Frederick County Asset Management Project Recognized with High Performance Operations Award

Hunt Valley, Maryland (5 December 2022)—EA Engineering, Science, and Technology, Inc., PBC (EA), a leading provider of interdisciplinary environmental services, today announced that its Frederick County, Maryland Asset Management Project has been recognized with a High Performance Operations Award by Cartegraph, a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) developer that supports local government agencies in managing their infrastructure and physical assets and operations.

The award honors forward-thinking government agencies, higher education institutions, parks, and utilities who are building efficiency, solving problems, and improving communities through modern technology. Through the program, Cartegraph seeks to recognize innovators and early adopters that power decision-making with data, streamline processes, and embrace real-time smart city solutions.

Frederick County was recognized for adopting a combined comprehensive asset management and computerized maintenance management system to facilitate proactive management of workflows, scheduling of preventative maintenance, strategic prioritization of rehabilitation or replacement, and documentation of institutional knowledge. EA was brought in to serve as overall project manager for the implementation—overseeing development of a clear and concise statement of objectives, adherence to schedules and roadmap milestones, coordination between divisions, management of integrations with existing and new systems, and customization to meet individual needs. Now in its third phase of the implementation, the system is improving workflows within and across County divisions.

“EA kept the project on schedule and focused on both overarching and short-term management-specific goals,” said Jason Samus, Program Manager and Director, Digital Solutions. “Strong relationships with department personnel facilitated our understanding of existing and needed workflows, data structures, integrations, and training.” EA continues to support the County with ongoing implementation, training, and maintenance.

Based on this project’s success and the company’s interest in expanding its sustainable infrastructure offerings to new and existing clients, EA became a formal Business Partner with Cartegraph earlier this year.
