Description

The Town of St. Jacques-Coomb's Cove will implement a three-phase Asset Management initiative. Phase 1 includes the development of an Asset Register for fixed infrastructure assets utilizing a geographical information system (GIS) and associated database. The Asset Register will include the Town's water distribution network as well as roads, trails, buildings, facilities and fleet. Phase 2 includes prioritizing the Asset Register in terms of consequence of failure and probability of failure to determine each asset’s risk level. This will allow the Town to focus on highest risk assets first when planning capital projects. Phase 3 includes the development of a Capital Plan and Asset Management Policy document and will end with a workshop for both Council and staff. Multiple workshops will be held with Town staff, providing an opportunity to learn the basics of Asset Management concepts as well as the development of an Asset management Policy which will provide continuity and direction for the ongoing implementation of Asset Management in the future.
