Valuation
Complete the Asset Valuation columns onthe Worksheet
Historical Cost = Replacement Cost x CPI Installation Year CPI Current Year
Condition Assessments
Adjust the Remaining Life column based oncondition
Condition Adjusted CommentsRating (1-5*) Remaining Life

Prioritization
Why Prioritize?Do not have the resources(financial and other) to doeverythingNeed to determine what ismost importantMake the best use of theresources that are availableNeed to consider not onlythe likelihood of an assetfailing, but also theconsequences of failure
Prioritization – Existing Assets
Risk-BasedConsequence of FailureLikelihood of Failure
Prioritization – Existing Assets
Use the Risk Rating (likelihood of failure xconsequence of failure) to rank the priority
of each project
Prioritization – New Assets
Goal-BasedUsed for project by projectevaluationAlso important to considerthe on-going operations andmaintenance costsEngage a group of people toevaluate to reducesubjectivity
Prioritization – New Assets
Part 1: As a group,determine the relative
importance of each(1-5 weighting)community goal
