with actual data – complete with impact analysis – upon the
completion of the new/major renovation/reconstruction activity.
2. The formulation & periodic updating of equipment task listing criterion for over 30 major
and sub-equipment categories serving as a basis upon which to plan, organize, analyze &
process a high volume of data.
4. The identification of selective essential rates of coverage of the school system, given the
available PM staffing levels, system size & criticality of service so as to specify realistic
initial/modified program implementation levels as well as to provide a sound foundation
and benchmarking for future expansion.
A sample Preventive Maintenance checklist for annual indirect gas fired make-up air unit
inspections is attached. The generation/modification of PM checklists is an evolving, ongoing
process.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Lock-out the gas and the electrical power to the unit before performing any maintenance
or service operations on this equipment.
• Wait for all rotating components to come to a complete stop prior to entering the
equipment.
• Clear snow away from roof mounted units. Keep the snow clear of the intake, access doors
and any vent piping.
• Do not allow water or solvents to enter the motor or bearings. Motors and bearings should
never be sprayed with steam, water or solvents.
• Exercise caution when venting the coils. High pressure and/or high temperature fluids can
cause serious injury.
1. Fan Wheel: Keep the fan wheel clean for proper operation. Accumulated dirt and oil will
cause imbalance.
2. Cooling Coils
a. Inspect the coil for signs of corrosion and/or leaks. Repair any leaks as required.
b. Inspect coil surface for foreign material. If the coil surface needs to be cleaned,
then direct the cleaning agent into the leaving air-side so that foreign material will
be washed out of the coil rather than being pushed farther in to it.
c. Inspect and clean the drain pan to prevent the growth of algae and other organisms.
Add condensate drain capsules as needed.
a. Test the circulating fluid for sediment, corrosive products, and biological
contaminants and take the necessary corrective measures.
c. If automatic air vents are not utilized, periodic venting of the coil is recommended
to remove accumulated air.
39
4. Evaporative Coolers
a. Shut off the water and drain all the lines when the outside temperature drops below
45ºF.
c. Clean all interior parts of any mineral deposits or foreign materials that may have
