A Condition Index (CI) is a snapshot look at the physical condition of a structure or structure component. CIs for Civil Works infrastructure were developed at the direction of the Civil Works Directorate Headquarters, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as part of the Operations Management Problem Area of the Repair, Evaluation, Maintenance, and Rehabilitation research program to assist in the prioritization and justification of the operations and management (O&M) budget. This working document describes how CIs were developed, what they were intended to accomplish, current and potential benefits from using CIs, and current policy relative to CI utilization. The O&M Management Tools program, scheduled for funding in FY00-02, allows this opportunity to reassess CIs and ensure they both meet their original and modified design intent and are sufficiently user friendly to assure technology transfer and utilization. |
