City of Surprise, Arizona

Population (Year): 149.191  (2021)

The City of Surprise, located in Maricopa County, Arizona, faces several infrastructure challenges. One of the main challenges is water scarcity, which requires the city to find alternative water sources to meet the increasing demand. Another significant challenge is transportation infrastructure, including the need for new road construction and improvement of existing roads to accommodate the growing population. Additionally, the city faces challenges in maintaining and upgrading its sewer and wastewater systems to meet the environmental standards and comply with the regulations set by the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality. Finally, there is a need for the city to improve and expand its parks and recreational facilities to meet the growing demand of the community.

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.
