1.0 Executive Summary
Saulteaux Consulting and Engineering (SCE) has prepared this Asset Management Plan
(AMP) for the Township of Chapple. In preparing the plan, SCE worked with Crupi Consulting
Group (CCG). SCE undertook the inspections of Municipal Buildings, Recreation, Water, Waste
Water, Electrical, Roads, Bridges, and Vehicle inspections. CCG undertook the financial analysis,
and life cycle costing process.
This AMP provides an overview of the estimated future expenditures related to
municipal assets over the period of the next ten (10) years. This document will help the
Township to undertake an ongoing process to budget for the expenditures necessary to
maintain the service levels that have been outlined in the Township's Official Plan. Additionally,
the plan identifies assets which require urgent attention in order to bring them to standard,
and further identifies a recommended timeframe to undertake necessary maintenance,
rehabilitation, and in some cases replacement of assets. The financial plan (Section 6.0) of this
plan, outlines a recommended strategy for the Township to finance the necessary work while
limiting the tax burden, and maintaining a fiscally responsible, sustainable approach to asset
management.
Included in the plan are recommendations regarding the maintenance of each asset. If
identified maintenance is completed, and ongoing maintenance is undertaken, this will extend
the lifecycle of assets, giving the Township a much more manageable budgeting process.
All assumptions regarding levels of service are listed within the plan, the financial plan is
developed with the understanding that the Township intends to maintain existing levels of
service, and that any future development would be undertaken as per the Official Plan.

2.0 Introduction
This asset management plan has been developed for the Township of Chapple to assist
the Township in making informed choices regarding future investment. This plan helps to define
priorities for future spending, identifies estimated maintenance costs for existing assets, and
defines a financing strategy. The goal of this process is to provide the Township with the
information required to ensure that it can develop a financing strategy to maintain satisfactory
levels of service, and undertake required investments in the future.
Additionally, this process reviews the lifecycle cost of each asset including construction,
ongoing maintenance, and disposal. Consideration has been given to ensuring that services are
maintained in an environmentally sustainable manner, as per the Township's Official Plan. A
key feature of this plan is that it will provide the Township with a prioritized listing of
infrastructure needs. This listing of priorities will help the Township to identify projects to
undertake in the coming years, with a clear focus on the most urgent priorities, projects that
will require investment within the next three years.
This plan is designed to cover the lifecycle of each asset, and is intended as a living
document to be amended, as required, or when new tangible assets are added to the Asset
Listing.
For the purposes of completing this project, Saulteaux Consulting and Engineering (SCE)
has worked with Crupi Consulting Group (CCG). SCE undertook the inspections of Municipal
Buildings, Recreation, Water, Waste Water, Electrical, Roads, Bridges, and Vehicle inspections.
CCG undertook the financial analysis, and life cycle costing process.

3.0 State of Local Infrastructure
This section outlines the following:
- Asset types (Roads, Buildings, Equipment, Bridges, Water, Waste Water, Solid Waste
and Vehicles).
- Identification of maintenance, repair, remediation, and replacement costs for assets.
- Age of assets, including age of assets as a portion of expected life.
- Condition of assets, as per standard engineering practices. Roads, vehicles, buildings,
and recreation equipment were inspected for this process, and the most recent bridge
inspection reports were analyzed by a Professional Engineer.
As the asset management planning process is intended to be ongoing, and the condition of
assets, especially those requiring immediate repair, can impact the budget process, it is
recommended that the tables included herein be updated with current information, as it
becomes available. Data will be updated as identified in Municipal policy which complies with
Provincial requirements (i.e. as required inspections are undertaken, at regular intervals).

Notes and Assumptions:
1. Estimated life value assumes that identified maintenance is completed, and regular
ongoing maintenance is performed. Estimated remaining life for vehicles in good
condition is assumed to be ten (10) years.
2. Building Condition rating scale is as follows:
0 = Closed
1 - 3 = Poor
4 - 6 = Fair
7 - 9 = Good
10 = New
3. Roads use Pavement Condition Rating value from 0-100.

