The MIACS Difference

Most Assessments Answer "What Do We Own?" MIACS Answers What Matters Next.

Knowing your asset inventory isn't the same as knowing where your risk actually is. Every MIACS engagement is built to answer the questions an asset list alone can't.

01
What assets are at greatest risk?
02
Which projects should be prioritized first?
03
Where should limited capital dollars go?
04
What operational vulnerabilities exist?
05
What should leadership address immediately?

Why MIACS

Engineering Firms Design It. We Evaluate It.

Engineering firms design infrastructure. Contractors build infrastructure. MIACS independently evaluates infrastructure — so City Management, Commissions, and Boards can make informed, defensible decisions about where risk is concentrated and where capital should go.

MIACS performs no design, construction, or product sales. There is no downstream contract riding on the conclusion of an audit, which means the risk ranking is the only outcome that matters — and the only thing we're selling is the finding itself.

Every recommendation is tied explicitly to a dataset, a stratification method, and a stated decision criterion — built to withstand scrutiny from auditors, commissions, regulators, and the public.

🛡️
Independent
No design, construction, or product sales — ever.
📊
Defensible
Conclusions traceable to data, not opinion.
✅
Actionable
Executive-ready, not engineer-only.
🔁
Repeatable
Governance frameworks that survive staff turnover.

  • Probability and consequence-of-failure scoring
  • Risk-ranked findings report for executive review
🗂️

Utility Governance Audit™

Review of compliance programs, SOPs, documentation, and operational controls behind the infrastructure itself.

SOP Review Institutional Controls
  • Documentation and recordkeeping review
  • Succession and institutional-knowledge risk review
  • Governance gap report with corrective priorities
🌧️

Stormwater & Flood Resiliency Audit™

Evaluation of drainage systems, flood vulnerabilities, and resilience programs ahead of the next storm season.

Flood Risk Drainage Capacity
  • Drainage system condition and capacity review
  • Flood vulnerability mapping by asset and area
  • Risk-prioritized resilience recommendations

MIACS Infrastructure Intelligence Framework™

A Repeatable Sequence, Not a One-Off Study

Every engagement follows the same structured sequence — from raw asset data to a capital decision leadership can stand behind. Lean Six Sigma's DMAIC discipline provides the analytical architecture underneath it.

The Origin of MIACS

Built From Practice, Not Theory

While leading utility and public works operations, MIACS Founder Jeff Odoms and his team found that infrastructure decisions were too often made reactively rather than strategically. To fix that, the department built a structured framework using risk-probability scoring, failure-history analysis, asset-age evaluation, population-impact analysis, and quantitative prioritization — the practical experience that became the foundation of MIACS.

Origin Story · City of Hallandale Beach, FL
Hallandale Beach Infrastructure Transformation
Pre-MIACS · Founder's Track Record
$300MTotal 10–15 Yr CIP Identified
$128MListed, Not Yet Prioritized
$85MRisk-Prioritized · Years 1–5
Risk-BasedAnalysis Method

Challenge: A $300 million, 10–15 year Capital Improvement Plan had been identified for the city's water, wastewater, and stormwater systems — but more than $128 million of those projects were simply listed, not formally prioritized, leaving leadership without a defensible way to decide what needed to happen first.

Solution: Risk-based infrastructure analysis — asset condition, failure history, service impact, and quantitative prioritization — was applied to that $128 million list to identify which projects genuinely needed to happen within the first five years. That discipline is now packaged as the MIACS Infrastructure Intelligence Framework™.

  • $85 million of the $128 million in listed projects was risk-prioritized for completion within the first 5 years of the 10–15 year plan
  • Improved infrastructure decision-making and operational oversight
  • Data-driven investment justification and improved infrastructure resilience

This describes practice developed by Jeff Odoms while leading municipal public works operations, prior to founding MIACS — not a MIACS client engagement. See public-record references →

MIACS Executive Dashboard™

Every Assessment Produces One Executive-Level Report

The MIACS Executive Dashboard™ is the deliverable at the center of every engagement — a single report giving City Management, Commissions, and Boards a clear read on risk and priority across six indices.

Index 01

Infrastructure Health Index™

Asset condition relative to age, design life, and observed performance.

Index 02

Operational Readiness Index™

How prepared day-to-day operations are to meet current demand and standards.

Index 03

Resilience Readiness Index™

Vulnerability to flooding, storms, and service disruption, and the plans in place to respond.

Index 04

Capital Readiness Index™

How well-positioned current capital plans are to address the highest-priority risks.

Index 05

Regulatory Compliance Index™

Standing against the documentation and operational controls regulators expect.

Index 06

Executive Risk Index™

A single roll-up score for what leadership should be paying attention to first.

The Executive Dashboard is a structured report delivered as part of an assessment engagement — not standalone software. Consistent with our independence, MIACS performs no design, construction, or product sales.
