This document, a Scoring Evaluation Tech Memo, assesses and proposes enhancements to the Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA) Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) project prioritization method. It addresses identified limitations in the prior scoring system, which failed to adequately prioritize critically needed projects. The memo introduces a new equation that gives a 70% weighting to a project's 'single highest purpose and benefit' (Factor 1) and a 30% weighting to its overall benefits (Factor 2). This approach is designed to better align project scores with GLWA's strategic goals and objectives, emphasizing key criteria such as Regulatory compliance, Public Health & Safety, Condition, and Performance, to ensure more effective prioritization of CIP investments.
