10. TerraGraphics Prepared By: Infrastructure Revitalization Plan Green Infrastructure Streams, wetlands, etc.

11. TerraGraphics Prepared By: Infrastructure Revitalization Plan Soft Costs & Projects THIS IS THE GAP BETWEEN THE IRP & CONSTRUCTION Facilities Plans Condition Assessments Monitoring Surveying O&M Equipment, Training, Staff

12. 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

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

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

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

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

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

18. 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”

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

20. TerraGraphics Prepared By: Infrastructure Revitalization Plan Prioritizing Projects

21. 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

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

23. 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”

24. TerraGraphics Prepared By: Infrastructure Revitalization Plan Prioritizing Projects BREAK OUT SESSION Goals
