Municipal lives for conveying (D10)

9 municipalities in Ontario and British Columbia state a life for conveying as a whole, in 9 distinct tables: 20–35 years, median 20. These come from capital asset policies: accounting lives, used for amortization. They describe the system rather than this component, and none is a measured life.

What this entry needs

  • Service life sources: municipal asset management plans and capital asset policies that state a life for it, manufacturer literature, or open research.
  • Maintenance tasks: manufacturer manual requirements, and standards referenced by clause number.
  • Replacement records: install and removal dates from real buildings. These are what eventually earn an entry grade A.

For agents

map_classification on the MCP server already matches asset register names like “VPL” to platform-lift, and returns entry_published: false until an entry exists.
