20 Sustainability is material to airport procurement decisions because it helps integrate infrastructure decisions with the broader business objectives of the airport, including its role and reputation with the community. This chapter continues the discussion about procurement processes, this time showing how the financial, social, and environmental impacts of the airport on the community can be taken into consideration as part of asset planning and procurement decisions in order to ensure an airport's asset management program incorporates the costs and risks of resiliency and resource management concerns.

Building Information Modeling in the asset Management Life Cycle 29 This ability to define and request information in formats that align with organization needs creates a framework that can be used for various functions such as planning applications, operations review, and update of asset inventories/systems. An asset will go through many stages in its life cycle and some understanding of the typical stages is required so that the impact of BIM can be optimized.
