HomeMy WebLinkAbout4.13 True Cost of Ownership Analysis STAFF REPORT CITY CLERK File #600-30 CITY COUNCIL DATE:November 17, 2015 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers FROM: Christopher L. Foss, City Manager SUBJECT: Approval of a Consulting Services Agreement to Develop a True Cost of Ownership Analysis Prepared by Gary Huisingh, Public Works Director and Roger Bradley, Assistant to the City Manager EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The City Council will consider approving an agreement with GHD to prepare a True Cost of Ownership Analysis, which will assist the City in managing its capital infrastructure by assessing the City’s inventory of buildings, parks, roads, and other infrastructure and evaluating their lifecycle costs. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Sufficient funds are available within the adopted Fiscal Year 2015-2016 Public Works Operating Budget to pay for the proposed contract cost of $90,000. RECOMMENDATION: Resolution Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the Approving an Agreement with GHD to Develop a True Cost of Ownership Analysis. Reviewed By Assistant City Manager DESCRIPTION: As part of its strategic planning process in March 2015, the City Council received a report on the City’s 10-Year Fiscal Forecast, which showed deficit spending in the latter part of the 10-year period. Staff proposed, and the City Council accepted, a series of action items to address the fiscal imbalance. One such item was the preparation of a Preventative Maintenance Plan (PMP). A PMP would enable Staff and the City Council to better understand the costs associated with long-term maintenance and replacement of City assets, including buildings, parks, roads and City facilities. ITEM NO. 4.13 Page 1 of 2 The first step in its preparation is better understanding the City’s current True Cost of Ownership. Having a full understanding of the costs to purchase, hold, and manage its assets, the City will then be able to develop a plan to minimize the cost to maintain these assets as well as know when assets have reached the end of their useful life and need to be replaced. Specifically, the plan would indicate those preventative maintenance steps necessary for the City to adequately maintain its assets at the lowest cost possible. To identify qualified firms to assist, Staff has issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ). The City received one proposal, from GHD, a global engineering company out of Southern California with a local office in Emeryville. Founded in 1928, GHD has been active in the professional services business for more than 80 years, and has completed a number of such studies. GHD provided a cost estimate of $90,000 to complete the work included in the RFQ. GHD will develop a True Cost of Ownership Analysis for the City’s major assets, which is approximately 80% of the City’s total assets. The analysis will include a review of the overall condition of the City’s facilities to identify the need for short-term repairs, any deferred and ongoing maintenance requirements, and the lifecycle costs of managing the City’s assets. Specifically, the True Cost of Ownership Analysis is meant to uncover all the lifetime costs that follow from owning assets, such as buildings, roads, parks, and other infrastructure. Cities are ‐ becoming increasingly aware that purchase decisions need to be based not just on the initial purchase price of the asset, but also on the longterm cost of ownership, as the combination of the two actually defines the actual cost of owning and operating any item. Further analysis as part of the overall Preventative Maintenance Plan will include an analysis of the remaining 20% of the City’s assets as well as a more detailed plan on managing the City’s assets and infrastructure. These future phases of the project would be presented to the City Council for consideration at a later date. Staff believes that developing the True Cost of Ownership Analysis will be a valuable tool to assist the City in meeting its financial sustainability goals by helping the City more effectively manage its current infrastructure while minimizing costs. Therefore, Staff recommends that the Attachment 1 City Council adopt the Resolution () approving the agreement with GHD to conduct the analysis. NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH: None.
