Municipal Infrastructure

The Canadian Oxford Dictionary: infrastructure as the basic structural foundation of a society or enterprise; roads, bridges, sewers, etc. regarded as a country's economic foundation City of Edmonton: all the physical assets developed and used by the City to support the communitys social and economic activities Community infrastructure

Municipal Infrastructure

Classifications

Linear and non-linear Surface and sub-surface Tax supported, self-financing and quasicommercial or blended (CWF New Tools for New
Times, 2006)

Community public infrastructure (CPI)

Stationary and movable Office buildings, fire hall, storage facilities, arena, recreation centres, water and sewage facilities and solid waste disposal etc.

Asset Classifications

Why Municipal Infrastructure?

Livable and healthy place Safety Economic prosperity Quality of life In Canada, municipal infrastructure worth $1.1 trillion, approximately 20% of total built asset of $5.5 trillion (NRC) Municipal assets are economic backbone and extremely high-value assets that cannot be allowed to deteriorate or misuse

Infrastructure demand $90 billion (Infrastructure Canada)

Municipal Infrastructure Issues

Municipalities are spending $12 - $15 billion/year on maintenance and rehab

(FCM)

(CSCE 2003)

Huge backlog Current funding level will deficit $1 trillion in 60 years (CSCE 2003)

Municipal Infrastructure Issues

Aging of infrastructure 28% of Canadas infrastructure is over 80 years old, and only 41% is under 40 years old
(CSCE 2003)

(CSCE 2003)

Municipal Infrastructure Issues

Infrastructure gap $50 to $125 billion, 6-10 times of current annual infrastructure budget Deferred maintenance for Big Sixes $564 million (2003 CWF) First Nations will cost $475 - $560 million (2003 CAN$) to address risks for water and wastewater assets Estimated cost for upgrading Canadian sewer infrastructure is $11.8 billion (2003)
12

MIIP Survey Results

NRC-MIIP survey (2004) results:

Total 67 municipalities of over 5000 peoples Questionnaire based on Six Whats 70% spending less than 2% on maintenance 28% do not have system to record asset value Assets were rated as 2.9 or good to fair from range of 1 to 7 ratings 50% of the assets were at least 30 years old, in 10 years 75% will be +30 years old Represents 32% of Canadian population
13

Infrastructure at Stake

Water main breaks: Avg. 700 breaks per day in Canada and USA ($3,000 per repair) Walkerton tragedy: E. coli 0157:H7 outbreak in Walkerton. Cost $64 million Peterborough flood in 2004: Damage cost $20 to $40 million. Compensation $500/ household and $2500/ small business Basement flooding: 30,000 to 40,000 events /year, average cost $3,000 - $5,000 /events (CMHC 2004)
14

We Actually Need

Accountability

Customer (demand and service) Staff (Fiscal responsibility, health and safety) Environment (regulatory compliance) Minimize health and safety tragedies/incidents Reduce liability claims Longer term (cradle to grave) Reserve funding
15

Risk Management

Asset Sustainability

So the Challenges are...

Infrastructure demand and population growth Aging of infrastructure and condition deterioration Infrastructure deficit Service level improvement Lack of integrated systems/tools and consistent approach Inadequate funding Organizational restructuring
16

How These Challenges Can be Addressed

Identify maintenance, rehab and renewal needs Increase systems capacity and extend service life Stewardship of the environment Define levels of service (LOS) Ensure financial sustainability Implement Asset Management Plan (based on Six Whats)
17

Need for Change

Asset management needs some reorganization of public agencies function Traditional design-build- operate-maintain approach is simply inadequate in the face of current dilemma Adoption of asset management principles and tools (IT tools and financial regulations)

18

Evolution of Asset Management

In early 1900s design and durability issues, versatile structures After World War II, reliability issues and maintenance for mechanical and electrical equipments In 1960s green movements, LCC and LCM In 1970s and 1980s PMS, CMMS and WO In 1990s IT tools, CMMS, CMMS to AMS, GIS and GPS 2000 ~ Integrated systems

What do You Think?

Clerks/municipal employees - data

recording and reporting using General Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)

Directors of finance strategic financial

plan

Utility directors/supervisors - maintain

the utilities and manage work order systems

IT directors software, hardware, integrated

systems and database management
20

What is Asset Management?

What is your definition? NRC, FHWA and IIAM (Australia) Asset Management is a systematic process of planning, operating, maintaining, upgrading and replacing assets cost effectively with minimum risk and at the expected levels of service over the assets life cycle

21

Asset Management Benefits

Two fold benefits:

Reduce cost Extend life

(Life cycle)

22

Asset Management Benefits

Another benefit is to increase the levels of service
Service Expected

Service Levels

Service Agreed/LOS Service Provided Service Gap

Levels of Service is a compromise between existing and expected service levels

Service Items
Levels of Service (LOS)

Balance between cost, risk and LOS

Risk

23

Simple Questions?

Simple questions but

Is there anything wrong? What is wrong? What should we do? How do we fix it? What will the benefits be? How much will it cost and how do we pay for it? How can we be more proactive?

Asset Valuation and Management Drivers

Corporate

Enhance accountability & responsibility (insurance) Satisfy emerging legislative issues Strategic investment decision-making for short & long term Manage future growth & demand Stabilize Rates / Reserves
39

Engineering & Operations

Finance

Asset Valuation Methods

Methods Book Value, Historical Costs Written down replacement cost Advantages Data available Simple method Compares replacement options Disadvantages Does not account for any changes as: price, technology and usability Accurate condition/ performance data required Misleads when an old asset behaves like good condition as new asset

Current replacement Straight forward value (CRV) Reflects current condition Identify backlogs Net salvage value Optimized replacement cost Uses for available data (service life, material usages) Optimized for service life and condition Reflects actual costs and benefits

Difficult to predict future cost and asset usage Impacts for uncertainties like condition, performance and economic factors

Asset Valuation - User vs Owner

Economics Unit costs based on: area, length, diameter, material, capacity etc. Service life (design life, expected life, age, remaining life) Condition & performance Depreciation factors Salvage value
42

Levels of Service

Important considerations

What are the services? What are the standards? What are the target levels of service?

Levels of Service is a qualitative or quantitative measure to describe how well or poorly a service is provided by the asset or network of assets based on the assets intended purpose within the capacity and satisfactory performance
43

Performance Indicators

Performance Measured Criteria Key Performance Indicators (KPI)

Asset information Stakeholders Condition and performance Operational/maintenance Service quality Financial
44

Key Factors

System performance (capacity, remaining service life, condition) Serviceability Impact (disruptions in daily life) Risk tolerance level (health, safety and other direct and indirect costs) Long-term impact (environmental and other intangible impacts) Operation and Maintenance cost (life cycle basis)
45

Establishing LOS
Review Organizational Objectives/Vision Understand the Asset (inventory, condition and performance) Determine Customer Expectations (demand, growth) Identify Required Measures for Levels of Service Assess and Quantify Risk Test Affordability (budget planning and forecasting) Select KPIs and Set Target Level of Services Policy and Implementation
