1452.4 APPENDIX
(Revised 6/96)
The ODS was created in 1993, however, its history traces back to the formation of state government and construction of the State Capitol. The office views its status as being the state's in-house architectural and engineering firm and does its best to provide the services to its client agencies as a private firm would provide to its clients. The ODS professional staff's breath of experience and knowledge of the state's physical infrastructure enables it to provide cost competitive services with an expeditious response time.
The ODS is comprised of the following sections:
- Building Improvements provides design services for new projects, and for remodel and repair projects.
- Project Management provides programming services, consultant management, and over-all project management services.
- Quality Control provides quality assurance support, library services, central files, design files (the plan vault), training coordination, and specification coordination.
- Cost Control provides project estimating, scheduling, cost analysis, and architectural and engineering consultant contract services.
- Special Programs provides programs for environmental assessments of all structures with emphasis on mitigation of asbestos, PCB, and underground tanks. The seismic unit administers legislatively mandated seismic programs.
