Capital Planning for Council
Build defensible capital budgets backed by asset data. Generate reports that help council understand infrastructure investment needs.
FCI Tracking & Reporting
Track Facility Condition Index across your entire infrastructure portfolio. Generate reports showing asset health trends and backlog of deferred maintenance.
20-Year Replacement Forecasting
Project infrastructure replacement and rehabilitation costs over a 20-year horizon using asset age, condition, and expected useful life data.
Risk-Based Prioritization
Score assets using Likelihood of Failure x Consequence of Failure matrix. Prioritize capital investments based on risk to service delivery.
Levels of Service Tracking
Define and track current and proposed levels of service for each infrastructure category as required by AMP regulations.
Scenario Modeling
Model different funding scenarios to show the impact of various budget levels on infrastructure condition over time.
Council-Ready Reports
Generate professional reports suitable for council presentations, budget submissions, and public communication.
The challenge municipalities face: Justifying infrastructure investment to council requires objective data. Gut feelings and anecdotal evidence do not survive budget debates. AssetLab provides the asset condition data, risk assessments, and long-term forecasts that make capital requests defensible.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is O. Reg. 588/17?
Ontario Regulation 588/17 is the Asset Management Planning for Municipal Infrastructure regulation that requires Ontario municipalities to develop strategic asset management policies and plans. It establishes requirements for current and proposed levels of service, lifecycle management strategies, and financial planning for all municipal infrastructure assets.
What are the O. Reg. 588/17 compliance deadlines?
O. Reg. 588/17 had several milestone deadlines: July 2019 for strategic asset management policies, July 2022 for core infrastructure asset management plans, and July 2024 for complete asset management plans covering all municipal assets. Municipalities must review and update their plans at least every five years.
What municipal infrastructure categories does CMMS software track?
Municipal CMMS software tracks core infrastructure including roads, bridges, water systems, wastewater systems, and stormwater systems. It also tracks non-core assets like recreation facilities, public buildings, fleet vehicles, parks, and other municipal property. Each category has specific condition assessment and maintenance requirements.
How does CMMS software support municipal capital planning?
CMMS software supports municipal capital planning by tracking asset condition (FCI), forecasting replacement costs over 10-20+ years, prioritizing investments using risk-based criteria, and generating reports suitable for council presentations and budget submissions. This data-driven approach helps justify capital investment requests.
Do other provinces have similar asset management requirements?
Yes, other Canadian provinces have asset management requirements though specifics vary. British Columbia has the Asset Management BC framework, Alberta has Municipal Sustainability Strategy guidance, and other provinces have various infrastructure planning requirements. Federal gas tax funding also requires asset management planning commitments.
What is the connection between CMMS and Asset Management Plans?
CMMS provides the operational data that feeds into Asset Management Plans (AMPs). Work order history, maintenance costs, asset condition assessments, and failure data from CMMS inform the lifecycle management strategies and financial projections required in AMPs. Modern CMMS platforms include AMP reporting tools for this purpose.
