Summary

CH2M Hill Engineers, Inc., a long-standing Cityworks Platinum Business Partner, recently completed Water Distribution Modeling for the City of Alachua and has a thorough knowledge of the City's assets and operations.  The City has been a longtime Cityworks desktop user and requires assistance upgrading this asset management system (ASM) to the latest server-based version and environment to take advantage of improved functionality.  The City wants to use this opportunity to review existing workflows and business processes for maintenance of wastewater collection linear assets (sewer gravity mains, sewer pressurized mains, sewer laterals, sewer manholes, and other related linear appurtenances),  and incorporate efficiency improvements as part of the project.  Training on the new Cityworks platform (training materials and method of onsite training) will reinforce the new workflows and processes.

 

CH2M Hill Engineers, Inc. has a continued Professional Services Agreement with the City of Alachua.