4.0 Desired Levels of Service
For the purposes of this AMP, it is assumed that all assets owned by the municipality will
continue to be used for their existing purpose, at the existing level of service. All defined
maintenance items are indicated based upon this assumption.
This assumption was developed based upon the following from the Township's Official
Plan document, adopted September 2013:
"The Township is committed to actively seeking and encouraging new development that
maintains and improves the quality of life, the health of existing businesses and diversifies the
economy. "
Furthermore, The Township of Chapple Official Plan document has outlined levels of
service regarding roads in Section 6.1:
"Safe and efficient movement of people and goods within the Township and to and from
adjacent municipalities is encouraged by this Plan. The road system should safely serve the
Township but should not be developed to a standard or extended beyond which would result in
a burden to the residents and taxpayers of the Township. The roads in the Township as shown
on all schedules to this Plan include provincial highways and Township roads."
Regarding reported speed limits. Please note the speed limits reported on our inspection sheets
is the speed limit either posted or specified by the Township staff. It is not an endorsement of
the limit as this would involve geometric, sight line, road width, etc. considerations which are
beyond the scope of the AMP.
4.1 Assumptions & Performance Measures
1. It is assumed that all roads will be maintained and rehabilitated as required to continue to
offer the existing level of service. It is further assumed that the Official Plan will apply when
an increase to a level of service is warranted, and that any increase in level of service will be
offset by a corresponding increase in tax revenue. Our inspections include some deferred
estimated cost such as road widening for roads which are only currently used as agricultural
access which have been termed as a "deferred improvement" only justifiable should
additional residential development occur to warrant the works. Our inspections also include
recommendations to post signs on roads, or in some cases trails, advising "road is un-

maintained and to be used at own risk". Estimated annual daily traffic ranges are appended
to this report. It is important to note that the surface age is unknown and is assumed to be
10 years, this is used to calculate the estimated surface value of roads.
While the Township can control development within its boundaries, activities occurring in
surrounding areas can impact levels of use. If an increase in traffic volume creates increased
maintenance costs that cannot be offset by tax revenue, the Township should re-visit its
financial plan to:
- Determine the best means to cover the cost to maintain the existing level of service
during the period of increased use, using the options outlined in the financial plan.
Or
- If it is not feasible to cover the cost to maintain the existing level of service, the
Township could consider reducing the level of service. By reducing the level of
service, the Township may deter the factors leading to increased use of the asset.
2. It is assumed that all bridges will continue to serve the same function as they currently do.
Therefore, it is assumed that they will be maintained, rehabilitated, and replaced to
perform the same function, and handle the same traffic volumes and loads as they are
currently designed to do. It is further assumed that the Official Plan will apply when an
increase to a level of service occurs, and that any increase in level of service will be offset by
a corresponding increase in tax revenue. Estimated annual daily traffic ranges are
appended to this report (see traffic numbers for associated road).
While the Township can control development within its boundaries, activities occurring in

3. It is assumed that all buildings will continue to be used for their current purpose for the
duration of the plan. If a change in service is required, it is assumed that any increase in
level of service, or operating requirements will be offset by a corresponding increase in tax
revenue. It is recommended that the Township follow up on all maintenance items
identified in the inspection reports appended to the plan to ensure that all buildings can
operate at their present level of service, and conform to code requirements. See the asset
reports for a detailed listing of maintenance needs, and a description of the building.
If new buildings are required, it is assumed that the costs to construct new structures would
be offset by a corresponding increase in tax revenue, or by using a debt financing solution,
as outlined in the Financial Plan.
4. Given the relatively static population trends in the Township, it is assumed that all
recreation equipment will continue to be used for its current purpose, at a similar level of
use, for the duration of the plan. If a change in service is required, it is assumed that any
increase in level of service, or operating requirements will be offset by a corresponding
increase in tax revenue. It is recommended that the Township continue to undertake
regular maintenance to ensure that the equipment remains in good working order, and is
safe to use.
5. It is assumed that all vehicles will continue to be used for their current purpose for the
duration of the plan. It is recommended that the Township follow up on all maintenance
items identified in the inspection reports appended to the plan to ensure that all vehicles
can operate at their present level of service. It should be noted that while many of the
vehicles are older, they are in good condition, and it is anticipated that with proper
maintenance, the vehicles should last for the duration of the plan.
Note: Detailed inspection reports regarding each asset are appended to this report.
Descriptions of each asset are available under the General Description heading contained
within each asset report.

