1
Q

A systematic management process of planning and budgeting for known future cyclical repair and replacement requirements that extend the life and retain the usable condition of facilities and systems, not normally contained in the annual operating budget. Includes major activities that have a maintenance cycle in excess of one year (e.g., replace roofs, paint buildings, resurface roads).
