City facilities staff say Limble CMMS selected; mid‑January go‑live planned

Facilities staff provided an update on the city’s effort to adopt a computerized maintenance-management system (CMMS).

Following an RFP and virtual interviews with multiple vendors, the city selected Limble, the presenter said. "We started the implementation in August," the facilities representative said, and staff have uploaded “over 400 assets into the system” and were approaching 1,000 preventive-maintenance tasks. The team cited a target go-live of mid-January.

The presenter said the CMMS will allow the department to move away from paper-based records, better monitor maintenance work, and build a more reliable capital-planning forecast. They also noted a third-party implementation partner is importing industry-standard task libraries and that future vendor partnerships — including an HVAC-efficiency startup introduced by the presenter — will be considered after the system is live.

Committee members asked whether the system uses artificial intelligence to predict equipment failure and to help schedule work across seasons. The presenter said the CMMS includes scheduling and standard maintenance libraries to distribute workloads and improve efficiency; residential analogs exist but fall outside the city deployment’s current scope.

Next steps: the facilities team will continue implementation, finalize the go-live schedule and follow up with committee staff and partners about opportunities to use CMMS data for capital forecasting.
