The City of Yakima faces several infrastructure challenges that impact the daily lives of its residents. One of the main issues is the need to maintain and upgrade aging roads, bridges, and transportation systems to ensure safe and efficient travel. Additionally, the city’s water and sewer systems require significant investment to ensure reliable and efficient service. 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 natural disasters, including floods and wildfires, on critical infrastructure, including roads, buildings, 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.

Terminal Building Concept Study
2024
“The main terminal building was originally
constructed in 1950’s where it has witnessed multiple
expansion and remodeling phases in order to meet
passenger demands. The 2015 Airport Master Plan
conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the
facilities to include passenger demands, vehicle
parking, airline and rental car ticket counters, ground
transportation, passenger concessions, and baggage
claim requirements. Given the increasing demands
as well as the current building codes, it was
determined the main terminal building required
demolition and be developed with an updated
facility. Funding sources for this Concept Study include earmark, entitlement and discretionary funding from the
Airport Improvement Program administered by the FAA. The airport’s local funding match of 10% will be derived
from the Passenger Facility Charge program Total estimated cost: $800,000.”

HVAC Upgrade
2024
“The current Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Control System in the Capitol Theatre runs off a
very old laptop in order to access the antiquated operating system available at the time that the HVAC system was
installed. Modern systems cannot run the old operating system and our control of the air temperature in the facility
is reliant on that old laptop. The updated system provided by DIVCO works on modern computers, but DIVCO
does not provide an updated interface between the old and new systems. It requires its customers to purchase and
order the new system. Total estimated cost 2023 – 2024: $120,000.”

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:
- A listing of the capital projects or equipment to be purchased
- The projects ranked in order of preference
- The plan for financing the projects
- A timetable for the construction or completion of the project
- Justification for the project
- 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.
