Public Works mission with all Capital Improvement Programs (CIP) is to establish and maintain an efficient operation of all projects that provide superior quality to the citizens in our community, while striving to exceed all regulatory standards.

There are three (3) main steps taken for our Capital Improvement Programs.  First is Procurement, which covers, but not limited to advertising for professional architectural and/or engineering services, review proposals, interviews, selection of design professional, review contract and project costs, and continuous monitoring of contract throughout the project life.

Second, is Design.  This involves meeting with design professionals regarding project scope, monitoring of budget and schedule of project design, reviewing construction documents and design drawings with various City departments and regulatory agencies, preparing permit applications, coordinating equipment and advertising bid package for contractors. 

The final step is the Construction of the project.  This entails overseeing bids, contract award, and authorizing contractor to proceed.  The project and construction managers within the department must then review and sign the construction contract.  They coordinate acquisition of easements and right-of-way that may be required, assures that project changes remain within the original scope, time and limits of appropriated funds.   Managers review drawings for any changes due to field conditions, review and approve change orders and invoices prior to payment, manage project inspections, oversees that City safety policies are adhered to on site, tracks the project budget, monitors permit requirements, and communicates with regulatory agencies throughout the construction process.
