(a) The lives are generally based upon NZ Infrastructure Asset Valuation and Depreciation Guidelines – Version 2.0. In specific cases these have been modified where, in the opinion of MWH and GDC, a different life is appropriate. The changes are justified in the valuation report.
(b) The component level of the data used for the valuation is sufficient to calculate depreciation
separately for those assets that have different useful lives.

In summary the 2017 RAMM valuation aligns well with the 2016 RAMM valuation, with some notable exceptions that will be explained in this report. Council continues to better utilise RAMM, continuing to grow and invest time in collection and auditing of assets. This year Council have undertaken major data collection and validation on both the retaining walls and railing tables. This investment helps to better manage their network with a more robust understanding of the assets they are responsible for. With better field validations and data collection, Council can have additional confidence in the valuation process, making adjustments to the lives of assets based on robust information and local knowledge. This relates the 2017 valuation more closely with current design practices and council procedures. It is also important for Council to monitor these changes as they have had a significant impact on the value of their assets.

4 Valuation Methodology
4.1 Scope
The scope of this valuation is to determine the replacement cost, depreciated replacement cost, and annual depreciation cost associated with GDC’s roading assets as at 30 June 2017. The valuation of the roading network has been completed to the appropriate component level.
The general components under which the assets have been valued are: • Land • Formation • Pavement (Structure and Surfacing) • Drainage • Surface Water Channels • Footpaths • Traffic Facilities • Minor Structures • Signs • Railings • Street Lights • Bridges and Bridge Culverts • Car Parks
The majority of the information for valuing the above components was sourced from the Road Assessment and Maintenance Management (RAMM) database. Enhancements have needed to be made to the various tables within the database so that the valuation software would run smoothly. Where data is missing, assumptions have been made to enable the valuation to be completed. These enhancements and assumptions are discussed further in the detail sections of this report.
GDC has utilised the RAMM Administrations Asset Valuation Module (RAVM) for the majority of components for this valuation. See Table 4-1 for a summary in data confidence.

Asset Description Confidence Comments
Land B – Reliable The land uses an assumed reserve width where this is not available.
Formation B – Reliable The formation valuation uses assumed pavement extra width allowances that have been calculated based on local engineering knowledge.
Sealed Pavement Surface
A – Highly Reliable No assumptions have been made.
Sealed Pavements B – Reliable The sealed pavement valuation uses assumed pavement depths and extra width allowances that have been calculated based on local engineering knowledge. 58% of pavements use the default construction date (50% of TUL) as they have no construction information.
Unsealed Pavements B – Reliable The unsealed pavement valuation uses assumed pavement and wearing course depths that have been calculated based on local engineering knowledge.
Drainage B – Reliable Some issues with the classification of bridge culverts.
Surface Water Channels
B – Reliable 97% of surface water channels use the default construction date (50% of TUL) as they have no construction information.
Footpaths A – Highly Reliable No assumptions have been made.
Traffic Facilities C – Uncertain Some data provided by others. Uncertain of accuracy.
Minor Structures B – Reliable These assets were added in 2003 and 2011 when better data collection processes were in place. However no construction dates have been recorded.
Signs B – Reliable 30% of signs use the default construction date (50% of TUL) as they have no installation information.
Railings B – Reliable 5% of railings use the default construction date (50% of TUL) as they have no construction information.
Street Lights B – Reliable 96% of streetlight poles brackets and lamps use the default construction date (50% of TUL) as they have no construction information.
Bridges and Bridge Culverts
B – Reliable Some issues with the classification of bridge culverts (see notes on Drainage). 18% of bridges and 99% of bridge culverts use the default construction date (50% of TUL) as they have no construction information.
Car Parks C – Uncertain 100% of car parks use the default construction date (50% of TUL) as they have no construction information.
Based on NZ Infrastructure Asset Valuation and Depreciation Guidelines – Version 2.0, Table 4.3.1: Data confidence grading system.
A – Highly Reliable Data based on sound records, procedure, investigations and analysis which is properly documented and recognised as the best method of assessment.
B – Reliable Data based on sound records, procedures, investigations and analysis which is properly documented but has minor shortcomings.
C – Uncertain Data based on sound records, procedures, investigation and analysis which is incomplete or unsupported, or extrapolation from limited sample for which grade A or B data is available.
D – Very Uncertain Data based on unconfirmed verbal report and/or cursory inspection and analysis.

