Elements of a Successful CIP
We build the right projects for the right reasons, in the right
sequence
People - pace, training, tools, communication, roles, and
collaboration'
Program management and reporting systems and processes
Set up for maximizing lifecycle value of the assets and
P �•� ;
systems
Adaptable to changing middle to long term needs in a
dynamic world`
Stakeholder understanding, confidence, and support
Strengths
District has increased project delivery pace to match program projections, on
schedule for $100 million (M) per year
Broad progress across all infrastructure systems; treatment plant, pumping
stations, and collection systems
Project managers' early fiscal year (FY) 2023-24 projections in Oracle
Enterprise Project Management (EPM) were realized
Financial alignment between revenues, budget, and spend rate improving
Funding strategy for state, federal assistance to reduce debt service costs
Safety - strong safety record resulting from collaboration between staff,
contractors, and construction management teams
District staff continue to be our greatest asset. Deep bench of long tenure
staff bring expertise, dedication, professional pride, and collaboration

Strengths Continued
Contractor and private party claims from
construction activity are minimal
Customer and community impacts are low,
fostering positive reputation on high visibility
projects
Regulatory compliance maintained for air,
water, collection systems, etc.
High quality work and finished products across
the CIP
Project planning and prioritization evolving to
reflect asset management cycle and integrated
systems perspective,
Asset on boarding workflow and asset health
•-
monitoring initiatives making steady progress
G
Weaknesses
Senior staff anticipated attrition in next 5 years, loss of institutional
knowledge and senior management
Recruiting and retaining high quality staff in competitive regional
labor market
Consulting engineering expertise - regional demands for same
resources, notably in specialty areas such as electrical,
instrumentation, and controls (EI&C)
Supply chain timing for heavy electrical and other key equipment
Program and project administration, reporting, and management
tools (Oracle EPM/Enterprise Resource Management, Procore
Construction Management, etc.)
Staying ahead of the assets/systems on -boarding wave
Training for Operations & Maintenance (O&M) staff on new systems,
balancing baseline work with the CIP
