Recently added to the GI Library is the Green Rainwater Infrastructure Benchmarking Project is a new publication spearheaded by Exchange Re-Grant Program recipients at the City of Vancouver. The Green Rainwater Infrastructure Benchmarking Project aims to establish and reach a consensus on key performance indicators (KPIs) for evaluating and reporting the performance, maintenance, and renewal of Green Rainwater Infrastructure (GI) assets. These KPIs are used to benchmark the services provided by GI assets and to assess the associated costs and labor for their upkeep and renewal. This project seeks to enhance and streamline the efficiency, maintenance, and design of GI assets. Complete project deliverables can be found at https://nationalbenchmarking.com/ Benchmarking service levels in the following areas enables municipalities to offer measurable responses to common questions from stakeholders:
- Identify opportunities for performance improvement
- Establish peer-to-peer networking
- Implement tangible process improvement actions
- Secure necessary funding
