Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)
Definition
What is the Capital Improvements Plan or Program (CIP)?
The CIP is a plan that assesses capital facility needs in a
jurisdiction against its overall goals and objectives, using a
multi-year planning horizon—usually five years. The capital
plan contains projects budgeted in the current Fiscal Year as
well as projects in subsequent years for which funding may
not have been obtained or authorized. Since the CIP is not a
legally binding document, it can and does change in the
“out” years. The CIP is often spoken of as a rolling document
since older projects drop off and new ones are added each
year. (Robinson 1991)

Capital Improvement Plan in Portland
In Portland our City Council approves two things related to the CIP
based on recommendations from the City Manager and Finance
• CIP bond authorization order (List of all CIP projects financed by new
municipal borrowing)
• CIP appropriation order (Complete list of year one CIP projects noting all
types of funding sources)

Types of Assets in a Capital
Improvement Plan
Capital projects typically fall into to one of the following categories:
• Water / Sewer / Stormwater
• Streets, Streetscapes and Transportation
• Community Facilities
• Equipment and Vehicles
• Energy and Telecommunications
• Housing for Low and Moderate Income Families

Capital Improvement Plan: Portland
Falling Behind & Catching Up
• In the late 2000’s and early 2010’s, the City due to financial constraints the City
had extremely limited approved Capital Improvement Plan funding.
• Capital assets were falling significantly behind in terms of replacement dates.
Operating budget repairs & maintenance expense was rising and the amount of
overall deferred maintenance continued to grow at a higher than usual rate.
• In several recent Recommended Capital Improvement Plans, the City Manager
recognized the need to catch up in many categories of capital assets City wide
and recommended $5M of catch up funding in addition to the regular CIP.
• This strategy, combined with casting a wide net on available funding sources, has
allowed us to make recent progress which needs to be continued.
11
Page 13
Capital Improvement Plan: Recent
Progress Example - Fleet Vehicles
• Public Works has always maintained an excellent CIP replacement schedule
for Fleet Vehicles with purchase dates and scheduled replacement dates.
• Unfortunately, due to fiscal constraints during 2010-2014, in a 630+ vehicle
fleet, only approximately 3% per year was upgraded / replaced.
• This triggered a significant backlog of significantly past due fleet vehicles,
deferred maintenance, breakdowns, increased vehicle repair and rental costs
in the operating budget, and triggered reduction of service levels in some
instances when vehicles went out of service unexpectedly.
• From 2015 - 2021 nearly 50% of the fleet was replaced, in excess of 275
vehicles have been replaced, with a significant portion of those purchases
being of more energy efficient vehicles. 12
Page 14
Capital Improvement Plan: Recent
Progress Example - School Department
• From FY10 - FY16 average annual CIP spending on School projects was just
over $1M per year, averaging less than 3 approved projects per CIP year.
• From FY17 - FY25, annual CIP spending on School projects has averaged
approximately $3M per year, with an average of 9+ approved projects per year,
(and these figures exclude buses and the nearly $30M spent on the Fred P.
Hall* School Replacement from 2017/2018 and the four elementary school
renovation projects from Buildings For Our Future)
*Now renamed the Amanda C. Rowe Elementary School 13

Capital Improvement Plan: Sources of
Financing Capital Expenditures
• Municipal Borrowing (new bonds / general obligation debt)
• Use of Fund Balance / Cash Reserves
• Use of Current Revenues (aka Operating Revenues or Operating Budget Funds)
• Grants / Other State / Federal Funding Sources (Intergovernmental Transfers)
• Private Donations, Trust Funds
• TIF Proceeds and Impact Fees
• Use of Private Capital (non-guaranteed debt) and Public Private Partnerships

Capital Improvement Plan - Financing
with Bonds (Municipal Borrowing)
Portland City Council has authorized over $600M of general obligation
bonds in the last 10 years alone to fund City, School and Sewer/Stormwater
capital projects.
Outstanding debt has decreased slightly over the last 5 years as the City has
repaid significant principal on the City’s pension obligation bonds.

Page 21
Capital Improvement Plan - Financing
with Bonds (Municipal Borrowing)
• Debt service expense created by City Council municipal borrowing is typically repaid
over 10 or 20 years and has a lower initial impact to the property tax levy and
sewer/stormwater rates than if projects were paid in cash. The impact in total is larger
over the full 10 or 20 year period of debt service repayment due to interest cost but
better synchronizes the costs and benefits of infrastructure over time.
• “Borrowing allows a municipality to enjoy the immediate benefit from the capital
improvement, which is not always possible when relying on current revenues. Current
revenues (taxes and user fees) are usually not sufficient to fund large expenditures on
a “pay-as-you-go basis” (PAYGO).....Borrowing allows municipalities to avoid large
year-to-year fluctuations in tax rates.” -UN Habitat (Guide to Municipal Finance)

CIP Financing in Portland / CIP Borrowing
Size and Impact on Property Tax Rates
• Each year the City retires older debt related to past CIP borrowings (debt
that was issued 10 or 20 years ago), and therefore can issue new debt in its
place without increasing overall debt service costs to the City related to CIP.
• We typically set the annual CIP target size to ensure no increase to property
tax rates related to CIP debt service (examples on next slide).
22
Page 24
23
Page 25
Capital Improvement Plan:
Financing Example
Assume the CIP target size is set at $10M to protect property tax rate (i.e. City budget can take
on $800k in debt service without increasing property tax rate based on debt being retired).
Let’s further assume as part of the $10M CIP plan the City is recommending purchasing a new
fire engine at an estimated $1M cost taking up 10% of CIP target size.
The City is required to pay in full for most vehicles on delivery, but can manage the ongoing
cost by issuing bonds in the total amount of the CIP. The City would pay the 3rd party vendor
$1M using our bond proceeds, and the only ongoing operating budget costs would be the $90k
in annual debt service for the next 20 years.
$90k of expense on $1M of new debt is approximately $0.01 on the mill rate (tax rate) for 20
years which is a lower mill rate impact than $1M of cash / operating budget expense would be
equivalent to a one time mill rate increase of approximately $0.12. 24
Page 26
Capital Improvement Plan - Financing
• In recent years the City has also more aggressively pursued alternative
funding sources to increase the impact of our annual CIP while maintaining
the same responsible impacts to the property tax rate and utility rates.
• These alternative funding sources have included tens of millions of dollars in
matching funds from the State of Maine and Federal Government, use of
prior year surplus fund balance / cash reserves, use of savings from prior
year CIP projects completed under budget, private donations from
individuals and corporations, TIF revenues, grants, CDBG funding, impact
fees, asset forfeiture funds, and special revenues including Merrill ticket
surcharges and cruise ship passenger surcharges.
• Projects which include significant 3rd party funding / matching funds
typically are more likely to be funded in the CIP.
Page 27

Capital Improvement Plan: Sources of
Financing Capital Expenditures
• Municipal Borrowing (new bonds / general obligation debt)
• Use of Surplus Fund Balance
• Use of Current Revenues (aka Operating Revenues or Operating Budget Funds)
• Grants / Other State / Federal Funding Sources (Intergovernmental Transfers)
• Private Donations, Trust Funds
• TIF Proceeds and Impact Fees
• Public Private Partnerships
26
Page 28
Capital Improvement Plan - Financing
With Fund Balance / Cash Reserves
• The City council frequently appropriates surplus fund balance to support the
CIP and provide tax stabilization / mill rate relief via using reserves to create
expenditure reductions. The use of fund balance rather than issuing debt to
fund CIP reduces debt service expenditures in future budgets.
• The tax stabilization from use of fund balance to finance capital items in lieu of
general obligation bonds is spread over 10-20 years rather than just a single
year and the amount of the savings ends up being larger over time due to the
elimination of interest payments.
• 6/30/25 audit expected to be completed by 2/28/26 - no significant surplus
expected to be available for use in FY27 capital improvement plan.
27
Page 29
Capital Improvement Plan - Use of
Operating Funds (Current Revenues)
• The City of Portland only uses operating budget funds (current revenues) for
Capital Planning for smaller CIP projects (office renovations, smaller
computers/technology purchases, occasional vehicles or large equipment).
• We consider using operating funds for larger capital purchases if the operating
revenue is one-time in nature (i.e. a large payment not expected to repeat
itself over time).
• Due to status of FY26 Health Insurance budget, no funding is likely to be
available in the current operating budget for FY27 CIP requests.
28
Page 30
Capital Improvement Plan - Intergovernmental
Transfers (Grants / Federal / State)
• Large Federal grants are rare (applications are typically very competitive).
Example: The RAISE grant program from Department of Transportation.
• Other smaller Federal or private grants for specific categories of asset (Airport
Improvement Grants from the FAA, Homeland Security Grants etc)
• State funding for large transportation projects (mostly State maintained roads
within a municipality) are also available annually require a City match
(10-50%). These are usually pass through funds from the Federal government.
• Other smaller categories of State grants are available occasionally for specific
types of assets (most recently for energy efficient vehicles / infrastructure).
29
Page 31
Capital Improvement Plan - Private Donations
/ Trust Funds
• Rare to receive significant volume of private donations to augment our CIP
process. Typically 1-2 projects per year have companion private donations.
• Recent examples include:
• Kiwanis Pool Replacement Project (over $1M raised!)
• A urban park on Congress Street (Congress Square Park) - many small donations & some
medium sized corporate donations
• A library on one the City Islands (Peaks Island Library) - one large family donation
• A City owned skate park - many small donations solicited via a text to donate campaign
• City also receives donations via trusts (typically received upon death of a
resident for use in cemeteries and our City owned nursing facility)
30
Page 32
Capital Improvement Plan - Impact Fee Funds
• City has three “area TIF districts” where certain types of capital infrastructure
improvements are considered to be eligible uses of TIF funds.
Tax Increment Financing (TIF) is a value capture revenue tool that uses taxes on future gains in real estate values to pay for new infrastructure improvements
• City also utilizes an impact fee program launched in 2018 which has collected
over $5M to date. Impact fees may be used on specific related projects only
(typically growth related) and are generally pooled to support larger projects.
Impact fees are charges paid by a proposed development to fund the cost of providing municipal facilities to serve that development. This idea is premised on
the concept that when development occurs, it can bring many benefits, but it also affects the existing infrastructure around it by adding more cars, bikes, and
pedestrians to the streets, increasing sewer flows into City systems, and infusing additional visitors into the City's parks and open spaces. In order to
accommodate this growth in demand, these facilities require additional capital investment.
31
Page 33
Capital Improvement Plan - Impact Fee Funds
• Impact Fees (Transportation) can be used on growth related multimodal
projects. The 2018 Impact Fee study called out many specific projects, and
several have already been completed.

Capital Improvement Plan - Impact Fee Funds
• Impact Fees (Wastewater) can also be used on growth related wastewater. The
2018 Impact Fee study called out many specific projects, and several have
already been completed.
• Impact Fees (Parks) are intended to be used on capital investments that allow
us to maintain our level of service as population and jobs grow.

ClassificationFacilities Strategic Priority Asset/Infrastructure Preservation
Project Description
Replacement of the Original Barron Center Elevator-Elevator Operating System
Project Justification
The Barron Center Otis Elevator is over 45 years old. Repairs and upgrades were completed over the useful life of the
original elevator installation. The most recent elevator improvement was completed in 2021 at a cost of $90,240. Due to
technical upgrades over the years, the ability to continue elevator upgrades and improvements has ended (see the “VDA”
Report). A replacement elevator will be necessary in the near future. Estimated replacement costs are in a range of
between $470,000 to $545,000. An operating elevator in the Barron Center is required for health, safety, and legal
compliance. The elevator is a primary department priority. Over time, recoupment for the capital expenditure would be
generated through MaineCare revenues (as a depreciation expense). The Barron Center provides essential services for
those most in financial need across the Portland Community for the City of Portland’s most vulnerable populations.

Barron Center Elevator 1
Criteria Justification
Rank %
a. Legal Compliance and Risk to Health, Safety and Environment
An operating elevator in the Barron Center is required for health, safety, and legal/regulatory compliance for skilled
nursing facilities in Maine. A large portion of the Barron Center patients and their guests have mobility restrictions and
are dependent upon an elevator to move about the 3rd floor skilled nursing facility for engagement of events, physical
therapy, medical appointments, and emergencies. The elevators are essential to the Barron Center operational needs
including maintenance, cleaning, and food services. The Barron Center has two elevators that are 45 years old which is
well passed the depreciable life of an elevator.
b. Asset Condition and Level of Service
The Maintenance Deficiency Study completed by Robert Campbell, Associate of VDA Vertical Transportation Consulting
on March 11, 2025 states that a comprehensive modernization of the Barron Center elevators is necessary. Operating
Performance Sections show that the 45 (installed by Stanley Elevator in 1980) year old elevators are Unsatisfactory
(score of 2) out of a rating system of 1-5. The elevators are in poor condition. The elevators are not always dependable
for Services even though health and safety regulations require that the elevators be 100% safe and operational.
The attached report with recommendations are included for review. The immediate solution is to correct the
maintenance deficiencies within the next 12 months. The short term recommendations are to have VDA Develop and
issue modernization specifications and provide project support (Request Proposal) and execute an RFP for the
modernization of the elevators. It appears that on page 6, VDA states that it (VDA) is available to assist the Barron
Center on planning for elevator modernization. Page 7 provides capital planning considerations with an estimated cost
of up to $545,000. Using an abundance of caution, budgeting for over $650,000 and recognizing the need for RFP
assistance and additional engineering review, the additional amount requested in addition to the approved $255,000
amount in 2026 is requested. The current recommended amount of $255,000 that was approved is not sufficient
funding to complete the entire project.
The elevator had upgrades in FY 1996 (controllers to 17.3 ASME) requirement; FY 2002 (controller modified to meet
A17.1.A ASME); 2013 (cylinder added to meet ASME A17.1.A) and FY 2021 (Elevator Jack Replacement $ 90,240.00).
"Future elevator upgrades may include controllers, the elevator car and necessary elevator car wrap around
components”.
Every 3 weeks, the elevator needs mechanical attention and may not operate for a day. When the elevator does not
operate, for a day or a long period of time, daily care and operations are affected for patient care, laundry services,
housekeeping (trash, etc). Safety is essential and can not be compromised. When the elevator is not operating, it has a
direct impact on patient safety, and daily Barron Center operations.
Elevator replacement would be more desirable than continued replacement of outdated and obsolescent elevator parts
and unnecessary labor and consulting expenses. Also as noted in the VDA report, replacement parts in the future will at
some point become completely unavailable for a 45 year old elevator.
c. Equitable Community Investment
While the Barron Center is not a poverty census tract, the city does provide services that are in the spirit of equitable
community investment and is a city wide investment. The Barron Center is unique in that it predominantly serves a low
income aging population with high medical needs that would likely be challenged to find services elsewhere in the State.
Of the Barron Center aging population, 90% of the facility population is older than 65 years, with 71% over 75. The
patient population has a 73% psychiatric diagnosis, higher than the State average of 63% for similar skilled nursing.
Facilities. Many of the patients have a dementia diagnosis. Approximately 87% of the patient population have
MaineCare medical and long term financial assistance which places the population in the lowest income population
group in the State. The Barron Center continues to provide skilled nursing services despite overwhelming industry
challenges that have made the Barron Center even more critical than in past years. From 2012-2023, Maine lost 833
nursing facility beds through closure of more than 37 nursing facilities and/or units. There are only 4 other facilities in
the State that provide as high a proportion of services to MaineCare patients, but at a much smaller scale. Without the
Barron Center, Portland’s vulnerable aging population would have few if any alternatives for nursing care.
d. Sustainability and Climate Action
The investment in the infrastructure supports the One Climate Future, BE 1.3 Action to pursue deep energy retrofits and
electrification of large existing city buildings. The proposed infrastructure will be significantly more energy efficient than
the current dated technology, falling in line with One Climate Future’s goal for strategic energy management of large
Page 39
Project Title ID 278771 Dept Ranking
Barron Center Elevator 1
buildings, with a focus that continues improvement and retro-fit projects.
A new energy efficient elevator would add to the Barron Center goal of energy efficiency.
e. Local Funding Optimization
Payment recoupment over time through the MaineCare program based on the depreciable life of the asset. As noted,
the elevator jack replacement was completed in 2021 at a cost of $90,240.00. Elevator replacement would be more
desirable than continued replacement of outdated and obsolescent elevator parts and unnecessary labor and consulting
expenses. Also as noted in the VDA report, replacement parts in the future will at some point become completely
unavailable.
f. Project Readiness
Based on engineering and vendor support (VDA consultants), Barron Center has estimates for elevator replacement
costs. Estimated technical support for an RFP with guidance by VDA was approximately $24,200.00. As follows:
The fee for Phases 2-5 will be the lump sum of $24,200.00, broken down as follows:
1. The Phase 2 – Document Preparation fee will be the lump sum of $7,300.00, payable as
follows: 50% upon authorization of this proposal and 50% payment upon issuance of the
draft specification document.
2. The Phase 3 – Bidding fee will be the lump sum of $3,000.00, in installments as follows:
50% due upon completion of pre-bid walkthrough, 50% due upon review of final bids
and recommendations.
3. The Phase 4 – Shop Drawing Review fee will be the lump sum of $3,900.00, payable upon
review of shop drawings.
4. The Phase 5 – Construction Services fee will be the lump sum of $10,000.00, payable in

