1. 1 Asset Management An Expanded Team Effort Since November 2005 Making Progress at ODOT Update for Asset Management Steering Committee September 29, 2009

2. 2 Our Agenda Review – Where we’ve been Status – Where we are now Next Steps – Where we need to go next  Issues  Possible solutions  Discussion and decision

3. 3 Providing the right information to the right people at the right time for lifecycle management of transportation assets Asset Management

4. 4 1990’s – OTMS in response to ISTEA (1991)  Infrastructure for seven major systems in various stages of development by 1996 2005 – Strategic plan for more comprehensive program adopted 2005 – Prioritized assets and assessments November 2005 – Agreement signed for pilot effort 2006 – Year of the pilot  Asset data from 4 highway segments (75+ mi) within District 3  Statewide perspective on data – need?, get?, integrate?, tools?, who?, implementation? Asset Management Timeline

5. 5 January 2007 - Draft Report on the Pilot  Recommendations for statewide efforts to build capacities 2007 Tech Services Asset Mgmt Task Force established July 2007 - Asset Management Integration Section created 2007 – Inventory work plans developed based on pilot recommendations  Data Collection: Signs; Traffic Barriers; Bike Facilities; Sidewalks; Retaining Walls; Culverts Timeline, continued

6. 6 2008 – Sustain efforts and build for additional:  Data collection continues; prep for other assets  Communication: Circuit Ride; Inside ODOT; web; conferences; webinars 2009 – Making data more accessible  Working for solutions and reporting: Data Warehouse, FACS/STIP Tool & TransInfo efforts; network speeds & optimization 2009 – Yet to come  Governance must reflect movement from planning to implementation Timeline, continued

7. 7 A Year Ago….. We were  Working on and completing inventory plan  Getting ready to tour the regions  Waiting for signs data warehouse project to begin  Developing requirements and contract for TransInfo  Individual asset data owners were the sole source for reporting

8. 8 2007 Plan for Building Asset Inventory Resourced Efforts :   Sustain the “green:”   Bridges   Pavements   ITS Sites   Basic Inventory statewide by Oct. 2008:   Retaining Walls   Culverts   Traffic Barriers   Signs   Basic Inventory by July 2008   Bike/Ped. Facilities

9. 9 Progress Made on Inventory Project started August 2008 – Complete (or almost): R1 & R3; Started: R2 & R4 (est. @ 40- 45%)

10. 10 Circuit Ride & Communications Inside ODOT  Monthly articles since Summer 2008 Visits to all regions began October 2008  Project Delivery and Tech Center teams and staff  Maintenance teams and staff Purpose  Update and inform  Dialogue about AM, future efforts, how it could help and how we could collaborate

11. 11 Findings & Constant Comments Gaps in knowledge of available data or appropriate sources  Accessibility significant issue Interest in data  Culverts, approaches, environmental, etc. Network speeds an impediment in more places than you might think Interest in how efforts impact and/or benefit field staff  Want to be involved, “at the table”

12. 12 Sign Data Warehouse Project Data Warehouse tools used to join data from  ITIS  Multiple district sign databases R4 unable to participate (Cartegraph) Developed initial reporting needs to improve data  Enabled systematic data corrections Preparing sign data for integration into future TransInfo module  Useful tool to prepare other asset data Effort has enhanced team’s understanding of data

13. 13 TransInfo – “The Great Integrator” Replace ITIS & Features Inventory systems with a consolidated system used to enter & maintain data about linear assets.  Exor Corporation has been selected to provide the COTS package Increases in quality control make it easier to manage data & generate reports. Define transportation GIS network locations for state highways. Establish foundation for future Asset Management projects.

