Therefore, in a workshop setting, the KCI team will facilitate discussions centered around the City's managers and staff current understanding of asset management principles and concepts. The KCI team will ask AM relevant questions, document the discussion, and identify AM maturity gaps. 2.2: ASSET MANAGEMENT POLICY AND AM OBJECTIVES DEVELOPMENT The KCI team develops and documents the following foundational elements of a SAMP: an asset management policy, objectives, and strategies. The AM Policy is typically a one -to -three -page document that lays out priorities, commitments, and support required by City directors and elected officials. The AM Policy is critical to the development and continued support and funding required to sustain the development of an Asset Management Program. KCI will facilitate workshops to review the City's and Management's vision and AM goals. The objectives and strategies are more tactical and begin unfolding how the City will meet the vision for the AM Program. Examples will be shared with the City to foster conversation, AM policy, objectives, and strategies defined by the City will guide development of the AM framework. During this work session, the group will also discuss potential barriers and roadblocks, which can influence asset management decision -making. 411 Ali 4 CII] &I4;tl Ili 3 KCI will facilitate levels of service (LOS) workshops consisting of key stakeholder groups from each of the City's RFP defined "Service Profiles'; an informational LOS presentation will kick off each of the workshops. KCI will compile and organize the input from each workshop to produce draft Levels of Service. KCI and the management team will review and adjust as needed to align with the City's vision. Deliverables • Stakeholder interview notes (MS Word) • Draft AM Policy and presentation (MS PowerPoint) • Draft AM Objectives and presentation (MS PowerPoint) • Draft Levels of Service and presentation (MS Word) TASK 3: STRATEGIC ASSET MANAGEMENT PLAN (SAMP) 3.1: ASSET MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK This task aims to build upon the current way of doing business and envelop it in a strategic, written framework. The Institute of Asset Management (IAM) provides suggested content guidelines for SAMPs, which will be used to guide the development of the AM Framework for the City. The KCI team will work collaboratively with the City's project team to build upon the work performed in previous tasks to produce an initial framework in line with IAM guidelines. The KCI team will step through the process of developing the framework over the course of four work sessions. Existing documentation, GIS information, and institutional knowledge within the KCI team will be leveraged to prepare materials in advance of the work sessions. Each session's focus will align with core framework elements: KCI TECHNOLOGIES, INC. - PROJECT APPROACH DocuSign Envelope ID: 2B271 B12-F34D-4397-985A-F66D18B567BE ASSET MANAGEMENT PROGRAM STRATEGIC PLANNING Current asset management maturity and asset management capabilities (enablers) Current state of assets Performance measures aligned Lwith Levels of Service Meetings information management and technology business area and elements and identified baseline score. Summary of the asset portfolio, identified feature classes, field characteristics, asset attribution (quantity and quality) for each of the existing GIS feature classes. LOS and Performance Measures Framework including performance measure examples. • Stakeholder interviews (3, 2-hour) • Asset portfolio discussion meeting (2 hours) Deliverables • Stakeholder interview notes (MS Word) • LOS and Performance Measure Framework (MS Excel) 3.2: ASSET INVENTORY 2-hour 2-hour KCI will reference observations from the "Asset portfolio summary' document as a starting point for this task. KCI will review asset data to gain understanding the current state of the assets as it relates to inventory, condition, and attribute completeness/accuracy. The inventory of record for the City is stored in Asset Panda's database. In addition, SeeClickFix is currently being used for public engagement and contains some work order data, which will be leveraged to assess asset performance and past maintenance costs. Asset data that resides in non -conforming ODBC data formats will be summarized in the narrative summary. KCI will assess the various GIS data sources with the goal of identifying attribution gaps, however, if a data source shows inconsistent data attribution and or is void of valid proportional attribution, KCI may not have the ability to identify all the asset -specific data gaps. This task aims to answer the core question of What do I own? And where is it? Deliverables • Asset Inventory narrative overview (MS Word) • Summary Table of GIS data assessment and gaps (MS Word) 3.3: OVERVIEW CONDITION ASSESSMENT AND REMAINING USEFUL LIFE KCI's methodology aligns with industry standards and is used as the basis for quantifying remaining useful life. KCI will make a request to the City's project manager for all relevant existing documentation related to inspection and condition procedures. KCI will review and analyze documents provided by the City and include relevant examples in the Condition Workshop. KCI will facilitate a 2-hour Condition Overview Workshop to inform management and staff on AM best practices as they relate to the condition. KCI will also include the steps to performing a "desktop" condition assessment. The workshop will include an overview presentation, City examples, and other examples from other organizations, and collaboratively develop initiatives