4.2 Network Statistics
The following statistics summarise the GDC’s roading network as at 30 June 2017. This information has been obtained from the treatment length table of the RAMM database.
The lengths are calculated as the sum of the end displacement minus the start displacement (rather than the sum of the lengths). While this effectively double count the areas at intersections, it is considered to be offset by the intersection flares, which are not included.
Network statistics are based on this method to allow for direct comparison with the treatment length table, which also uses the end displacements minus the start displacements. These statistics can then be used to confirm the lengths in the Formation, Surfacing and Pavement valuations. These tables do include bridges that have their own treatment length; these are excluded when calculating formation and pavement.

4.3.2 Data Verification
The RAMM database has been checked and any issues, errors, or missing data that need to be addressed before the valuation could run were identified and passed onto the RAMM team for updating.
4.3.3 Significant Assumptions
The default construction date will be 50% of the Total Useful Life (TUL) – unless it is otherwise stated – and only used where there is no construction date contained in RAMM. Default dates are calculated as the first of January of the year that would make the asset halfway through its life.

2017 Road Asset Valuation
Status: Final July 2017 Project No.: 80507996 Page 14 Our ref: GDC Valuation 2017 - FINAL
Straight-line depreciation has been used in this valuation except where assets are deemed not to depreciate.
All assets that have been valued in RAVM have been identified as asset owner “L” (or “LA” in the signs table) for Local authority in the RAMM database.
All replacement rates, where appropriate, have included in the cost an amount for removal and disposal of the existing asset, an amount for site establishment, and an amount for the formation, supply, placement, shaping, etc., of materials.
All significant assumptions were reviewed by Council prior to the 2015 full valuation and confirmed as appropriate for the purposes of running the 30 June 2017 valuation.
4.3.4 Obsolescence
Potential physical, functional and external obsolescence has been considered in terms of the Application Guidance to PBE IPSAS 17. The replacement cost of bridges and culverts is calculated as the cost of building it “today”. It is assumed that modern equivalent construction techniques and materials are used but that the physical result replaces the asset as it exists. For this valuation we have assumed that all bridges and culverts will be replaced with a similar dimensioned concrete bridge/culvert.
4.3.5 Impairment
We have also considered impairment of assets as defined in PBE IPSAS 21. This new Standard does not specifically require impairment testing in a periodic revaluation of non-cash generating assets. However during the course of our valuation no assets have been identified, or been brought to our notice that we would consider to be impaired.
4.3.6 Unit Replacement Costs
For this revaluation we are utilising cost adjustment factors provided by the New Zealand Transport Agency. These factors, for the period 31 March 2016 to 31 March 2017 are as follows: Maintenance = 1.0338, Bridges = 1.0465, Reseals = 1.0202 and Construction = 1.0343 (used for all other assets). In the same period, the median property price for the Gisborne region has increased by 2.0%.
4.3.7 Total Useful Lives
All total useful life assumptions were reviewed by Council in 2016 and confirmed as appropriate for the purposes of running the 30 June 2017 valuation.
4.3.8 Residual Lives
For the purposes of this valuation we have assumed that assets have no residual value except for footpaths and pavement subbase.
4.3.8.1 Footpaths
RAVM does not currently have the ability to deal with footpaths in components and does not allow them to be broken down into basecourse and surface components. To deal with this we have used the residual value field, where necessary, as the cost of the basecourse. The replacement rates for footpaths include the cost of the footpath basecourse and surface.
4.3.8.2 Pavement Subbase
50% of pavement subbase has been assumed to depreciate to allow for the reconstruction work undertaken at the time of pavement reconstruction. To account for this a residual value equivalent to 50% of the pavement subbase cost has been used.

