Life Cycle Management
• Define Levels of Service (LOS) for each asset
• Explain how the LOS will be achieved
• Identify key issues & strategies for managing these
issues
• Determine approximate value and remaining life
of the asset
• Asset risk and the ways to manage the risk
• Define revenue plan and historical expenditures
• Identify data reliability
10
Performance Management
• Performance management evaluates data
against targets and goals set in the TAMP
• Performance Measurement - Dashboard
– High level way of sharing information
– Informs Public/Staff of Department Priorities
– Sets Public Expectations
– Celebrates our successes and identifies our
challenges

Highlights of TAMP Evolvement at GDOT
• Evolved simultaneously with initial TAM efforts
• Collaborative effort of different GDOT
units/offices
• Plan focuses on pavements, bridges and signs
• It is a living document; it has
already changed twice
• A separate unit established to focus
on TAM and develop the plan

Where does TAM fit at GDOT?
An effective TAM
program requires
the coordinated
effort of three
things

What’s Next
• Named a Risk Manager in 2013
– Pilot for SHRP2 R09- Risk Management in
Complex projects
• Current IT project to develop data warehouse
• Looking at how to incorporate risk further
into TAM, and, how to measure and manage
data better …future research projects?
