$1,418,410,356
.
Highlights
The
Infrastructure
Result
Area
equals
approximately $1.27 billion or 89.2% 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 approximately $570 million,
which accounts for 45% of the Infrastructure Result
Area and 40% of the total proposed CIP. Projects
planned for FY 14-15 include work on the
Downtown Greenway, High Point Road
Streetscape, Horsepen Creek Road, and a number
of general sidewalk improvements and street
maintenance projects.
Water Resources projects totaling $514.2 million
make up 41% of the Infrastructure Result Area and
36% of the total proposed CIP. Water and Sewer
projects in FY 14-15 include a gravity sewer and
forcemain replacement at the Hilltop Road lift
station, the earthen dam maintenance project at
Lake Higgins and Brandt, ongoing water and sewer
line rehabilitation, expansion and renovations, and
various projects at the water and wastewater
treatment plants.
The Field Operations Department has projects
totaling $94.1 million, which equates to 7.4% of the
Infrastructure Result Area and 6.6% of the total
proposed CIP. The proposed projects by Field
Operations include 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 $96.3
million in Parks and Recreation and Libraries
projects, or 6.8% of all projects over the next 10
years. The McNairy Branch Library’s completion
leaves only Parks and Recreation projects as the
only Result Area projects planned for FY 14-15.
These include Hester Park improvements, trail
system expansion, Barber Park Phase II, and War
Memorial Stadium renovations. Of the $96.3
million of total projected projects for Parks and
Recreation and Libraries, $83 million are unfunded
requests that will be considered for future bond
referenda.
The Public Safety Result Area includes $54.9
million in projects making up 3.9% of the total CIP.
Construction of new and replacement of aging Fire
Stations is the most common Public Safety project.
Replacement of the Franklin Boulevard (#56)
Station and construction of a new station on
Burlington Road are scheduled during the next two
years. Another major Public Safety project is the
replacement of 800MHZ radios for Guilford Metro
911.
A number of major projects have been completed
and removed from the CIP over the last year,
including the new McNairy Branch Library, Science
Center improvements, Reedy Fork Fire Station,
and a number of large grant funded infrastructure
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 15-24 decreased slightly to
approximately $1.42 billion.
