To obtain a smog check from an ISD Vehicle Service Center, please call the appropriate ISD Fleet Service Center to confirm your vehicle needs a smog check and, if so, make an appointment. In most cases you will be able to wait while the smog check is performed.

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.

ISD has three (3) regional maintenance offices, and one (1) central team service for the Civic Center that houses electrical, plumbing, Heating Ventilation & Air Conditioning (HVAC), elevator and other recurring maintenance services. There are twelve (12) categories of building systems that are maintained in a basic Service Level Agreement (SLA) by these teams. The SLA matrix provides a detailed breakdown of each of these categories, subcomponents within each category, and what is covered with the SLA for each category.
If it is cited in the SLA matrix, then it is covered in your twelve (12) -month billable services with ISD. The matrix also provides categories of areas that are not included in the SLA regardless of amount, such as vandalism and other issues that are not normal within the course of maintaining a building.
Specialty Support and Repair
In addition to the services offered by the regional maintenance teams, ISD has two (2) support teams that specialize in infrequent services, specialty services and larger maintenance projects. Services include areas such as painting, roofing, concrete, generators, insulation and mold remediation among others.

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.
- 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.
- 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.
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.
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).

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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- ISD shares the draft with County Counsel to review legal requirements pertaining to the work.
- ISD then conducts an internal readiness review through the ISD Director’s Office to ensure the Board Letter is ready for Board Office reviews.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Unlike traditional departments that are fully funded through the budgeting process, ISD covers its costs for services like a business by charging fees for our services.
Therefore, ISD needs to receive what is called “A funded Service Request” which provides payment information for ISD to use when the event has concluded and charge your account.
