EXHIBIT A ASSET MANAGEMENT PROGRAM SERVICES 1) PROJECT UNDERSTANDING Indian River County Department of Utility Services (IRCDUS) owns and operates both water and wastewater utility infrastructure and serves approximately 50,000 accounts. This infrastructure consists of water production facilities, water wells, potable water distribution networks, wastewater treatment facilities, wastewater collection systems, and reclaimed water distribution networks. This infrastructure is comprised of a considerable number of assets in the form of equipment, buildings, property, pipelines, manholes, supply wells, a storage well, and a variety of other components used in operating the systems. These assets require preventative and corrective maintenance with a limited service life requiring eventual replacement. In addition, the systems will expand over time as new customers connect to the system, adding additional assets to the infrastructure. IRCDUS desires enhancements to its existing asset management practices including defining organizational goals, objectives and performance measures, improving processes and practices, and understanding staffing needs to strengthen and formalize a comprehensive asset management (AM) Program. As a result, IRCDUS has identified a need to develop an overall AMP Program to manage its assets with the goal of minimizing catastrophic failures, maintaining service levels, and maximizing renewal investment decisions. The development of the Program will occur over several phases. This scope of work will initiate the Program by performing a gap analysis, developing the AM strategy, and performing a pilot condition and risk assessment which includes: • Identifying AM best practices and providing industry standard information and training • Chartering and forming IRCDUS steering and work teams that will support the implementation efforts and receive knowledge transfer from Arcadis (CONSULTANT) AM Experts • Performing a gap analysis of current IRCDUS AM practices compared to best practices including the evaluation of the existing IT support tools • Determining the IRCDUS vision, mission and objectives for the AM Program • Performing a Pilot Condition, Consequence of Failure and Risk Assessment to create a formalized SOP to support additional assessments Detailed scope of work follows. 2) SCOPE OF SERVICES Upon authorization to proceed from IRCDUS, the CONSULTANT will provide the following identified services.