Project Description
Paving Barron Center Parking Lots
Project Justification
Current conditions of the surface & markings warrant action. There are many pot holes, cracks, and broken asphalt in the
parking lots. The current paving is cracked and or loose, creating a safety hazard. In addition, the markings/stripes have
also disappeared. Paving work has been done intermittently over the years. The most recent work was completion of the
City Hospital Drive in 2024 which was the final overlay (please see the additional submitted chart (Table) as attachment).
Base work in the Barron Center parking lots were most recently completed in 2021 but did not include the final top coat.
In order to minimize additional deterioration of the pavement, a final top paving coat still is necessary.
Resurfacing and paving of the Barron Center lots are needed. Due to the deterioration over time of the parking lots (front
and rear areas). Prior requests for resurfacing and paving for the parking lots were made, but not approved (phase 3).
Phase 2 which included the City Hospital drive was finally completed in 2024. Phase 3 included the remaining lots (see
attachment (Table)).
Information by Public Works from Lauren Anderson, P.E., Senior Engineer, Department of Public Works, City of Portland is
included. A description of prior work completed (and necessary future paving work to be done) at the Barron Center is as
follows from Lauren Anderson (engineer, Public Works) dated 11/14/2023:
"At this point, we did base paving on a portion of the Barron Center parking lot (see map). We removed the existing
pavement, existing gravels were removed and replaced with up to 3" of new gravel, and 2" of base pavement (12.5mm)
was placed. We did not do a final overlay because the water district had work to complete and we did not want to have a
trench in the new pavement.
The area still needs a 1.5" overlay. This work is not currently contracted through any of my projects. The original work was
done as a change order on our CIP Paving project and was completed in October 2021.
The total amount of the work was $287,305.47; this was paid through accounts provided by the Barron Center (C21101,
C22101, and 10744407404025). We only contracted the amount that was needed so as far as I know there is no more
budget for this project through these accounts. My change order has been paid and the retention will be released soon. “

Resurfacing and Paving of Barron Center Parking Lots 2
Criteria Justification
Rank %
a. Legal Compliance and Risk to Health, Safety and Environment
An operating parking area at the Barron Center is required for health, safety, and legal/regulatory compliance for skilled
nursing facilities in Maine. The parking areas are essential to the Barron Center operational needs for staff safety.
Completion of the paving project is very important.
b. Asset Condition and Level of Service
If the paving project is not completed, the parking lot areas will continue to deteriorate and create additional expenses
for repairs.
c. Equitable Community Investment
While the Barron Center is not a poverty census tract, the city does provide services that are in the spirit of equitable
community investment and is a city wide investment. The Barron Center is unique in that it predominantly serves a low
income aging population with high medical needs that would likely be challenged to find services elsewhere in the State.
Of the Barron Center aging population, 90% of the facility population is older than 65 years, with 71% over 75. The
patient population has a 73% psychiatric diagnosis, higher than the State average of 63% for similar skilled nursing.
Facilities. Many of the patients have a dementia diagnosis. Approximately 87% of the patient population have
MaineCare medical and long term financial assistance which places the population in the lowest income population
group in the State. The Barron Center continues to provide skilled nursing services despite overwhelming industry
challenges that have made the Barron Center even more critical than in past years. From 2012-2023, Maine lost 833
nursing facility beds through closure of more than 37 nursing facilities and/or units. There are only 4 other facilities in
the State that provide as high a proportion of services to MaineCare patients, but at a much smaller scale. Without the
Barron Center, Portland’s vulnerable aging population would have few if any alternatives for nursing care.
d. Sustainability and Climate Action
The investment in the infrastructure supports the One Climate Future, BE 1.3 Action to pursue deep energy retrofits and
electrification of large existing city buildings. The proposed infrastructure supports and compliments energy efficiency
falling in line with One Climate Future’s goal for strategic energy management of large buildings (such as the Barron
Center), with a focus that continues improvement and retro-fit projects.
e. Local Funding Optimization
Payment recoupment over time through the MaineCare program based on the depreciable life of the asset. The total
paving expense that would be necessary based on current Square footage estimates equals $442,050.32. If the Holm
avenue parking lot is completed, the estimated cost for the single parking lot equals $123,538.34. The total estimated
amount for all necessary paving equals $565,588.66.
f. Project Readiness
Based on engineering and vendor support, Barron Center would be ready to start the paving project.

Project Description
Replacement of the Rear Patio – Barron Center
The rear patio of the Barron Center has cracks and uneven surfaces. The rear area slopes down and away from the Barron
Center building.
Project Justification
The rear patio area may need additional buttressing and support. The bricks and concrete have deteriorated over time
from continuous weathering. An evaluation of the rear area should first be made as to the safety of the current patio
which has severely deteriorated. The project needs include an engineering assessment and possible replacement of the
back area of the Barron Center. The current rear area was highly utilized by residents, guests, and visitors at the Barron
Center. The rear area surface is now uneven. Due to the uneven surface area at the rear of the Barron Center building, the
current surface creates and may pose a safety hazard especially for those individuals who have difficulty walking (creating
a fall risk) as well as those unable to walk and using wheelchairs. The rear area is now dangerous and can no longer be
safely used. The rear area is a safety concern as it is necessary for an emergency route of egress to the visitor parking lot.

Fireboat Replacement - Marine 2 1
Fire Department
Division Field Operations
ClassificationVehicles Strategic Priority Asset/Infrastructure Preservation
Project Description
The City of Portland Fire Department is seeking to replace its aging marine fire and rescue vessel, the "Joseph Cavallaro"
(MARINE 2). This 1993 Duffy 42-foot vessel, now 32 years old, is rapidly approaching the end of its serviceable life and is
no longer capable of meeting the dynamic and increasing demands of maritime operations within Casco Bay.
Project Justification
The operational environment of Casco Bay has undergone a significant transformation since the vessel's commissioning.
There has been a substantial and sustained increase in year-round island residency, coupled with a dramatic rise in
pleasure craft, commercial fishing and passenger traffic, and the expansion of marinas and waterfront infrastructure. This
growth in maritime activity places considerable strain on the department’s ability to provide reliable and timely
emergency services.
The current vessel’s limitations—specifically its compromised speed, reduced maneuverability due to age, and high annual
maintenance costs—are now critical impediments to effective emergency response. These shortcomings directly impact
the department’s response times to the islands and remote areas, increasing the risk to life and property. Replacement of
Marine 2 with a modern, purpose-built marine firefighting and search and rescue vessel is essential to restore and
enhance the department's operational readiness.

Maintenance costs for Marine 2 have been substantial in recent years, totaling $55,000 over the last three fiscal years.
Specifically:
FY 2024: $22,095 was spent on preventative maintenance and wheelhouse floor repair, with an additional $6,593 for the
removal and replacement of a dripless shaft seal, cutlass, and center bearing, for a total of $28,688.
FY 2025: Annual preventative maintenance cost $8,957.
FY 2026 (Estimated): Annual preventative maintenance and repairs are projected to cost $17,354.
A new vessel, in contrast, is estimated to have a significantly lower annual maintenance cost of only $5,000.
If approved for a new boat, we would sell the current Marine 2. The estimated revenue from this sale is $50,000.

a. Legal Compliance and Risk to Health, Safety and Environment
The Portland Fire Department's current capabilities are insufficient for a quick, safe, and efficient response to the
growing number of emergencies on Casco Bay and its islands. This inadequacy forces emergency personnel to operate
existing equipment in unsuitable conditions, which:
- Increases the risk of equipment damage or loss during high-risk emergencies where current capabilities are inadequate
- Adds significant, unnecessary strain on current resources, leading to higher annual maintenance costs.
- Ultimately jeopardizes the ability to quickly and safely assist victims, potentially resulting in the loss of life.
The PFD requires enhanced capabilities to meet the demands of these critical maritime emergencies.
b. Asset Condition and Level of Service
1993 42’ Duffy Fiberglass fireboat.
Condition: Fair
Age: 32 years old
The NFPA 1910 standard, which incorporates guidelines for marine firefighting vessels, recommends the following:
15 years: The vessel should be inspected, evaluated for refurbishment, and considered for relegation to reserve status.
25 years: The apparatus should be removed from service completely.
These are considered industry best practices.
Annual maintenance costs are increasing year after year. 2015 costs were approximately $15,000. 2024 Annual
Maintenance costs were $28,688 and are anticipated to increase as the vessel ages and problems become more costly.
c. Equitable Community Investment
A new fireboat project supports equity by ensuring all communities have a comparable level of emergency response,
which is a key component of public safety. By focusing the investment on a capability that closes a critical emergency
response gap for remote and economically-sensitive waterfront areas, the new fireboat advances equity through
improved public safety, environmental protection, and economic stability for the region's most vulnerable populations
and places.
Protecting Coastal and Island Residents: The Casco Bay islands are home to year-round residents, some of whom may be
elderly, low-income, or have disabilities, and rely heavily on water-based services. Improved, faster emergency response
is crucial for these individuals, for whom a quick, effective response is literally life-saving, as traditional land-based
emergency services are significantly delayed or unavailable.
Supporting the Maritime Workforce: The fireboat protects commercial assets essential to the livelihoods of many on the
working waterfront, including the fishing and maritime industries. Protecting docks, boats, and businesses from fire or
environmental hazards ensures their continued economic stability and employment.
Reducing Environmental Hazards: Accidents like oil spills or chemical leaks disproportionately impact the health of
underserved populations, who often live near industrial areas or are more reliant on the natural resources of the Bay for
sustenance and income. A modern fireboat with advanced Hazmat response capabilities ensures a faster containment
and cleanup, mitigating environmental health risks for these vulnerable groups.
The project provides a city-wide benefit, but its impact is most significant for the geographically and systematically
underserved communities of the islands and the working waterfront.
Island Communities: The islands of Casco Bay (Peaks, Great Diamond, Little Diamond, Cushing) are geographically
isolated and rely entirely on water transport. Their fire and EMS infrastructure is limited. The new fireboat acts as a
force multiplier, ensuring these geographically underserved communities have a higher standard of emergency coverage
that is more on par with mainland Portland.
Working Waterfront Preservation: The working waterfront itself, often characterized by older infrastructure and a mix of
commercial and low-income housing, is a critical, high-risk geography. Protecting this area preserves affordable access
to the water for the commercial fishing industry and other maritime businesses, preventing the destruction of
infrastructure that, if lost, might be replaced by high-end development that displaces lower-income residents and
businesses.
d. Sustainability and Climate Action
The proposed project to replace Marine 2 directly aligns with and significantly advances several recommendations
Page 52
Project Title ID 278773 Dept Ranking
Fireboat Replacement - Marine 2 1
within the City of Portland's Climate Action Plan, focusing primarily on Adaptation.
Adaptation: Enhancing Public Infrastructure Resilience and Emergency Response
The core of this vessel replacement is an essential Adaptation strategy to prepare the City's public infrastructure and
emergency services for the increasing challenges posed by a changing climate. The Gulf of Maine Research Institute
Climate projections indicate more frequent and intense storms in Casco Bay. The 32-year-old Duffy 42' vessel, with its
outdated design, speed limitations, and reduced maneuverability, is increasingly ill-equipped to safely and effectively
respond to maritime emergencies during severe weather events. A new, modern vessel will be designed to handle these
extreme conditions, ensuring the continuity of essential public safety services for both island residents and the broader
maritime community.
Sea Level Rise and Changing Coastal Dynamics: While less direct, a newer, more capable vessel allows for greater
flexibility in emergency operations as coastal infrastructure and access points potentially change due to sea level rise.
Furthermore, enhanced capabilities, such as access to shallow and remote areas, become critical when severe weather
or flooding may temporarily restrict traditional docking or access routes.
Ensuring Staff Performance Amidst Climate Change: The rising annual maintenance costs and the vessel's age constantly
risk putting it out of service, which hinders City staff's ability to perform their duties effectively. A reliable, modern
replacement ensures that marine patrol, fire suppression, and search and rescue personnel can consistently operate in
the face of changing climate conditions, which often manifest as more volatile and unpredictable maritime
environments. The investment in a modern vessel is an investment in the long-term operational resilience of a vital
public safety department.
e. Local Funding Optimization
Non-municipal funding is not expected to be secured.
The impact to operating expenses is expected to decrease by approximately $11,000 per year due to less annual
preventative maintenance costs and repairs.