4.2 State of Local Infrastructure and Levels of Service
This section provides an analysis of the Municipality's assets and the current service levels provided by
those assets.
O. Reg 588/17 requires that for each asset category included in the asset management plan, the following
information must be identified:
- Summary of the assets;
- Replacement cost of the assets;
- Average age of the assets (it is noted that the Regulation specifically requires average age to be
determined by assessing the age of asset components);
- Information available on condition of assets; and
- Approach to condition assessments (based on recognized and generally accepted good engineering
practices where appropriate).
Asset management plans must identify the current levels of service being provided for each asset category.
For core municipal infrastructure assets, both the qualitative descriptions pertaining to community levels
of service, and metrics pertaining to technical levels or service, are prescribed by O. Reg 588/17. For all
other infrastructure assets, each municipality will need to establish its own measures for levels of service.
Asset management plans must also include a 10-year forecast identifying the proposed levels of service for
each asset category. The proposed levels of service will be defined using the qualitative descriptions and
technical metrics that the municipality uses to define current levels of service. The rest of Section 4
addresses the requirements identified above, with a focus on each individual asset category.
4.3 Roads & Related
4.3.1 State of Local Infrastructure
The Township of Chapple currently owns and manages 469.94 total kilometres of roads with a 2021 replacement
cost totalling approximately $160,337,200.00. The replacement cost has been estimated based on the unit costs
identified in the Lifecycle Management Strategy section of this report (Section 7.0). The road network consists of
roads with various surface types, including gravel, pavement, and earth. These assets reside in urban and rural
roadside environments.
90% of the road network length is gravel. The next most common surface type is earth roads at 9% of the road
network length - these roads have very minimal traffic and are not accessed regularly. Asphalt roads only account
23
for 1% of the road network length and exist solely in the Barwick Village area. In the context of roadside
environment, over 95% of the network is rural.
Figure 4-1 provides an illustration of Chapple's road network, showing surface type with corresponding repair and
replacement costs.

4.3.2 Condition
Assessed physical condition, rather than age provides a more accurate estimate of an asset's remaining service life.
90% of the Township of Chapple's road network consists of gravel roads. The condition of gravel roads can
deteriorate rapidly and is less costly to improve through lifecycle activities such as routine grading and re-gravelling
every few years. Because of this, lifecycle activities for gravel roads are currently funded through the operating
budget.
The condition of the asphalt and gravel roads was assessed by the Public Works Department in 2021. The
department used a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) as the measure of condition. PCI is measured on a scale of 0-100,
with 100 being a perfect condition and 0 indicating an asset that has failed.
To better communicate the condition of the road network, these numeric condition ratings have been segmented
into qualitative condition states. Table 4-2 summarizes the various physical condition ratings and the condition state
they represent for road assets.

Table 4-3 examines the average condition of the road network by surface type. The average condition is weighted
based on kilometres. The PCI ratings used in this plan are from 2021. The Municipality should develop a strategy to
update the road condition values annually to reflect expected deterioration and any improvements that have been
made that year. Every three to five years, a road needs study should be completed where the condition of roads is
assessed directly and evaluated to identify short- and medium-term needs.
As illustrated in Table 4-3, Gravel and Asphalt roads are in a Good condition state. The overall average PCI for the
entire road network is currently 65.67 - Fair condition state.

4.3.3 Current Levels of Service - Roads & Related
The levels of service currently provided by the Township of Chapple's road network are, in part, a result of the state
of local infrastructure identified above. A levels of service analysis defines the current levels of service and enables
the Municipality to periodically evaluate these service level objectives.
Road assets have prescribed levels of service reporting requirements under O. Reg. 588/17. These requirements
include levels of service reporting at two different levels, i.e., community levels of service and technical levels of
service. Community levels of service objectives describe service levels in terms that customers understand and
reflect customers' expectations with respect to the scope and quality of the road network. Technical levels of service
describe the scope and quality of the Municipality's roads through performance measures that can be quantified
26
and evaluated. These performance measures can be used to assess how effectively a municipality is achieving its
established targets.
Road users are often particularly concerned with roads that are in Poor and Very Poor condition. To address these
concerns, the information on condition conveyed through the average PCI performance measure required by O. Reg.
588/17 will be supplemented by reporting the total kilometre length of roads in Poor condition or worse.
Table 4-5 presents the current level of service for roads. It includes the requirements mandated by O. Reg 588/17.
Figure 4-4 and Figure 4-5 provide a spatial illustration of the condition of the Municipality's road network.

