  Presentation:

  This presentation will cover the induction and growth of the City of Omaha Public Works Department Asset Management Program. In alignment with ISO 55000 series of standards and APWA, OPW has implemented an Asset Management System. The system consists of a Policy, Strategic Objectives, a Strategic Asset Management Plan, and outcomes in individual Asset Management Plans. This has been a journey, with several paths of the past programs merging to lead us into the future. Specifically, the presenters will highlight their role in this journey, and foundational outcomes for OPW to continue to build upon. This will include innovations in infrastructure condition assessment and GIS risk modeling to plan O&M strategies and plan for Capital infrastructure renewal needed to protect our community and maintain a high quality of life.
