City of San Mateo, California
The City of San Mateo is currently enhancing its asset management practices to promote effective use of financial and physical resources, and to develop a proactive approach to asset management. To support this endeavor, the City decided to improve asset management practices at the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). The asset management enhancement work focused on improving maintenance management practices. By optimizing the maintenance work practices through implementation and effective use of the City’s Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS), the City was able not only to proactively manage its assets, but also to manage them by maximizing the reduction of risk and life cycle cost.
The first step to making better use of the CMMS was to build the asset database. There were very few WWTP assets in the CMMS. In order to inventory the assets, Kayuga Solution developed the appropriate protocol for asset identification/definition, data standards, replacement value, criticality, useful life, and refurbishment activities and replacement timing. In addition, condition assessments were performed to gain an understanding of the current state of the assets, and to identify assets requiring maintenance and rehabilitation/replacement work.
The following general tasks were performed to help enhance the maintenance practices at WWTP:
With the WWTP assets inventoried and necessary asset data attributes collected, that data will be uploaded into CMMS. In addition, a procedure will be implemented to ensure assets acquired in future project upgrades and improvement projects are identified and assimilated into the CMMS. The development of a budget-based forecasting model used for asset replacement will be based on the criticality, condition, and redundancy of any given asset.

The following general tasks were performed to help enhance the maintenance practices at WWTP:
- Provided maintenance supervision and guidance
- Reviewed current maintenance practices and developed improvement strategies
- Provided maintenance training
- Configured CMMS to align with best asset management and maintenance practices
- Developed performance indicators and schedule to track improvements