4.4 Bridges and Culverts
4.4.1 State of Local Infrastructure
The Municipality currently owns and manages 10 bridges and 1 major culvert, with an estimated replacement cost
of $10,436,300.00.
Table 4-7 provides a summary of the number, age, and replacement cost for the current bridge and major culvert
inventory. The average age of the municipality's bridges and culverts is almost 41 years, with bridges averaging 44.7
years. The municipality's major culvert was completed in 2021.

The Township of Chapple's 2021 Structure Inspection Appraisal Report, completed by K. Smart & Associates Ltd,
assessed the condition of the bridge and culvert inventory, assigning a Bridge Condition Index (BCI) to each asset. A
BCI score is provided on a numeric scale of 0-100 and is a measure of the overall condition of the structure based on
an evaluation of individual components.
Like road assets, to better communicate the condition of the bridge and culvert inventory, the numeric condition
ratings have been segmented into qualitative condition states, as summarized in Table 4-8.

4.4.3 Current and Proposed Levels of Service - Bridges & Culverts
The level of service currently provided by the Municipality's bridge and culvert inventory is, in part a result of the
state of local infrastructure identified above. A levels of service analysis defines the current levels of service and
enables the Municipality to periodically evaluate these service level objectives.
Bridge and culvert assets have prescribed levels of service reporting requirements under O. Reg 588/17. These
requirements include levels of service reporting at two levels - community levels of service and technical levels of
service. Community levels of service objectives describe service levels in terms that customers understand and

a municipality is achieving its established targets.
Table 4-10 provides a summary of this information for all major bridge and culvert assets, completed by K. Smart
Associates Ltd. in the Township's 2021 Structure Inspection Appraisal Report. The Municipality plans to address the
identified renewal needs over time, gradually increasing the overall condition of the inventory and following the
proposed recommendations in the report.

