RECOMMENDATION
Accept the Citywide Capital Improvement Program Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2024- 2025.
SUMMARY AND OUTCOME
The Citywide Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Annual Report provides the City Council with a comprehensive review of public works projects and program activity during Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-2025.
BACKGROUND
Since the early 2000s, staff has prepared and provided periodic status updates to City Council through a Citywide CIP Annual Report. The current Citywide CIP Annual Report provides the City Council with a comprehensive review of public works projects and program activity during FY 2024-2025 and focuses on active major and minor public works projects (Attachment - Citywide Capital Improvement Program Status Report 2024-2025).
ANALYSIS
This report is intended to provide a summary of the FY 2024-2025 CIP. Project information is sourced from the Capital Project Management System as of June 30, 2025, and has been coordinated with all project delivery partner departments.

Subject: Citywide Capital Improvement Program Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2024 -2025
In summary, from July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025, the Citywide capital program actively worked on 328 projects totaling approximately $1.85 billion. Of those 328 projects, 236 were “Major Projects” with contract values over $740,000, for a total value of approximately $1.8 billion and 92 were “Minor Projects” with contract values under $740,000, for a total value of approximately $45 million. Due to the following reasons, 17 of 328 CIP projects were canceled: funding availability, high variances from bid results, and conflict with land acquisition and other projects occurring within the same area. The volume of work reflects the various phases that CIP projects go through from start to finish. Of the 328 projects, 73 projects valuing $229.4 million were completed and put into use during FY 2024-2025.
During the reporting period, major public works contracts received an average of four bids with an average bid variance of 5.6% above the Engineer’s Estimate, which is slightly above the industry average of +/-5%. Minor public works contracts also saw an average of four bids with an average bid variance of 0.9% below the Engineer’s Estimate, which is within the industry average of +/-5%.
Wage Theft
The Wage Theft Prevention Policy was approved by City Council in April 2023. All bidders who propose or bid on procurements issued by Public Works and the City’s Finance Department are reviewed under the Wage Theft Prevention Policy beginning July 2023. At the time of writing this report, no bidders on capital improvement project procurements completed by Public Works have been disqualified based on wage theft judgements, paid or unpaid.
Citywide Project Labor Agreement
With a total contract value $164.7 million, 35 projects were subject to the Project Labor Agreement requirements, with more than half of the projects related to sanitary sewer improvements including repairs, condition assessment, and replacements. Other projects include pavement resurfacing and sealing projects, streetscape projects, one emergency housing project, two projects at the Regional Wastewater Facility, one emergency interim housing project and five building projects.
EVALUATION AND FOLLOW-UP
Staff will continue to return to City Council on an annual basis to share the progress of the CIP program.

1 Citywide Capital Improvement Program Status Report
FY 2024-2025
The 2024-2025 Adopted Capital Budget totaled $1.4 billion and is part of the $4.0 billion 5-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The 2024- 2025 Capital Budget included significant investments to sustain, enhance and develop a wide array of public infrastructure to improve reliability, enhance recreational experiences, advance public safety and ensure that San José is well positioned for further economic growth and opportunity. This Citywide CIP Status Report highlights some of the key projects from fiscal year (FY) 2024-2025 (July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025) that have had a positive impact on the community, including:
• Rehabilitating and enhancing parks and recreation facilities • Upgrading and revitalizing the San José-Santa Clara Regional Wastewater Facility (RWF) • Investing in city infrastructure, including upgrades to emergency and disaster response facilities, road reconstruction, flood protection, water quality protection, and other improvements to critical infrastructure through the Measure T bond
In FY 2024-2025 the City implemented and continued these new programs and policies which helped to shape our infrastructure:
Section 1217(b) of the City of San Jose City Charter and Section 27.04.100 of the San José Municipal Code require the threshold used to define a Major Public Works Contract to be adjusted for inflation in the construction industry every July 1. Additionally, Section 27.06.080 of the San José Municipal Code requires an annual inflation adjustment for Micro Contracts and Section 27.10.560E requires the same for the Director’s award authority.