Zoll Cardiac Monitors 1
Criteria Justification
Rank %
a. Legal Compliance and Risk to Health, Safety and Environment
High failure rates in aging equipment risk delayed diagnosis and missed interventions (defibrillation, pacing) during
critical events, directly increasing patient morbidity and mortality. Additionally, monitor failure or lack of modern
features (e.g., advanced capnography, reliable 12-lead transmission) risks medical malpractice liability for negative
patient outcomes.
b. Asset Condition and Level of Service
Eleven of our current cardiac monitors are over five years old, with two units exceeding six years of service. Zoll
recommends replacement or major overhaul between the five- and seven-year mark due to natural component
degradation and technological advancements. The most critical concern is the reliability of the monitors during high-
stakes patient encounters; a failure could lead to missed diagnoses, delays in essential interventions
(defibrillation/pacing), and severely compromise patient outcomes.
c. Equitable Community Investment
Replacing the Zoll cardiac monitors supports equitable community investment by ensuring that all citizens of Portland,
regardless of their location, socioeconomic status, or ability to pay, receive the highest and most consistent standard of
emergency medical care available. By replacing all aging and potentially unreliable units with new equipment, the PFD
guarantees that every ambulance dispatched—whether to a wealthy neighborhood or an underserved area—is
equipped with fully functional technology featuring the latest diagnostic capabilities. This standardization eliminates the
risk of a patient's outcome being negatively affected because their responding unit was equipped with an older, less
reliable monitor prone to failure or lacking modern, essential features.
d. Sustainability and Climate Action
While the primary justification for replacing the Zoll Cardiac monitors is centered on patient care and operational
reliability, the upgrade indirectly supports the City of Portland's sustainability and climate action goals in several ways.
First, newer generations of medical equipment are generally designed with updated, more energy-efficient components
and modern power management systems. This often results in a lower operational energy draw compared to older
devices. Second, more efficient batteries and charging technology in new monitors reduce the overall energy required
for charging, leading to less electricity consumption across the fleet over their lifespan, and a corresponding reduction in
the associated carbon emissions.
e. Local Funding Optimization
The PFD has not secured any other sources of funding for the monitors.
f. Project Readiness
This project can be completed within 6 months.
g. Department Priority
As this project directly relates to patient care, it is ranked as a top priority.

Project Description
The Portland Fire Department (PFD) is seeking funding for the planning and design of a new Fire/Rescue training facility
within City limits. The proposed site is on Cornell Street in Portland. This facility is critical as the City of Portland currently
lacks a dedicated training space. The facility would ideally contain the following:
- Adequate driveway, parking, and drive-thru access bays
- Specialized training props: 4-story burn/rappel tower, flashover simulator, residential live fire home (2 1⁄2 story), auto
extrication pad, aircraft mock-up/pit, concrete extinguisher pad, climbing wall, trench/confined space mock-ups, and an
outbuilding for low light/confined space/Haz Mat operations.
- Training support features: Pump and ladder testing station, hose tower, driving simulator (DEVS), and a compressed gas
storage area.
- Apparatus and logistics: Vehicle bays (minimum for ladder, pumper, ambulance, staff vehicle) with exhaust evacuation,
fuel depot, and a back-up generator supply.
- Security and site needs: Fencing with surveillance, and adequate space for expansion, parking, and a smoke dissipation
buffer.
Project Justification
The Portland Fire Department currently faces significant operational and logistical challenges due to the complete lack of a
dedicated, comprehensive training facility. This deficiency directly impacts the quality, efficiency, safety, and readiness of
our firefighting and emergency response personnel. A new facility is not merely a convenience, but a critical necessity to
ensure the PFD can meet the stringent demands of modern emergency services.
The department's current situation is unsustainable, characterized by reliance on inadequate temporary spaces and
shared facilities, which introduces a high degree of inefficiency and risk:
A. Absence of Decontamination and Health Facilities:
Crucially, the PFD has no dedicated decontamination facilities, specifically lacking showers, at any current training
location. In modern firefighting, post-exposure decontamination is mandatory for protecting the long-term health of
personnel from carcinogens, biological agents, and other hazardous materials encountered during incidents. The inability
to properly decon following realistic training scenarios—which often involve simulated exposure—undermines best
practices for firefighter health and safety.
B. Vulnerability to Weather and Lack of Indoor Space:
The PFD currently has no reliable alternate indoor area to conduct essential hands-on training when weather conditions
are poor (e.g., heavy snow, severe rain, or extreme cold/heat). This reliance on fair weather causes cancellations, delays,
or postponements of critical training exercises, creating significant scheduling backlogs and hindering the consistency of
required proficiency levels across the entire department.
C. Shared Facility Dependence and Resource Loss:
The necessity of sharing the current primary training grounds, located in Yarmouth, with other external agencies leads to a
number of persistent issues. This shared usage often results in scheduling conflicts, limited access, and, critically, the
misuse, damage, or disappearance of essential PFD training materials and equipment. Dedicated, secure storage at a PFD-
owned facility would eliminate these substantial costs and delays associated with replacing or retrieving lost assets.
The current training environments severely impede efficient operations and proper equipment maintenance:
A. Inadequate Apparatus Storage and Freezing Hazards:
There is no secure, heated space available to store apparatus used specifically for training exercises. During cold New
England winters, this lack of shelter leads to a persistent risk of water freezing within pumps, hoses, and tanks. The time
and resources spent thawing and repairing potentially damaged equipment subtracts directly from valuable training hours.
B. Unsuitable Ground Conditions and Maintenance Burden:
Training is primarily conducted on gravel and dirt surfaces. This practice is inherently messy and inefficient, resulting in a
significant amount of time spent cleaning dirt, mud, and debris from apparatus, tools, and personal protective equipment
(PPE). This intensive, non-productive labor diverts personnel from actual instruction and essential skill development,
Page 56
Project Title ID 278900 Dept Ranking
Portland Fire Drill Yard 2
representing a measurable loss of training effectiveness.
C. Logistical Burden for Fueling:
Training apparatus frequently require refueling. Without an on-site fueling station, the PFD must arrange for a fuel truck
to travel to the training site to service the trucks. This process is time-consuming, expensive, and adds unnecessary
logistical complexity to every multi-day training evolution.
Beyond physical skills training, the PFD lacks appropriate facilities for academic and administrative functions:
A. Absence of a Formal Classroom and Parking:
There is no dedicated, formal training spot that provides both ample classroom space for academic instruction and
adequate parking for all participants and instructors. While Munjoy Station is occasionally utilized for smaller classes, the
limited parking availability creates significant logistical stress for participants and disrupts station operations. A
professional training center requires modern, flexible classroom space equipped with technology to deliver theoretical
instruction alongside practical application.
B. Substandard Physical Agility Testing Area:
Currently, the department is forced to use the radio division area to conduct mandatory physical agility tests. This space is
not designed for this purpose and demonstrates a clear lack of dedicated, appropriate physical fitness testing
infrastructure. A new facility would incorporate a dedicated space to safely and accurately conduct these essential tests.
In essence, the Portland Fire Department currently operates without a central, integrated training facility capable of
supporting the full spectrum of required tasks—from apparatus maneuvering and live fire drills to academic instruction
and post-incident health management. Given the high level of technical proficiency, physical fitness, and consistent
readiness demanded of the PFD to ensure the safety of the citizens of Portland, the development of this new, centralized
facility is an essential, non-negotiable investment in the department's future effectiveness and the long-term health of its
personnel.

Criteria Justification
Rank %
a. Legal Compliance and Risk to Health, Safety and Environment
The project reduces a clear risk to public safety by significantly improving the readiness, quality, and consistency of
training for all PFD emergency response personnel. The current deficiencies—such as training cancellations due to
weather, reliance on inadequate temporary spaces, and time lost to equipment maintenance—hinder the consistency of
required proficiency levels. A new, centralized, fully-equipped facility ensures higher quality and consistent training,
allowing the PFD to consistently meet the stringent demands of modern emergency services. Additionally, by providing
mandatory post-exposure decontamination facilities, the project drastically reduces the long-term health risks (cancer,
etc.) to firefighters from carcinogens and hazardous materials encountered during training and actual incidents.
Deferring the project carries several significant and escalating risks including increased health risk to personnel, as the
continued lack of dedicated decontamination facilities means PFD personnel will continue to be exposed to carcinogenic
and hazardous materials during training and incidents without the mandatory post-exposure cleaning. This potentially
increases their long-term occupational health risks. Additionally, postponement means ongoing training deficiencies,
including weather-related cancellations, scheduling backlogs, and time diverted to non-productive tasks like equipment
cleaning and thawing. This directly hinders the PFD's ability to maintain the necessary high level of technical proficiency,
physical fitness, and consistent readiness required to ensure the safety of Portland's citizens, potentially leading to
slower or less effective emergency responses. Also, logistical strain and operational disruption due to continued reliance
on inadequate spaces like Munjoy Station for classroom work, lead to stress and disruption of station operations,
compounding the daily challenges faced by the department.
b. Asset Condition and Level of Service
The current "assets" are characterized by their poor condition, functional obsolescence, and operational inadequacy.
The conditions are inadequate (e.g., gravel and dirt surfaces, no secure, heated storage, not designed for
purpose—referring to the radio division area for physical agility tests). Additionally, the reliance on shared facilities
(Yarmouth), temporary spaces (Munjoy Station for classes), and unsuitable areas (radio division) indicates that the
existing training infrastructure has reached or exceeded its functional useful life for modern firefighting demands.
A new training facility would improve our level of service by eliminating scheduling conflicts, preventing the loss/damage
of equipment, and stopping the diversion of funds/time for asset replacement/retrieval, maximizing available training
hours. Additionally, it would eliminate cancellations and delays caused by poor weather, ensuring consistent, timely
execution of all required proficiency training. This increases operational readiness across the entire department. Also, it
would allow us to provide a professional, technology-equipped environment for instruction and a dedicated space for
mandatory fitness testing, ensuring the PFD meets both the knowledge and physical performance requirements of a
modern emergency service.
c. Equitable Community Investment
By improving the efficiency, readiness, and speed of PFD personnel through optimal training environments, the project
ensures the PFD can deliver the highest quality, most reliable emergency response to all neighborhoods in Portland.
Underserved communities often rely heavily on municipal services, and the PFD's inability to meet "the stringent
demands of modern emergency services" due to inadequate training infrastructure is a risk to public safety equity across
the city. This investment strengthens the core service provided to everyone.
d. Sustainability and Climate Action
Creating a central, integrated training facility eliminates the need to use multiple, disparate locations (like the shared
Yarmouth grounds, Munjoy Station for classrooms, and the radio division for testing). This centralization reduces the
travel distance and time for personnel and apparatus, leading to lower overall fleet fuel use and associated carbon
emissions. Additionally, the new facility would include a reliable alternate indoor area. This directly addresses the need
to adapt to increasing climate variability and extreme weather events (heavy snow, severe rain, extreme cold/heat) by
ensuring that critical hands-on and academic training can proceed year-round without cancellation or delay. This
maintains the essential readiness of the PFD to respond to climate-related emergencies (e.g., severe storms, prolonged
heat emergencies, or flooding). Lastly, the facility would include dedicated Decontamination and Health Facilities
(showers, etc.). While framed as protection against carcinogens, this is also a critical adaptation measure. Firefighters
are increasingly exposed to a wider array of hazardous materials, biological agents, and combustion products from more
intense or novel fires (linked to climate change impacts like drought and altered vegetation). Proper on-site
decontamination is essential for maintaining a healthy workforce capable of responding to complex, modern emergency
scenarios.

The PFD is not likely to secure non-municipal funding for this project.
f. Project Readiness
In 2013, a study was completed by PSSI, Public Safety Solutions, Inc., regarding the PFDs Fire and Rescue Training. The
study recommended that the Fire Chief work with the City to start the planning process for the design and construction
of a fire/rescue training facility, possibly as a regional training center. The City owns the land that we are proposing be
used for the training facility. We would go out to bid for the design and planning of the training facility within a month
or two of being approved. We expect the design and planning to be completed within 6-7 months.
g. Department Priority
This project ranks as the 2nd highest priority for the Portland Fire Department. The lack of an integrated training facility
severely impedes efficient operations and prevents the PFD from supporting the full spectrum of required tasks
necessary to meet the high level of technical proficiency and consistent readiness demanded to ensure the safety of
Portland citizens. It is deemed an essential, non-negotiable investment in the department's future effectiveness and
personnel's long-term health.

Project Description
Replacement of 100 Motorola Apex 6000 XE radios with Motorola Apex 8000 radios.
Project Justification
Immediate replacement of our 100 Motorola Apex 6000 XE portable radios is critical. These 25-year-old, technologically
obsolete units pose major operational and security risks. Motorola has withdrawn official support for the Apex 6000 XE.
This forces all maintenance onto uncertified third-party vendors, leading to increased downtime, higher costs, and
compromised system integrity due to non-OEM parts.
The current radios are single-band devices, severely restricting essential communication with key regional, state (MEMA),
and federal (FEMA) emergency partners. This lack of interoperability creates dangerous silos, hindering coordinated large-
scale incident response and jeopardizing public safety.
Upgrading to the dual-band Motorola Apex 8000 radios will restore interoperability, and guarantee reliability by providing
full manufacturer warranty, technical support, and genuine parts, ensuring maximum uptime. This upgrade is a necessary
investment to mitigate maintenance risks, end reliance on uncertified solutions, and ensure our communication
capabilities meet modern emergency management and interagency cooperation standards.

