These projects include street improvements, traffic signals, storm drains, sewers and wastewater treatment facilities, recycled water, potable water and water treatment facilities and wells, and community buildings, structures, recreational facilities.
The CIP Section plans, designs, estimates, prepares and reviews bid documentation including construction plans and specifications, provides project management, administration, inspection and technical assistance as needed on all City-related improvement projects. Projects are prioritized on the need to protect public health and safety, improve traffic circulation, eliminate recurring maintenance expenditures and to foster economic development and well-planned growth through the construction of infrastructure and facilities' improvements.
