Budget Request 2019-2020
Detailed Decision Package
Public Works - Facilities
Facilities Condition Assessment
Provide funding to complete condition
assessments on all City-owned buildings.
Background
Many of the City’s
facilities (buildings) are in need of some sort of maintenance that goes beyond
routine work that can be completed by City staff. However, there has never been complete
inspections of the facilities or a prioritized repair and replacement plan developed
for any of the facilities.
Current situation
The lack of a facility assessment and plan places significant financial risk on the City as it could lead to costly, unplanned emergency repairs.
Proposed solution
The Public Works
Department has begun a process to develop asset management plans or strategies
for all types of city infrastructure. It
is proposed to provide money in the budget to hire a consultant or contractor to
complete comprehensive condition assessments on all City-owned buildings for
incorporation into the Department’s asset management plan. The plan will include a prioritized schedule
of repair and replacement that can be incorporated into the City’s financial
plan.