Radio replacement 3
Criteria Justification
Rank %
a. Legal Compliance and Risk to Health, Safety and Environment
This project directly avoids and significantly reduces a clear risk to public health and safety by ensuring reliable,
interoperable communication for emergency responders. The current 25-year-old, single-band Motorola Apex 6000 XE
radios present two major safety risks:
The equipment is technologically obsolete and no longer supported by the manufacturer. Reliance on uncertified third-
party vendors for non-OEM parts and repairs introduces significant risks of system integrity failure and increased
equipment downtime. In an emergency, this unreliability can lead to critical communication failure, directly jeopardizing
the safety of personnel and the public they serve.
The single-band capability severely restricts our ability to communicate with essential external emergency partners, such
as the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Maine Emergency Management Agency (MEMA),
especially during large-scale incidents. This failure of interoperability creates dangerous communication silos that
actively hinder coordinated, multi-agency response efforts, thereby compromising effective incident management and
potentially escalating the risk to public life and property.
Deferring the replacement of the radios increases the likelihood of a major, system-wide failure. A parts shortage or a
single critical component failure could render a significant portion of the radio fleet unusable, severely crippling
emergency response capabilities.
Additionally, maintenance costs will continue to escalate as genuine parts become entirely unavailable and the
department must rely more heavily on costly, non-contracted specialized third-party repair services. Extended repair
times will lead to higher equipment downtime, forcing personnel to operate with fewer reliable communication.
b. Asset Condition and Level of Service
The radios are technologically obsolete, have complete withdrawal of official manufacturer support, rely on uncertified
third-party vendors for all maintenance and non-OEM parts, and possess a critical single-band limitation that
compromises communication with outside agencies.
The radios are approximately twenty-five years old. The typical useful life for this type of technology has been exceeded,
as evidenced by the manufacturer's withdrawal of support and the resulting maintenance/interoperability issues. The
effective useful life has expired.
Replacement with the dual-band Motorola Apex 8000 radios will significantly improve the operational level of service by
enabling seamless interoperability with key external partners (FEMA, MEMA, etc.) during large-scale emergencies,
resolving the critical single-band limitation, guaranteeing full manufacturer support, warranty, and genuine parts,
ensuring maximum uptime and long-term reliability, and providing modernized technology with improved clarity,
battery life, and enhanced safety features.
c. Equitable Community Investment
While the investment is in public safety equipment rather than direct economic programs, it advances equity by
strengthening the fundamental safety net—emergency communication—that is essential for community resilience and
well-being. A reliable, interoperable public safety system ensures that when disaster strikes, all citizens, including those
in underserved communities, receive a consistent and high-quality emergency response.
d. Sustainability and Climate Action
The upgrade to dual-band Motorola Apex 8000 radios directly addresses a critical limitation (single-band
communication) that compromises effective disaster response. As climate change increases the frequency and severity
of large-scale emergencies (severe storms, floods, wildfires), seamless communication with outside agencies like FEMA
and MEMA becomes vital. By enabling effective coordination, the project ensures a more resilient and efficient response
to climate-driven events, thus adapting the operational capability to meet the heightened demands of a changing
climate.

ClassificationEquipment Strategic Priority Asset/Infrastructure Preservation
Project Description
This Capital Improvement Project (CIP) proposes the replacement of nine (9) aging Stryker ambulance stretchers currently
utilized by the Portland Fire Department (PFD). The replacement will encompass all stretchers assigned to the main line
apparatus, spare units, and those serving our outlying islands in Casco Bay. The new stretchers will include the latest
safety and ergonomic features, along with necessary accessories such as spare batteries, charging units, and a
comprehensive 60-month maintenance and service agreement for each unit.
Project Justification
The Portland Fire Department provides essential emergency medical services (EMS) to the City of Portland. In the calendar
year 2024, the PFD responded to a total of 20,337 calls for service. A significant portion of this activity—specifically 9,832
calls, or 48%—resulted in a patient being transported to a local hospital via a MEDCU (Medical Emergency Care Unit).
The Stryker stretcher is the single most critical piece of patient-handling equipment in a MEDCU. It is the primary and
safest means by which a patient is secured and transported. The integrity and reliable function of these stretchers are
paramount to ensuring a secure patient transport environment. The PFD currently operates a total of nine stretchers. The
department's operational model leverages the versatility of these devices, allowing providers to exchange stretchers
between MEDCUs. This practice is essential for distributing the workload and maximizing the service life of each unit.
However, the sheer volume of transports subjects the entire fleet to constant, high-stress use, accelerating wear and tear
beyond normal expectations.
Additionally, both the manufacturer, Stryker, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommend a maximum
service life of seven (7) years for ambulance stretchers due to the rigorous demands placed upon them and the continuous
evolution of safety technology.
The PFD's current fleet of nine stretchers is operating beyond this established safety threshold. As of 2025, the age of the
stretchers ranges from our newest unit at seven years old to our oldest unit, which is now twelve years old. Continued use
of equipment that has exceeded its recommended lifespan significantly increases the probability of mechanical failure,
which could result in a dangerous situation for both the patient and the EMS provider. While the PFD maintains an
excellent working relationship with Stryker and holds service plans for annual preventative maintenance, this maintenance
can only mitigate the risks associated with aging components; it cannot reverse the fundamental degradation of a device
operating past its design life.

FEMA AFG Grant for one stretcher. $3,137.82 is the City match required.
Operating Budget Impact
Currently, the City benefits from a comprehensive annual preventative maintenance contract with Stryker, costing $14,526
per year. A critical component of this existing contract is that it covers the replacement of any broken components on the
stretchers at no additional cost to the City's operating budget. This arrangement effectively caps the annual maintenance
expenditure at the contract price, providing budget predictability and minimizing risk.
If the City chooses not to obtain new stretchers, the current comprehensive maintenance and repair safety net will be
severely diminished, leading to a direct and potentially volatile impact on operating funds. The City would likely still have
the option to pay for an annual preventative maintenance plan, similar to the existing one. This plan would cover routine
inspections and adjustments, which are essential for basic operational safety. The fundamental change, and the major
budget risk, is that any item that breaks on a stretcher would need to be replaced using operating funds. As the stretchers
age, the frequency and severity of breakdowns are expected to increase exponentially. Components such as hydraulic
systems, wheels, batteries, and patient restraints will inevitably fail due to wear and tear. Unlike the current agreement,
which bundles repairs into a fixed annual fee, this scenario creates unpredictable, potentially large, and rapidly escalating
repair expenses. These unscheduled capital-intensive repairs would divert funds from other critical departmental needs.
This shift from a fixed, preventative cost to unpredictable, reactive repair costs poses a significant fiscal challenge.
If the City obtains new stretchers and enters into a new, comparable maintenance contract, the operating budget impact
remains controlled and predictable. The only operating budget expenditure required would be the cost of the new
preventative maintenance plan, which would be $11,440 per year for five years. Under a standard full-service contract for
new equipment, any necessary replacements or repairs due to normal wear and tear would be covered by the new
agreement, thus remaining a zero-cost item for the operating budget.

Stryker Stretcher Replacement 4
Criteria Justification
Rank %
a. Legal Compliance and Risk to Health, Safety and Environment
Manufacturer (Stryker) and FDA guidance mandate a seven-year maximum service life for ambulance stretchers due to
the rigorous, high-stress use of this life-critical equipment. The PFD's current stretchers are operating well past this
threshold, ranging in age from seven to twelve years. Continued use violates best practices and increases the City's
liability exposure.
Stretchers are the single most critical patient-handling device. With 9,832 transports (48% of 20,337 calls) in 2024, the
fleet is subjected to extreme stress, accelerating wear. Operating beyond the recommended lifespan exponentially
increases the risk of catastrophic mechanical failures (e.g., frame collapse, locking mechanism failure, hydraulic
malfunction). Such failures pose a clear and immediate danger, risking dropped patient injuries and provider soft
tissue/back injuries. Preventative maintenance can only mitigate, not reverse, this systemic degradation.
Deferring replacement will compound risks and costs:
Exponential Failure Rate: The rate of mechanical failure will increase exponentially, forcing a shift from preventative
maintenance to continuous, expensive, reactive emergency repairs.
Operational Inefficiency: Failures will lead to increased unit out-of-service time, stressing the remaining ten-unit fleet
and compromising optimal service levels and response times for over 68,000 residents.
Increased Financial Burden: Reactive, emergency repairs, obsolete parts, and prohibitive maintenance contracts for end-
of-life devices will ultimately be more costly than scheduled replacement.
Increased Liability: Knowingly perpetuating the use of non-compliant, high-risk equipment following clear
FDA/manufacturer guidance exposes the City to significant liability in the event of patient or provider injury from
equipment failure. Deferral endangers PFD personnel safety.
b. Asset Condition and Level of Service
The fleet is functioning, but its operational status is highly compromised by age and excessive wear. The condition is not
'Poor' but 'Failing' because the continued use beyond the manufacturer's maximum recommended life introduces an
unacceptable and escalating risk of catastrophic failure. The newest unit is seven years old; the oldest is twelve. Both the
manufacturer, Stryker, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommend a maximum service life of seven (7)
years for ambulance stretchers. This limit is imposed due to the continuous, rigorous demands placed on the devices
and the ongoing evolution of critical safety technology (e.g., patient securing systems, power-loading mechanisms). The
level of service this project is intended to maintain is secure, reliable, and efficient emergency patient transport.
c. Equitable Community Investment
Given that the PFD's EMS services are city-wide, the impact of reliable equipment is distributed across every geography,
directly mitigating the risk of service disruption or mechanical failure in areas that may have limited alternative access to
timely medical care. A failure of critical equipment, such as a stretcher, would disproportionately impact the most
vulnerable populations who rely on municipal EMS as their primary, and often only, resource for emergency medical
transport. This investment, therefore, directly promotes public safety equity for all Portland residents.
d. Sustainability and Climate Action
While this project is focused on critical public safety equipment, its impact on staff performance and resilience directly
aligns with the City's broader strategy for adapting to changing climate conditions. Since 1970, the average Summer
temperature in Portland have increased by almost 3 degrees F. Additionally, July 2021 and March 2024 both set new
records for rainfall. These conditions place added strain and urgency on EMS operations. Extreme heat days lead to an
increase in heat-related emergency calls, elevating the overall call volume and stress on equipment. Reliable, power-
assisted stretchers are crucial for minimizing physical exertion on EMS providers, who must often work in extreme heat
while wearing protective gear. Reducing the physical strain on staff prevents heat-related injuries and burnout, ensuring
the PFD maintains a healthy, deployable workforce during climate-driven emergency surges.
Inclement weather and flash flooding events can complicate transport and require rapid deployment and extraction. The
reliable function of modern, power-assist stretchers is essential for securing patients quickly in unstable environments,
allowing City staff to perform their duties safely and efficiently, even in the face of changing climate conditions that
exacerbate operational difficulties.
Replacing this outdated and high-risk equipment is an investment that prepares public safety infrastructure for
sustained, high-stress performance, which is a necessary component of climate adaptation and staff resilience in the
face of increasing environmental demands.

have the option to pay for an annual preventative maintenance plan, similar to the existing one. This plan would cover
routine inspections and adjustments, which are essential for basic operational safety. The fundamental change, and the
major budget risk, is that any item that breaks on a stretcher would need to be replaced using operating funds. As the
stretchers age, the frequency and severity of breakdowns are expected to increase exponentially. Components such as
hydraulic systems, wheels, batteries, and patient restraints will inevitably fail due to wear and tear. Unlike the current
agreement, which bundles repairs into a fixed annual fee, this scenario creates unpredictable, potentially large, and
rapidly escalating repair expenses. These unscheduled capital-intensive repairs would divert funds from other critical
departmental needs. This shift from a fixed, preventative cost to unpredictable, reactive repair costs poses a significant
fiscal challenge.
If the City obtains new stretchers and enters into a new, comparable maintenance contract, the operating budget
impact remains controlled and predictable. The only operating budget expenditure required would be the cost of the
new preventative maintenance plan, which would be $11,440 per year for five years. Under a standard full-service
contract for new equipment, any necessary replacements or repairs due to normal wear and tear would be covered by
the new agreement, thus remaining a zero-cost item for the operating budget.
f. Project Readiness
Should the Portland Fire Department receive CIP funding, the process for acquiring the new stretchers is as follows: The
department will first get an updated quote from Stryker for 9 stretchers, and then submit a Purchase Order request to
the City. Once the City issues the Purchase Order, the new stretchers will be ordered. All existing stretchers will be
replaced by the new equipment within one month of delivery.
g. Department Priority
The ambulance stretchers are unequivocally the single most critical piece of patient-handling equipment within a
MEDCU. It is the fundamental and safest means by which a patient is secured, monitored, and transported from the
point of emergency to the hospital. The integrity, reliable function, and continuous safety features of these stretchers
are paramount to ensuring a secure and stable patient transport environment, which directly impacts patient outcomes
and the safety of the EMS personnel. This project is ranked as the fourth highest priority for the PFD.

b. Asset Condition and Level of Service
The slab is failing and poses a saftey concern and could result in a serious injury if not repaired.
c. Equitable Community Investment
This project is a critical investment in maintaining the safety, longevity, and functional integrity of a publicly accessible
facility. While not a direct program expansion, foundational infrastructure maintenance like this is an essential
component of equitable community investment, as it ensures that existing public assets remain safe, operational, and
reliable for all community members who utilize them. Neglecting such critical structural issues would ultimately lead to
higher costs, service disruption, and potential long-term closure, disproportionately affecting residents who rely on this
facility.
d. Sustainability and Climate Action
By permanently stabilizing a failing structure, the project enhances the facility's resilience against failure, which could be
exacerbated by extreme weather events (e.g., increased moisture intrusion, freeze-thaw cycles). Structural infilling
provides a far more resilient solution than temporary or high-maintenance repairs. Additionally, the solid infill solution
requires virtually zero ongoing maintenance related to structural integrity, reducing the long-term need for resource-
intensive repairs and interventions, making the overall site infrastructure more robust and climate-change-ready. Lastly,
although the infill itself does not directly impact building energy consumption, the project ensures the safety of the area
housing utility infrastructure. Securing the structure around the boiler room is a prerequisite for any future
modernization or upgrade of heating systems, potentially paving the way for a future transition to more energy-efficient
and low-carbon heating sources (e.g., heat pumps or natural gas), directly supporting climate action goals.

