The City of Lancaster’s first-reading FY 2026-2027 operating budget includes a detailed Capital Improvement Plan (Tab 7) covering HVAC units, vehicles, building repairs, park equipment, sidewalk projects, leaf trucks, and numerous water/sewer and solid waste capital items. For utilities, proposed CIP purchases include a director vehicle replacement, excavator, water meter replacements, water line work, SCADA equipment, disinfection system upgrades, pump replacements, solids removal equipment, a clarifier, sewer cameras, a bypass pump station, and building sealing/painting, along with solid waste HVAC and roof replacements and new garbage trucks, loaders, trailers, and pickups. Council is holding first reading on June 16, 2026, with a public hearing on June 23, 2026, before final adoption for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2026.While the budget establishes funding authority, it does not specify vendors for most CIP items, indicating upcoming procurements across vehicles, heavy equipment, HVAC, water/wastewater systems, SCADA/controls, and solid waste equipment. Vendors in these domains can position themselves for RFPs, quotes, or state contract purchases aligned with this CIP over the 2026-2027 fiscal year.

CIP line "director vehicle replacement" and multiple garbage trucks/loaders suggest larger-ticket equipment procurements once funds are appropriated.
