Track: Public Works
Authors: Michael Isun

GIS is an essential component of Pierce County Road Operation's Asset Management System. A holistic approach to managing the Division's assets optimizes efficiencies and cost-effective delivery of mission objectives. Maintaining a GIS based asset inventory allows managers to conduct analysis with parcel layers, jurisdictional boundaries, easements, and rights-of-ways that are integral to any asset management system. Over the last several years we have collected hard data that allows us to significantly improve predictive maintenance and deterioration models that support site specific delivery of service as opposed to less efficient programmatic approaches. The intent of this presentation is to share lessons learned in the spirit of constant improvement and efficient delivery of public service