14. 14 TransInfo – Steps Map current work processes to validate requirements Contractor began work May 2009 Built network types – highway, route, segment, crew & expense account Building prototype system  Determining best practices for new system  Identification of issues/preliminary data decisions  Extracting data from ITIS & loading into prototype Stakeholder meetings – 4 meeting held to date TransInfo moved to production October 2010

15. 15 Future Benefits to ODOT Upon TransInfo implementation:  Establishes foundation for standardizing statewide highway data Increase the ease and accuracy of reporting Ability to analyze layers of spatial data allowing for proactive approach to project management Efficient use of limited budget and resources

16. 16 Tools for Data Collection Manuals document definitions, methods and tools TDD and Tech Services working together to create pool of tools :  GeoXT’s  Laptops Some new ones acquired Surplus also on hold for deployment  Ron Singh – point person  Next steps Coordination and applications – a must for data that can be integrated and used by others  Ad hoc team formed in August

17. 17 Tools for Reporting Data FACS-STIP Tool  Recognized need to make asset data easily accessible  Phased process to improve upon STIP Scoping Tool – completed or underway: WOC 1: Master Plan WOC 2: Current desktop application to web WOC 3: Requirements for Asset Data to Go WOC 4: Building beta version-Asset Data To Go

18. 18 Breaking Down Data Barriers

19. 19 FACS-STIP Tool The Overall Concept: Current tool to web Expand data availability Populate forms Additional tables allow for appended data through phases (updated maps) Mobility option - “data to go” Regular e-mail notifications to asset owners will enable completion of data cycle

20. 20

21. 21 FACS-STIP Timeline Aggressive schedule! (f ingers still crossed )  June: Three WOCs delivered - Master project plan, desktop application moved to web, requirements for Asset Data To Go  July: Built Asset Data To Go  August: Building and beta testing - Field use & comments  September: Application adjustments  October: Statewide training  November: Ready for scoping  Ongoing: Additional data & updates (web application makes this efficient) Other opportunities  Factored in 1R Program requirements (Roadside Inventory)  Ready to help with MS4 Permit requirements

22. 22 FACS-STIP Tool – Landing Page

23. 23 The FACS-STIP Tool provides asset data to ODOT Staff in a simple-to-use Web Interface. It also provides on-line tools to promote communication using a map reference or convenient spreadsheet export.

24. 24 Asset “Data to Go” Wizard

25. 25 Asset “Data to Go” Report

26. 26 FACS-STIP Tool Feedback Fixes & enhancements (WOC 4):  Emphasis is on fixing known defects Highest priorities for follow-up before roll-out:  Reformat Excel export product  Map option to select Area of Interest  Print map option for scoping packets Highest priorities for future enhancements:  Expand comment feature to capture additional asset information  Ties to other GIS-based efforts, i.e., EDMS

27. 27 Sweet, Suite of Tools Complimentary efforts to provide data that is of interest

28. 28 Asset Management – Other Key Interfaces 1R Program HB 2001  Practical Design Financial Reporting

32. 32 Financial Reporting FSB - for ODOT:  Prepares ODOT Financial Statement  Submits financial information to DAS for State of Oregon report (Comprehensive Annual Financial Report or “CAFR”)  Standards must be complied with Several levels of review and accountability  Includes DAS, Secretary of State, FHWA and other outside governing bodies Compliance ensures  Good rating for bond issuance  Continued receipt of federal funds and grants

33. 33 Financial Reporting Challenges Many folks involved in ODOT’s largest assets  Highways  Structures  Land Current processes, systems and organizational structure make tracking difficult and compromise data integrity  Make compliance with reporting standards a significant challenge

34. 34 Financial Reporting – Musts to Solve Audit findings result in requirements for better lifecycle tracking  Estimates from TRANS*PRT and actuals from CPS and TEAMS  Landing “on the books” Valuing (capitalizing) new – capturing all project outcomes and cost Activities that extend useful life - capturing significant maintenance activities and cost  Depreciating or retiring assets Removing the value on the books for disposed assets

35. 35 Moving Forward Things to consider; things to solve….