Management Plan for Water and Wastewater Systems, developed by the Ontario Clean Water Agency for the
Township of Chapple, contains recommendations for rehabilitation or replacement projects for these assets.
4.5.3 Current and Proposed Levels of Service - Water and Wastewater Network
The level of service currently provided by the Municipality's water and wastewater network is, in part a result of the
state of local infrastructure identified above. A levels of service analysis defines the current levels of service and
enables the Municipality to periodically evaluate these service level objectives.
Water and wastewater networks have prescribed levels of service reporting requirements under O. Reg 588/17.
These requirements include levels of service reporting at two levels - community levels of service and technical
levels of service. Community levels of service objectives describe service levels in terms that customers understand
and reflect customers' expectations with respect to the scope and quality of the water and wastewater systems.
Technical levels of service describe the scope and quality of the Municipality's water and wastewater network
through performance measures that can be quantified and evaluated. These performance measures can be used to
assess how effectively a municipality is achieving its established targets.
The 2022 Asset Management Plan for Water and Wastewater Systems provides detailed summaries of this
information for water and wastewater assets. The Municipality plans to address the identified renewal needs over
time, gradually increasing the overall condition of the inventory and following the proposed recommendations
provided by OCWA.
33
5.0 Asset Management Strategy
The asset management strategy is a set of planned actions that will allow the Township
of Chapple to ensure that its assets offer the desired levels of service, for a sustainable cost,
while managing risk.
This section summarizes the following:
- Non-infrastructure solutions.
- Maintenance activities.
- Renewal / Rehabilitation activities.
- Replacement activities.
- Disposal activities.
- Expansion activities.
5.1 Non-Infrastructure Solutions
Non-infrastructure solutions are actions or policies that can lower costs or extend asset life. The
Township of Chapple has identified many of these solutions in their official plan which was
approved in 2013, and is intended to last for a period of 20 years.
Included in the Basis for the plan is the following:
- The Township of Chapple is characterized primarily by rural residential development and
agriculturally based activities. The rural character of the Township will be maintained
over the lifetime of this Plan.
- Private water and sewage will continue to be the primary source of lot servicing in the
Township. As a result, developments that require communal or full municipal services
will be considered only with an amendment to this Plan. Any application to extend
services from an adjacent municipality will be considered only with an amendment to
the Official Plan.
- Much of the Township's existing non-residential development occurs along Highway
11/71. This Plan recognizes the Highway 11/71 corridor as the continued focus of
primary economic development in the Township.
- The municipality presently provides an adequate level of services to allow for sufficient
growth over the lifetime of this Plan. Development in the Township will occur on the
basis of the existing level of municipal services.
34
Additionally, Section 6.0 of the plan indicates a mechanism for demand management, and a
mechanism for directing development to limit the burden on existing road assets.
It is recommended that the Township of Chapple continue to undertake land use planning,
undertake development in accordance with the Official Plan, and continue with the fiscally
sound methodology outlined in the Official Plan. Doing so will help manage demand, and
ensure that the Township develops in such a way that has a sustainable plan to cover the costs
needed to maintain levels of service.
5.2 Maintenance Activities
A detailed list of maintenance activities for each asset is appended to this report. It is
recommended that the Township undertake the identified maintenance within the timeframe
identified in each asset report.
Some significant maintenance activities that were identified during the inspection process
include (these include critical health and safety issues and building code issues):
1. Install rated door, and closer at mechanical room in Municipal Office.
2. Provide second exit from second floor in Municipal Office.
3. Install fire dampers in ductwork at mechanical room in Municipal Office.
4. Install rate drywall on underside stairs at storage room in the Public Works Building.
5. Provide gas detection system in garage in the Public Works Building.
6. Re-set several floor boards in main level open area in the Museum.
7. Provide emergency exit signs in the Museum.
8. Cut off exposed guardrail anchor bolts and cap on the Lighthouse.
9. Finish off drywall in mechanical room in the Fire Hall.
10. Install rated door complete with closer to mechanical room in Fire Hall.
11. Relocate combustible material away from wood stove in Landfill Building.
12. Install door to electrical room in North Rink Shack.
13. Reattach grounding wire conduit to building in North Fire Hall.
14. Provide Epoxy seal on floor at generator and fuel tank in Water Treatment Plant
Building.
15. Remove stored materials from diesel generator room in Water Treatment Plant
Building.
16. Provide stop and speed limit signs to roads as required.
17. Install blind hill sign on Playford Road, Tait Road
35
18. Install Curve Signs on Woolsey Road, Cedar Yard Road.
19. Provide and install "Use road at own Risk sign" on Caul Road.
5.3 Renewal / Rehabilitation Activities
A detailed list of maintenance activities for each asset is appended to this report. It is
recommended that the Township undertake the identified maintenance within the timeframe
identified in each asset report. Renewal / Rehabilitation costs are identified within each asset
report.
It should be noted that it is recommended that all roads be rehabilitated as described in the
individual asset reports within a period of ten (10) years, as identified. It is recommended to:
-
Add an additional four inches of granular "A" to the entire length of Marr Road.
-
Add an additional four inches of granular "A" (0.8km to end) on Vanheyst Road.
-
Add an additional four inches of granular "A" to the entire length of Bolen Road
South.
-
Resurface road (0-0.6km) on Nighswander Road.
-
Repair east retaining wall (wing wall) on Angus Road North Bridge #2.
5.4 Replacement Activities
A detailed list of maintenance activities for each asset is appended to this report. It is
recommended that the Township undertake the identified maintenance within the timeframe
identified in each asset report. When required, replacement costs are identified within each
asset report. It is recommended that the Township replace the following assets as identified in
the asset reports.
-
Replace 20 meters of pavement (West of Main Street) on Ceder Yard Road
-
Replace 20 meters of pavement (in two locations) on Queen Street.
-

