Salas OBrien Company is supporting the National Institutes of Health Office of Research Facilities (ORF)by managing facility information and performing assessment services. The facility information includestabular data computer-aided-design (CAD) files and other documentation used across the facility assessment services include field verifying and tagging facility assets field verifying measuring and tagging rooms and assessing facilities and infrastructure for physical condition.

The management of tabular data includes the NIH Facility Asset inventory NIH Preventative Maintenance templates and the NIH Space Hierarchy (Regions Campuses Buildings Floors Rooms). The management of CAD filesincludesCAD-based floor plans and more complex multi-disciplinary engineering drawings including As-Designed As-Built and As-Is management of other documentation includes Operations and Maintenance (O&M) manuals Submittals Warranty Agreements Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) and other documentation used across the facility lifecycle.

Managing facility information will be performed byoperating asSystem Administrators for the ORF IWMS FIMS and EDMS addition to system administration this requirement includes providing end-user support and training to users of IWMS FIMS and EDMS given the System Administrators are the most knowledge with the system and the information within the system.
