The traditional ACRS program was a tool for identifying deficiencies however it is limited in its use for planning or strategic decisions such as prioritization and long-term considerations of asset lifecycle needs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n As a result, the introduction of the Extended Asset Condition Reporting System (E-ACRS) has been requested by ISC and will be utilized moving forward for all infrastructure inspections.\u00a0 E-ACRS improves current asset management approaches by forecasting the lifecycle needs and costs for each asset, by component.\u00a0 E-ACRS provides a more complete picture of the asset portfolio and is a better tool to help with planning and strategic decisions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Our team of technical advisors and GIS technicians inspect federally-funded assets (roads & bridges, buildings (e.g. schools, band office, etc.), vehicles, solid waste, water and wastewater systems) to promote safe, strong community infrastructure.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_heading title=”Asset Management Resources and Toolkit” _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” title_font=”–et_global_heading_font|700|||||||” title_text_color=”#9CA93B” title_font_size=”31px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _dynamic_attributes=”link_option_url” _module_preset=”default” text_font=”–et_global_body_font|700|||||||” text_line_height=”1.2em” link_font=”–et_global_body_font|700|||||||” link_text_color=”#00B0E8″ link_option_url=”@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9hdHRhY2htZW50Iiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6IjQ0NyJ9fQ==@” link_option_url_new_window=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Asset Management is the process of managing an asset\u2019s entire lifecycle \u2013 from design and construction to decommissioning and disposal \u2013 in order to provide the best value level of service for the costs involved.<\/span><\/p>\n Many First Nations<\/strong> have already begun a process of asset management, even if it\u2019s not recognized as such. Asset inventories, maintenance management plans, and investment plans, such as FNIIPs, are all common tools to start an asset management journey. In 2020, with support from Indigenous Services Canada, TSAG partnered with Urban Systems Ltd. to provide information about and gather feedback on asset management practices in First Nations in Alberta. The products is an Asset Management Toolkit that provides resources specific to First Nations. While the process of asset management is similar between municipalities and First Nation communities, First Nations have several unique circumstances and data resources.<\/span><\/p>\n The Asset Management Toolkit and Resources: A First Nations Perspective, provides templates and step by step resources to support your Nation in asset management.\u00a0Click the button below for a copy of the toolkit and blank templates.