N/A
Operating Budget Impact
The major renovation of the 17,000 square feet fire station is expected to result in a net decrease in the annual operating
budget, creating long-term fiscal optimization for the City.
If Funded (Renovation): The project is fundamentally replacing a system that has been operating past its expected useful
life. Replacing old equipment with modern, energy-efficient systems, particularly through the planned electrification
measures (such as high-efficiency heat pumps ), is expected to substantially reduce utility consumption (natural gas,
heating oil, and electricity). Furthermore, the modernization will eliminate a high volume of deferred maintenance costs
and unpredictable emergency repair expenditures currently associated with an aging asset in Poor condition.
If Not Funded (Deferral): Failing to fund the renovation is expected to cause an increase in future operating costs. The fire
station will continue to accrue higher utility bills due to system inefficiency, and the risk of catastrophic system failure
(e.g., in the deteriorating hose tower) will increase. Such failures would necessitate expensive, unplanned emergency
funding requests, ultimately consuming a greater percentage of the annual operating budget than the planned investment.
Increase Decrease Basis of Cost

Bramhall Fire Station - Major Renovation 8
Criteria Justification
Rank %
a. Legal Compliance and Risk to Health, Safety and Environment
The project directly mitigates a clear risk to public safety. The deteriorating hose tower and general state of the facility
pose a significant structural and operational risk. Deferring this project increases the likelihood of an unplanned
emergency closure, which would severely compromise the City's ability to provide core public safety services to the
impacted area. Furthermore, the renovation will ensure compliance with modern building and fire safety codes that
have changed since the 1960s construction.
b. Asset Condition and Level of Service
The 17,000 sq. ft. fire station was built in the late 1960s and has an expected useful life of 50 years, meaning the asset is
currently past its useful life. Its current Poor condition necessitates a major intervention to maintain the operational
level of service. Failure to act will inevitably lead to service unreliability (e.g., equipment malfunction, inadequate
facilities for personnel). The project is required to restore the asset to a state of good repair.
c. Equitable Community Investment
This investment advances equity by stabilizing essential emergency infrastructure, guaranteeing reliable and rapid
response times for all residents, including traditionally underserved populations served by this station's district.
d. Sustainability and Climate Action
The major renovation provides a significant opportunity for Mitigation by incorporating energy conservation measures
and electrifying building systems (e.g., high-efficiency heat pumps) to reduce the facility's carbon emissions, aligning
with the One Climate Future plan. It also advances Adaptation by building a climate-resilient facility, preparing public
infrastructure for extreme heat and increased rainfall.
e. Local Funding Optimization
While no external funding is currently secured, the department is actively pursuing state and federal grants. The
project's most significant benefit under this criterion is the reduction of operating expenses. Replacing the inefficient,
Poor-condition, older asset will lead to a quantifiable decrease in high maintenance and utility costs, optimizing the use
of local tax dollars in future operating budgets.

ClassificationEquipment Strategic Priority System Expansion
Project Description
The City has a variety of software applications that are used for personnel related activities, including recruiting, hiring,
onboarding, training, scheduling, payroll, and many other needs. Often these systems are limiting, time consuming,
inefficient, and do not integrate with each other. This leads to significant inefficiences, many manual processes, a lack of
standardization in many areas, and poor data capabilities. The City is currently soliciting bids for a consultant to advise the
City on processes and software to more efficiently manage these processes, including a potentially new Human Resources
Information System (HRIS). Assuming the consultant's recommendation is a new HRIS and/or other software, this project
will be needed to implement those recommendations.
Project Justification
The current software used by departments in the areas of personnel management (recruiting, HR, training, scheduling,
payroll, etc.) is inconsistent across departments, does not integrate with other software, and often is not suited to the
task. For example, MUNIS is unable to handle many basic HR functions, including modern recruiting, benefits
administration, etc.; the Barron Center's timekeeping software will no longer be supported after this year; payroll is a
significant time concern in all departments, with many errors and manual reports to check accuracy.
This leads to inefficient use of staff time, regular mistakes, limited ability to leverage technology to increase capacity, very
limited ability to get and utilize data for improvement, and lack of integration between systems. The goal of this project is
to modernize at least our HRIS and related processes, and potentially other related software beyond that. Ideally,
increasing capabilities, creating efficiencies, and giving us the ability to be more data driven in decision making.

Networking Hardware Replacement - Wired, WiFi and Infrastructure 1
Information Technology
Division Inform Tech Administration
ClassificationEquipment Strategic Priority Asset/Infrastructure Preservation
Project Description
This project will replace all priority network switches identified in IT's network lifecycle plan. These switches support
critical services across public safety, public works, and municipal facilities and are at or near end-of-support, increasing the
risk of failures and security vulnerabilities. As part of this effort, all GBICs connected to the core switches in scope will also
be replaced with fully supported modules to ensure they are covered under Extreme Networks support and the City’s
existing maintenance contracts. The project will also replace existing non-standard Wi-Fi hardware at 39 Forest Ave and
654 Riverside St Shelter with standardized, fully supported equipment. Collectively, these upgrades will improve reliability,
performance, and security for City operations.
Project Justification
This project is necessary to replace the City’s Extreme X460-G2 switches, which reach end of software support in October
2026. Once these devices are out of support, the City will no longer receive critical security patches, bug fixes, or firmware
updates from the manufacturer. Continuing to operate core infrastructure on unsupported software would expose the
network to increasing cybersecurity risk, potential compliance issues, and longer, more difficult recovery times in the
event of failures or vulnerabilities.
The X460-G2 platform is widely deployed across key City facilities and supports essential services such as phones, cameras,
Wi-Fi access points, and connectivity for public safety, public works, and administrative operations. As these devices age
out of support, it becomes harder to obtain replacement parts, vendor assistance, and consistent performance under
growing bandwidth and PoE demands. Proactively replacing the X460-G2 switches with current-generation, fully
supported hardware—aligned with the City’s standard Extreme Networks architecture and existing support contracts—will
reduce unplanned outages, simplify operations, and ensure that the City’s network remains secure, resilient, and capable
of supporting future technology needs.
The 73 network switches in this project form the wired backbone for multiple City departments, including several critical
24/7 operations. These switches provide connectivity and Power over Ethernet (PoE) for phones, cameras, Wi-Fi access
points, desktops, and servers across public safety (police, fire, EMS), public works, shelters, administrative offices, and
other municipal facilities. Many of the switches are installed in locations that must remain online at all times, such as
dispatch centers, public safety facilities, and emergency shelter sites, where even short network outages can disrupt
essential services, delay response times, or impact staff and client safety.
Because these switches sit in the direct path of core business systems—voice, video, access control, public safety
applications, and line-of-business systems—their failure or instability can have a cascading effect across departments.
Replacing all 73 units as a coordinated project ensures that departments relying on 24/7 services have stable, fully
supported hardware, reduces the likelihood of unplanned outages, and allows IT to standardize configurations,
monitoring, and support across the environment. This proactive replacement strategy is necessary to maintain reliable
service delivery to residents, staff, and vulnerable populations who depend on the City’s infrastructure every day.
Standardizing on fully supported Extreme Networks switches and GBICs, aligned with the City’s existing support contracts,
will reduce downtime risk, simplify troubleshooting, and ensure faster vendor response when issues occur. In addition,
replacing non-standard Wi-Fi hardware at 39 Forest Ave and 654 Riverside St Shelter with supported, enterprise-grade
equipment will improve connectivity and security for staff and clients at those locations. Overall, this project addresses a
known gap in the City’s technology lifecycle planning and is necessary to maintain a stable, secure foundation for current
and future services.

a. Legal Compliance and Risk to Health, Safety and Environment
This project directly supports the City’s ability to meet growing legal and regulatory expectations around cybersecurity,
privacy, and continuity of operations. Many of the 73 switches in scope, along with associated GBICs and non-standard
Wi-Fi hardware, are at or near end-of-support. Once they fall out of vendor support, the City can no longer rely on
timely security patches, firmware updates, or vendor assistance, which undermines compliance with internal IT security
policies, state and federal data protection expectations, and cyber insurance requirements. Standardizing on fully
supported Extreme Networks switches, optics, and Wi-Fi infrastructure ensures that equipment is running current,
supportable software and can be centrally logged, monitored, and managed in line with best-practice security
frameworks.
These network devices are not “nice to have” infrastructure; they underpin critical 24/7 public safety and human
services operations. The switches in this project provide connectivity and PoE to phones, radios, cameras, access control
systems, workstations, and servers for departments such as police, fire, EMS, shelters (including 654 Riverside St), and
administrative and field facilities across the City. Non-standard Wi-Fi at locations like 39 Forest Ave and 654 Riverside St
Shelter presents additional reliability and security risks for staff and vulnerable clients who depend on consistent access
to City systems. Failure or instability in this network layer can disrupt emergency communications, delay response to
incidents, impact safety in shelters and public buildings, and interfere with monitoring and control systems that help
protect the environment and public infrastructure.
Delaying this project by one or more years significantly increases risk. As hardware ages further past its support window,
the likelihood of unplanned outages, unresolvable security vulnerabilities, and extended recovery times rises sharply.
The City would be forced into reactive, piecemeal emergency replacements at higher cost and with greater disruption,
rather than planned, coordinated cutovers. In the worst case, a major outage or security incident affecting dispatch,
public safety facilities, shelters, or other critical services could lead to real-world consequences for health, safety, and
environmental protection, as well as legal liability and reputational damage for the City. Proactive replacement now is
the most responsible way to manage risk and maintain safe, compliant, and reliable operations.
b. Asset Condition and Level of Service
Most of the network switches and related components included in this project are in Fair to Poor condition from a
lifecycle standpoint. Many are legacy Extreme X460-G2 and X440-G2 models that are 7–10+ years old and approaching
or at the end of their expected service life. These devices still maintain acceptable uptime today only because IT staff
actively monitor them, keep software as current as possible, and work around hardware and feature limitations. Over
the past 12 months, there have been increasing tickets related to port failures, PoE issues, performance constraints, and
configuration workarounds needed to keep up with growing bandwidth and security requirements. While uptime has
generally remained high, it is increasingly dependent on proactive attention and the availability of spare parts that are
becoming harder to source.
From a level-of-service perspective, these switches are central to delivering reliable connectivity for phones, radios,
cameras, Wi-Fi, access control, and business systems across public safety, shelters, public works, and administrative
facilities. As the hardware ages past its supported lifecycle, it becomes more difficult to maintain service levels: firmware
can no longer be updated to address vulnerabilities or bugs, new features needed for security (such as stronger
authentication or improved segmentation) are not available, and the risk of unplanned outages grows. Non-standard Wi-
Fi hardware at locations such as 39 Forest Ave and 654 Riverside St Shelter also falls outside the City’s standard support
model and introduces variability in performance and manageability.
Replacement—rather than spot repair—is the appropriate strategy to maintain and improve service levels. Installing
current-generation, fully supported Extreme switches and standardized Wi-Fi hardware will restore the assets to Good
condition, simplify maintenance, and align all components with existing support contracts and tools. This will reduce
reactive break/fix work, improve performance and stability for 24/7 operations, and ensure that the network can
support future application, security, and bandwidth needs. Without this project, the City can expect a gradual decline in
service reliability, more frequent disruptions to departments and the public, and higher long-term costs due to
emergency replacements and staff time spent maintaining aging equipment.
c. Equitable Community Investment
The 73 switches and related network components in scope serve a wide range of departments and facilities, including
emergency shelters, public safety facilities, and community-facing buildings where people experiencing homelessness,

Project Title ID 278709 Dept Ranking
Networking Hardware Replacement - Wired, WiFi and Infrastructure 1
people with disabilities, low-income residents, and other vulnerable groups interact with the City. In particular,
standardizing and upgrading network and Wi-Fi infrastructure at locations such as 39 Forest Ave and the 654 Riverside
St Shelter directly benefits individuals and families who depend on these sites for safe shelter, case management, and
access to information and support services. Reliable, secure connectivity at these locations helps staff coordinate
housing, health, and social services, and allows clients to communicate with employers, medical providers, schools, and
support networks.
Because the network is a citywide shared backbone, improving its reliability and security has a multiplier effect on
equity. Many services that disproportionately benefit underserved populations—public safety response, emergency
communications, social services, housing assistance, and neighborhood-based programming—depend on the same
underlying switches, optics, and Wi-Fi infrastructure. Upgrading aging, unsupported hardware to modern, fully
supported equipment reduces outages, improves performance for critical applications, and ensures that staff in shelters,
field sites, and neighborhood facilities have the same quality of tools and connectivity as those in central offices.
By proactively investing in this foundational infrastructure, the City helps ensure that communities and locations with
higher levels of poverty, housing instability, and other vulnerabilities are not left with lower-quality or less reliable
digital services. Instead, the project supports consistent, resilient service delivery across all neighborhoods and
populations, aligning with the City’s broader equity goals and data-driven efforts to prioritize resources where they are
most needed.

f. Project Readiness
The City has a well-established history of successfully delivering this type of network lifecycle project. Over the past
several years, IT has systematically upgraded core firewalls, distribution and access switches, and wireless infrastructure
using the same standards-based designs, vendors, and implementation approach proposed for this project. The current
“Switch Inventory Lifecycle/Budgeting Plan” and Executive Summary build on that ongoing program: equipment has
been inventoried, prioritized by age and support status, and grouped into planned replacement cohorts. This project
simply funds the next phase of that ongoing, repeatable lifecycle work.
From a readiness standpoint, the assets in scope are already identified by location, model, and count, and have been
mapped to replacement Extreme Networks hardware and supported GBICs. Staff are familiar with these platforms, have
standardized configurations in place, and have experience coordinating evening/early-morning cutovers with
departments, including 24/7 public safety and shelter operations. The work can be sequenced by site and cabinet,
allowing for predictable milestones such as procurement, staging and configuration, pilot replacements at lower-risk
sites, phased cutovers at critical facilities, and final decommissioning and disposal of legacy equipment.
The IT department has the internal capacity and tools to deliver this project on time and on budget, using the same
team structure and playbooks that have been successful in past infrastructure refreshes. For larger, multi-site efforts,
the department follows a project management plan (PMP)-style approach: defined scope, schedule, communication
plan with departments, risk tracking, and change windows documented and tracked through the City’s standard
processes. Because this is an extension of an existing, ongoing lifecycle program—not a new or experimental
initiative—the project carries a high degree of readiness and a clear path to timely completion once funding is approved.
You will find our timeline overview attached.
g. Department Priority
This project is ranked first because it is essential to maintaining a stable and secure network foundation across the City.
Replacing aging wired, WiFi, and infrastructure hardware will provide approximately seven years of reliable performance
before another replacement cycle is needed. With software support ending in October 2026, timely replacement is
critical to prevent security, compatibility, and operational risks.

