Engineering and Construction Division

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN
The Engineering and Construction Division is responsible for managing the design and construction of the projects in the city’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).  The CIP is a list of projects categorized by type and budgeted in a five-year projection plan.

The projects included have been proposed based on service standards, to meet regulatory mandates, or to address and remedy poor road, drainage, or traffic conditions. These projects include traffic calming; drainage; roadways & infrastructure improvements; water distribution; sidewalks; and street lighting. 


Capital improvement projects are defined as projects that are self-contained and that will usually be constructed or purchased as a unit. A CIP generally includes only those items constructed or purchased that have a useful life extending beyond a five (5) year period following their acquisition or purchase or have an estimated useful life of 3 years or more. Minor recurring annual expense items, including routine maintenance and repairs, are excluded from the CIP. Preliminary engineering studies for infrastructure improvements are generally itemized as capital expenditure items due to their significant cost and impact on the capital improvement program.