The current Engineering News Records, Construction Cost Index for San Francisco has decreased by 1.1% as of May 2024. Pursuant to Section 27.04.100 of the San José Municipal Code, the following adjustments will be made:
• The Major Public Works Contract threshold for July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025 was adjusted taking the threshold from $750,000 to $740,000. • The Micro Contract threshold for July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025 resulted in no change to the $11,000 threshold.
• The Director’s award authority threshold for July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025 was adjusted taking the threshold from $1,220,000 to $1,210,000.
Section 1.9 of the Amended and Restated Project Labor Agreement (“PLA”) between the City of San Jose and the Santa Clara and San Benito Counties Building and Construction Trades Council, dated June 3, 2022, requires the City to apply the PLA to public work s projects paid for in whole or in part out of City funds with an Engineer’s Estimate of more than $1,050,000.
The Section further provides that the $1,050,000 threshold will be annually adjusted effective every July 1 to be equal to the value of the Director’s award authority as set forth in Section 2 27.10.560E of the San Jose Municipal Code. As such, effective July 1, 2024, the threshold for applying the PLA to public works project was adjusted to $1,210,000.
On August 19, 2025, the Public Works Director brought recommendations 1 to City Council to update several parts of Section 27 of the San José Municipal Code. Two of the recommendations approved increased the Micro Contract Threshold to $75,000 and the Director’s authority to $5,000,000. These thresholds were in effect for projects that procured contractors after the effective date of the Resolution approved by Council.
On September 16, 2025, the Public Works Director brought a recommendation 2 to City Council
to execute the second amendment to the PLA adjusting the PLA threshold to be equal to the value of the Major Public Works Contract threshold.

4 SECTION 1 - PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The City of San José’s CIP includes capital improvement projects, which are major improvements or expansions to City facilities or infrastructure. Typical major CIP projects include new construction, replacement, and/or renovation of:
o Community centers, libraries, parks, trails, fire stations and corporation yards; o Sidewalks, bikeways and roads;
o Water, storm, and sewer lines;
o Public art projects;
o San José-Santa Clara RWF;
o San José McEnery Convention Center facilities; and,
o San José Mineta International Airport facilities.
The CIP also includes services that indirectly lead to the construction of capital improvements, such as feasibility studies and master planning efforts, as well as real estate transactions.
The CIP was approved by the City Council as the 20 24-2025 Adopted Capital Budget and 2025-2029 CIP. Projects were recommended for funding in the proposed CIP in consideration of approved budgets, policy, guidelines, public safety and/or economic development urgency, approved master plans, and external regulatory agencies.
While this report was prepared by the Department of Public Works, multiple departments in the City take lead and partnering roles in CIP delivery, such as the lead role the Environmental Services Department takes at the San José-Santa Clara RWF.
To facilitate program delivery across multiple departments, the City works within six City Service Areas (CSAs):
o Community and Economic Development
o Environmental and Utility Services
o Neighborhood Services
o Public Safety
o Strategic Support
o Transportation and Aviation Services
2024-2025 Adopted Capital Budget 2025-2029 Capital Improvement Program $1.4 billion $4.0 billion
5 SECTION 2 – CIP BY THE NUMBERS
The City tracks CIP projects through the Capital Pr oject Management System (CPMS) database. CPMS is an internal and external tool, allowing City staff to manage CIP projects, and the public to locate information about CIP projects. In addition to listing all projects citywide, CPMS can filter
projects by Council District,
or by CSA at
http://cpms.sanjoseca.gov.
From July 1, 2024, through
June 30, 202 5, the City
actively worked on 328 CIP
projects totaling
approximately $ 1.85 billion
in value. Out of 3 28 CIP
projects 17 projects were
placed on hold due to
various reasons including
funding availability , high
variances from bid results,
and conflict with land
acquisition and other
projects occurring within the same area. The volume of work reflects the various phases that CIP projects undergo from start to finish. These projects involved the work of several divisions within Public Works as well as partner departments Environmental Services; Transportation; Parks, Recreation and Neighborhood Services; and the Airport.
