Capital Improvement Plan

Background

The Washtenaw County Road Commission revises its five-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) each year.  The current CIP is for 2012-2016 and was adopted by the Board of County Road Commissioners on December 8, 2011.  The CIP is designed to serve as a blueprint or guide for mapping the Road Commission’s capital expenditures by combining community planning, financial capacity and physical development.

The CIP is intended to:

  • Facilitate coordination between capital needs and the operating budget

  • Identify the most economical means of financing capital projects

  • Increase opportunities for obtaining federal and state aid

  • Relate public road and bridge facilities to other public and private development projects

  • Incorporate community objectives into project planning

  • Inform the public about future projects and plans

The 2012-2016 CIP

2012-2016 CIP BookletThe 5-year CIP is revised on an annual basis, unless otherwise directed by the Board of County Road Commissioners.  The 2012-2016 CIP was recently approved by the Board at its regular meeting held on December 8, 2012.  The CIP was based in part on projects requested by local municipalities.  This document will be used as a guide in upcoming budget discussions regarding permanent, physical, or system improvements to the county road network in excess of $100,000, or for significant equipment purchases in excess of $100,000 with a useful life of at least ten years.



Future CIP’s

Development of future CIP’s is a continuous process. Throughout the coming year, WCRC staff will work with our stakeholders in considering their needs for the next cycle of the CIP.  The CIP schedule of events will be posted in the spring of 2012.

Thanks to all of the stakeholders who provide input for consideration in the development of our CIP.
