Engineering - Capital Improvement Projects

The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) allows the County to identify the needs of the community and to prepare a long term funding strategy to meet those needs. The CIP includes any project that involves needed repairs or improvements to our existing infrastructure and the acquisition or construction of new infrastructure.

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT DISCONTINUANCE OF DBE CERTIFICATES


Please note that effective August 1, 2013, the California UCP (including Caltrans) is no longer issuing DBE Certificates as evidence of certification. A copy of a printout from the database should be sufficient proof of a firm's certification. Prime contractors and awarding agencies should not impose on DBE firms the burden of providing a DBE certificate in their bid packages - it is not required.