Citywide Camera Consolidation 2
Information Technology
Division Inform Tech Administration
ClassificationEquipment Strategic Priority System Expansion
Project Description
This project funds the continued modernization and expansion of the City's centralized security camera system. The scope
includes the purchase and installation of high-resolution cameras and 2x 84TB of NVRs storage to replace obsolete
equipment. Priority installation sites for this phase are 212 Canco Road, Fitzpatrick Stadium, Kiwanis Pool, the Expo, Fish
Pier, Deering Oak Castle, PD, and the Waterfront.
Project Justification
This project is necessary to mitigate safety risks, protect City property, and standardize our security infrastructure. The
justification for this investment falls into three critical categories:
Modernization & Centralization: Current systems at major operational sites, specifically Canco Road, are outdated,
decentralized, and effectively end-of-life. Migrating these to the City's centralized platform is essential for reliable
monitoring and maintenance. Additionally, this project completes critical Waterfront security improvements that were
deferred in the previous phase due to funding limitations.
Closing Critical Security Gaps: Several public areas currently lack adequate coverage, which could expose the organization
to potential liabilities. The Fish Pier currently has zero surveillance coverage, which has resulted in unresolved property
damage incidents. The Police Department requires exterior coverage to address recurring security issues in the rear
parking/garage area. Similarly, Deering Oaks Castle has no existing coverage; new cameras are required to monitor public
safety and manage unauthorized occupancy issues, particularly during the summer season.
New Construction & Compliance: We must equip the Kiwanis Pool (scheduled for completion in Summer 2026) with
surveillance infrastructure to protect the new asset immediately upon opening. To support this expansion, additional
Network Video Recorders (NVRs) are required to meet data retention mandates, ensuring all video footage is stored for a
minimum of 30 to 90 days for investigative purposes.

1. Meets Legal or Regulatory Requirement
- NDAA Compliance: The project replaces aging, non-compliant surveillance hardware with equipment that meets the
NDAA standards, safeguarding the City's network security.
- Video Retention Mandate: Funds the Network Video Recorders required to meet legal and operational mandates for
storing video footage for 30 to 90 days for investigations.
2. Prevents or Reduces Risks to Public Health, Safety, or the Environment
- Closes Security Gaps: Directly addresses vulnerabilities at high-risk sites with poor or zero existing coverage.
- Fish Pier: Adds surveillance where no coverage currently exists, mitigating risks of property damage and theft.
- Deering Oaks Castle: Adds monitoring to manage public safety and prevent unauthorized occupancy during summer
months.
- Police Department: Provides exterior coverage for the parking/garage area to deter security incidents involving
personnel and City vehicles.
- Asset Protection: Equips the new Kiwanis Pool (2026 completion) with security to protect the municipal asset
immediately upon opening.
3. Risk of Delaying the Project
- Technical Failure & Liability: Relying on the current outdated Lenel system, which is operating without a support
contract, risks catastrophic video data loss, severely hindering law enforcement investigations.
- Cost Escalation: Delaying project initiation triggers the Escalation Clause in vendor quotes, virtually guaranteeing a
price increase due to supply chain volatility and material cost changes. The 10% management buffer is explicitly included
to address this immediate financial risk.
b. Asset Condition and Level of Service
Asset Type & Age: The City currently relies on an aging mix of disparate camera systems, including a core Lenel system.
Condition: The overall system is in Poor/Failing condition.
- The Lenel platform is out of support and cannot be upgraded.
- Numerous cameras are operating on outdated technology and are not NDAA Compliant.
Performance & Maintenance: Performance is critically unreliable.
- Several cameras at the Waterfront have been down for four or more years.
- Existing decentralized systems (e.g., at Canco Road) are difficult to manage and maintain, reducing staff efficiency.
Improve Investigative Capabilities: The installation of new cameras closes critical service gaps, providing surveillance
where there is currently none (e.g., Fish Pier and Deering Oaks Castle ), and ensuring proper coverage at the Police
Department parking area. This directly improves the Police Department's ability to investigate security incidents and
property damage.
c. Equitable Community Investment
Increased Public Safety: Expanding coverage in public and recreational areas directly benefits those who rely most
heavily on public spaces and facilities for community access, recreation, and safe passage.
Deterrence of Unauthorized Occupancy: New cameras at sites like Deering Oaks Castle are required to monitor public
safety and manage unauthorized occupancy, particularly during summer months. Addressing these safety issues ensures
these public parks remain accessible and safe for all residents, including families and historically marginalized groups
Island Community Investment: The inclusion of the Peaks Island Rec Center (Quote #042429) ensures that the City is
making a targeted capital investment to improve security infrastructure in an isolated geographic area, providing an
equitable level of service to the island community
City-Wide Consistency: Migrating all locations to a centralized and supported system ensures that every resident,
regardless of neighborhood, benefits from the same high level of security service, reliability, and investigative support
for safety incidents

Citywide Camera Consolidation 2
Conserving Energy: The new cameras and NVRs purchased are modern, energy-efficient devices, replacing older, less
efficient surveillance units currently in use
Reducing Vehicle Emissions: Centralizing the management system and installing modern, reliable equipment significantly
reduces the need for maintenance technicians to travel repeatedly to disparate sites across the city, including remote
areas like Peaks Island Rec Center. This reduction in service trips supports the goal of cutting vehicle emissions.
Hardened Infrastructure: Many new installations use Outdoor Vandal Resistant and Multi-Sensor cameras (e.g., at
Fitzpatrick Stadium, Fish Pier, and Deering Oaks). These robust devices are designed to withstand harsher exterior
conditions, improving operational resilience during severe weather events.
Data Resilience: Centralizing the new high-capacity NVRs (Quote #052542) at a core City facility supports data resilience
by ensuring critical video evidence is stored in a secure, environmentally controlled location, protected from localized
storm or flood impacts at remote field sites.
e. Local Funding Optimization
There is no secured or likely external funding (Federal, State, or Other grants/fees) designated for this project.
f. Project Readiness
Project History: This CIP request is for the continuation of the city-wide security camera system upgrade project, which
has already completed multiple milestones:
- Build server infrastructure at CH and redundancy at 212 Canco Rd
- Upgraded camera infrastructure at the following locations: PD, CH, Ice Arena, District Rd - DPW, OGW and Waterfront.
Ready-to-Execute: The current status is essentially shovel-ready. The scope of work is fully documented for all locations,
and all costs are based on firm, itemized vendor quotes for equipment, labor, and programming.
g. Department Priority
This project is ranked second because it is vital for mitigating safety risks, protecting City property, and standardizing the
City’s security infrastructure. It replaces outdated, decentralized, and end-of-life camera systems across major

New Fiber in CityHall and OGW Whale Building 4
Information Technology
Division Inform Tech Administration
ClassificationEquipment Strategic Priority Asset/Infrastructure Preservation
Project Description
This project will replace aging OM1 multimode fiber infrastructure within Portland City Hall and within the Ocean Gateway
Terminal with new single-mode fiber optic cabling. The existing OM1 at both locations is bandwidth-limited and nearing
end-of-life, creating risk for the network services that rely on these internal fiber backbones.
The work will be performed as two related but distinct scopes:
City Hall Fiber Replacement
- Replace existing OM1 fiber runs that serve as internal backbone/IDF–MDF links with new single-mode fiber.
- Use existing pathways, conduits, and trays where feasible.
- Provide new terminations, patch panels, and labeling as required.
- Perform end-to-end testing (OTDR and loss) on all strands and provide documented results.
- Migrate existing network connections at City Hall from the OM1 to the new single-mode fiber.
- Update City Hall network diagrams and documentation to reflect the new fiber paths and decommissioned OM1.
Ocean Gateway Fiber Replacement
- Replace existing OM1 fiber runs within the Ocean Gateway facility that support switches, Wi-Fi, IP phones, cameras, and
other networked systems.
- Reuse existing pathways where possible while ensuring compliance with current standards and best practices.
- Install, terminate, and label new single-mode fiber with sufficient strand count for future expansion.
- Perform end-to-end testing (OTDR and loss) and deliver test reports for all installed strands.
- Transition all impacted network links at Ocean Gateway from OM1 to the new single-mode fiber.
Project Justification
Both Portland City Hall and the Ocean Gateway Terminal currently rely on legacy OM1 multimode fiber as part of their
internal network backbone. While OM1 was suitable for older 10/100 Mbps and early 1 Gb deployments, it is now a
significant technical and operational limitation for the City’s growing bandwidth and reliability needs.
This justification applies to two separate but related projects:
- Replacement of OM1 fiber within City Hall
- Replacement of OM1 fiber within Ocean Gateway Terminal
1) Technical Limitations of OM1:
1.1) Bandwidth ceiling and distance limits
OM1 (62.5/125 µm) was never designed for sustained multi-gigabit speeds over typical building runs. It is constrained at 1
Gb and becomes increasingly marginal or unusable for 10 Gb links over practical distances. This directly limits the City’s
ability to:
- Deploy 10 Gb uplinks between MDF/IDFs
- Support higher-density wireless (Wi-Fi 6/7) and IoT devices
- Aggregate high-resolution video surveillance and other data-heavy systems
1.2) Higher error rates and performance instability
Older multimode fiber is more susceptible to modal dispersion and signal degradation, especially after years of
moves/adds/changes and physical stress. This can manifest as:
- Intermittent packet loss and retransmissions
- “Mystery” performance issues that are difficult to troubleshoot
- Reduced effective throughput even when link speeds appear nominal
1.3) Not aligned with modern backbone standards
Industry best practice for new backbone installations is single-mode fiber (OS2), which supports 10/25/40/100 Gb and
beyond over campus and building distances. Continuing to rely on OM1 leaves City Hall and Ocean Gateway as outliers
compared to current standards and to the City’s broader design direction.
2) Reliability and Risk to Critical Services
Page 93
Project Title ID 278708 Dept Ranking
New Fiber in CityHall and OGW Whale Building 4
Both City Hall and Ocean Gateway host critical City services: core network infrastructure, phones, cameras, access control,
and public-facing systems. The age and limitations of OM1 create the following risks:
2.1) Increased risk of outages
Aging fiber, older terminations, and patching on OM1 runs increase the chance of unexpected link failures. Outages at
either site can impact:
- Public safety communications and City operations at City Hall
- Event operations, ticketing, security cameras, and City services at Ocean Gateway
2.2) Limited ability to absorb growth or new systems
As more devices and applications are added (e.g., more cameras, enhanced Wi-Fi, new applications), the OM1 backbone
has no real headroom. Without a single-mode upgrade, future projects may be blocked or forced into compromised
designs.
2.3) Difficult, time-consuming troubleshooting
When congestion or optical issues occur on OM1, they often present as “slow network” problems rather than clean link
failures. This increases IT support time and incident impact, and can be avoided by moving to modern, high-margin single-
mode infrastructure.
3) Operational and Strategic Benefits of Single-Mode
Replacing OM1 with new single-mode fiber at each site provides clear, long-term value:
3.1) Future-proof capacity
Single-mode supports 10 Gb and higher speeds over existing building and campus distances, giving the City a long-term
path for:
- Core/Distribution upgrades
- High-density wireless and IoT
- High-bandwidth applications like video, backup/replication, and data analytics
3.2) Standardization across the City network
Moving City Hall and Ocean Gateway to single-mode brings them in line with the City’s current design standards and other
backbone projects. This:
- Simplifies design and documentation
- Reduces the variety of optics and cabling IT must support
- Makes future expansions and inter-building links more straightforward
3.3) Improved reliability and easier maintenance
New single-mode runs, properly installed and tested, provide:
- Lower optical loss and higher signal margin
- Clean documentation (strand counts, labeling, OTDR/loss test results)
- Reduced troubleshooting time and fewer “chronic” link issues
4) Financial Justification
4.1) Protecting investments in switching, wireless, and security
The City has already invested in modern switches, wireless infrastructure, security systems, and applications that can take
advantage of higher speeds and better reliability. Continuing to run these over aging OM1 fiber underutilizes that
investment and increases support costs.
4.2) Avoiding reactive emergency work
Proactively replacing OM1 as a planned project is more cost-effective than responding to a major failure:
- Emergency repairs often involve premium labor rates and rushed design decisions.
- Outage impact to City operations and public-facing services can exceed the cost of a planned upgrade.
4.3) Long service life of single-mode
Single-mode fiber has a long expected service life and will support multiple generations of active equipment upgrades. This
makes it a capital investment that will remain useful far beyond the current hardware refresh cycle.

