TerraGraphics Prepared By: Infrastructure Revitalization Plan Steps for Identifying IRP Projects Starts with an inventory of what you have –Baseline Maps Capture your knowledge of the systems Incorporate typical & industry data Determine what you do not know Identify what you want

TerraGraphics Prepared By: Infrastructure Revitalization Plan Identifying Projects The easy ones

TerraGraphics Prepared By: Infrastructure Revitalization Plan Identifying Projects Ones in question

TerraGraphics Prepared By: Infrastructure Revitalization Plan Identifying Projects Ones you found and proved

TerraGraphics Prepared By: Infrastructure Revitalization Plan Identifying Projects Ones you deal with all the time

TerraGraphics Prepared By: Infrastructure Revitalization Plan Identifying Projects More difficult ones

TerraGraphics Prepared By: Infrastructure Revitalization Plan Identifying Projects Take Away Points: We need your help to identify the projects & understand needs Think beyond “traditional” and “quick-fix”

TerraGraphics Prepared By: Infrastructure Revitalization Plan How to do it –Communicate –Identify Projects –Prioritize –Build support –Invest in critical projects Developing Projects

TerraGraphics Prepared By: Infrastructure Revitalization Plan Prioritizing Projects

TerraGraphics Prepared By: Infrastructure Revitalization Plan Prioritizing Projects Considerations Unique to the IRP The IRP crosses political and geographic boundaries The IRP includes multiple types of infrastructure Priorities change

TerraGraphics Prepared By: Infrastructure Revitalization Plan Prioritizing Projects Steps Define Common Goals Develop criteria to evaluate projects against the goals Rate, weight, rank projects

TerraGraphics Prepared By: Infrastructure Revitalization Plan Prioritizing Projects Examples of Goals “Protect existing investment” “Provide expected level of service to customers” “Comply regulations and avoid fines” “Safeguard the environment” “Protect remedy”
