Stages of a Project
The Engineering Department manages all City infrastructure projects. A single construction project involves several steps, which can occur over a period of several years.

Goal	Construction projects are never undertaken on a whim. All projects start because there is a clear need that requires resolution.
Budget	Before a project can even begin, the City Council must approve a project budget. The budget can span multiple years, as there are many steps that require funding.
Study	Sometimes third-party studies are used to learn more about the scope of the existing issue and propose potential solutions to meet the project goals.
Design	The project is carefully thought out and designed on paper before any physical construction begins.
Relocation	Often, new construction requires the relocation of existing utilities. The City must coordinate with private utility companies to coordinate relocations.
Letting	The City receives bids from different companies for the construction work and awards the project to the lowest bidder.
Construction	The project is physically constructed. For larger projects, this may take multiple construction seasons.
Restoration	Construction often requires digging and/or driving heavy machinery around the project site. The last step in any project is to restore the surrounding landscaping.
