The Portland Water Bureau has published the Fiscal Year (FY) 2014-15 Capital Improvement Plan Annual Report (CIPAR) and Appendix.

Compiled by the Water Bureau's CIP Planning Group, the report strives to: 

1. Increase capital project transparency and accountability.
2. Provide current status details for major (those with a total budget of $500,000 or more) and minor projects recording costs during FY 2014-15.
3. Summarize the bureau’s progress on its capital projects in the past fiscal year.
4. Lay the groundwork for upcoming budget discussions for continuing projects.

In the main report, each of the Water Bureau’s major projects are detailed and includes information on each project’s scope, schedule, budget, expenditures, and forecasts for future expenditures.  There is also a separate Appendix  of all projects, including those that fall below the $500,000 threshold.

Since FY 2010-11 when the Water Bureau inaugurated the CIPAR, CIP Planning employees have worked with the bureau's Administration, Finance and Support Services, and Resource Protection and Planning work groups to draft the document. These partnerships help to ensure efficient and expedited data collection and quality, a user-friendly presentation, and a quick turnaround of reportable information.
