Today’s Presentation
•Sharla – How the money goes from $250M total to $250K for line painting in your CMA•Rick – PMA: how to set up job numbers, allocate to activities, and forecast by activity
Budget Allocations•Programming gives the Budget Allocation Task Group (BATG) $250 Million for maintenance of provincial highways for 2008/09.•BATG – with Terry Becker heading this OPMC sub-committee, knows this value in summer 2007•BATG walks through the following process to get $250 Million allocated down to activities in your CMAs:
$250M
$250M
Remove Money for other programs:Bridges/Cities/Guardrail/Culverts/Signs/Reserves/etc.

Importance of Forecasting•Please use PMA so we can access everyone’s info from one place•We don’t have to ask every District/CMA for information; we just query PMA directly•PMA gives standard forecasting format•Gives us (“Edmonton” and BATG) idea of status final budget spending• Turn money tap up, down, or OFF
Using PMA for TRACKING BUDGETS AND FORECASTING
1. SET UP the JOB NUMBER IN PMA (summer, winter, major maintenance, special funding, etc)
2. ALLOCATE BUDGET $$ TO SPECIFIC ACTIVITIES (valid for the specific job number)
3. ENTER BUDGET FORECASTS (by activity or bid item / monthly or annually)
4. REPORTING
Budget tracking and forecasting in PMA is done at the job number level. Budget forecasting can be done by BID ITEM or by ACTIVITY.
The following slides will walk you through the steps necessary to begintracking and forecasting your budget within PMA (by activity). The basic steps to follow are…….
SET UP JOB NUMBER (this step may be restricted to OM or OE in some districts)
• select the CMA(s) which will be able to charge work to this job number
• select activities that are applicable under this work order • select segment types (i.e. pavement, shop, CMA, etc.)• save budget allocation (total funds approved/allocated to
this job number)

Allocating Budget to Work ActivitiesADDING A NEW ACTIVITY
ADD a new budget item by using the pull-down to select from the available activities. NOTE…only activities that were defined when setting up the job number will appear in this pull-down.
Allocating Budget to Work Activities
……….if an Accepted worksheet exists that references this activity then it gets
just a bit more complicated.
If this work order is a CLOSED, PMA takes the Pay Quantity off the Worksheet Item. HOWEVER if a Final Quantity exists on the Worksheet Item,
PMA will use that instead.OR
If this generated work order is not Closed, PMA will use the greater value of Pay Quantity (Final
Quantity if one exists) or the Quantity on the Work Order.
(The latter case assumes that more work will be recorded in the worksheets, and the ordered quantity is still the true committed amount.)
WHAT IS COMMITTED??This is the dollar amount considered
‘committed to be spent’. It primarily comes off the Work Order Line Items, i.e. the quantity of a bid item on a generated work order multiplied
by the unit price. (Only non-warranty work is considered.)

WHAT IS COMMITTED??This is the dollar amount considered
‘committed to be spent’. It primarily comes off the Work Order Line Items, i.e. the quantity of a bid item on a generated work order multiplied
by the unit price. (Only non-warranty work is considered.)
WHAT IS SPENT??This is the amount that sums up all the
work that has been performed and is in one of various stages of payment:
• Submitted and Accepted on a Worksheet (may or may not have been paid on a Progress Estimate
yet)
• Progress Estimate Value Adjustments on Finalized Progress
Estimates
• Progress Estimate Quantity Adjustments on Finalized Progress