Bridge #2
-
Replace all retaining wall end piles (4) on Angus Road Bridge #2.
-
Replace curb supports (timbers) on Sturgeon Creek Bridge.
-
Replace two (2) guard rail boards on Sturgeon Creek Bridge.
36
5.5 Disposal Activities
It is recommended that the Township dispose of assets in accordance with their procurement
policy, if the asset has potential value (e.g. used vehicle, building). Otherwise, the Township
should dispose of assets in accordance with environmental regulations as required. Disposal of
assets should occur in accordance with the Official Plan.
5.6 Expansion Activities
Expansion activities should occur in accordance with the Official Plan, which utilizes a fiscally
responsible approach to development focussed on the Highway 11/71 corridor, which limits
financial exposure.
37
6.0 Financial Plan
6.1 General overview of financial plan requirements
In order for an AMP to be effectively put into action, it must be integrated with financial
planning and long-term budgeting. The development of a comprehensive financial plan will
allow the Township of Chapple to identify the financial resources required for sustainable asset
management based on existing asset inventories, desired levels of service and projected growth
requirements.
The following pyramid depicts the various cost elements and resulting funding levels that
should be incorporated into AMP's that are based on best practices.
This report develops such a financial plan by presenting several scenarios for consideration and
culminating with final recommendations. As outlined below, the scenarios presented model
different combinations of the following components:
a) The financial requirements for:
-
Existing assets
-
Existing service levels
38
-
Requirements of contemplated changes in service levels (none identified for
this plan)
-
Requirements of anticipated growth (none identified for this plan)
b) Use of traditional sources of municipal funds:
-
Tax levies
-
User fees
-
Reserves
-
Debt
-
Development charges (not applicable)
c) Use of non-traditional sources of municipal funds:
-
Reallocated budgets (not required for this AMP)
-
Partnerships (not applicable)
-
Procurement methods (no changes recommended)
d) Use of other orders of government funds:
-
Federal gas tax
-
Grants
If the financial plan component of an AMP results in a funding shortfall, the Province requires
the inclusion of a specific plan as to how the impact of the shortfall will be managed. In
determining the legitimacy of a funding shortfall, the Province may evaluate a municipality's
approach to the following:
a) In order to reduce financial requirements, consideration has been given to revising
service levels downward.
b) All asset management and financial strategies have been considered. For example:
-
If a zero debt policy is in place, is it warranted? If not, the use of debt should
be considered.
-
Do user fees reflect the cost of the applicable service? If not, increased user
fees should be considered.
-
Our organization recently attended the Ontario Good Roads Association
meeting in which both the Premier and Minister of Infrastructure encouraged
the carrying of a maximum of 11% debt load by municipalities. This is now
considered prudent as it multi-generational. Thus a 10-year plan to finance a
bridge would be viewed quite favourably by both Provincial and Federal
funding agencies.
39
This AMP includes recommendations that avoid long-term funding deficits
6.2 Financial information relating to the Township of Chapple's AMP
6.2.1 Funding objective
We have developed scenarios that would enable the Township of Chapple to achieve full
funding within 10 years for the following assets:
a) Tax funded assets - Road network, Bridges & Culverts, Facilities, Water & Wastewater,
Equipment, Other
For each scenario developed we have included strategies, where applicable, regarding the use
of tax revenues, grant revenues, reserves and debt financing. It should be noted that in
developing these scenarios it was projected that the percentage of total taxation revenue
allocated to capital projects will remain consistent with prior year's allocations. In years prior to
2016 approximately 32% of total taxation revenue was allocated to capital projects and this was
the percentage that was used for all projected taxation revenue dedicated to capital
throughout this financial plan. It should be noted that the level of taxation revenue that the
Township is able to dedicate to capital is quite exceptional as, for example, the City of Thunder
Bay is only able to allocate approximately 10% of its budget to capital.

6.2.2.2 Recommendations for full funding
The annual investment requirement for roads, bridges/culverts, facilities, water and
wastewater, equipment, other deferred maintenance and ongoing maintenance, and the
annual revenue allocated to these assets are:

