A New Program Focus for GMFAsset Management

An integrated business approach involving planning, finance, engineering and operations to effectively manage existing and new infrastructure to maximize benefits, reduce risk and provide satisfactory levels of service to community users in a socially, environmentally and economically sustainable manner

- from An Asset Management Governance Framework for Canada, National Asset Management Working Group, February 2009.

New GMF Program Focus on Asset Management

• Foundation for improved decision making about infrastructure investments

• Asset management is still a young discipline in Canada, limited uptake in many provinces

• Where it is being done, organizational adoption of asset management is still limited; weak integration with corporate sustainability planning and goals

GMF Leadership in Asset Management Program (LAMP)

Program seeks to address four main barriers that commonly limit integration of asset management with municipal sustainability goals and optimal decisions:

1) Organizational adoption of asset management 2) Linking assets to services and outcomes 3) Developing more robust risk frameworks 4) Incorporating lifecycle management

GMF grant maximum of $175K per participating municipality, to be approved when they are selected to participate (50% of total project costs)

12


Key Feature of LAMP: Combines GMF project funding with a peer learning program Objectives:

• To work together & build a supportive peer network

• To generate innovative, good practices in asset management that demonstrate strong integration with municipal sustainability goals and targets

13

• To develop frameworks, practices and tools that will be shared nationally through FCM/GMF and national AM networks.


Is the program for municipal governments only?

• Yes, only municipal governments are eligible to participate.

Is the program for large municipalities only?

• Seeking a range of municipal sizes, population doesn’t matter

• BUT: minimum project team of 3 municipal staff will be required to participate

Does my municipality need to be advanced in asset management?

• Program has been designed for municipalities at both very early stage or advanced in asset management

• Demonstrated progress in implementing a corporate sustainability plan is required

Is There A Regional Focus ?

• Seeking regional balance across Canada

• 5 – 10 Anglophone municipalities in 2015-16

• 5 – 10 Francophone municipalities in 2016-2017