Of the 328 CIP projects
active in FY 20 24-2025,
236 are above $7 40,000
"Major Projects” for a total
value of approximately
$1.8 billion, and 92 are
under $740 ,000 “Minor
Projects” for a total value
of approximately $45
million. The number of
active projects fluctuate s
from year to year ;
however, the number of
Minor Projects decreased
from 119 active project s
last FY to 92 this FY .
However, t he number of
Major Projects increased. Chart A represents the total active CIP projects by CSA. The number of active projects under each CSA is in line with previous fiscal years.
Chart A
Chart B
6 Of the 328 projects, 73 projects (valuing $229.4 million) were put into beneficial use during FY 2024-2025. Of the 73 projects, 49 were Major Projects (valuing $216.5 million) and 24 were Minor Projects (valuing $12.9 million). There was a decrease in the number of project s that reached beneficial use this year compared to the previous fiscal year and a decrease in the number of minor projects . Chart B represents the total CIP projects that reached beneficial use by CSA. Chart C illustrates the total dollar value of the active CIP projects by CSA.
Performance Measures
A set of consistent and comprehensive performance measures along with targets and goals have been established for the CIP. Measures have been established in two key areas:
schedule and project delivery cost. When determining the number of projects within schedule, staff compare actual beneficial use date to the baseline beneficial use date identified at time of award. The performance measures do exclude specific types of projects i.e. Wi-Fi projects since those projects do not fall under a specific benchmarking category . Staff determine performance measures based on 73 projects that reached beneficial use in FY 202 4-2025.
From that, staff identified that 62 of 73 (85%) projects were delivered in 2024-2025 within two months of approved baseline schedules, which is right on target with the 85% mark.
Project baseline schedule and budget reset requests are typically only considered for significant issues such as drastic changes in scope or funding status. Out of the 73 projects that reached beneficial use, the department did approve 9 baseline schedule resets during the FY. Without the approval of the 9 baseline schedule resets, the on-time percentage for the FY would have been 73%. The reasoning for the approval of the resets is mainly due to utility conflicts, significant delays to material deliveries/procurement, and change in scope of work, per client requests.
In FY 2024-2025, 60 projects were formally accepted, and the Notice of Completion and Acceptance was recorded through the County Recorder’s Office. Of the 60 projects, 56 Chart C
7 projects were delivered on -budget with a performance percentage of 93%. This is above the 90% “on-budget” performance target.
Bidding Environment
During FY 2024-2025, 83 construction contracts totaling $199 million were awarded. Of those 83 contracts, 53 were Major Projects (valued $182.9 million). In accordance with the City Charter, the primary means of procuring a Major Project is through formal public bidding in which, following a public notice, the City will award the contract to the lowest responsive bidder that is responsible. Utilizing the formal bidding process, the program received an average of 4 bids per project for M ajor Projects with an average variance of 5.64 % above the engineer’s estimate.
Additionally, the process for awarding Minor Projects (under $740,000) is defined in Title 27 of the San Jose Municipal Code as opposed to in the City Charter. For Minor Projects, the City awarded 30 Minor Projects with a total value of $16.1 million. The program received an average of 4 bids per project with an average variance of 0.87% below the engineer’s estimate.
The goal of the program for both major and minor projects is to keep the average bid variance within the industry average of +/- 5%. As reported, the average variance between projects bids and the Engineer’s Estimates for Minor Projects fell within the industry average. However, the average variance for Major Projects fell just above the industry average.
