- Description
- Data Background:This layer displays the general areas of capital projects along with associated project data. It is maintained in accordance with section 10.22.160 of the Tacoma Municipal Code: "The Public Works Department may develop a capital projects layer on its GIS mapping system, entitled "Capital Improvement Projects," where it will identify its capital improvement projects. Once established, all public and private Tacoma Municipal Code (Revised 4/2018) 10-44 City Clerk's Office utilities and operators of any communications or cable system shall identify and update their capital projects on the Capital Improvement Projects map, in accordance with Local Law. The Public Works Department, all utilities, and all communications or cable system operators are responsible for updating their capital improvement projects on no less than a calendar quarterly basis."Public Works project data is updated monthly by project managers.Recommended Symbology:"cipstatus" field valuePolygon FillHex/TransparencyPolygon OutlineHex/Transparency/WidthDrawing OrderYes#0078BD/50%#0078BD/0%/2px SolidTopNoNo Fill/100%#999999/50%/1.5px DashedBottomSome projects do not have mappable work areas because they involve work throughout the city or have otherwise indeterminate work areas. For dataset integrity purposes, these projects are mapped as a polygon encompassing the city limits of Tacoma and given a value of "No" in the field "cipstatus". Selecting individual features is difficult if these features are not hidden, transparent, or drawn first. To improve functionality while viewing mapped features, the above symbology and drawing order is recommended. Depending on your use case, you might also simply choose to filter out features with a "cipstatus" value of "No".Unique Fields: projname Official project title used in documentation websiteurl URL for the project's individual web page (if it has one) project_type Primary type of asset involved project_description Overview of project scope project_rationale Description of justification for the work current_phase Capital projects typically progress through some or all of the following phases in order:Unfunded: Bringing a construction idea to life requires funds. Projects marked as "Unfunded" are in the process of securing funding and approval. They are not considered active yet.Planning: The project has confirmed some or all funding, and a plan needs to be made to get it moving. The Planning phase involves gathering people and resources to map out the project's future.Design: If not already fully funded by this point, the project has at least enough funding to be completely designed. An engineering team decides how the work should be done and what the final result must include.Right-of-Way (ROW): At this stage, the project team secures the project area for construction. They find potential legal issues and solve them with things like securing permits, making negotiations, or notifying property owners/businesses.Ad-Award: Project plans are advertised so potential contractors can bid on performing the work. The City awards the project contract based on cost estimates and guidelines such as equity in contracting.Construction: The project is fully funded. The City's construction team and any contractors collaborate to perform and inspect the work.Closeout: After construction is substantially complete, documentation and finances are squared away.Complete: All processes to perform the work have been completed. The project is no longer active.Work might also be paused during any phase due to unforeseen issues. This marks the project phase as On Hold. phase_notes Brief progress update to elaborate on the current phase construction_start Month and Year in which construction is estimated to start. Projects in early phases may not have this estimate ready. construction_end Month and Year in which construction is estimated to be completed. Projects in early phases may not have this estimate ready. citywide Some projects do not have precise mapped locations and are given the value "citywide". This is most often because the project is actually an ongoing project fund that continuously affects many locations every year (example: Unfit/Unsafe Sidewalk Program) or because the project's goal is to conduct a study to determine future work locations. business_districts City of Tacoma Business Districts containing any of the project area city_council_districts City Council Districts containing any of the project area neighborhood_councils City of Tacoma Neighborhood Councils containing any of the project area total_estimated_cost Estimated combined cost of the project throughout its lifetime in dollars.
