| CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
2027-2031 Overview
Category: Equipment Repair &
Replacement
Type: Equipment
Useful Life: Varies
Contact: Varies (report to head of AOR)
Department: Administration
Description:
This category is reserved for equipment purchases, repairs, and replacements. Large-scale
equipment at the District is evaluated based on function and recognized NFPA safety standards
to determine replacement schedules. Repairs and replacements are then incorporated accordingly
into the District’s CIP. Unless the District is planning a large equipment purchase, new
equipment is typically only anticipated on an annual basis. Full replacement schedules can be
viewed on pages 158-159.
Justification:
A large part of ensuring successful service delivery is properly equipping District employees.
Maintaining proper equipment, both at the stations and on District vehicles, allows the District to
comply with relevant safety standards and promote operational efficiency. Current anticipated
costs included in this five-year overview are based on historical trend data for gear. Promoting
proper equipment purchasing and repair, especially on a replacement schedule, allows the
District to align with medium priority and low priority strategic goals: Long-term Financial
Sustainability -> rolling 5-year financial plan developed annually (medium), Increase efficiency
through technology (low).

Budget Impact/Other:
Budget impact from equipment purchases can be divided into two categories: 1) new capital item
and 2) replacement capital item. When the District is procuring a new capital item in the
Equipment Fund to assist with service delivery, there is an anticipated increase in expenditures.
This increase is seen on a timeline in alignment with required maintenance. An example of this
would be new EMS equipment. When replacing equipment, the District experiences additional
cost savings. This is because repair and maintenance costs for the item being replaced will
decrease. Cost savings in this category are also in alignment with required maintenance
schedules.
