Capital Projects Dashboard

The project team workswith the community to identify and evaluate options for making the improvements needed to accomplish the project's goals. The phase ends with the selection of anoption to be implemented. Real estate acquisition for new building projects is typically complete during or prior to this phase.

The project team creates the detailed information needed to construct the improvement option that was selected during the planning phase. Details include plans and specifications. Design also includes any required permitting from federal or state governments, real estate acquisition for transportation and pipe projects and any required utility (underground gas, water and sewer lines, overhead power, telephone and television lines) relocation. During design, the city uses a competitive bidding process to procure the services of contractors as needed to build the project. By state law, the lowest responsible bidder is awarded the construction contract. VisitDoing Business with the Cityfor a comprehensive listing of contracting opportunities across the city.

Residents, property owners, business owners and other stakeholders in the vicinity of the construction site are notified when work is expected to begin and end. For projects that affect a large or highly populated area, a web page is created (and linked from the dashboard project) to post project details and updates. In some cases, stakeholders can subscribe to email or text notifications for project updates. Once construction is underway, an inspector visits the site daily. Large projects require an inspector to remains on-site full time. Once construction nears completion, landscaping may be installed and may include trees and shrubs. Landscaping can only be installed during planting season (typically October through March). This may cause a delay between construction completion and landscaping installation.

This phase indicates that all work has been completed, but the project may still be in warranty, meaning all work is guaranteed by the contractor for a minimum of one year. The contractor will repair any deficiencies in their work during the one-year warranty.
