Capital Project Management Information System

Presentation Goal: To share information about moving towards a CPMiS if an organization is considering a system.

Overview: 1. Overview of Fairfax County Capital Projects Program

2. Snapshot of Current Project Management Systems

3. Reasons to Implement New CPMiS

4. Review the Development of the RFP

5. Discuss Vendor Selection Process

6. Current Status / Plan For Implementation

Definition of CPMIS

A Capital project management information system (CPMIS) is the coherent organization of the information required to execute projects successfully. A CPMIS is typically one or more software applications and a methodical process for collecting and using project information.

Overview of Fairfax County

• Approximately 1.1 million residents

• About 400 square miles

• Current Operating Budget $4 Billion (larger than 4 States)

Current Project Reporting System

Current Project Management Processes

• Spreadsheets: Payment tracking,

Change Order tracking, Project Logs, etc • Sign-offs for documents - routed from

one in-box to the next • Inconsistent Document Storage, each

Division, each Project • Limited file search capability • File Transfer with vendors limited by

firewalls, file size • Difficult for Managers and Project

Managers to extract information • Fairfax County has used software for

construction management on large projects; Constructware, E-Builder for example (Project Level)

Reasons for a New System

• Capital Program Growth • Access to dashboard information • Cloud based storage, greatly

improves file transfer and collaboration with vendors

• Increases access to files from smartphones, tablets, laptops

Reasons for a New System

• Capital Program Growth • Access to dashboard information • Cloud based storage, greatly

improves file transfer and collaboration with vendors

• Increases access to files from smartphones, tablets, laptops

• Document storage 100% consistent across entire department

• Powerful file search capability • Eliminates double or triple entry

of data and errors that occur • Electronic routing and sign-offs

Reasons for a New System

• Attract the next generation of staff (tech savvy engineers)

• Transition of Staff (Work Flow processes well documented)

• Move to paperless system (sustainability)

• Ability to leverage new technology for Electronic Plan Review, Virtual 3D Models, Augmented Reality Halographic Models.

Request For Proposal Development

• Internal Needs Assessment, scope of system grew, agencies grew • Decided to hire Gartner to Develop RFP:

Conducted formal Needs Assessments, all stakeholders Market scan to possible product solutions Reviewed the current reporting system

• Identify Functional Requirements, 6 categories General Program Project Management Contract Management Financial Management Document Management Reporting

• Identify Technical Requirements (93 items) NFR1 - Supports 300 users (internal and external) NFR8 – Control access based upon roles, groups, individuals NFR52 – Integration with e-mail and other Office 365 functions

• Prepare Process Flow Maps for Each Project Type

Challenges

• Size / Scope of the System, number of agencies, wide variety of

project types

• Commitment of resources to implement

• Old and New processes running concurrently until system established

• New system great for typical projects; concern for smaller or unique projects, PPP, alternative delivery approaches

• Work Flows need to be flexible / easily changeable to adapt to new ways of doing business
