Adopted FY 2015-16 Budget
Expenditure Overview
The FY 2016-2025 Capital Improvements Program
(CIP) totals
$1,481,303,218
.
Highlights
The
Infrastructure
Result
Area
equals
approximately $1.3 billion or 88% of the total
proposed CIP spending over the next ten years.
The result area consists of Engineering &
Inspections, Field Operations, Planning and
Community
Development,
Transportation,
Coliseum, and the Water Resources departments.
Projected Transportation capital expenditures over
the next ten years total just over $582 million,
which accounts for 45% of the Infrastructure Result
Area and 39% of the total proposed CIP. Projects
planned for FY 15-16 include the completion of
Phase I of the High Point Road Streetscape, the
streetscape near the planned LeBauer Park at the
Summit/Bellemeade/Davie intersection, work on
the Downtown Greenway, and a number of
sidewalk improvements and street maintenance
projects.
Water Resources projects totaling just over $550
million make up 42% of the Infrastructure Result
Area and 37% of the total proposed CIP. Water
and Sewer projects in FY 15-16 include starting a
major modification to the TZ Osborne Water
Reclamation Facility to increase plant hydraulic
capacity to 56 million gallons per day to provide the
capacity to absorb the flow increase from the future
decommissioning of the North Buffalo plant. Other
projects include ongoing water and sewer line
rehabilitation, expansion and renovations, and
various projects at the water and wastewater
treatment plants and smaller facilities.
The Field Operations Department has projects
totaling $96.9 million, which equates to 7.3% of the
Infrastructure Result Area and 6.4% of the total
proposed CIP. The proposed projects by Field
Operations include the Eugene Street Bridge
rehabilitation, and other ongoing street, sidewalk
and bridge maintenance.
Projects that fall within the Community Services
Result Area account for the second largest project
total of the four Result Areas, including $113.7
million in Parks and Recreation and Libraries
projects, or 7.7% of all projects over the next 10
years. Community Services projects planned for
FY 15-16 include a number of projects previously
approved by City Council, such as the Barber Park
Phase II project and Hester Park improvements.
Eighty-five percent of the Community Services
projects, or $96,279,228, are unfunded.
The Public Safety Result Area includes $53 million
in projects making up 3.6% of the total CIP.
Construction of new and replacement of aging Fire
Stations is the most common Public Safety project.
Construction of a new station on Burlington Road
(Station #65) is planned to be completed over the
next year. After the construction of that station,
remaining available funding for Fire Stations is
currently planned to be put toward the replacement
of the Franklin Boulevard Station (Station #56).
Another major Public Safety project is the
replacement of 800MHZ radios for Guilford Metro
911.
A number of major projects have been partially or
fully completed since the adoption of the previous
CIP, including the Griffin Community Recreation
Center, a major earthen dam project at Lake
Higgins and Lake Brandt, part of the Downtown
Greenway, and a variety of street and sidewalk
projects. Other needs, including primarily newly
identified infrastructure projects, have been
identified and added to the CIP. The net result is
that the total CIP for FY 16-25 remains just under
$1.5 billion.
