Port of San Diego, California
The San Diego Unified Port District (District) is a small district that owns and manages every type of infrastructure typically found in cities, including pavement, buildings, parks, water/wastewater, storm water, trees, sidewalks, and more. The District also has numerous shipping and real estate tenants that depend on the District's high and reliable infrastructure service. It is critical for the District to confidently understand the future infrastructure reinvestment needs.
Concerned about aging infrastructure and increasing service level expectations, the District embarked on developing an asset management program. Between its pavement, park, piers, wharves, and facilities, the District wanted to understand the current and future infrastructure needs. This required the District to develop an asset management plan for the major infrastructure systems.
The District contracted Kayuga to perform asset inventory, condition assessment, risk analysis, and life cycle cost analyses to help determine the future infrastructure reinvestment needs and also to help prioritize them by risk. The assessment of the District’s facilities and parks included reviewing existing asset data (existing database, engineering drawings, maintenance data), inventorying assets, taking photos of the assets, and performing on-site condition assessment. The collected asset information was converted into a centralized asset database, the asset register. Utilizing Kayuga’s IRIS, life cycle analysis of each asset was performed. For every year, assets requiring maintenance, rehabilitation, and/or replacement was identified.
In addition to developing asset management plans, the District wanted a transparent and consistent way to prioritize CIP projects. Every year, projects from separate asset management systems were competing for the same budget. The District needed a simple yet effective way to compare, contrast, and prioritize the needs of each project from a District-wide perspective. Kayuga Solution developed a methodology and tool to assist the District with their CIP project prioritization process. The CIP project validation and prioritization methodology helped to consistently and transparently validate the necessity of CIP projects and prioritize them based on set evaluation criteria (e.g., cost, risk, benefit, urgency, strategic goals). With the CIP Project Validation and Prioritization Tool, the Port was able to identify the top priority investment needs and effectively communicate the need to the Board.
