Budget PlanningCapital ProjectsDetected Jun 8, 2026

The Council-as-a-Whole will review and approve Mayor Dorinda Borer’s recommended five-year capital plan associated with the FY27 budget. This plan will lay out prioritized capital projects, likely including facilities, infrastructure, equipment, and other long-lived assets that the city intends to fund and implement over the next five fiscal years. For vendors in engineering, architecture, construction, infrastructure technology, and capital planning consulting, this is a key pre-RFP signal that a pipeline of projects is being formalized. Once the plan is approved, individual projects will move into design, environmental review, and procurement, creating multiple opportunities for professional services and construction contracts as the city executes the capital program.

Details of specific projects in the capital plan are not listed in the agenda, but the approval step...
