Thanks to the recent provincial legislation and federal initiatives, Ontario municipalities now are both required and enticed to develop long-term infrastructure asset management plans. A major challenge that the municipalities are now facing is to ensure the plans are truly implementable and are indeed implemented. Municipal Data Works (MDW) is a web-based asset management business solution supported and managed by Marmak on behalf of Ontario Good Roads Association (OGRA). The current version of MDW is able to determine in an aggregate manner the investment level required by a municipality. However, to be truly implementable, the budget plan must be well weaved into an evidence-based operation, maintenance, rehabilitation, reconstruction strategy in both tactic and project levels. Due to various reasons, many municipalities find themselves in an inconvenient position of building evidences for the strategic, tactic and operational planning. There is a serious worry that many of the municipal plans prepared for compliance will become a white elephant over the shelf. To solve these issues, Marmak wishes to partner with Ryerson Institute for Infrastructure Innovation to develop a set of guidelines in order to collaboratively develop evidence-based, implementable asset management plans. As the first part of the collaboration, this Engage project is focused on the development of guidelines for level of services and the optimization of target LOS in an asset management plan. ****It is hoped that the enhanced MDW will help cash-strapped Canadian municipalities to achieve practical, implementable and defensible capital plans based on the municipality's budget, and service level objectives. It will also help communities to gain control over their infrastructure deficit, and improve prospects for municipal self-sufficiency by spending maintenance dollars more wisely. ****

由于最近的省级立法和联邦倡议，安大略省市政当局现在既被要求也被吸引来制定长期基础设施资产管理计划。市政当局目前面临的一个重大挑战是确保这些计划真正可执行并确实得到执行。市政数据工程(MDW)是一个基于Web的资产管理业务解决方案，由Marmak代表安大略省良好道路协会(OGRA)支持和管理。目前的MDW版本能够以汇总的方式确定一个市政当局所需的投资水平。然而，为了真正可执行，预算计划必须在战术和项目两个层面上很好地编织成基于证据的操作、维护、恢复和重建战略。由于各种原因，许多城市在为战略、战术和行动规划提供证据方面处于不便的境地。人们严重担心，为遵守规定而准备的许多市政计划将成为搁置的白象。为了解决这些问题，Marmak希望与赖尔森基础设施创新研究所合作制定一套指导方针，以便协作开发基于证据的、可实施的资产管理计划。作为合作的第一部分，该Engage项目侧重于制定服务水平的指导方针，并优化资产管理计划中的目标LO。*希望增强的MDW将帮助资金紧张的加拿大市政当局根据市政当局的预算和服务水平目标，实现实际、可实施和可辩护的资本计划。它还将帮助社区控制其基础设施赤字，并通过更明智地使用维护资金来改善市政自给自足的前景。****
