Capital Improvement Program (CIP)

The City of San José’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes capital improvements that are new construction, replacement, and/or renovation of City facilities or infrastructure.

The CIP also includes services that indirectly lead to the construction of capital improvements, such as feasibility studies, master planning, and real estate transactions.

The CIP is approved by City Council and published in the Adopted Capital Budget and Capital Improvement Program budget documents.  Projects are recommended based on approved budgets, policies, guidelines, public safety and/or economic development urgency, approved master plans, and external regulatory agencies.

Multiple City departments take lead and partnering roles in the CIP delivery.  The program delivery is organized in the following six City Service Areas (CSAs) to deliver the program:

  • Community and Economic Development
  • Environmental and Utility Services
  • Neighborhood Services
  • Public Safety
  • Strategic Support
  • Transportation and Aviation Services
