The Capital Improvement Projects include roadway realignment, storm drainage improvements, sidewalk installation, bus pads, and speed humps. The Construction Management team plays an essential role in the City's Capital Improvement Projects. Activities include the following:

  • Approve submittals of manufacturers’ products and construction materials.
  • Ensure subcontractors provide proper insurance.
  • Inspect the installation of storm pipes, structures, curb and gutter, preparation of the roadbed, utility adjustments, and paving of the road.
  • Inspect work during construction to ensure project is being built to City ordinances, standards and specifications.
  • Verify quantities of materials to ensure payment is accurate.
  • Process pay applications with backup documents such as sales tax invoices, sales tax use forms, and required affidavits.
  • Assist Engineering with easement acquisition and encroachment agreements.

The following photos show various projects that Construction Management has inspected over the years.

Spot Repair Program and Drainage Assistance Program Projects

Construction Management assists with the inspection of the City’s Spot Repair Program and Drainage Assistance Program (DAP) Projects. The Spot Repair Program consists of smaller drainage projects that do not fit into our CIP program. The Drainage Assistance Program is a new program that assists single family property owners with qualified private drainage issues outside of the City's Rights-of-way.  The following photos show two  separate projects as examples. The first example is a Spot Repair on Rankin Avenue. The second is a DAP on Murray Fork Road.
