Inspection Module

The Inspection Module is a set of programs designed to evaluate the condition of assets (roads, bridges, signs, utilities, etc.) based on user-defined criteria and apply inspection results to update condition levels of affected assets. Condition Factors and Inspections play an important role in managing assets and evaluating operations based on costs, performance and other community standards.

GASB-34 guidelines for the "modified approach" require inspections be performed at least once every three years on all infrastructure assets. CMS software maintains individual records for each road, bridge, sign, utility item and other major category.  Each record contains inspection information, including the last inspection date and the inspection interval. If the item is due an inspection, the system warns the user in the Alert Reminder module. This insures inspections are performed in a timely manner.
