Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment

Email EVsupport@isd.lacounty.gov for all issues related to outages and repairs.

If users need support on how to use the PowerFlex app or the charging stations, they should contact Support@powerflex.com.

Customer needs to complete form Request Chargers and email to EVSErequests@isd.lacounty.gov.

ISD will send the Customer a quote for the initial site inspection based on information identified on the form, and will contact Customer to explain the cost of the initial assessment and what it includes. The Customer will then fill out a Service Request (SR) for the cost of the site inspection via email to EVSErequests@isd.lacounty.gov.

After the initial assessment, if the department wants project implementation to move forward, ISD will provide a quote for services to the Customer along with an Service Level Agreement (SLA). Once the SLA is signed and costs are approved, ISD will work with Customer on a project implementation timeline.

Unlike traditional departments that are fully funded through the budgeting process, the Clean Transportation activities are not. To close the gap on funding short falls the ISD Clean Transportation Team will cover its costs for services by charging fees, effective immediately. Therefore, when you complete a form to Request Chargers, ISD also needs to receive a funded Service Request, with payment information allowing ISD to charge your account when services are completed.

If ISD receives grants or Net County Cost (NCC) funding, the Clean Transportation Team may be able to co-fund a portion of the work. Customers can decide to include project costs in their department budget requests or request that ISD include the project cost in the next round of NCC requests.

ISD Fleet has installed an array of numbered lockers just outside their main office at 1104 N. Eastern Ave., Door # 45, Second Floor, L.A., 90063.

Each of the lockers is secured by a combination lock and a knob that latches the door. The combination is a four-digit number which is set by ISD Fleet staff.

When notified by ISD Fleet staff that license plates, registration tabs/cards, and other documents are available, Fleet staff will provide the recipient with the four-digit combination for the locker in which their documents are located.

The recipient can come to the ISD Fleet office anytime between the hours of 7:00 am and 5:00 pm Monday – Friday and use the four-digit combination to unlock the locker, turn the knob clockwise to open the locker, retrieve their documents, sign the receipt, place the receipt back in the locker and latch the door by turning the knob counter-clockwise. Spinning the combination dials then locks it and Fleet staff will retrieve the receipt when they arrive at the office. The combination is then changed for the next customer.

Conversely, if the customer needs to drop off documents, keys, etc., they can call the ISD Fleet Services office at (323) 881-3919 and get the combination to an unused locker in which to drop off their items and Fleet staff will retrieve them upon their arrival to the office.

The SLA covers preventative maintenance from our regional offices, such as the changing of air filters in HVAC systems, and small dollar repairs, currently up to $2,500. Maintenance and repairs that are not specifically cited in the SLA matrix, and those in the matrix that are above $2,500 need to be funded individually by the customer department.

Services from our specialty support teams such as painting, roofing, concrete, etc., are not covered in the SLA and require individual funding through Service Requests.

In terms of your 12-month billable rate, the Auditor-Controller currently requires ISD to use a three-year historical average of actual costs for each department. Therefore, each year, your 12-month billable rate gets adjusted by re-calculating a new three-year average.

See How Do I Submit a Service Request for Services Not Covered by the SLA?

Maintenance & Operations (M&O) provides a variety of preventative maintenance and repair services to keep your building systems running in a reliable manner. M&O has four district locations to be close to your buildings throughout the County that provide electrical, plumbing, HVAC and general maintenance.

What Goes into ISD’s rates?

Annually, ISD establishes rates that are charged to customers through a review of previous costs, increases in County costs (e.g., health benefits and wages), and changes in service demands from customers. For the complete customer rate handbook of charges, please click here…

Why does it seem like ISD’s costs are so much higher?
Most departments are managed through a traditional budget that is established at the start of the year, and then spending is managed within that budget. ISD is not designed that way. ISD is designed like a business that must generate revenue from customers to pay for the costs to deliver services.

When departments ask “Why does ISD staff cost so much more than ours?”, they are making an apples to oranges comparison. A traditionally budgeted department tends to only look at the cost of staff. ISD also must include everything else it takes to run ISD. Therefore, the rate ISD charges include costs to do your work and costs to support it. For a sample of how customers are charged for direct and indirect costs, please click on this sample rate breakdown for Craft Services.

The Planning & Administration team in Operations is known as “PLAD” and provides financial management and controls for Operations Services. PLAD Provides:

  1. Charges for Services – PLAD assists with funding services through Service Requests (SRs), Departmental Service Orders (DSOs), and other ways in which customers pay for services.
  2. Rate Setting – PLAD establishes direct and indirect rates for customers in each of the operations divisions (See section below on rates)

Program & Project Management Division assigns a Project Manager to oversee each project. The Project Manager meets regularly with the customer department to discuss project statuses and answer any inquiries.

AD HOC inquiries regarding active projects, customer departments please submit your inquiry to:  PPMinquiry@isd.lacounty.gov.

PM manages projects for two areas: Facility Reinvestment Program (FRP), and Customer Funded. For either areas, PPM only manages projects for existing buildings. Currently, PPM does not do new construction. BOS approvals work differently for each area, summarized below:

Facility Reinvestment Program
Customer Funded Projects

Customer Funded Projects. There are two types of customer funded projects. One type is for a refurbishment or replacement of a building system, and another type is for a large-scale maintenance work on a building system. While they seem similar, the law and BOS policy treats them differently in terms of required approvals.