Status: Final July 2017 Project No.: 80507996 Page 15 Our ref: GDC Valuation 2017 - FINAL
4.3.9 Minimum Remaining Useful Lives
The Minimum Remaining Useful Life is applied to assets that are older than their useful life. It recognises that although an asset is older than its useful life it may still be in service and therefore have some value. Where an asset is older than its standard useful life, the minimum remaining useful life is added to the assets age and used in the calculation of the depreciated replacement value. The minimum remaining useful lives of assets in this valuation are included in the asset assumption tables, and in Table 4-6. Where an asset description has NA it indicates an asset type that is either deemed to not depreciate, or has a one year Total Useful Life.

4.3.10 Restoration/Dismantling/Removal
All replacement rates include, where appropriate, an amount for removal and disposal of the existing asset, an amount for site establishment, and an amount for the formation, supply, placement, shaping, etc. of materials.
4.3.11 Activity Management Plan Review
The assumptions used in this valuation have been reviewed to ensure they are in line with current best practice and with the Council’s 2015/25 Long Term Plan (LTP). Areas where the valuation differs from the 2015/25 LTP are listed below.
4.3.11.1 Activity Management Plan
A comparison between the Activity Management Plan (AMP) and this valuation has been conducted. It is believed any differences in useful life information is more a result of the AMP being at a summarised level than the detailed valuation information.

7 Formation
This item comprises bulk earthworks (excluding retaining structures) required to form the road corridor. It is not possible to accurately determinate the quantities involved, as much of the construction was completed on a progressive basis over the earlier part of last century when detailed records were not kept.
Formation includes all earthworks necessary to prepare the cut and fill batters and bring the road foundation up to the underside of the subbase. It also includes formation of swale drain, side drains and shoulders.
The formation is assumed not to depreciate as regular maintenance (slip clearing, etc.) will allow it to provide adequate service indefinitely.
Each rate included an allowance for: i) Engineering fees (10%).
ii) Clearing vegetation and stripping topsoil.
iii) Bulk earthwork costs (cut-to-fill, borrow-to-fill, etc.).
iv) Preparation of subgrade (over excavation in “soft” areas).
The replacement cost for formation is calculated as the length x (width + extra) of the treatment length multiplied by the square metre rate. The extra width allows for additional shoulder, feather edge and surface water channel (SWC).

9 Sealed Pavement Layer Structure
Pavement structure includes that of the subbase and basecourse layers.
The rates allow for: i) Engineering fees (10%)
ii) Supply, placement, shaping and compaction of layers.
Note that the capital cost of installing first coat seals has been allowed for as part of the sealed basecourse.
50% of pavement subbase has been assumed to depreciate to allow for the reconstruction work undertaken at the time of pavement reconstruction.
This layer depth information is stored in previously empty fields in the Treatment Length table that the valuation module then uses to calculate the pavement volume. Basecourse depths are stored in ‘dtims_p020 (percent passing through a 2.0mm sieve)’ and subbase depths are stored in ‘dtims_p425 (percent passing through a 0.425mm sieve)’.
Table 9-1 contains the matrix used to estimate the structure of existing pavements.
Table 9-1: Matrix for Estimating Sealed Pavement Structure
Hierarchy Depth Estimates (mm)
Basecourse Depth Subbase Depth
Arterial 150 200
All Others 100 150
The replacement cost for pavement layers are calculated as the length x depth x (width + extra) of the treatment length multiplied by the cubic metre rate. The extra width allows for additional pavement under the shoulder and batter slopes (see Figure 9 1 and Table 9 2). Extra widths are calculated through analysis of the shoulder widths plus an allowance for the batter slopes. Basecourse extra widths are stored in the ‘dtims_growth_light’ field of the treatment length table and the subbase extra widths are stored in the ‘dtims_growth_heavy’ field. Treatment lengths are considered to have surfaced SWC if more than 40% of the total possible SWC length (twice the length of the treatment length) consists of surfaced SWC.
Table 9-2 below shows the extra allowances.
Table 9-2: Sealed Roads Extra Width Allowances
Component Rural Sealed without KCC Urban Sealed without KCC Sealed with KCC
Arterial Basecourse 0.45m each side 0.45m each side 0m each side

