Project Study # 32<br />

Real Est<strong>at</strong>e Manager<br />

Project Description: A computer program th<strong>at</strong> tracks all Tampa Bay W<strong>at</strong>er property interests<br />

including: fee properties, permanent easements and interlocal easements, interlock<br />

agreements, license agreements and leased property. The Real Est<strong>at</strong>e Manager allows the<br />

user to have all the in<strong>for</strong>m<strong>at</strong>ion they need <strong>at</strong> their fingertips.<br />

Size of Utility: 135 employees<br />

Critical Success Factors: Integr<strong>at</strong>ion of the GIS and survey d<strong>at</strong>a with aerial photos; portability<br />

<strong>for</strong> the applic<strong>at</strong>ion to be deployed to all user groups <strong>at</strong> the agency’s three main offices and in the<br />

field.<br />

Cost: Approxim<strong>at</strong>ely $50,000 to develop this applic<strong>at</strong>ion given th<strong>at</strong> we already had the survey<br />

and GIS work ongoing to meet other needs.<br />

Alignment: Our l<strong>at</strong>est five-year management per<strong>for</strong>mance audit recommended increased<br />

deployment of real est<strong>at</strong>e d<strong>at</strong>a (real est<strong>at</strong>e in<strong>for</strong>m<strong>at</strong>ion being considered d<strong>at</strong>a) to user groups<br />

(which in this case includes designers, oper<strong>at</strong>ions and maintenance), and development of cross<br />

functional teams.<br />

Benefits: This applic<strong>at</strong>ion provides oper<strong>at</strong>ions/maintenance feedback on use of our property to<br />

guide future acquisitions (i.e., existing easement widths <strong>for</strong> compar<strong>at</strong>ive facilities) and better<br />

en<strong>for</strong>ce our existing land rights (against encroachment) as well as per<strong>for</strong>m our real est<strong>at</strong>e<br />

oblig<strong>at</strong>ions (mowing, maintenance of appearance, etc.) more efficiently.<br />
