The Capital Planning unit (CPU) prepares the annual budget request for programming, planning, constructing, renovating and equipping state-owned facilities, and manages the Capital Grants and Loan program. The CPU works closely with the DJS General Services unit to design projects and prepare project specifications.
Over the past several years, the CPU has continued to develop the planning documents for the construction and renovation of DJS residential treatment and detention facilities. The Department developed the Department’s Facilities Master Plan (FMP) document which serves to define the proposed capital improvement plans over the next 10 fiscal years. The FMP provides a schedule of key recommendations for the upgrade of existing DJS facilities and the construction of new facilities. Though this is a stand alone document, the FMP works in concert with the DJS Gap Analysis to establish and implement the capital plans for the DJS. The Department also has worked for the past several years with DBM to develop its Gap Analysis to define the capacity, operation and program needs for the Department.
For further information, refer to the Department’s Gap Analysis and Facilities Master Plan.
The unit also is responsible for work space lease planning and collaborates with DJS staff managers to identify office space. In fiscal year 2009, the current lease for the DJS Central Operations office will expire. The CPU is analyzing current space requirements and reviewing available locations for Central Operations Offices. The unit will negotiate the lease of DJS Central Operations Offices with the Maryland Department of General Services Real Estate division to ensure a cost efficient and timely renewal of the lease.
