Engineering - Capital Improvement Projects

The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) allows the County to identify the community's needs and 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. 

WHAT WE DO

Tuolumne County's Engineering - Capital Improvement Projects Division is responsible for:

  • Planning for, operating, constructing, and maintaining a safe and effective road and street system for the orderly, safe, and convenient movement of people and goods, including Traffic Engineering.

 IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THE 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 the burden of providing a DBE certificate in their bid packages on DBE firms - it is not required.