36. 36 Patterns for Readiness Building methodology to improve decisions and awareness based on:  Levels of informed decisions Basic inventory and beyond Inspection and update cycles  Asset location methods and tools Standards key for data quality and integration  Experience with data (“sandbox”) Field experience before inventory Using data before system  Just guessing system requirements without it

37. 37 TransInfo Readiness Considerations Asset priority  TransInfo candidate? Good things to do to be ready for migration to TransInfo  General Location data standards  Asset specific Asset data standards Metadata Established governance structure Data warehouse effort to improve data quality  ITIS with multiple sources or single database

38. 38 Potential TransInfo Queue Signs Storm Water Retaining Walls Sound Barriers CHAMPS Interchanges Intersections ITS Equipment Right of Way Traffic Structures Decisions based on: Risk Risk Priority Priority Readiness Readiness

39. 39 Asset Management – Issues & Barriers Networks & impacts on speeds Universal knowledge of data availability and sources Organizational readiness to support enterprise data  Issues of trust  Regions/Salem perceptions  Updating data Data governance  Standards do not necessarily spawn compliance Forums for discussion – broader input  Key in order to make inroads on above (orange)

40. 40 Issues & Barriers - Others Data Warehouse – Sign Data Project  Process requires plan for follow-through Want/need to sustain progress  Statewide data  Ready to migrate data to TransInfo  Fragmented jurisdiction and responsibilities made consistent and sustained effort a challenge Data updates inconsistent  Network or application issues  Resource issues  Inconsistent buy in or expectations

41. 41 Network Speeds/Optimization Slow network and/or application response times impede pace of business in many ODOT offices  Major factors include network topology; applications; equipment compatibilities & business processes (how data is shared) Team assembled (includes IS and Business) to  Pinpoint issues  Assess options  Develop strategies where options exist

42. 42 Network Speeds, continued Challenges  Cost; SDC; regional or city capacities for higher speeds; lack of options; necessary applications (MMS ATC, GIS, MSProject) Corrective Action  Collaboration with SDC Network band-width upgrade project Identifying & prioritizing other possible improvements

43. 43 Other Issues to Solve Active engagement of region staff  Asset data and priorities  Updating and reporting data  Data governance Standards Tools for collecting  Cross-functional/cross-asset conversations Forum for routine communications and decisions Process for understanding readiness in relation to needs for systems work

44. 44 Filling Void for Signs Recruited SAM-IT  Members: David Smith, R1 Ramona Cline, R2 Randy Camp, R3 Pat Creedican, R4 Mike Barry, R5 Joel Fry, Maintenance & Operations Scott King, AMI ???, Tech Services (Dave Greenberg/Greg Stellmach?) ???, IS/GIS

45. 45 SAM-IT vs. SAM Committee Role SAM-IT: Ensure sign data readiness to migrate to statewide system Approve recommendations Ensure resources for follow-through Develop requirements for TransInfo Sign Module SAM: Ensure sign data readiness to migrate to statewide system Prioritize issues Develop recommendations Review and comment on draft requirements for TransInfo Sign Module

46. 46 Too Many Assets Limitations of asset-specific committees  Would result in too many committees  Does not develop cross-asset decision making While SAM-IT solves an immediate need, long-term, the solution should be painted with a broader brush

47. 47 Next Stage Asset Management Implementation Leadership Team  Involve Regions and other divisions Look for ties to other leadership or management teams  Develop processes to ensure broader input Ties to other teams and committees whenever possible  Concept already tested initially with RLT

48. 48 Asset Management - Implementation Leadership Team Membership: AMI Manager Region Tech Center Rep (SD?) Region Maintenance Rep (KK?) Construction Rep Area Manager Rep AM Task Force Rep (PW) AM Task Force Rep (SL) Financial Services (JM/KK) Planning Rep Information Systems Rep Motor Carrier Rep Transportation Data Rep Responsibilities: Communication Advocate Accountability Resource Support for Recommendations: Data Governance Priorities: Inventory Data Systems Tools Issue ID & Resolution Possibility?

49. 49 System Initiatives & Maintenance Current challenges  Prioritization processes exist, but multiple sources still leave questions  Business readiness can be difficult to understand  RFW’s not always used just for maintenance Potential solution is in creating a team to build single prioritization process

50. 50 QUESTIONS?DISCUSSION?

51. 51 Approvals Current Decisions  SAM-IT  Concepts for broader engagement for Asset Management decisions and data governance AM-ILT System initiatives and maintenance prioritization Future Decisions  AM-ILT membership  Process for system initiatives, etc.  TransInfo queue  Funding to sustain current efforts and new initiatives
