 BIADOT-Central Office has had on-going issues with
responding to data calls from various entities:
Departmental, Congressional, Other Federal Agencies, etc.
 General mileage, class, surface type, and ownership constitute
a majority of the requests
 “Condition” reports are reported on a quarterly basis, primarily
for the BIA Road Maintenance program
 Level-of-Service for Deferred Maintenance calculation purposes
 GPRA reporting; % Acceptable for Roads & Bridges
 IA-Performance Measures; Goals met/Goals not-met
 Reporting relating to Departmental/Bureau level “Asset
Management” has been a topic of discussion for the past few
years