  • Refurbishment/Replacement – If you have a refurbishment or replacement project that you are funding from your department budget that is less than $100,000, then it does not need BOS approval. Refurbishment/replacement projects that have an overall value of $100,000 or greater require BOS approval for the construction work via a Board Letter. ISD will lead the Board Letter process with input from the customer department, County Counsel, the CEO and then the BOS itself. Please note, the law was changed to allow this threshold to go up to $330,000, and ISD is working to get the needed changes to allow this new threshold to be used.
  • Maintenance Projects – The law does not require the BOS to approve maintenance projects. However, it is BOS policy to notify them via memo of maintenance projects that are $150,000 or greater. ISD also leads this process for the customer, by providing a written memorandum of the scope of work and the customer department. By practice, ISD allows a period for feedback from the BOS prior to commencing with the work.

Space Planning services are provided by the Space Planning Unit within the OPS/Program and Project Management Planning Section. The unit can provide space planning, floor layouts, design and estimated services for customers seeking highest and best use for their County owned or leased space. The Space Planning Unit has particular expertise in systems furniture used for most County office-based operations.

Customers should direct requests for space planning assistance to Planning Section Manager Alex Huang via email at AHuang@isd.lacounty.gov or call (562) 413-1165).

A customer can request a Facility Condition Assessment or obtain a Building Assessment Report directly from the Program & Project Management – Facility Condition Assessment Section:

Alex Huang, Section Manager
Facility Condition Assessment
AHuang@isd.lacounty.gov
(323) 607-1091 (office)
(562) 413-1165 (mobile)

Upon review of a Building Assessment Report, or any other Assessment related data, if a Customer Department has follow-up questions, they are encouraged to reach out to the Facility Condition Assessment Section Manager using the above listed contact information. Customer inquiries regarding existing assessment data, or to request a dedicated field visit to validate a specific building condition are welcome as they can often result in an opportunity to improve our baseline assessment data.

PPM has developed the PROJECT REQUEST form for customers to request project estimates.  Along with the Project Request form, ensure to include a completed Service Request form, available project information, and Initial Service Request (if required) should be submitted via email to ProjectRequest@isd.lacounty.gov and cc customercenterops@isd.lacounty.gov

Upon receipt of your PROJECT REQUEST, our PPM will contact you within 72-hours to engage your Department and begin our work on your Project Request.

There are several services provided in the PROJECT REQUEST form to initiate the request for an estimate:

  1. Preliminary Project Consultation: 30-minute Teams meeting with a Design Manager for Q&A session if ISD can work on a potential.
    1. Budget Consultation: 30-minute Teams meeting with an Estimator for a Rough Order Magnitude (ROM) estimate on a potential proposal for ISD
  2. Programming Package: SR for $5,000 dollars MUST BE ATTACHED with PROJECT REQUEST to initiate
  3. Space Planning Project: SR for initial $5,000 dollars MUST BE ATTACHED with PROJECT REQUEST to initiate

The process summarized below is for customer funded projects managed by PPM. A typical Board Letter will go through various levels of reviews before submittal to the Board of Supervisors for approval. The steps are described below.

  1. ISD writes the first draft of the Board Letter based on the scope of work, and any legal requirements based on the project. For example, the project may trigger a CEQA review or Civic Arts requirements.
  2. ISD provides the draft to the customer department for review and edits. The customer department provides the rationale, funding information and the benefits of the project.
  3. ISD shares the Board Letter draft with the CEO Finance Office related to the customer department funding for verification of fund availability and scope review.
  4. ISD shares the draft with County Counsel to review legal requirements pertaining to the work.
  5. ISD then conducts an internal readiness review through the ISD Director’s Office to ensure the Board Letter is ready for Board Office reviews.
  6. ISD files the Board Letter through the CEO’s Office to be placed on the appropriate BOS Cluster Agenda. ISD and a representative from the customer department attend the Cluster meeting to present and/or answer any questions about the Board Letter.
  7. ISD then files the Board Letter to go to the Board Agenda. If there were questions or actions in the Cluster Meeting, ISD works with the customer department first to resolve those issues, then moves it to the BOS agenda.

The Program & Project Management Division (PPM) provides construction project management for large scale refurbishment, renovation and modernization of current County buildings. Services include:

  • Facility Reinvestment Program – PPM serves as the County-wide Program Manager for the Facility Reinvestment Program (FRP), which is a centrally funded program by the CEO to improve the overall condition of County owned assets. The FRP focuses on building systems such as HVAC, roofing, plumbing, and electrical systems that are determined to be in the most severe condition.
  • Customer Funded Projects – PPM also provides project management for the delivery of JOC projects that are funded directly by customers who have repairs and modernization that fall outside of the FRP program, and projects customer elect to do that may quality for the FRP but the customer may want to do them sooner.
  • Facility Assessments – PPM is the central home of assessing the condition of County buildings, mainly for the purpose of establishing a prioritization score for projects in the FRP. The Facility Assessment team’s work is also beneficial for customer departments that may not be eligible for FRP funding, or seeking to establish capital investment plans based on the priorities of conditions.
  • Space Planning – PPM offers space planning services for both County-owned and leased facilities. The team assists customers as they grow, change, lease or decrease their footprint as the result of telework. Space planning is led by an architect team of experts in space design.

Special Services

The Estimate Request Form has a designated area for customers to include as much detailed information as possible for your event. The information provided will assist our team of event specialists to quote your services and estimate costs as closely aligned to the actual costs for the day.

Once customers submit the Estimate Request Form, the Special Services team may need to discuss and go over your event request details further to ensure all details are covered. They may also need to conduct a “Job Walk” with you or a designated representative if the site or the set-up requested is unique.

A two (2) week minimum advance notice will assist Special Services with planning accordingly.

  • Once all the details are confirmed, customers will receive an Event Cost Estimate for your event via the e-mail address provided on the Event Request Form.
  • User Guide
  • Need to make an emergency request?