Therefore, the cumulative annual surplus for capital investments is projected to be $1,735,561.
These infrastructure categories are projected to be funded via taxation revenue and Gas Tax at
100% of the townships long-term requirements assuming no additional capital spending other
than the maintenance costs projected.
The Township of Chapple budgeted for annual tax revenues of $955,086 in 2015. Planned
funding would require an increase in tax revenue corresponding to the projected annual
inflation rate.
42
We recommend that over the next 10 years an annual tax increase corresponding to the
annual inflation rate be implemented in order to achieve the required total tax revenue.
This involves full funding being achieved over 10 years by:
a)
Increasing tax revenues by the annual inflation rate each year for the next 10 years
solely for the purpose of full funding to the 6 asset categories covered by this AMP.
b)
Allocating 100% of the gas tax revenue (currently $42,912) to the roads category.
c)
Applying for grant funding as required.
It should be noted that several major capital outlays will be required in the next 5 years in order
to achieve all of the requirements outlined in the AMP. These major capital items consist of:
a)
The Water Treatment System requires $93,500 in improvements which include a
new backup pump, new Scada system, and new confined space equipment.
b)
The Lagoon requires $124,000 in improvements which include a new discharge line.
c)
Tait Road will require $203,450 in repairs and improvements including widening,
additional gravel, and rock blasting
d)
Marr Road will require $102,300 in repairs and improvements including widening
and ditching.
In performing our projections these expenditures were not assigned to any particular year
within the next 5 years. Instead these expenditures were projected in equal annual amounts
throughout the next 5 years as it was not possible for us to project specifically which year the
Township will perform these major repairs. This method ensures that all the expenditures are
recorded within the projections. However, it does fail to indicate that these large expenditures
will not be incurred in smaller annual amounts but will instead be incurred in larger less reliable
expenditure amounts. The overall affect by the end of the 5 year and 10 year projections will be
the same, however the actual expenditures will not be incurred as smoothly as these
projections indicate.
Although this option achieves full funding on an annual basis in 10 years and provides financial
sustainability over the period modeled (to 2050), the recommendations do require prioritizing
capital projects to fit the resulting annual funding available. Prioritizing these and future
projects will require the age based data to be replaced by condition based data.
43
6.3 Use of Reserves
6.3.1 Available Reserves
Reserves play a critical role in long-term financial planning. The benefits of having reserves
available for infrastructure planning include:
-
The ability to stabilize tax rates when dealing with variable and sometimes
uncontrollable factors.
-
Financing one-time or short-term investments.
-
Accumulating the funding for significant future infrastructure investments.
-
Managing the use of debt.
-
Normalizing infrastructure funding requirements.
By reserve type, table 7 outlines the details of the reserves available to the Township of
Chapple per the 2015 financial statements
Table 7: Summary of Reserves Available
Reserve Type
Balance
Reserve Funds
Capital
$463,005
Deferred Revenue

$138,407
There is considerable debate in the municipal sector as to the appropriate level of reserves that
a municipality should have on hand. There is no clear guideline that has gained wide
acceptance. Factors that municipalities should take into account when determining their capital
reserve requirements include:
-
Breadth of services provided
-
Age and condition of infrastructure
-
Use and level of debt
-
Economic conditions and outlook
-
Internal reserve and debt policies

The recommended plan will result in the Township of Chapple being able to complete all
recommended investments in the capital assets as outlined by the AMP. The financial plan will
result in the township annually increasing its tax rate by the annual inflation rate over the next
10 years. It is assumed that Gas Tax revenue will remain constant at $42,912 over the next 10
years as there is no indication from the information reviewed that these revenues will
significantly increase.
It should be noted that in preparing this financial plan several projections and estimates were
required and it is possible that actual future results could differ materially from the projections
and estimates that were utilized in preparing the above financial plan.

7.0 Lifecycle Management Strategy
7.1 Introduction
This section details the lifecycle management strategies required to achieve the proposed levels of service
outlined in Section 4.0. A lifecycle management strategy identifies the recommended lifecycle activities
required to achieve the levels of service discussed in Section 4.0. Within the context of this Asset
Management Plan, lifecycle activities are the specified actions that can be performed on an asset to ensure
it is performing at an appropriate level and/or to extend its service life. These actions can be carried out on
a planned schedule in a prescriptive manner, or through a dynamic approach where the lifecycle activities
are only carried out when specified conditions are met.
O. Reg 588/17 requires that all potential lifecycle activity options be presented, with the aim of analyzing
these options in search of identifying the set of lifecycle activities that can be undertaken at the lowest
cost to maintain current levels of service or to provide proposed levels of service. Asset management plans
must include a 10-year capital plan that forecasts the lifecycle activities resulting from the lifecycle
management strategy.
What follows are the lifecycle management strategies for all assets contained within this Asset
Management Plan, with each section focusing on an individual asset class.
7.1.1 Population and Economic Activity - Impact on Lifecycle Management
As of the 2021 Census, the Municipality had a population of 763. This represents a change of 18.7% from
its 2016 population of 643. This population growth, though minimal, may result in incremental service
demands that could impact levels of service in the future.
Climate change and severe weather events, including flooding and drought conditions experienced in 2021
and 2022, may have negative impacts on specific core assets, putting them under more stress, and likely
shortening their service lives. As a result, assets may need more frequent repair, maintenance, and
replacement in the future, which could impact the lifecycle activities detailed in Section 7.
47
7.2 Roads and Roads Related
7.2.1 Lifecycle Activities
This section will detail the lifecycle activities as identified through discussions with the municipality's Public
Works department. The lifecycle activities that the Municipality currently employs in the management of
its roads include patching, grading, gravel resurfacing, surface treatment, dust layer, ditching and brushing.
Table 7-1 details the maintenance treatments associated with undertaking these lifecycle activities, by
road surface type.

