  • 2021 2025 City of Laredo
    Adopted Capital improvement plan 2021 2025 City of Laredo Adopted 2021-2025 Capital Improvement Program Capital Improvements The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) assists in the planning, acquisition, and financing of capital projects. Capital project funds are designated to account for all activity, revenues, and expenditures, on each capital project. Benefits of the City’s CIP include: Allowing the City to clearly assess its needs. Ensuring proposed projects will best serve the community. Promoting financial stability through long term planning of resources and needs. Educating and promoting collaboration among the Mayor, Council, and City management to ensure that the City’s vision is upheld. Definition The classification of a project as a capital improvement is based on the project’s cost and frequency of funding. A capital improvement is relatively costly and funded infrequently. Capital improvement projects will typically meet at least one of the following criteria: 1. Address or enhance the City’s assets. 2. New construction, expansion, renovations, or replacement of existing facilities have an expenditure of at least $25,000 over the life of the project. 3. Major maintenance or rehabilitation of existing facilities which require an expenditure of $10,000 or more have an economic life of at least 10 years. Capital improvement projects include the acquisition, construction, and improvement of major items. Major equipment (expensive and long useful life), new property (buildings, land, and parks), public improvement projects (road and park improvements, sidewalk/bikeway/path projects, etc.), facility improvements, and vehicle replacements are some examples of projects considered capital improvement. Ranking Criteria and Process The capital improvement projects, with the assistance of other support staff, are ranked numerous times by the Departments, City Manager, the Budget Department, and Director of Finance.