Criteria Justification
Rank %
a. Legal Compliance and Risk to Health, Safety and Environment
How the project meets legal or regulatory requirements:
1) The fiber at City Hall and Ocean Gateway are core transport for systems that support public safety, emergency
management, and secure City operations (e.g., IP phones, security cameras, access control, and data connections back
to City data centers). Maintaining reliable connectivity for these systems is part of the City’s obligation to provide safe
public facilities and effective emergency response.
2) Replacing aging OM1 cabling with new, code-compliant single-mode fiber ensures ongoing alignment with:
- Building and fire codes for low-voltage cabling (removal of abandoned cable where required, proper fire-rated
pathways, compliant terminations, and labeling).
- Workplace safety regulations, by reducing the likelihood of makeshift or temporary network work-arounds (loose
patch cords, improvised cabling) that can create trip hazards or obstruct egress routes.
- Security and data protection standards that assume a stable and resilient network for systems handling sensitive
information (police, permitting, finance, etc.), many of which traverse these backbone links.
3) By proactively replacing end-of-life OM1 infrastructure with a modern, documented, tested single-mode, the City
demonstrates due diligence in maintaining the technical foundation required to meet these obligations and to pass
future audits, inspections, or compliance reviews tied to its facilities and public-safety systems.
How the project prevents or reduces risks to public health, safety, or the environment:
1) Supports critical public-safety and security systems
Both City Hall and Ocean Gateway depend on the internal fiber backbone for:
- Security cameras monitoring public areas, entrances, and waterfront spaces.
- Electronic access control and alarm systems that protect staff, visitors, and critical infrastructure.
- Voice and data services used by City staff to coordinate responses to incidents, events, and emergencies.
Failures of the underlying fiber can directly degrade these systems, increasing the risk of delayed response or blind spots
during security or safety incidents.
2) Reduces the likelihood and impact of outages during emergencies
Ocean Gateway operates as a high-traffic public facility (events, tourism, waterfront activity). City Hall is the
administrative and, in many cases, coordination hub for the City. During severe weather, waterfront incidents, or large
events, reliable connectivity is essential for:
- Coordinating police, fire, EMS, and public works responses.
- Providing situational awareness via cameras and monitoring systems.
- Communicating with partner agencies and the public.
Upgrading to single-mode substantially reduces outage risk caused by marginal, aging OM1 fiber and improves the
probability that critical systems remain available when needed most.
3) Improves physical and environmental safety of cabling
- Replacing and properly removing or retiring old OM1 bundles reduces cable congestion in trays, closets, and risers,
lowering fire load and improving access for other building systems.
- Clean, labeled, and documented single-mode infrastructure reduces the need for ad-hoc cabling or risky “temporary”
fixes that can block access panels, create trip hazards, or interfere with other life-safety systems.
Risk of delaying the project by one or more years:
If the replacement of OM1 fiber at City Hall and Ocean Gateway is deferred:
1) Increased risk of unplanned outages impacting safety-critical systems
- The existing OM1 fiber is already at end-of-life and operating close to its technical limits. As it continues to age, the
likelihood of intermittent or complete failures increases.
- A major failure could take down cameras, phones, access control, or network services at either site during a critical
incident, directly affecting public and staff safety.
2) Higher probability of emergency, reactive work
Page 96
Project Title ID 278708 Dept Ranking
New Fiber in CityHall and OGW Whale Building 4
- Instead of a planned, orderly upgrade, the City may be forced into emergency repairs or rushed temporary solutions
if a backbone link fails.
- Emergency work typically carries higher cost, higher operational risk, and greater disruption to City services, and may
still not bring the infrastructure up to a modern, sustainable standard.
3) Constraints on other safety and modernization projects
- Planned or future upgrades—such as higher-resolution cameras, expanded wireless coverage, or new safety
systems—may not be deployable over the existing OM1 infrastructure.
- This could delay or downgrade projects directly tied to public safety, security, or emergency operations because the
underlying fiber cannot reliably support required bandwidth or performance.
4) Cumulative risk at two critical facilities instead of one
- Because City Hall and Ocean Gateway are being addressed as separate projects, delaying either one leaves a known,
aging, high-risk component in the City’s infrastructure.
- Each year of delay extends the period during which critical safety-related services depend on fiber that is beyond its
intended lifecycle and no longer aligned with the City’s network standards.
b. Asset Condition and Level of Service
Asset: Internal OM1 multimode fiber backbone cabling and terminations within Portland City Hall and Ocean Gateway
Terminal (serving MDF–IDF links and key network equipment).
City Hall – Existing Fiber Backbone:
1) Condition: Fair to Poor
- Fiber is operational but aging, with increased sensitivity to handling, patching changes, and higher-speed links.
Connectors and patch panels are from older generations and show wear.
2) Age:
- OM1 cabling is legacy, estimated to be well beyond the typical useful life for critical backbone infrastructure (on the
order of 15+ years).
3) Expected Life:
- Functionally at or beyond end-of-life for modern backbone use (particularly for 10 Gb and future upgrades).
Continued service is possible but with increasing risk and no margin for growth.
4) Maintenance History (Past 12 Months):
- Multiple troubleshooting efforts for intermittent performance issues, link errors, or speed/duplex constraints
between MDF and IDFs.
- Periodic re-termination/cleaning of fiber ends and patching adjustments to stabilize links.
- No comprehensive refurbishment—work has been reactive rather than a full modernization.
5) Performance / “Up-time”:
- Core links have generally remained online, but with episodes of degraded performance and increased error counts
rather than clean hard failures.
- The lack of capacity and signal margin on OM1 constrains uplink speeds and forces conservative configurations (e.g.,
1 Gb links where 10 Gb is desirable), which limits the service level provided to staff and systems in the building.
Ocean Gateway – Existing Fiber Backbone:
1) Condition: Fair to Poor
- Similar to City Hall, the OM1 is functioning but aging, with older terminations and limited documentation.
- The environment (waterfront facility, event usage, more frequent physical activity) increases the likelihood of stress
on cabling and patch points.
2) Age:
- Legacy OM1 cabling, again beyond the typical lifecycle for critical backbone infrastructure and not aligned with
current design standards.
3) Expected Life:
- Technically still carrying traffic, but at the end of its useful service life for a high-reliability, high-bandwidth public
facility.
4) Maintenance History (Past 12 Months):
- Reactive support for intermittent connectivity or performance issues supporting switches, Wi-Fi, cameras, and other
systems.
- Occasional need to re-seat or re-patch connections to resolve errors or unstable links.

New Fiber in CityHall and OGW Whale Building 4
- No full re-cabling or modernization; maintenance has focused on keeping the legacy “just working.”
5) Performance / “Up-time”:
- Service has remained mostly available, but with limited capacity and minimal headroom for event-driven spikes in
usage (crowds, large ships/events, etc.).
- The backbone is vulnerable to performance degradation that can affect cameras, access control, and staff
connectivity during high-demand periods.
c. Equitable Community Investment
How the project advances equity:
Supporting equitable access to City services (City Hall)
1) City Hall is the primary hub for many services that are especially important to underserved communities, including:
- Housing assistance, General Assistance, and social services
- Public health, permitting, licensing, and customer service counters
- Public meetings (in-person and hybrid) where residents can participate in government decision-making
2) These activities all depend on stable, high-bandwidth network connectivity for:
- Online case management and benefit eligibility systems
- Real-time language interpretation and translation tools
- Video conferencing, hybrid public meetings, and remote testimony
- Accessible digital services (screen readers, captioning, assistive technology)
3) By replacing failing OM1 fiber with reliable single-mode backbone cabling, the project:
- Reduces service interruptions that disproportionately affect people who have fewer alternatives (e.g., limited
transportation, limited ability to take time off work, or reliance on public computers/phones).
- Improves digital accessibility, ensuring that residents with disabilities can reliably access online forms, information, and
remote participation options that depend on video, audio, and assistive technologies.
- Strengthens support for language access, allowing staff to consistently use video/phone interpretation services and
translation tools during customer interactions with residents who have limited English proficiency.
d. Sustainability and Climate Action
None
e. Local Funding Optimization
None
f. Project Readiness
The project is highly shovel-ready. All major pre-work has been completed: site visits to both City Hall and Ocean
Gateway are done, existing pathways have been verified, and pre-installed pullcords are already in place in the conduits
to facilitate the new single-mode fiber installation. This significantly reduces construction risk, shortens install time, and
improves cost predictability.
Current State of Readiness & History:
- Existing OM1 fiber assets at both sites have been identified and documented.
- Pathways and terminations have been reviewed during site walks with IT and Facilities staff.
- Pullcords have been installed in advance, confirming conduit continuity and eliminating a common source of delay.
- Scope has been defined as two related but distinct projects:
1) Internal fiber replacement at City Hall
2) Internal fiber replacement at Ocean Gateway
This pre-work means the project can move quickly from funding approval to procurement and installation.
g. Department Priority
This project is ranked fourth because the existing fiber in City Hall and the OGW Whale Building is bandwidth-limited
and nearing end of life, creating a growing risk of network interruptions. Replacing this infrastructure will provide best-
practice, future-proof capacity for critical network services and significantly reduce the likelihood of outages. While
important for long-term resiliency, it ranks below more immediate hardware and security priorities.

The City of Portland currently operates seven aging phone servers spread across departments. Many of these servers are
approaching end-of-life status, requiring costly maintenance, limited failover capacity, and increased risk of service
outages.
This project addresses the critical need to modernize the City’s phone infrastructure by consolidating those servers into
two high-availability (HA) pairs—one at City Hall and one at the Public Safety campus. These HA configurations ensure
mission-critical communications remain operational even during hardware or connectivity failures.
Additionally, this project supports a strategic shift to SIP-based telephony, significantly reducing recurring telecom costs
and paving the way for future transition to cloud systems without locking the City into high capital or licensing
expenditures now. By utilizing existing newer servers and reallocating hardware, the City avoids unnecessary spending
while prolonging asset value.
This investment is necessary to:

ClassificationEquipment Strategic Priority Asset/Infrastructure Preservation
Project Description
Partial CIP funding already exists for this project. This additional request is for supplemental funding to close the funding
gap.
The project entails replacement / reconstruction of existing play area and installation of several new pieces of equipment
and nature-based play. The sitework is completely designed and approved through planning and improvements include
stormwater management to reduce significant erosion and runoff concerns and negative impacts to the Capisic Pond
/brook watershed. The project currently has received a construction bid and is in the process of negotiations and value
engineering to reduce the cost.
Project Justification
Partial CIP funding already exists for this project. This additional request is for supplemental funding to close the funding
gap.
Longfellow School Community Playground is a roughly 30,000 sf play area that includes 24,000 sf of existing open space
and playground areas with equipment, and a 6,000 sf stand of mature pine trees that has informal “fairy” woods play. The
current primary play structure and smaller support equipment is extremely old, being donated from the old St. Patricks
school play equipment after it’s closing in 2007.
Longfellow currently has 16 out of 18 full classrooms, and their recess use of the playground entails groups of children in
groups of grades k-2 and 3-5, with approximately 120-150 kids at any given time. A new Pre-k program is anticipated once
renovations to the building are completed. Full capacity makes recess play numbers approximately 150-180 children
during peak hours. Higher use rates and more complicated drainage issues at most hybrid play areas contribute to
elevated design, construction, and maintenance costs for these spaces. The surrounding neighborhoods include Deering
Center where the school is immediately located, and bordering Rosemont and Riverton neighborhoods
Pre-k classes consist of up to 18 children with a lead teacher and assistant teachers. Children may start the school year
around 4 years of age, and typically will reach 5 years of age in the school year. Pre-k play areas usually have age specific
types of manufactured play equipment and separation from older age play spaces.
The Parks Department worked with Maine Recreation and Design and Parks Playground technicians to replace a failing net
climber in 2021. An existing 4 bay swing set is also a more recent equipment addition. These two pieces of equipment will
remain. Several years ago a community design intervention was attempted to improve erosion / runoff issues that flood
the lower parking and ball fields areas with debris. Some debris comes from the playground and upper slopes on the
Stevens Avenue side of the school. Parks intends to work with Portland Water Resources to address the drainage
concerns, pathway and circulation requirements are being reviewed to ensure neighborhood use can continue
appropriately.

Criteria Justification
Rank %
a. Legal Compliance and Risk to Health, Safety and Environment
The Longfellow School sees heavy use from the school for a broad range of children and age. The current equipment and
layout of the space even with recent interventions is still insufficient to meet the needs of the school and the
community. The playground cannot reliably or safely support the needs of the school, afterschool programs, or local
residents. Replacement of the outdated equipment and enhancing the playground to better utilize the space and
provide a broader use of play and engagement will provide more access for children and ensure continued access to a
high-quality, safe, and inclusive recreational space for the community.
b. Asset Condition and Level of Service
At almost 20+ years old for the play equipment, Longfellow School Playground equipment has outlived its expected
lifespan. The playground has ADA issues and several areas are non accessible for children of all ages and abilities. The
existing playground is dramatically underperforming from a safety, access and user experience standpoint. New
equipment has been purchased through a Co-op and site improvements are needed to be completed for this equipment
to be installed.
c. Equitable Community Investment
Longfellow School Playground serves the school and community including the surrounding neighborhoods of Deering
Center and bordering Rosemont and Riverton neighborhoods.
d. Sustainability and Climate Action
The proposed playground improvement project will create a climate-resilient public playground that enhances
community space while protecting the surrounding environment. This will be done through improvements to the
stormwater management which will reduce significant erosion and runoff concerns and negative impacts to the Capisic
Brook watershed.
e. Local Funding Optimization
Partial CIP funding already exists for this project. This additional request is for supplemental funding to close the
funding gap.
f. Project Readiness
The Parks Division is prepared to execute a contract with the designer and has a Parks Project Manager assigned and
ready to manage this project from design through construction.
g. Department Priority
This is priorty project 1 out of 20 for the PRF Department. Due to exceedingly high bids in the past, the project had to be

Project Description
At this time, our 62+ Senior Program does not have a designated place to meet within a City building. When a program is
planned that needs a community center gathering area, the group must tavel to the City of South Portland to use their
community center. This project would convert the currently unused space at 212 Canco Rd that is connected to the
Recreation offices, into a small gathering space for the Seniors program to meet. Improvements would consist of a small
meeting space for activities as well as a kitchenette. The Public Buildings division would be giving guidance along the way
as to what work can and should be done. Cost estimate was provided by Public Buildings based on discussions of our
wants and needs.
Project Justification
212 Canco has a large open space on the first floor in Suite A. This space is used for back up meeting space, 62+
programming and additional training space for staff. This project would allow PRF to develop a space that is more

ClassificationParks, Fields, Trails Strategic Priority Asset/Infrastructure Preservation
Project Description
Removal and replacement of fencing throughout the city’s parks and trails network.
Project Justification
The city has a significant amount of deteriorating fencing infrastructure which poses a safety hazard at many of our parks
and trails. Whether it be from vandalism, accidents, or age, the operating maintenance budget cannot keep up with the
replacement demand. Fencing serves many important purposes, primarily centered around safety, security, and
organization. While the primary function is protection, the type and design of fencing used can also impact the park’s
aesthetic appeal and how open or welcoming it feels in the community. Defining boundaries, crowd control, asset
protection, easy closures, and mitigating liability are all considered when prioritizing fencing throughout the city. The
department has identified the following priority projects for replacement: Back Cove Trail, Nason’s Corner Park, Fitzpatrick
Stadium, Riverside Recycling, North Deering Park.