The average bid variance for sanitary projects was the main reason why the bid variance for major projects fell outside of the industry average. The average bid variance for sanitary project was roughly 30% over the engineer’s estimate. The potential reason for the high bids can be attributed to accessibility for some of the point repair work, and liner installation work for sanitary sewer segments located in easements and at deeper depths which may require extra labor, materials and equipment. Other factors that resulted in higher bid include the competitive nature within the construction industry, higher material and labor prices or a combination of these issues. Staff reached out to other agencies including Los Angeles Sanitation District, Santa Cruz County Sanitation District, and the City and County of San Francisco and f ound that recent bid prices for point repairs and cured- in-place pipe installations at these agencies were as high or higher than the bid prices received.
Charts D and E, below, reflect the 5-year averages for all projects, major and minor. The first chart illustrates that the average number of bids per project has remained consistent over time, generally between 3 and 4 . The second chart shows that, on average, the yearly variance between bids has remained relatively close to the industry average range of +/- 5% throughout the years.

9 SECTION 3 - BUILDING OUR CITY TOGETHER WITH OUR
COMMUNITY
Building our City together with our community is a critical component of the CIP program.
Contracting with local businesses helps promote the hiring of local workers and has a positive impact on the local economy.
The San Jose Municipal Code defines local and small business as follows:
• Local business: a business with a headquarters or a satellite office located in Santa Clara County with at least one (1) full time employee and a valid San Jose Business Tax Certificate
• Small business: a local business that has thirty-five (35) or fewer total employees
The Department of Public Works tracks the number and value of contract awards made to local and small businesses for both M ajor and Minor Projects, using two methods for determining whether a contractor is local and small: 1) for Minor Projects, contractors requesting a local or small business preference are required to submit a Request for Local and Small Business Enterprise Preference form, which is verified by staff before the preference is applied; or 2) for Major Projects, through the address on the bid documents and the number of employees listed in the City’s Business Tax System. It is possible that the data underreports firms with a local presence if they do not request the preference or list a headquarters office on their bid documents instead of a local satellite office.
Major Projects
As mentioned in section two of this report, during FY 2024-2025 the City awarded 53 M ajor Projects at a value of $182.9 million. Ten (10) Major Projects (worth $22.5 million) were awarded to local businesses and six (6) were awarded to small businesses.
Chart F below illustrate s the year over year local and small awards for Major Projects, comparing the last five fiscal years. While both the percentage of contracts and the percentage of dollars awarded to local and small business fluctuates year to year depending on the type of projects undertaken, the FY 2024-2025 numbers are lower than the five- year average for percentage of contracts awarded to local businesses. However, the number of projects awarded to small businesses is slightly higher than the five-year average.
The major projects awarded to local businesses include two sealant projects, four sanitary sewer projects, two electrical projects including a safety lighting project, one park project, and one cooling project. Majority of the sanitary projects were awarded to small businesses.
It is important to note many of the City’s construction contracts are large- scale and suited for larger and well -resourced firms. However, the Department of Public Works will continue to seek opportunities to provide smaller project offerings directly to local and small construction firms using the Minor Project procurement process and by facilitating their ability to serve as subcontractors on projects.
10 Minor Projects
As also mentioned in section two of this report, during FY 2024- 2025 the City awarded 30 Minor Projects at a value of $16.1 million. Twenty-seven (27) of those projects (worth $ 14.7 million) were awarded to local businesses; of those 27, twenty-three (23) projects (worth $13 million) were awarded to small businesses.
Chart G below illustrates the year over year local and small awards for Minor Projects, comparing the last five fiscal years. As with Major Projects, the percentage of contracts and the percentage of dollars awarded to local and small business es fluctuates year to year depending on the type of projects undertaken. However, for minor projects, there is an increase in the award of projects to local and small businesses compared to previous year. The uptrend throughout the five years is a positive sign towards engaging with the local and small business community. The projects awarded to local businesses were tenant improvements, ADA ramp improvement projects, and one undergrounding project.
