Playground Replacement

2025

“The city parks system contains playgrounds at 11 sites ranging in size from the largest in Central Park to the smallest at McMullen Park (one Swing set). All playgrounds were evaluated to be placed in a long-range replacement program. The playgrounds were evaluated on
cost, age, use, condition, location, parts availability, relevance of play events, and other factors. The total anticipated replacement value of the playground system is over $2,700,000 over the next 15 years. This does include required safety surfacing. Where possible and feasible, playgrounds that receive low usage are being scaled down to just the smaller, more popular components of a playground (Swings, Merrygo-rounds and other action features). This project is ongoing, each playground is evaluated annually to determine repair and replacement needs. Locations scheduled for replacement include: Datsko (2021), McMullen (2021), Southwest Rocks/Net (2022), Highland VPK (2024). By providing safe, modern, and fun playground equipment for families and their children to enjoy ”

20th Street SW Sanitary Sewer Siphon Replacement

2024

The sanitary sewer collection system has a siphon located on 20th Street SW that transits under McKay Creek. A siphon by definition allows wastewater to flow through a pipe under low-lying areas or obstructions such as rivers, utilities, or other obstructions, where flow by gravity at these locations is impossible. The current siphon consists of two 4 inch pipes (barrels). It has reached the end of its lifespan and requires bi-weekly cleaning by the Environmental Services Department to prevent potential sewer backups to nearby businesses located on West Bay Drive. During the design phase in Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 the siphon will be modeled to determine the correct piping size and whether other nearby portions of the collection system require resizing to accommodate predicted future flow. The construction phase will take place in FY 2026 Comprehensive replacement of the collection system siphon. Instead of cleaning the siphon bi-weekly, the siphon would only need to be inspected quarterly at first to determine if there is any sediment accumulation and then switched to an annual inspection as determined.

How to Read a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for Business Development?

When a city, municipality or state issues a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP),  it can be overwhelming and daunting, but there are a few key things you need to investigate. Let’s start with the definition of CIP – A Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) contains all the individual capital projects, equipment purchases, and major studies for a local government; in conjunction with construction and completion schedules, and in consort with financing plans. The plan provides a working blueprint for sustaining and improving the community’s infrastructures. It coordinates strategic planning, financial capacity, and physical development. A CIP stands at the epicenter of a government’s Planning, Public Works, and Finance departments. When a CIP is issued, it typically includes the following information:

  1. A listing of the capital projects or equipment to be purchased
  2. The projects ranked in order of preference
  3. The plan for financing the projects
  4. A timetable for the construction or completion of the project
  5. Justification for the project
  6. Explanation of expenses for the project
