54 U.S.C. § 101301 — Maintenance management system

The Service must implement a maintenance management system for the maintenance and operations programs of the National Park System. This system must include seven elements. (1) A workload inventory of assets. This is detailed information that measures, for every asset — including buildings, roads, utility systems, and grounds — the features that affect what kind of maintenance work it needs. (2) A set of maintenance tasks. These describe the actual maintenance work done in each System unit. (3) A description of work standards. This covers: (A) how often maintenance happens; (B) a measurable quality standard for how well-maintained each asset should be; (C) the methods used to do the work; (D) the labor, equipment, and material needed; and (E) how much work a worker is expected to produce for each task. (4) A work program and performance budget. This creates an annual plan that identifies maintenance needs and the money set aside for each task. (5) A work schedule. This identifies and prioritizes which tasks get done during a specific time period, and specifies the labor needed. (6) Work orders. These authorize specific jobs and record the work that was actually done, including labor and material costs. (7) Reports and special analyses. These compare what was planned against what actually happened, in both work and cost, so maintenance operations can be evaluated.