The FY 202 4-2025 numbers are lower than their five-year averages. A look at the types of Minor Projects awarded during the fiscal year shows that almost 70% of the contracts involved pavement-related projects such as ADA ramps. Historically, the City has seen that there exists a robust pool of local and small businesses that perform this type of work.

11 Public Works is continuously working to improve engagement by local and small businesses and will evaluate the proper outreach programs to help increase the number of local and small businesses bidding on City projects especially major projects.
SECTION 4 - ONGOING POLICY WORK
The Office of Equality Assurance is a division within Public Works consisting of ten staff members and is charged with the responsibility of administering and enforc ing the City’s prevailing, living, minimum wage and opportunity to work ordinances and policies. It is also tasked, at times, with additional City labor policy development . The division has focused on wage theft review in FY 2024-2025 and the City’s Project Labor Agreement. Below is a summary of both those council policy priorities:
Wage Theft
The Wage Theft Prevention Policy was approved by Council in April 2023. All bidders who propose or bid on procurements issued by Public Works and the City’s Finance Department are reviewed under the Wage Theft Prevention Policy beginning July 2023. At time of writing this report , no bidders on capital improvement project procurements completed by Public Works have been disqualified based on wage theft judgments, paid or unpaid.
Citywide Project Labor Agreement

12 improvements including repairs, condition assessment, and replacements. Other projects include pavement resurfacing and sealing projects, streetscape projects, one emergency housing project, two (2) projects at RWF , one emergency interim housing project and five building projects. Those projects received an average of 3.8 bids and had an average variance of 4.35% above the engineer’s estimate which is within the industry average of 5%.
13 SECTION 5 – NOTABLE PROJECTS ON THE HORIZON
This section highlights notable projects over $10 million which were awarded in FY 2024- 2025. This includes two local street resurfacing projects under Measure T (valued at $11.3 million and $14.5 million respectively), the Emergency Interim Shelter Rue Ferrari Expansion (valued at $21.7million), and the Yard Piping Improvements Phase 3 projects at RWF ($19.5 million). Below is a photo of the Emergency Interim Shelter Rue Ferrari Expansion. This project will provide interim housing for up to 144 beds (108 units with restrooms), ancillary buildings (kitchen, laundry, case management), utilities, lighting, parking, and other community amenities.

Filter Rehabilitation Project The RWF’s tertiary filtration process (Filtration Process) is one of the final steps of the wastewater treatment process, and is a necessary component of complying with the RWF’s regulatory permit requirements. The Filtration Process operates at an annual average flowrate of 110 million gallons per day (MGD) and is the largest tertiary filtration facility in the western United States. The tertiary filtration facility consists of sixteen granular media filters and associated ancillary equipment. Most of the equipment was constructed in the 1970s and 1980s and require significant refurbishment.
A comprehensive condition assessment of the Filtration Process was completed in winter 2016. It evaluated the condition, operability, and maintainability of the structural, process mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation systems. The assessment identified several systems that needed critical repair or replacement.
The Project replaced the filter media for all sixteen granular media filters, replaced the existing surface wash system with a new air scour system, replaced valves and actuators serving the granular media filters, repair ed concrete walkways and decks around the granular media filters, and replaced electrical and instrumentation and control equipment for all sixteen granular media filters.
Construction began in November 2020 and was completed in June 2025.

In 2024, the City Manager’s Office added two new Deputy Directors. As all existing private offices were occupied, the new deputies were temporarily accommodated in small interior conference rooms, each approximately half the size of a standard Deputy Director’s office.
To provide suitable office space, the City Manager’s Office requested the conversion of two sections of the open office area into private offices. The project also required adjustments to the surrounding cubicle layout, with an emphasis on reusing existing cubicle components whenever possible to minimize costs. The objective was to deliver new offices and workstations consistent with the existing ones, without upgrades beyond what was necessary.
Salvaged doors from a previous renovation project were incorporated in the project. Additionally, exit routes were reviewed during design, and new exit signage was installed to ensure compliance with current code requirements.
