Pinellas County Asset Management Program
Background
Pinellas County is part of the growing Tampa/St. Petersburg/Clearwater metropolitan statistical area. The Board of County Commissioners (BCC) is responsible for providing different levels of services to citizens across the county, including courts, jails, animal services, economic development, 911, emergency medical system, mosquito control, social services and arterial roads. Pinellas County manages close to $8 billion in infrastructure and was looking for a more effective and efficient means of managing assets at an enterprise level.
Challenge
The county’s more-than-20-year-old work management solution had been irregularly implemented and poorly maintained across multiple disparate operating divisions. Before beginning a technology update project, county leadership embraced the opportunity to undertake an organizational transformation effort and truly become an asset-managing organization.
Solution
Woolpert is implementing and integrating a Cityworks asset management system to meet the business and asset management requirements of their enterprise AMS. The county created an Office of Asset Management to enable the enterprise scale of the asset management program. Woolpert is also developing and establishing an ISO 55000-aligned organizational framework to guide the county’s future asset management principles and practices. The project team is also training county personnel on EAM/AMS usage, assessing current organizational change management procedures, and providing as-needed post-assessment and improvements for processes and procedures.
Outcome
Upon project completion, Pinellas County will have a fully implemented and configured version of Cityworks AMS that will enble it to track and maintain assets, meet business management needs and more readily provide services to citizens.
