DAS provides policy leadership, strategies, and services that help
our customers get their jobs done “Better, Quicker, Cheaper.”
In 1977 the
reorganization of the executive branch of state government established the
Department of Administrative Services (DAS) as the single agency in charge of
providing administrative services to other agencies. The objectives in forming DAS were to take advantage of economics
of scale in service provision and organization, to minimize jurisdictional
problems in the provision of services, to streamline service provision
procedures, and emphasize service over control.
DAS was originally
organized into five coordinated operating units as well as a centralized
support unit in the Commissioner’s Office.
In 1987, the Bureau of Public Works became an independent department.
DAS, as a central agency, must be able to respond to its
customers’ needs quickly and efficiently.
Many opportunities to improve service arose during FY 02-03, and DAS
successfully responded to these challenges with the following actions:
§
Collections Services has as its customers the taxpayers for
whom monies are recovered to relieve the tax burden and the state agencies for
which Collections Services does the billing and collecting for services
provided. Through the expanded use of
technology and creative expansion of revenue opportunities, revenue is
increasing every year, and all targets are being surpassed.
Improvements/Achievements
2002 – 03
·
DAS took the leadership
role in management of the reemployment process of laid off state employees to
insure that the right people were reemployed into the right jobs. This entailed many activities including:
1.
Verifying
the re-employment and bumping rights of 2,800 laid off employees and
coordinating the exercising of their re-employment and bumping rights, some of
which had a statewide reach.
2.
Creating
and validating the official lay-off and reemployment lists.
3.
Developing
a website to provide laid off persons with the information they needed to find
jobs (24/7) and to serve themselves in getting answers to frequently asked
questions plus supplying a way of registering changes to their reemployment
status with DAS.
4.
Partnering
with agencies and unions to organize and conduct Job Fairs to reemploy eligible
employees for approved vacancies as swiftly and fairly as possible.
5.
Offering
outplacement training (interview techniques and resume writing) for employees
affected by lay off.
1.
Studied the actual usage
and mileage of all Fleet vehicles with the result being the recall of 650
vehicles as being under utilized.
2.
An RFP is in process
which will outsource the daily pool.
This will reduce the fleet by an additional 50 vehicles.
3.
We are reviewing the
number of our loaner vehicles with the possibility of reducing them by 150
vehicles.
4.
We are redeploying the
turned in vehicles which will result in only a minimal purchase of vehicles
(specialty vehicles) for the 2004 and 2005 model years.
5.
DAS partnered with the
Department of Transportation in bringing the alternative fuel ethanol (E85)
into the state to be utilized by state-owned alternative fueled vehicles. This will result in an “as yet to be
determined” savings as we will avoid purchasing other higher costing types of
alternative fueled vehicles. (the usage
of alternative fueled vehicles is required by the Federal Energy Policy Act –
EPACT).
·
DAS hosted a summit with
OPM Secretary Ryan, agency commissioners, and agency program administrators on
solutions for addressing the spiraling costs of Workers’ Compensation in state
agencies.
Information Reported as Required by State Statute
Affirmative Action Reporting Requirement
The Department of Administrative Services is
aggressively pursing affirmative action goals in all aspects of its personnel
policies. For DAS (except Procurement
Services) the set-aside goal established for utilization of Connecticut small
businesses was $ 338,910.96. The
actual achievement was $ 395,349.00.
The minority small business goal was $ 84,727.74 and the actual
achievement was $ 57,972.47. Pursuant to Sec. 5-204 of the CGS, the
Commissioner of Administrative Services shall submit to the Governor, giving
information as to:
The fiscal year figures do not include employee turnover or new hire
information from the Department of Education, Public Defenders Office,
