The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) allows the County to identify the needs of the community and to prepare a long term funding strategy to meet those needs. The CIP includes any project that involves needed repairs or improvements to our existing infrastructure and the acquisition or construction of new infrastructure.

• Planning for, operating, constructing, and maintaining a safe and effective road and street system for the orderly, safe, and convenient movement of people and goods including Traffic Engineering
• Identifying and capturing state, federal, and private revenues available for master planning and for the development, design, and construction of public works Capital Improvement Projects. Routine maintenance of Tuolumne County's maintained roads is done by Road Operations.

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT DISCONTINUANCE OF DBE CERTIFICATES

Please note that effective August 1, 2013, the California UCP (including Caltrans) is no longer issuing DBE Certificates as evidence of certification. A copy of a printout from the database should be sufficient proof of a firm's certification. Prime contractors and awarding agencies should not impose on DBE firms the burden of providing a DBE certificate in their bid packages - it is not required.
