Committee approves amendment to implement Maximo asset‑management functions
Summary
The committee approved an amendment to continue Maximo asset‑management work for Water and Power; staff said Maximo will manage equipment records, inventory and maintenance scheduling for both water and electric systems.
The Water and Power Committee approved an amendment to continue implementing the Maximo asset‑management system, staff said, to track equipment locations, maintenance histories and materials inventory for both water and power infrastructure.
Andrew Perth (identified in the record as a department representative) explained that Maximo is an enterprise asset‑management tool used to catalog transformers, valves, generators and other infrastructure. “Queremos saber dónde están ubicados... y también mantener un inventario de materiales para que los equipos puedan ir a las bodegas,” he said.
Nut graf: The amendment does not add new funding but extends work on the Maximo implementation; staff told the committee the system is primarily being used for water infrastructure now but can support electric assets and could be explored for real‑estate inventory in the future.
Councilmembers asked whether real estate assets are being tracked; staff replied they are not currently included but could be in the future if coordinated with the real estate group. The item was moved, seconded and approved by the committee.
Ending: Staff said this amendment will let the utility continue Maximo rollout and pursue additional use cases after implementation steps are completed.
