6. ASSET MANAGEMENT Definition 1: A combination of management, financial, economic, engineering and other practices applied to (physical) assets which has the objective of maximizing the value derived from an asset stock over the whole life cycle, within the context of delivering appropriate levels of service to customers, communities and the environment, and at an acceptable level of risk.

7. ASSET MANAGEMENT Definition 2: Address customers’ immediate service requirements while managing the system assets to meet long-term requirements, reliably, & costs effectively Long-term AM results in: – Increased Asset Life – Decreased Maintenance Costs – Decreased Capital Costs – Permits planned spending based on critical needs. – Allows scarce financial resources to be effectively used. – Potentially increases revenues by revealing opportunities to sell or lease land or retired assets, sell excess capacity, provide outside services, or initiate new business.

8. CHALLENGE! These definitions sound like “motherhood” and “apple pie.” They can apply to all assets. What about CMOM & GASB 34? How can we achieve these goals for water and sewer underground infrastructure?

9. FUNDAMENTALS 1. What is the current state of my assets? – Inventory assets – Assess condition – Determine residual level – Determine replacement cost & date Answer 5 Core Questions

10. FUNDAMENTALS 2. What is the required level of service? 3. Which assets are critical to sustain performance? 4. What are the best O&M and CIP strategies? 5. What is the best funding strategy? Answer 5 Core Questions

11. WATER & SEWER Underground Infrastructure Systems Out-of-sight; Out-of-mind Taken for granted by all Our message: We keep emphasizing that our buried infrastructure systems are the life support systems for society-arteries, blood vessels & nerve systems that determine our quality of life and economic development/stability. THE BIG CHALLENGE! How do we get key political decision makers to listen

12. WATER & SEWER CHAMPION Mayor Shirley Franklin – Atlanta Atlanta Journal-Constitution – July 15, 2002 Atlanta eager to develop world-class sewer system People worldwide dream of living in a community with clean water, plentiful jobs and affordable housing. Over the Next 12 years, Atlanta will make its largest investment ever in such a dream. To assure high water quality and long-term economic stability for ourselves, our children and grandchildren, we are embarking on a $3B sewer improvement program. Most of this investment is required under a federal court order --- it is our opportunity to develop a world-class sewer system

13. WATER & SEWER CHAMPION Mayor Shirley Franklin – Atlanta Highlights from a speech on 10/16/02 on “Clean Water Atlanta” The future of Atlanta depends on: Economic growth; Jobs for all who want to work; Keeping the city an affordable place to live; and An attractive and affordable quality of life --- (all of these) depend on clean water.

14. WATER & SEWER CHAMPION Clean Water Atlanta is --- our long-term program to ensure our future Our responsibility to have a sewer system that works; our responsibility for clean streams and rivers --- we owe this to our neighbors, to our children and to the environment. It is our responsibility to future generations.

15. MAYOR FRANKLIN When it comes to sewers and clean water, I’m not interested in delay. We’ve already had too much delay in Atlanta. I’m not interested in short term solutions. We’ve already had too many band-aids in Atlanta. I’m not interested in easy answers. We’ve avoided the tough decisions for too long in Atlanta Highlights “Clean Water Atlanta” Speech

16. MAYOR FRANKLIN The “Sewer Mayor” Not just talk – she is a mayor of action! Implemented “Clean Water Atlanta” Comprehensive, long-term plan to ensure clean drinking water, clean streams for Atlanta and downstream neighbors Achievement of “Best-in-Class” rating Formed the Department of Watershed Management (DWM) Drinking water Sanitary sewer Storm sewer

17. MAYOR FRANKLIN The “Sewer Mayor” Appointed a highly qualified DWM Commissioner The charge: Highest quality water at the lowest cost in the shortest time frame Must seek out innovative solutions: Management Financial Technical

18. THE CHALLENGES OF ATLANTA’S DWM gave birth to…. BAMI Buried Asset Management Institute What is in the name? BAMI’s focus will be on underground infrastructure Our underground infrastructure are assets These assets must be managed properly to provide customers with expected services at the lowest cost

19. Buried Asset Management Institute – International Inspired by Atlanta’s Mayor, Shirley Franklin. Started in January 2003 as a part of DWM (Department of Watershed Management) under the leadership of Commissioner Jack Ravan June 2004, it evolved into a non-profit organization BAMI – I

20. December 2004, first Official BOD 2005, developed and submitted proposal for EPA cooperative agreement 2006, EPA accepted BAMI-I’s proposal 2007, Research team was formed and work was initiated Presentations has been made in numerous conferences, workshops and seminars. December 18, 2008, dateline for research project BAMI – I

21. BAMI – I Mission Statement To provide a center of excellence for owners of underground water infrastructure to join with industry and researchers, using sound science, to evaluate and/or develop buried asset management protocols for application worldwide to benefit ratepayers and other stakeholders by: Protecting public health Improving the environment Maximizing asset life-cycle value Sustaining economic development Enhancing the quality of life

22. Through the years EPA is leading the action to provide better water and wastewater service to the community EPA currently sponsors initiatives to promote the use of asset management, including educational materials, technical assistance, and research. “Establishing a Pathway for Achieving Water Utility Infrastructure Management Excellence” EPA Grant - CP 83 282901-1 EPA GRANT

23. Assist with the development of transparent Asset Management standards; Establish of an international consortium for the development of a center of excellence for Asset Management; Establish a virtual, national clearinghouse of Asset Management information; Conduct municipal forums as focus groups on the need of Asset Management in maximizing ratepayers’ return on infrastructure investment. EPA PROJECT OBJECTIVES

24. Project Manager: Jack Ravan, Executive Director, BAMI-I Will coordinate BAMI-I activities with U.S. EPA Grant Management Team, consultants, affiliates, etc. Project Director: Tom Iseley, President of the BAMI-I Board of Directors Assist Project Manager with all aspects of the EPA grant project on an as-needed basis.