10 Unsealed Pavements Layers
Unsealed pavements are separated into wearing course and basecourse (valued as subbase) components. The estimates of basecourse depth are based on local knowledge and were provided by the GDC. Regular maintenance of the wearing course, through replacement of lost metal, ensures the basecourse layer will be unaffected by surface wear and tear and will provide a service indefinitely.
The rates allow for: i) Engineering fees for unsealed basecourse (6%).
ii) Engineering fees for unsealed wearing course (6%).
iii) Supply, placement, shaping and compaction of layers.
GDC replenishes the required pavement structure on a cyclic programme. Table 10-1 shows the matrix developed for this calculation. This layer depth information is stored in previously empty fields in the Treatment Length table that the valuation module then uses to calculate the pavement volume. Wearing course depths are stored in ‘dtims_p020 (percent passing through a 2.0mm sieve)’ and basecourse depths are stored in ‘dtims_p425 (percent passing through a 0.425mm sieve)’.

11 Drainage
This component covers the following drainage assets only: • Culverts (with end areas less than 3.4m2).
• Canvas socks.
• Sumps.
• Subsoil drains.
• Flume down batters.
• Headwalls.
NZTA classifies any culvert with an end area greater than or equal to 3.4m2 as a bridge and as such, they are valued together with the bridge valuation.
The rates allow for: i) Engineering fees (12%).
ii) Supply, placement and compaction of backfill.
The RAMM database has many different culvert material types that when replaced would be replaced with concrete pipe.
The replacement value for earthenware, steel, wood, aluminium, PVC, etc. have had the concrete value assigned to give a more accurate modern equivalent replacement cost.
Where culverts diameters are missing, we have assumed that they are the most common size of 300mm.
Table 11-1 shows the total valuation results for all assets.

13 Footpaths
This component includes all footpaths in the road network. Footpaths in this valuation use the residual value fields in RAMM. This is because RAVM does not currently have the ability to deal with footpaths in components. The RAVM software does not allow for footpaths to be broken down into its basecourse and surface components. To deal with this we have used the residual value field, where necessary, as the cost of the basecourse. The replacement rates for footpaths include the cost of the footpath basecourse and surface. The basecourse layers are assumed to depreciate or not depreciate as per Table 13-1 and the residual values (the cost of the basecourse) have been included to allow for this.
Table 13-1: Footpath Depreciation
Footpath Type Depreciation
Concrete No depreciation of basecourse
Asphalt 25% depreciation of basecourse
Sealed 25% depreciation of basecourse
Slurry Seal 50% depreciation of basecourse
Pavers 100% depreciation of basecourse
The rates allow for: i) Engineering fees (6.5%).
ii) Formation, supply, placement, shaping and compaction of layers.
Table 13-2 shows the total valuation results for all assets.

Council have undertaken a data collection and validation exercise on the Retaining Walls assets, which are now stored and valued in the Retaining Walls table. Previously these assets were stored in the Traffic Facilities table, with limited information attached. Now that there is more complete construction, dimension and material type data attached to these assets, it is recommended that the way these assets are valued should be reviewed and that the new dataset is cross compared with the old dataset in order to ensure that all retaining walls data is complete and accurate.
Additionally, Traffic Signal assets have been moved from the Traffic Facilities table into the Traffic Signal table prior to this valuation, and are now valued in the correct table.

The concrete fords are assumed to have twin culverts set under a concrete pad as a standard. However there are fords that could be of a different configuration. Future data collection could focus on the arrangement of each ford for a more accurate valuation.
Metal fords have not been valued as more needs to be known of the asset and costs in terms of maintenance as these are usually natural causeways through waterways that council have maintained for economic benefit to the region.

