LATEST DEVELOPMENT REGARDING OUR SERVICES

Maintenance protocolWhen (re)developing areas, changes occur in the structure, use and amount of public space. These changes may have consequences for future maintenance and management costs. Increasingly, Buro CITE draws up maintenance protocols during the design phase of a project. This gives insight in the consequences of design for maintenance, which politicians can take in to account during the decision making process.

Guideline for designBuro CITE has developed guidelines and manuals for the design of public space for several councils. In a time where budgets are under pressure, and managing departments are more and more responsible for the whole maintenance process, there is a need to set guidelines for the standard principles for the design of public space. These guidelines describe all the requirements the design of public space must meet.

A guideline simplifies and clarifies communication with external parties (developers, engineers and consultants, contractors) and internal parties (new colleagues, other departments etc). It is also a good way to record the organization’s knowledge.

For more information see the factsheet “Guidelines for the design of public space”.

Sustainable procurementIn 2015 procurement by local authorities is required to be 100% sustainable. This principle should be included in the policy, management and the (maintenance) specifications.Buro CITE always adopts sustainable procurement and Social Return principles.

Survey of maintenance management costsCity- and towncouncils are obliged to keep their public space at a certain maintenance level. Buro CITE made a report for Enkhuizen town council which indicated the budget the council needs to keep its public space at the desired level.

BURO CITE PROJECTS

Using community oriented policiesNoordwijk town council has the ambition to improve the quality of life in the streets and bridge the divide between the public and the local government by using a neighbourhood oriented approach. Buro CITE has, in cooperation with the council, drawn up a policy which elaborates on the implementation of this community oriented approach ‘new style'.

Landscape maintenance planFor the period 2012-2017 a scheduled ground maintenance plan has been drawn up for all parks and open spaces within the municipality of Noordwijk. Through a management plan Buro CITE has given insight in the necessary maintenance measures and required resources (budget and staffing).

Public space management productsCyclus provides their services to various councils. To give insight in the various contracts Cyclus has with it’s clients, Buro CITE has made product descriptions for all their public space maintenance related services. For each product the corresponding workflow has been recorded.

Public space maintenance contractsBuro CITE draws up annual maintenance contracts for multiple clients (street care, weed control, street lighting, etc.). These are traditional maintenance specifications, open item specifications (call-off contracts) and image specifications.