maintain ditches
*Assets like sidewalks, streetlights, and signs have a simple lifecycle - they are simply replaced if they are found not to be delivering the desired
level of service.
Figure 7-2 provides a 10-year forecast of expenditures for lifecycle activities and costs for all the
municipality's roads, based on lifecycle costs from 2021. As stated in Section 4, 90% of Chapple's road
network consists of gravel roads. The condition of gravel roads can deteriorate rapidly and is less costly to
improve through these lifecycle activities, such as routine grading and gravelling. As a result, most lifecycle
activities for roads are funded through the municipality's operating budget, rather than the capital budget.
The forecast illustrates the average annual expenditures, and the projected 10-year costs.

7.3 Bridges and Culverts
7.3.1 Managing Bridges and Culverts
O. Reg 104/97 requires that structural bridges and culverts be inspected every two years by professional
engineers. The Township of Chapple plans to manage bridges and culverts by completing the work
recommended in the inspection reports. By following the engineering recommendations, the municipality
believes it can continue to operate the bridges safely on an ongoing basis.
7.3.2 Lifecycle Activities
This section identifies a generalized lifecycle model for bridges and culverts. Minor rehabilitation, major
rehabilitation, and reconstruction have been included in the general lifecycle model.
In the 2021 OSIM report, lifecycle activities with a total cost of $7,350,500.00 were identified that needed
to be done over the next ten years. Table 7-3 shows the distribution of the costs of the projects over the
ten-year forecast period as recommended in the report.

7.4 Water and Wastewater Network
7.4.1 Managing the Network
By-Law 1675, dated July 24, 2018, authorized the Township of Chapple to enter into a 10-year agreement
with the Ontario Clean Water Agency (OCWA). OCWA provides management, operation, and maintenance
services in respect to the Municipality's water and wastewater treatment and lagoon facilities. O. Reg.
170/03 made under the Safe Drinking Water Act (2002), requires that the owner of a drinking water
system prepare an annual report on the operation of the system and quality of its water. The Township of
Chapple manages its water network by completing the work recommended in these annual and monthly
reports provided by OCWA and made publicly available on the municipality's website. In 2022, OCWA
developed an Asset Management Plan for Water and Wastewater Systems for the Township of Chapple. By
following the recommendations provided by OCWA, the municipality believes it can continue to operate
the water network safely on an ongoing basis.
7.4.2 Lifecycle Activities
This section will detail the lifecycle activities for Chapple's Water and Wastewater Network as identified by
the Ontario Clean Water Agency. The lifecycle activities that the Municipality currently employs in the
management of its water network is detailed in the publicly available monthly and annual reports
submitted by the Ontario Clean Water Agency, as well as the 2022 Asset Management Plan for Water and
Wastewater Systems. These reports also provide details of all non-routine maintenance, capital project
forecasting and estimated costs.
In the most recent report provided by OCWA, lifecycle activities with a total cost of approximately
$325,000.00 per year are needed over the next 20 years to achieve asset performance expectations for the
water and wastewater systems. This average annual spending needs include an estimated $5,500,000.00
for a large project associated with the new well supply. The average annual spending need is
approximately $80,000.00 per year for the water and wastewater systems when the $5,500,000.00 is
isolated from the analysis.
In the 2022 Asset Management Plan for Water and Wastewater Systems, lifecycle activities were identified
that needed to be completed over a 20-year period. Table 7-4 provides a summary of the anticipated
annual spending for these lifecycle activities.
