The section on the right lists 3 bullets. The first bullet reads: Developed anonymized case studies from the pilot program. The second bullet reads: Case studies illustrate the application of different approaches described in the asset valuation guidance, including different perspectives on what value represents, different approaches for calculating initial value, and different approaches for calculating depreciation. The last bullet reads: Case studies are intended to provide helpful context to an external audience, describing the asset valuation practices used in the pilots in sufficient detail to support learning by other agencies.

Slide 7

Slide 7 is titled ‘Bridge Value Calculation Template.’ A shaded section on the right lists 3 bullets. The first bullet reads: A spreadsheet template for calculating bridge asset value using bridge inventory and condition data and parameters defined by the calculating agency. The second bullet reads: Used to calculate replacement value and remaining (current) asset value using two approaches: composite rating and age-based. The third bullet reads: Yields supplemental calculations for each of the three approaches, including: cost to maintain value and Asset consumption ratio (A C R). Below the shaded section are four boxes with the following test: 1, instructions; 2, summary results and parameters; 3 inventory and condition data; and 4, state remaining value and depreciation. On the right, an Excel spreadsheet is given with a line graph below.

Slide 8

Slide 8 is titled ‘Ancillary Asset Calculation Template.’ It contains two sections. The section on the left is a shaded blue box with 3 bullets. The first bullet reads the following: A spreadsheet template for calculating ancillary asset value using inventory and age data and parameters defined by the calculating agency. The second bullet reads: Intended to be used with assets with limited available data. The last bullet reads: The tool is used to calculate: Replacement value, remaining (current) value, cost to maintain value, asset consumption value (A C R), asset sustainability ratio (A S R). The section on the right is an Excell spreadsheet titled ‘N C H R P Project 20-44(46): Ancillary Asset Value Calculation Template.’
