Asset Management Plan

The Asset Management Plan for the Town of Lincoln meets all provincial requirements as outlined within the Ontario Building Together Guide for Municipal Asset Management Plans. 

The purpose of the Asset Management Plan: 

Ensure the proper management of our infrastructure 

• This includes allowing the Town to make informed decisions about the building, operating, maintaining, renewing, replacing and disposing of infrastructure assets. 
• The plan identifies current and future challenges that should be addressed to maintain sustainable infrastructure services on a long-term, life cycle basis. 

Optimize our available resources 

• It develops an implementation process to prioritize renewal, rehabilitation, and maintenance activities, resulting in a 10-year plan that includes growth projections. 
• It develops a financial strategy that fully integrates with other sections of this Asset Management Plan, to ensure delivery and optimization of the 10-year infrastructure budget. 

Establish desired levels of service 

• A Desired Level of Service (LOS) Framework tracks the strategic, financial, tactical, operational, and maintenance activities within the organization.
