The County of Spartanburg faces several infrastructure challenges that require ongoing investment and maintenance to ensure reliable and safe services. One of the key challenges is the maintenance and repair of the county’s roadways and bridges, which are essential for the movement of people and goods. The county must also address the need for improved water supply and wastewater treatment systems to accommodate the growing population and economic development. In addition, the county must invest in its public buildings and facilities to ensure they are safe and functional for public use. Finally, the county must work to address the impacts of climate change, including flooding and severe weather events, by developing and implementing resilient infrastructure solutions.

ERP Mobile Device Replacement
2024
“This project will provide funding for the replacement of mobile devices throughout the County. This project is aimed at
developing a systematic replacement approach for aging mobile devices so that equipment utilized by departments as part
of day-to-day operations remains in good useable condition. 60 iPads have been added to the County’s mobile device
inventory as part of the EnerGov implementation project. These devices will serve as the primary device used in the field
by Inspectors and Code Enforcement Officers to interact with the EnerGov system. Additionally, iPads have recently been
purchased for use by Council members. This project would replace approximately one fourth of those devices each year,
resulting in an approximate life span of 4 years, which is consistent with industry standards for replacement of this type of
hardware. Replacing mobile devices as they approach the end of their useful life will enable staff to serve citizens in a
timely manner as computer down time will be minimized.”

Munis Hardware Replacement
2025
“Funding for this project provides for a 4-year replacement cycle for hardware related to our Munis ERP software. Software
upgrades are included as part of the County’s annual software maintenance agreement; however, hardware will need to be
upgraded as well. Initial hardware that was purchased with the implementation of Munis was upgraded in FY 2021/22.
With plans to implement additional modules over the next few years, scheduled planning for hardware will be critical to
the continued success, stability, and reliability of the County’s ERP system.
This project supports Council’s strategic vision by ensuring that users of the County’s ERP system maintain efficiency in
their operations without being hampered by aging and inefficient software. Additionally, this project ensures that the
County maintains the necessary quality of service for existing Munis systems as well as for future planned modules.”

Fleet Services and Motor Pool Vehicle & Capital Equipment Replacement
2025
“This project provides for the replacement of Fleet and Motor Pool vehicles and capital equipment based on an annual
replacement schedule. No replacements are scheduled for FY 2022/23. Replacements are planned for FY 2024/25.
Replacing vehicles and capital equipment in a timely manner reduces repair expenditures and provides necessary
equipment for County staff to complete their work effectively, efficiently, and safely.
The total acquisition cost is shown in the table below. However, the Fleet Services Fund is classified as an Internal Service
Fund for financial reporting purposes; therefore, vehicle and equipment replacements are depreciated according to set
fixed asset useful lives rather than recording the cost in the year of acquisition. This process recognizes the expense of the
asset as it is used over its life span instead of recognizing the full expense when it is purchased. This process not only
improves the quality of cost accounting information for the Fleet Services Fund, but it also distributes the cost of the
equipment to all users of their services, not just the County’s General Fund.”

Sheriff Office HVAC Replacement
2024
“This project will provide for the replacement of HVAC units at the Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office located at 8045
Howard Street. The current units are 14 years old and reaching their maximum useful lives. Replacement will include
more efficient Energy Sufficient Trane RTUs, which will ultimately result in operating savings for the County.
This project supports Council’s objective of budgeting and allocating resources in the public’s best interest as well as that
of identifying, prioritizing, and addressing needs for service improvements. Addressing repair and/or replacement needs
in a timely fashion minimizes the long-term costs of ownership by preventing more costly repairs in the future that can
occur with aging equipment.”

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. 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.
