• Orange Coast College - Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Accessibility Plan (DEIA)

Orange Coast College's Maintenance and Operations Department has worked to develop a management process for Custodial Services operations that allows them to quantify cleaning costs based on stakeholder expectations and realistic deliverables. OCC has done extensive Facility Assessment work-loading to each building to establish an adequate baseline. From this workload, we have identified opportunities to adopt best practices and optimize the cleaning process. The last part of the assessment was a quality control component that allows management to assess the impact(s) and improvements generated by this process. It will also allow for continued improvement as situations change. The work completed by OCC on this project provides a road map for future facilities management decisions as they relate to staffing, capital equipment requirements, and overall budget requirements.

The outcome of the assessment is Custodial Services now currently operates under HHPC as a full operating Team Cleaning Operation. Under HHPC evening operations staff works with state-of-the-art cleaning technology that staff uses to provide high levels of productivity. Custodial Services has 5 Team Cleaning Teams, each has five full-time employees, who together clean all of Orange Coast College's 1.1 million square feet of cleanable space, including the Coast Community College District Office and Waterfront Campus.