to prepare and close the City's gaps. KCI TECHNOLOGIES, INC. - PROJECT APPROACH DocuSign Envelope ID: 2B271 B12-F34D-4397-985A-F66D18B567BE ASSET MANAGEMENT PROGRAM STRATEGIC PLANNING Deliverables • Condition Overview Presentation (MS PowerPoint) • Documentation of the draft initiatives developed in the workshop (MS Word) 3.4: LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT STRATEGY KCI will facilitate a 3-hour workshop on Lifecycle Management Strategy. KCI will provide an overview of what a Lifecycle Management Strategy is and how they apply to the City. Typical Iifecycle management strategies are: Run to failure, Routine inspection, Preventive, Risk -Based, etc. In a workshop setting, we will identify the City's current Iifecycle management as well as identify the City's preferred strategy. This will help guide KCI in developing a plan that will move the City from its current state to a more proactive state. KCI will also provide guidance on default attributes for an asset. Deliverables • Workshop Agenda • Overview Presentation (MS PowerPoint) • Current and Future Identified Lifecycle Management Strategies by Asset (MS Word) 3.5: STRATEGIC INITIATIVES AND ROADMAP Over the course of this project all types of information and data were collected, through interviews, document requests, observation data, and City staff input. The KCI team will draft a series of implementation initiatives to share, discuss, and refine with the City. KCI will facilitate this strategically focused workshop to review and prioritize. Initiatives will be evaluated based on expected short and near -term benefits (i.e., cost, efficiency, levels of service, regulatory compliance, and stewardship) to the City, as well as alignment with asset management best practices, vision, and the City's strategic goals. The Roadmap will include the initiatives, initiative description, priority, qualitative planning time, and level of effort. Implementation initiatives documented at the end of the SAMP will also guide the City in the next steps of the asset management journey, progressing toward a data -driven, defensible, and sustainable City-wide improvement in data accuracy. Meetings: • Framework workshops (4, 2-hour) • Review Session 0 hour) Deliverables • Roadmap - Final Initiatives List (MS Word) 3.6: SAMP DEVELOPMENT A culmination of all previous work will be reflected in the SAMP, KCI will develop a Draft and Final Strategic Asset Management Plan (SAMP)for the City. The table of contents is anticipated to include the following sections: 1. Introduction to Asset Management 2.

A final SAMP will be developed incorporating feedback and delivered to the City. Deliverables • Draft SAMP (MS Word) • Working SAMP review session(s) • Strategic Asset Management Plan (SAMP) document (MS Word) TASK 4: ASSET MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS 4.1: ASSET MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS The implementation of Asset Management Software will affect many users within the City, whether they work with it on a day-to-day basis, provide inputs to the system, or receive reports from the system. In addition, there are capabilities and functions that could improve current business practices and provide data to improve decision -making. It is important to not only capture existing requirements, but also explore those "nice to have" items that would help users in performing their job functions. By interviewing staff and leveraging lessons learned from other municipalities, KCI will develop a set of core software requirements that categorizes and prioritizes the requirements. Cataloging requirements in an Excel spreadsheet with tabs for each category is the easiest method to review, reference, and augment them. In addition, columns may be added for the software vendors to directly respond to each functionality and the vendor scoring may be performed directly in the spreadsheet, which provides a single source for requirements, vendor responses, and scoring matrix for evaluation. Candidate functional requirement categories include: • Work Order Management • Service Requests • Mobile • Inspections • Warehousing • Preventive Maintenance • Reporting / Dashboarding • GIS / Mapping • Lifecycle Management Technical requirements refer to those requirements related to the system such as system architecture, database, authentication, cloud versus on -premises, disaster recovery, integration patterns, service level agreements, software version compatibility, etc. If the City does not prefer cloud hosted versus an on -premises implementation, then tabs could be created for each option KCI TECHNOLOGIES, INC. - PROJECT APPROACH DocuSign Envelope ID: 2B271 B12-F34D-4397-985A-F66D18B567BE ASSET MANAGEMENT PROGRAM STRATEGIC PLANNING and the relevant requirements. The KCI team has several versions of starting requirements to use for discussion to leverage previous lessons learned. KCI will facilitate two 2-hour work sessions to identify requirements for an Asset Management System. From these meetings, a list of requirements will be developed and reviewed with City stakeholders. Once the requirements are finalized, KCI will assist with the identification of 2-3 software candidates for the City to consider further reviewing, arranging for demonstrations and ultimately selecting for implementation. Deliverables • Stakeholder interviews (2, 2-hour) • AM Software Requirements document (MS Excel) • Review session • 2-3 Asset Management System software candidates Schedule The KCI team estimates this project to be five (5) months in duration depending upon City availability and schedule.
