Planning (Sinking Funds)?
Important that everyone uses common language by
using definitions as provided in:
• ISO 41011 – Facility Management – Vocabulary
• ISO 55000 - Asset Management series.
• BS 8544 – Life Cycle Costing in Maintenance -
Section 3 - Terms, Definitions and Abbreviations
Asset - item, thing or entity that has potential or actual value to an organisation.
Asset Life - period from asset creation to asset end-of-life.
Capital Reinstatement Value - current cost of reinstatement of the buildings in
their present form, including demolition, site clearance and fees, but excluding VAT
(except on fees).
Interested Party / Stakeholder - person or organisation that can affect, be affected
by, or perceive itself to be affected by a decision or activity.
Life-Cycle Cost - total costs (in present-value terms) expected to be spent on an
asset during its operational existence.
Life Cycle Renewal Cost - cost of scheduled renewal of major systems and
components, forming part of the capital costs (not revenue budgets), excluding
annual planned preventive maintenance, minor repairs and unscheduled reactive
maintenance
Performance - measurable result. It can relate either to quantitative or qualitative
findings.
Risk - effect of uncertainty. An effect is a deviation from the expected — positive or
negative. Uncertainty is the state, even partial, of deficiency of information related
to, understanding or knowledge of, an event, its consequence, or likelihood.

1. What is Recapitalisation Planning (Sinking Funds)?
Sinking Fund - a fund formed by periodically setting aside money for
the gradual repayment of a debt or replacement of a wasting asset.
(Google Dictionary)
A Sinking Fund is a contingency fund established by owners
management companies to provide for future capital
improvements such as lift replacement, painting, or for any
other unexpected remedial works outside the normal scope
of the annual maintenance budget.
(www.resi.ie/sinking-fund.html)Asset Replacement - Asset replacement planning is more than
identifying and financing the replacement of assets that are
approaching the end of their economic lives. Optimal planning
requires consideration of the total life-cycle costs of assets.

2. The Context in Asset Mgt
Strategic Level - level at which an
organisation defines its objectives and
policies, and plans and assesses how to
achieve its goals
Tactical Level - level at which an
organisation plans and manages the
specific mechanisms and resources for
operational delivery of products
Operational Level - level at which
activities are performed in a routine way in
support of the organisations functions(Haider 2009)
2. The Context in Asset Mgt
ISO 55002 - 6.2.2 Planning To Achieve Asset Management
Objectives
An asset management plan(s) should be documented at a
level that is appropriate to the organisation and the degree of
sophistication in its asset management approach. There is no
set formula for what should be included or how it should be
structured, however, it is common practice for such an asset
management plan(s) to contain a rationale for asset
management activities, operational and maintenance plans,
capital investment (overhaul, renewal, replacement and
enhancement) plans, and financial and resource plans, often
based on a review of earlier achievements.

3.4.4 Life Cycle Considerations
In developing the maintenance strategy, consideration must be given to a rolling maintenance
replacement programme. There should be a planned approach, to replace larger components and
elements of building services systems over a five-year programme as their performance and the
costs required to keep them in service incrementally increase.
….
With a robust plan in place, the operator or FM can have meaningful discussions with the finance
team within the organisation about requirements and budget projections, so informed decisions can
be made on funding and associated impact and the resulting resources needed over the planned term.

Drivers for Asset Replacements
• End of Life
• H&S / Environmental Risks
• Consequence of Failure (catastrophic, significant)
• Technological Advancements / Obsolescence
• Timing / Access Issues / Planned Shutdowns
• Excessive Running Costs
• Increased productivity (person, product or service)
• Full / Partial Replacements

So the Likelihood can be ranked as:
1) Very unlikely (>10 years)
2) Unlikely
3) Fairly likely
4) Likely
5) Very likely (<6 months)
and, Consequence would be ranked as:
1) Insignificant- no injury / downtime (dt)
2) Minor- needing first aid / some dt
3) Moderate- absence / dt up to three days
4) Major- more than three days absence / dt
5) Catastrophic- death / cost / full dt

How Are These Applied?
• This is just one way of undertaking this exercise, and without doubt simplistic.
• The level of detail needs to be appropriate to the level of risk.
• Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) will need a much greater level of accuracy as it will impact on the
economic feasibility of the operator and the contract over a 20-30 year period.
Other Complexities:
Net Present Value / Discounted Cash Flow / Inflation & Deflation / Depreciation / Partial Replacements
NPV is the technique used to turn a cost to be paid or a benefit to be received in the future into an equivalent value
today (the present) by applying a discount factor. Once all future costs and benefits have been translated into present
values, they can be added up to give an overall net present value for the project.

Case Studies
Paul Finnerty – Facilities Manager, Cork County Council
“We developed the County Hall campus in 3 stages over the last 15 years. This
included new multi level car park and County Library headquarters and re-
development of County Hall 17 storey building, Business Growth Hub and Fire
Control buildings. We spent about €100 million on building stock during that
time and realised that we would had major infrastructure at various stages of
maturity which would require serious capital investment into the future.
We took on a tough task of creating a full asset register for the site and
identifying indicative end of life and replacement costs for them. We presented a
report to our Senior Management Team for predicted capital replacement costs
for a 10 year period. We were seen as having had a very proactive and practical
approach from a capital planning standpoint and received increased capital
funding budget of €150k annually for various projects identified since we
completed the report in 2014.
It also makes capital budget planning very easy to submit annually as the
replacement costs of assets are identified in the report for a 10 year period.”

Italy Bridge Collapse: The Financial Facts Behind The Fury
Within hours of the viaduct giving way and sending vehicles plummeting,
Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini said the EU must allow Rome to
include in its next budget all the funds needed to ensure the country’s
infrastructure was safe.
Gustavo Piga, economics professor at Rome’s Tor Vergata University, said
regardless of EU rules, Rome had not always demonstrated that
infrastructure was at the top of its agenda.
Total investment and maintenance spending on Italian transport
infrastructure fell by 58 percent between 2008 and 2015,
according to data by the Organisation for Economic
Cooperation and Development.