19 Bridges and Bridge Culverts
This component includes bridges and bridge culverts with end areas greater than 3.4m2.
The replacement cost of a bridge is calculated as the cost of building it “today”. It is assumed that modern equivalent construction techniques and materials are used but that the physical result replaces the bridge as it exists. For this valuation, we have assumed that all bridges will be replaced with a similar dimensioned concrete bridge or culvert.
This year footbridges were moved from the Minor Structures table to the Bridge table.
Bridge approaches have been valued in the formation, pavement surfacing and pavement structure sections of this report. Any railings attached onto the bridges have been valued with the bridges.
The rates allow for: i) Engineering fees for bridges and bridge culverts (12%).
ii) Substructure formation and construction.
iii) Superstructure construction.
The remaining life of a bridge or bridge culvert is dependent on a number of factors. For the purpose of this valuation we have assumed that the most predominate factor is the superstructure construction material.
Table 19-1 shows the total valuation results for bridges and bridge culverts.

20 Car Parks
This component includes car parks owned by Council, and was valued using a spreadsheet.
The Rates allow for: i) Engineering fees for surface water channels (6.5%).
ii) Engineering fees for all other components (5%).
Table 20-1 shows the total valuation results for car parks.
The asset information associated with car parks has yet to be collected therefore we have assumed the following. These assumptions are in line with those made for the sealed pavement structure (sealed pavement with KCC not an arterial). • Formation extra width = 4 metres. • Basecourse depth = 100mm. • Subbase depth = 150mm. • Basecourse extra width = 0 metres each side. • Subbase extra width = 0.3 metres each side. • Surfacing is single coat seal (reseal).

22 Completed Improvement Actions
The following recommendations have been undertaken during the year to improve the RAMM database. They are all recommendations made in the 2016 valuation.
Table 22-1: Completed Improvement Actions
Recommended Improvement Actions
Action Taken
Construction Dates
Drainage, streetlights, and surface water channels are missing almost all of their construction dates. Bridges and signs have large percentage of assets missing construction dates. Investigate other sources of construction date data. Ensure construction date data is recorded for all assets in the future.
On-going updating is occurring through inspections as part of maintenance contracts.
Missing Data
Collect and record in RAMM all missing asset data including, but not exclusive to, railings, footbridges, ADLS (large cantilever signs), retaining walls and stock underpasses.
On-going data collection is taking place with new assets being added to RAMM when identified through field visits

23 Glossary
Annual Depreciation
The Annual Depreciation is the amount the asset depreciates in a year. It is defined as the replacement cost minus the residual value, divided by the estimated total useful life for the asset.
Depreciation
Depreciation is a measure of the consumption of the economic benefits embodied in an asset. It distributes the cost or value of an asset over its estimated useful life. Thus depreciation only applies to those assets with finite lives. Assets with infinite lives (e.g. Land, Formation and Subbase) are not depreciated. Straight-line depreciation is used in this valuation.
Depreciated Replacement Cost
Depreciated Replacement Cost is the current replacement cost less allowance for physical deterioration and optimisation for obsolescence and relevant surplus capacity.
Where the remaining life of an asset can be assessed, the Depreciated Replacement Cost has been calculated as:
Remaining useful life X (replacement cost – residual value) + residual value
Total useful life
Note: That for assets that have exceeded their Total Useful Lives (TUL) the Adjusted Total Useful Life is calculated as the age of the asset plus the Minimum Remaining Useful Life (MRUL).
Minimum Remaining Useful Life (MRUL)
The Minimum Remaining Useful Life is applied to assets that are older than their useful life. It recognises that, although an asset is older than its useful life, it may still be in service and therefore have some value. Where an asset is older than its standard useful life, the minimum remaining useful life is added to the standard useful life and used in the calculation of the depreciated replacement value. The minimum remaining useful lives of assets in this valuation are included in the asset assumption tables.
Optimised Replacement Cost
The Optimised Replacement Cost is the cost of building the asset “today”. In arriving at the value, it is assumed that modern construction techniques and modern equivalent materials are used, but that the physical result replaces the asset as it exists.
Residual Value
The Residual Value is the value of the asset when it reaches the end of its life. For the purposes of this valuation we have assumed that all assets have no residual value. The residual value has been removed due to the minimum remaining useful life being a more appropriate way of valuing assets that have reached the end of their TUL.
Total Useful Life (TUL)
The Total Useful Life is the period over which an asset is expected to be available for use by an entity.
