About the types of projects on this map
There are four project types shown on this map:
Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
CIP projects are public infrastructure improvements intended to enhance service levels, address deficiencies, and support future growth. Examples of typical CIP projects include replacing a water or sewer pipe or reconstructing a street.
CIP projects are typically managed and designed by Albany staff to meet state, city, and federal guidelines.
The CIP document covers a 5-year planning period and is updated every two years in conjunction with the city’s biennial budget. The projects listed in the first two years of the CIP are included in the budget. Current and past CIP documents can be found here.
Post-Construction Stormwater Quality Permits (SQ)
Post-Construction Stormwater Quality (SQ) projects include the construction of stormwater management facilities designed to capture, filter, and/or treat stormwater runoff. These facilities typically include swales, planters, ponds, and other engineered treatment systems that manage runoff from impervious surfaces. Some SQ projects also include detention facilities that temporarily store and restrict stormwater flow from developed sites. A typical SQ project involves new development or redevelopment that increases or replaces impervious surfaces.
SQ projects may be constructed by a private development team (see PIP description) or as part of the City’s Capital Improvement Program (see CIP description). All SQ projects are designed and constructed to ensure compliance with Albany’s engineering standards and the City’s Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit issued by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ).
Public Improvement Project (PIP)
A Public Improvement Project (PIP) includes the construction of public infrastructure for the development of private property for residential, commercial, or industrial use. A typical PIP project is a new subdivision, including streets, water and sewer lines, and stormwater quality facilities.
These projects are managed by a private development team that usually includes a Developer and Consultant Engineer. Albany Public Works staff issues permits for the construction of public infrastructure, reviews plans, and provides construction inspection to ensure compliance with Albany’s standards and specifications.
Formerly called Site Improvement (SI) projects.
Warranty
It is typical to have a 1-2 year warranty period following the construction and acceptance of public improvements. Inspections are completed to identify if there are any repairs that need to be made before the end of the warranty period.
