part. Unfortunately, the replacement is rarely completed. This can leave the
inactive building or facility in an extremely degraded condition.
Additionally, when the facility is ready for activation, it may be difficult
to identify what specific parts or components have been borrowed. Finally,
needed parts may no longer be available. All of this can result in an
excessive cost to repair a facility prior to reactivation. To preclude this
problem, the maintenance management organization should establish policies and
appropriate checks to ensure borrowing does not become commonplace.
Types of Facility Inspections.
The following paragraphs provide
3.1.2
brief descriptions of the key facility inspection actions. Further
information on the Navy's shore facility inspection system can be found in
NAVFAC MO-322.
Operator Inspection. Operator inspection generally refers to the
3.1.2.1
routine examination, lubrication, and minor adjustment of equipment and
systems to which a specific operator has been assigned. Additionally, it
includes any effort by an operator to identify equipment or system problems
that can be corrected through maintenance by either the operator or
maintenance technicians. These inspection logs should be consulted prior to
inactivation or closure to identify potential problems or changes to the
system.
3.1.2.2
Preventive Maintenance Inspection. Preventive maintenance
inspection is defined as routine examination, lubrication, and minor
adjustment of equipment and systems not otherwise assigned to full-time
operators.
Control Inspection. Control inspections are scheduled examinations
3.1.2.3
or tests to determine the material condition of a facility, piece of
equipment, or system. They are normally accomplished by activity caretaker
personnel or contractors. The results of these inspections are the primary
input to the Annual Inspection Summary (AIS) and are used to generate
corrective maintenance job orders (see para. 3.2.3). OPNAVINST 11010.34B
provides detailed guidance on preparing an AIS.
Specialized Inspection. A specialized inspection is a scheduled
3.1.2.4
examination of systems of components that require specialized expertise or
equipment to determine their condition. The specialized inspection program is
administered by NAVFAC EFDs. Results of specialized inspections should be
integrated with findings of the control inspection program in order to
determine overall facility condition.

Caretaker Maintenance Planning
Maintenance Action Plan. In accordance with the Navy's Maintenance
3.2.1
Management System, every Navy activity is required to develop a plan to
accomplish its maintenance actions. This maintenance action plan should
