Very Well, Until Thirteen Federal Agencies, Your Governor’s Office, Forty- Seven U.S. Senators, Six Other State Agencies, Seven Labor Unions

You Get What You INSPECT, Not What you EXPECT!!!
Visit Types
1 – Procurement Visit/Year 1 – Admin/File Review/Year 2 – Lead Safe WX/Year At Least 4 Quality Control Reviews/Year At Least 6 Assessment Reviews/Year Look at 10% (800) Homes per Year Visits Timeframes are 3-4 Days Total Assignments are Changed Every Other Year
Desk (electronic) Monitoring
Production Data, SIRs, Unusual Trends Cost per Average Unit for WX Measures Diagnostic Readings Risk Analysis Done Each Year Agencies are Desk Monitored Every Month We Never Used to Track This, But Now…
Assessment Review
Currently 1/3 of Homes Monitored…Now Thinking of Expanding to ½
Look at Homes That Have Been Assessed/Audited, but Work has Not Started
Re-test with Blower Door Examine the Work Order Were the Right Calls Made?
Quality Control
We Pre-Select the Homes Let the Local Agency Pick Out One or Two
Homes That They Would Like You to See Were the Right Calls Made? Is Quality Good? SIRs OK? Is File Complete? Do Work Order, Invoices, Fiscal Detail Match? Diagnostic #s??? How Did We Do? We Do Some Re-Testing With BD
Monitoring Problems
“Friends” The “Hammer” “If I Don’t Find Problems, I Look Good” Good Reviews…Do I really have to get up in
to the attics? Falsification of Records Contractor Skills…More Training
Critical Observations
You Have to Monitor (Field and Desk) Like Never Before!
If You Do Not Have Some Type of Electronic Reporting…Is Monthly Going to Be Enough?
We Will Most Likely have our Accountants Monitor the DBA Wage Payments.
This is Weatherization’s “Call To Duty” We Don’t Want To Be on the News Saying “I
Screwed Up” We Have to Get the Job Done Right 100% of the
Time!!!
And Now…We Take a Journey to the Lighter Side of Life…
