The Pleasanton City Council on Tuesday will receive an update on the city’s first-ever Asset Management Plan, an inventory of the city’s more than 200,000 assets and their condition that is intended to help officials better budget for future infrastructure costs.
As part of that presentation, staff will also present an update on the programming strategy for the city’s Capital Improvement Program; the strategy will serve as the framework for developing the Capital Improvement Program for the next five fiscal years.
“The strategy is intended to ensure that available resources are directed to infrastructure needs where they can provide the greatest reduction in risk and improvement in service reliability, while also recognizing opportunities to extend asset life, bundle projects, leverage alternative funding and manage the consequences of deferral,” staff stated in Tuesday’s agenda packet.Â
It’s been just over two years since the council contracted with Kayuga Solutions, an infrastructure asset management consulting firm, to develop the Asset Management Plan. According to the staff report, the plan is meant to “better understand the condition, risk and replacement needs” of the city’s infrastructure.
Since then, the firm has completed two of the plan’s three phases: taking inventory of the city’s assets and infrastructure and assessing the condition of those assets and figuring out their estimated lifecycles. The costs of replacements were also included in developing the management plan.
The council received an update on those first two phases at its Dec. 16 meeting. Staff previously indicated they would return this year to provide an update on the third phase of implementation, as well as information on how the data from the plan will be used to inform Capital Improvement Program development for non-enterprise city assets.
“The City’s asset management data demonstrates a gap between identified infrastructure needs and available funding,” the staff report said. “The proposed CIP Programming Strategy provides a structured approach to managing this gap by connecting asset condition and risk information with treatment decisions, council-approved project prioritization, funding availability and citywide investment balancing.”
The City Council meeting is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 6. The full agenda can be accessed here.
