introduction

Local Government bodies need management systems too of course, and an important aspect of this is the control of their sub-contractors.

Our involvement came about from networking (amazing how many people you know after conducting >2000 management system audits) and in this case AardNet was approached to see if we could bring our auditing skills into a parks and reserves contract.

We soon identified that the project did not clearly lend itself towards a systematic auditing approach and we helped design a more objective style that has since been developed into a database reporting tool that:

bulletaddresses all the requirements of the performance specification by reporting on each feature and presenting them in an easy to read format
bulletprovides trending on an ward-by-ward basis
bulletprovides trending on both a month-to-date and year-to-date basis
bulletallows trending on an individual site basis (if required)
bulletclearly shows how the contractor is performing in the field
bulletprovides the basis for the allocation of penalties or bonuses

ongoing developments

Since that initial involvement more than 5 years ago we have also been involved in providing further services to local councils that include:

bulletconducting audits on all passive reserves
bulletconducting health and safety audits on all infrastructure contractors
bulletdeveloping audit criteria for a trees maintenance contract
bulletdeveloping audit criteria and key performance indicators (KPIs) for a city wide contract
bulletconducting audits on parks, reserves, wharves, playgrounds, hard surfaces and structures
bulletconducting audits on tree maintenance activities

The growth of the auditing responsibilities led AardNet into committing further resources into the development and enhancement of the database.  This has clearly had benefits for council, the contractor and the auditor alike.

The more audits we conduct the more digital photographs we acquire.  Consequently we gave some serious thought to streamlining the digital photograph transfer process.

Therefore we developed a password protected area within this web site so that clients can access thumbnails of the photographs used to capture passes and failures during an audit of their contract.  Clients are advised separately how to gain access to their photographs.

AardNet has developed a demonstration version of the database that clearly shows the benefits available from well laid out reports and information. 

Should you wish to have a look at the programme and some "dummy" reports then please contact us for details.
