The Phases of Capital Improvements

The Planning Phase
The planning phase typically identifies the projected infrastructure need and funding options,
incorporates funding into the financial plan and develops a multi-year list of projects to be
completed based on projected growth. Captial projects may require voter approval.

The Design Phase
Once the planning process is complete, design begins on the approved Capital
Improvement Projects. The design phase may and often does occur over multiple years.

The Construction Phase
Once the planning and design phases are complete, the construction phase begins. The
construction phase may include land acquisition, utility relocation, and the bid process for
each project. On some projects, construction may take multiple years. The citizens of
Mansfield are notified of any traffic impact or service disruption.

The Completion Phase
The completion phase includes final inspection of the project and opening of streets,
utilities, facilities, or parks.
