Facility Revolving Fund

The State of Tennessee's Facility Revolving Fund (FRF) was created by T.C.A. 9-4-901 et seq., and is to be administered by the Commissioner of Finance and Administration with oversight/approval by the State Building Commission. State tenants occupying space in state-owned or leased facilities assigned to FRF are charged a square footage rate established by the Department of Finance & Administration and approved by the State Building Commission. Currently, there are 135 state-owned and 376 leased facilities assigned to the FRF program. As occupants of FRF space, tenants are entitled to various services.

FRF Services are provided or coordinated by three (3) primary service providers:

  • The Department of Finance & Administration, through its Real Property Management Division, directly provides or coordinates the provision of all space needs analysis and design, leasing of facilities, tenant relocation and annual evaluation of the FRF rate structure.

  • The Department of Finance & Administration, through its Capital Projects Management Division, coordinates the provision of all capital improvements to and new construction of state-owned space included in FRF. Bond financing of projects such as the Tennessee Tower Renovation and attendant debt service are the responsibility of F & A and the Comptroller's Office.

  • The Department of General Services, through its Property Services Management Division, directly provides or coordinates the provision of all day-to-day operations, maintenance (routine, operational, and major), and management services for all state-owned or leased space included in the FRF. Major maintenance (>$100,000) requires the approval of the State Building Commission.

Facilities Surveys

The 501.01 budget for FY 02-03 was $41.0 million while the 501.02 budget for FY 02-03 was $1.7 million.
