Paper
A Fast Track implementation of City Works in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania
Track: State and Local Government
Author(s): Martin Demblowski, Sam Shamsi, George Brown

The Allegheny County Department of Public Works is replacing their existing work order and asset management system due to the lack of developer support. The new system utilizes Azteca System's CityWorks Asset Management software package in conjunction with Esri's ArcGIS platform to provide a GIS-centric and enterprise geodatabase-connected Management Information System. The overall goals of this project include establishing a replacement maintenance management system that addresses the following components: Service Request Module, Work Order Management Module, Asset Management Module, and a Pavement Management Module. The central focus of the new system is the maintenance of the following five assets: roads, roadside assets, bridges, parks, and buildings. The initial implementation was completed in record time frame--six months--with the efforts of Motorola and ATS Chester Engineers. The implementation is broken down into three phases and will aid in Allegheny County's pursuit of the American Public Works Association accreditation.
