City of Paso Robles, California

Population (Year): 31759  (2021)

The City of Paso Robles faces several infrastructure challenges that impact the quality of life for its residents. One of the main issues is the need to maintain and upgrade aging roads and bridges, which are critical for safe and efficient transportation. Additionally, the city’s water and wastewater systems require significant investment to ensure reliable service and meet regulatory requirements. The city also faces challenges related to affordable housing and homelessness, which require investment in social services and infrastructure. Finally, the city must address the impacts of wildfires and natural disasters on critical infrastructure, including power lines and communication networks. Overall, addressing these infrastructure challenges requires significant investment in the city’s transportation, water, housing, and emergency management systems to ensure long-term sustainability and resilience.

Lift Stations Pipe Bridges Evaluation

2023

“City records indicate that both Lift Station #1 and #2 force mains were installed in 1975. Assuming a useful life of
75 ye ars for ductile iron pipe, both force mains will be due for replacement by 2050. However, coatings and
structural components will require routine maintenance to reach this estimated useful life. The assumed useful
life is an estimate used for planning purposes and may vary based on a variety of factors, therefore, the force
mains should be assessed in the next five years to confirm the need for, and timing of, maintenance, rehabilitation,
or replacement. This project will perform a comprehensive structural and condition evaluation of the Lift Station
#1 and #2 pipe bridges, abutments, and force mains. The evaluation will also include corrosion testing and non-
destructive wall thickness testing of force main coatings. This is anticipated for FY 2022-23.”

Stormwater Capture Conceptual Design

2024

“With the recent upgrade to tertiary treatment at the wastewater treatment plant, the City is investigating
opportunities to increase inflow into the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), in turn, increasing recycled water
production. The potential uses of the high-quality recycled water include groundwater recharge and irrigation for
facilities such as parks, vineyards, and golf courses. The City is envisioning diverted stormwater as a potentially
viable source for increasing WWTP inflow. This project entails the preparation of a Stormwater Diversion
Conceptual Design Report, building off the findings and preliminary siting identified in this Wastewater Collection
System Master Plan. The Stormwater Diversion Conceptual Design Report will include further investigation into
diversion infrastructure and siting, preparation of an alternative’s analysis, identification and evaluation of legal
and permitting constraints, and preparation of preliminary drawings and cost estimate for the recommended
alternative. The opinion of cost includes an allowance for preparation of an Initial Study for CEQA compliance but
may not include full scope for undefined supporting studies (biological, cultural, etc.). Follow on CEQA work, such
as a Mitigated Negative Declaration or Environmental Impact Report, are not included in this budget. The report
is anticipated for FY 2023-24.”

Lift Station No. 2 Rehabilitation

2026

“Much of the infrastructure at Lift Station #2 was identified during the lift station inspection visit to be nearing the
end of its useful life. Among the deficiencies are significant corrosion of the discharge piping,
manifold, valves, and bypass piping; cracking of the wet well liner; lack of structural support in the wet well hatch;
corrosion of the site fencing; and distressed onsite pavement. This recommended CIP project is to replace Lift
Station #2, including, but not limited to, replacement of the valve vault, pumps, piping and valves, pump controls,
and level sensing systems, along with site improvements including pavement repairs and replacement of the
perimeter fencing. The wet well will be evaluated to determine if it should be rehabilitated or replaced. This is
anticipated for FY 2025-26.”

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

Now, for business development, while the capital plan is interesting, the capital program is for capital expenditures that extends five to ten years beyond the capital budget.  Knowing the difference is important so you can influence upcoming program versus just responding to an RFP. If reading the CIP makes your head explode, or you want to save time, Request a Demo of Citylitics CIP dashboard with over 20,000 CIPs from USA and Canada.