Fencing Replacement: Various locations 4
Criteria Justification
Rank %
a. Legal Compliance and Risk to Health, Safety and Environment
Fencing in parks, athletic fields, and trails is necessary to establish clear boundaries, prevent unauthorized access to
dangerous areas, or manage pedestrian traffic away from hazards. Fencing can be required to mark the definitive
boundary between park land and adjacent private property or public right-of-ways, thereby preventing encroachment
and maintaining compliance with local zoning and setback requirements. Deferring these projects by one or more years
introduces escalating risks and costs. Many of these projects have already been delayed for several years because of
cost. This delay has increased the overall expense by tens of thousands of dollars as seen recently with the updated
estimates on postponed projects from the past.
b. Asset Condition and Level of Service
The asset is the existing perimeter and internal fencing within the specified parks, athletic facilities, playgrounds, and
trail systems throughout the city. In all cases, the asset is in poor to failing condition due to the age and deferred
comprehensive maintenance or replacement. The expected lifespan varies by location and material, but in general, 30-
50 years for chain link and 10-20 years for wood split rail. In all cases, the condition is beyond the repair phase and
replacement is the only viable option.
c. Equitable Community Investment
The proposed park fencing project advances equitable community investment by directly addressing safety, accessibility,
and quality-of-life needs in areas that may have historically been underserved or utilized disproportionately by
vulnerable populations. It can benefit traditionally underserved populations, including persons with disabilities, children,
and low income residents by improving safety and accessibility. Parks in densely populated, low-income neighborhoods
often have higher use rates among families without private yards. A secure, intact perimeter fence can be essential for
the safety and independence of park users with certain disabilities (e.g., visual impairments or cognitive disabilities). The
presence of new, safe fencing is expected to increase park utilization by these populations, as parents and caregivers will
feel more comfortable utilizing the park, thereby increasing the utility of the public asset for those who need it most.
d. Sustainability and Climate Action
The proposed fencing replacement project advances the “One Climate Future” goals primarily through mitigation
related to material use and waste reduction. Waste reduction and recycling of the old fencing materials will help to
achieve this. Investing in fencing with a significantly longer expected useful life (e.g., high-quality galvanized chain link or
powder-coated aluminum) reduces the frequency of replacement cycles. This, in turn, saves the energy and fuel
required for future maintenance, manufacturing, and installation over the long term.
e. Local Funding Optimization
No additional funding has or will be secured for this project.
f. Project Readiness
In all cases, these identified fencing projects are ready as soon as contractors can be secured, the weather cooperates,
and schedules allow. It is reasonable to expect these projects can be completed within two years.
g. Department Priority
This project is ranked as PRF Department priority 4 out of 20 because it will improve parks in underserved areas, help
ensure safety and vandalism issues are minimized, and support safety barriers on our alternative transportation bike

Project Description
Removal and replacement of the rubber track surfacing and surrounding track fencing only.
Project Justification
Fitzpatrick Stadium Track is the City of Portland’s one and only track. With that comes the importance to maintain the
track as a top notch facility for the many user groups utilizing it, including the entire Portland school system programs.
Rubber track surfaces typically last somewhere in the 7-10yr range. Fitzpatrick Stadium just completed its 10th season
with this track surface and with some prior stormwater drainage issues in the complex, the life span of this track is
overdue. Stormwater had previously been unmanaged until the facility improvements were done in the Fall of 2024 and
Spring of 2026 where water no longer flows onto the track and expands the delamination process of the rubber that has
already occurred. Pictures of this delamination show the severity of the current condition of the track and how vulnerable
it is to a massive failure of the surface or base. Additionally, there are many cracks showing throughout the rubber surface
that will continue to expand due to the freeze thaw cycles we are prone to in Maine.
The fencing is a facility asset that bears significant impacts from user groups and equipment or vehicles. Many sections are
in poor condition and need to be replaced with a more robust fencing system to withstand the increased usage at the
facility. This work will need to integrate in with the track replacement as the two projects are adjacent to each other.

a. Legal Compliance and Risk to Health, Safety and Environment
Fitzpatrick Stadium Track is home to the Portland School system track programs as well as the only publicly accessible
track to residents. It sees 10’s of thousands of users each year of varying degrees of skill level and ages. As the track
deteriorates under the pressure of the New England Climate, the track surface will show more and more defects which
will increase the risk of the base pavement being exposed and inevitably breaking down. If the base pavement is
impacted, the cost of the project will drastically increase. Additionally, this project, once funded, can not be carried out
until over a year later due to the schedules of the user groups within the facility and needing to identify an open window
for construction that does not impact those groups and leagues using the facility. This delay means that there will be
another 2 years of Spring track and heavy use to be performed on a surface that has already reached its life expectancy.
As far as the fence, there are some sections that are beyond repair due to compromised fence posts. The greater impact
of new users has also put an emphasis on safety related issues as it relates to the existing chain link mesh surrounding
the track and field where thousands of spectators stand and engage on a weekly basis. Deferring either of these projects
is not advisable with the increased foot traffic and wear and tear being placed on the track surface and fencing from
new, heavy impact tenants above our normal user groups.
b. Asset Condition and Level of Service
The Fitzpatrick Stadium Track is an asphalt base track system with a standard rubberized performance track surface. This
track has reached its life expectancy (10 years old +/-) and has seen some excessive stormwater complications that have
deteriorated the surface faster than anticipated. The current rubber surface is failing in some locations and in poor
condition in others. Staff have contracted with a company to make repairs to exposed cold weather cracking in an
attempt to extend the life of the asset. As previously indicated, this track is the only publicly accessible track in the city
and many groups, including the schools, rely heavily on its usability and condition. Failing to rehabilitate this asset will
result in detrimental school program impacts as the surface will not be safe to recreate and compete on. Similarly, the
community groups will be presented with some adversity in finding replacement space. This rehabilitation to the
stadium will drastically improve maintenance operations as well as create a safe and usable facility for years to come.
c. Equitable Community Investment
Fitzpatrick Stadium Track is the only publicly accessible track in the city and therefore accommodates the community in
and around Portland. The School Department being the biggest user of this track facility is a clear example of the
populations this will serve. There are hundreds of grade school aged students who practice and perform at this facility as
well as the general public who are allowed to come use it every day.
d. Sustainability and Climate Action
This rubberized track surface allows citizens of Portland to have a stable and consistent place to recreate outside. One
Climate Future recognizes the importance of physical and mental health in section CR 2.5 Neighborhood Resources as a
main goal to strengthen marginalized communities.
e. Local Funding Optimization
This project does not have any non-municipal funding incorporated into it.
Replacing an older asset (in poor condition with high operating/maintenance costs) with a new asset would be expected
to reduce operating costs. Similarly, failing to replace the asset would be expected to lead to higher operating costs in
subsequent operating budget years. Not reconstructing the asset could also compromise the safety and performance of
using the asset should any further catastrophic failures occur.
f. Project Readiness
This project does not require any design or engineering work before executing it. A standard bid document would need
to be issued and the project could be executed. But, as noted above, the timing of this project would need to be within a
gap that is identified after the Spring 2027 season so as not to impact the heavy use times of the year. In order for this
project to be executed in 2027, we will need the funding in 2026 or else it gets pushed back another year until funding is
allocated.
While this project does surpass the $500,000 guideline for a Project Management Plan, it is quite straight forward and
would not benefit significantly from a plan.
g. Department Priority
This project is ranked as PRF Department priority 7 out of 20 because it will replace an existing asset that is heavily used
by middle and high school students, along with the general public. It is well past its useful life span, and user safety is an
increasing concern as the track ages.

ClassificationParks, Fields, Trails Strategic Priority System Expansion
Project Description
The City of Portland in partnership with the Portland Parks Conservancy is working to continue the development of a new
public greenspace along Portland’s Eastern Waterfront from the former queuing lanes at Ocean Gateway to Fore Points
Marina.
The design process for Phase 2 seeks to expand on the extent of Phase 1 and advance a Resilience and Conceptual Master
Plan for Portland Harbor Common, a new public waterfront park envisioned as a vibrant, inclusive, and ecologically
resilient landscape along the working harbor.
Project Justification
Portland Harbor Common Phase 2 will transform an underutilized mix of temporary parking areas, drive lanes, and park
space—installed in 2020 as an interim measure—into a vibrant, well-designed public realm that enhances Portland’s
downtown waterfront. The project will resolve longstanding pedestrian and vehicular circulation challenges, strengthen
connections between downtown and the harbor, and create a more accessible, welcoming, and engaging public space.
This investment directly supports City of Portland goals for climate-resilient, people-centered streets and improved
downtown vitality, advancing the vision for a cohesive, high-quality waterfront destination.

Portland Harbor Common Phase II 8
Criteria Justification
Rank %
a. Legal Compliance and Risk to Health, Safety and Environment
The proposed project addresses key regulatory requirements related to pedestrian safety, accessibility, traffic
circulations in a high-use public space adjacent to the waterfront and improved stormwater management. By replacing
the temporary 2020 configuration with a permanent design that meets ADA standards, clarifies vehicle movements, and
incorporates modern green-infrastructure practices, the project reduces clear risks to public health, safety, and
enhances the environment—particularly conflicts between vehicles and pedestrians, inadequate drainage, and a clear
engagement with Casco Bay for residents and tourists can be established. Deferring the project for one more year could
increase these risks as circulation challenges intensify with rising visitation and development pressures along the
waterfront, ultimately resulting in higher maintenance costs and more complex future interventions.
b. Asset Condition and Level of Service
While the current asset is in generally good physical condition, it does not meet the long-term level of service expected
for a high-use downtown public space. Its temporary layout limits pedestrian circulation, lacks cohesive design elements,
and does not adequately support the growing demand for safe, accessible, and connected waterfront amenities.
Replacing the interim configuration with a permanent, fully designed park is necessary to maintain and improve the
operational level of service by providing clear circulation patterns, enhancing multimodal connectivity between the
Eastern Promenade and the downtown core, and expanding high-quality public space along the waterfront. This
investment ensures the area can function as a durable, well-integrated segment of the city’s open space network while
meeting the community’s expectations for safety, accessibility, and long-term usability.
c. Equitable Community Investment
The project advances equitable community investment by transforming a centrally located, highly visible waterfront
area into a public space that is accessible, welcoming, and functional for all residents and visitors. By replacing the
temporary configuration with a permanent design that improves ADA access, enhances pedestrian safety, and provides
inclusive gathering spaces, the project ensures that people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds can comfortably use
and enjoy the waterfront.
d. Sustainability and Climate Action
The project directly advances key recommendations of the City of Portland’s One Climate Future plan by integrating
both climate-mitigation and climate-adaptation strategies into the design of Portland Harbor Common. From a
mitigation standpoint, the project supports reduced carbon emissions by creating a more walkable, connected public
space that encourages residents and visitors to travel without driving, linking downtown more safely and intuitively to
the Eastern Promenade and waterfront trail network. Energy- and resource-efficient materials, waste-reduction
strategies, and low-maintenance landscape systems further contribute to long-term emissions reductions. On the
adaptation side, the project strengthens Portland’s resilience to sea-level rise and storm surge by incorporating a
stabilized, climate-ready shoreline, improved drainage, and green-infrastructure elements that help absorb, slow, and
manage stormwater. These features not only protect nearby infrastructure but also create a safe, durable, and engaging
waterfront experience that allows park users to connect with the harbor while enhancing the city’s ability to withstand
more frequent and intense coastal storm events.
e. Local Funding Optimization
The Parks, Recreation and Facilities Department along with the Portland Parks Conservancy have engaged in a variety of
conversations with key stakeholder groups including developers and state and federal agencies to review potential cost
implications and funding opportunities to help ensure the park is able to be constructed and maintained.
f. Project Readiness
The Parks Division is prepared to assign this project to a Parks Project Manager to write and issue a Request for Bids and
to manage this project from design through construction.
g. Department Priority
This project is ranked as PRF Department priority 8 out of 20 because it will leverage significant federal and
philanthropic funds. This project will be primarily funded through a combination of federal grants, Congressional
Designated Funding, and philanthropic funds raised by the Portland Parks Conservancy and The Trust for Public Land.
These design funds will result in initial design and diagrams that will allow for Grant applications and philanthropic funds
to be raised, therefore leveraging the limited city funding to result in millions of dollars of federal and philanthropic
funds. The resulting park will be a world-class public gathering space on our waterfront for all Portlanders.

Project Justification
Each year our playgrounds team is faced with significant playground equipment failures. With 30 playgrounds citywide
and thousands of kids using them each day, this is expected to a degree. Each playground slide could cost in the ballpark
of $2,000 - $5,000 depending on the manufacturer and style. As we replace two or more broken slides each year, the new
mechanical equipment on pieces such as the zip cruiser in Deering Oaks or even the swivel couplings for the half dozen
disc swings citywide, we are well into the double digit thousands of dollars. Recently we have had cars destroy $50,000
worth of equipment or have had a hard to find tube section set on fire of which all were funded for replacement but only
after a period of time. This request would allow staff the opportunity to immediately look to replace the necessary

Playground Equipment Replacement: Various Locations 10
Criteria Justification
Rank %
a. Legal Compliance and Risk to Health, Safety and Environment
Playgrounds across the City see tens of thousands of users each year and with that use comes wear and tear.
Playgrounds are supposed to last upwards of 20 years but not all elements of those playgrounds can make it that long
and oftentimes misuse of equipment leads to breakage or unsafe elements. These elements are typically some of the
more desired pieces and require a swift response in removal and replacement. Growing costs for playground equipment
and perpetual replacement needs outside of a given CIP project have put undue pressure on operating budgets which is
where the need for this allocation comes into play. Slides can range between $3,000-$10,000 depending on the brand
and size. Annually, we are replacing 2 or more slides as well as other major elements.
b. Asset Condition and Level of Service
Playgrounds are not always built to last and with more and more plastic elements incorporated and harder play from
the younger generation, they are prone to breaking or wearing to a point of failure. Our team does a wonderful job
keeping many slides operational by plastic welding cracks that form or replacing failing hardware but that will only go on
for so long before full replacement is needed and injuries are prevented. Playground inspections happen monthly in
certain locations and more frequently in others depending on the use they get. The inspections vary from just a visual to
a full annual report inspection. There is rarely an issue not caught by these inspections and a mitigation plan generated
but those plans could be as drastic as shutting an element down entirely until we have the funding to replace it.
c. Equitable Community Investment
This allocation is not specific to a particular district or neighborhood but instead focused on emergency repair needs
that come up annually. The goal is to maintain safety and usability within our playgrounds so that all neighborhoods can
utilize their play spaces equally.
d. Sustainability and Climate Action
This project will allow staff to quickly and effectively replace unsafe or unusable pieces of play equipment which
maintains the access to neighborhood families and kids. With elements removed or closed off for extended periods of
time, it entices folks to want to travel to other playgrounds to meet their needs. Those replacement playgrounds are not
always within close walking and would mean vehicular travel.
Playgrounds often constitute water features as well of which many fixes are needed each year. Having these water
features available to the public in dense urban environments is essential to mitigating the heat island effect for families
during the hot summer months.
e. Local Funding Optimization
No additional funding has or will be secured for this project.
f. Project Readiness
These repairs are not typically prepared for but the process in which we make the repairs is devised and executed
quickly as each issue arises.
g. Department Priority

ClassificationEquipment Strategic Priority Asset/Infrastructure Preservation
Project Description
East End Community School Playground does not meet safety or accessibility standards and the play equipment has out-
lived its expected lifespan. PRF proposes to replace the existing play equipment with a playground designed to meet
current play safety and ADA accessibility standards. This funding request would allow PRF to hire a consultant team to
perform the necessary site analysis, design, construction documentation, permitting and construction administration
services to replace the playground. The selected consultant team would also support community engagement and
fundraising efforts through the facilitation of meetings and production of illustrative graphics to help communicate design
options and the playground’s final design.
Project Justification
The majority of the play equipment at East End School were installed prior to 2009 into a park setting that was not
designed for accessibility or for playground safety. The existing playground does not provide an ADA accessible route
through all of the play zones. The retaining wall behind the swings is out of code for height restrictions. A lack of barriers
between the playground and ball field make it difficult to keep small children safe during school hours. The swing play
equipment lacks accessible connections. Additionally, in municipal settings, playground equipment is expected to last
between 15-20 years. In high-use and coastal areas (both of which apply at East End School Playground) , the equipment
deteriorates at a faster rate, requiring more frequent repairs and replacements. By FY 27, the play equipment at East End
School Playground will be approximately 17 years old and will have sustained numerous repairs and replacement by City
playground technicians. At its current condition, the equipment requires such frequent repairs and touch-ups that it is no
longer practical to maintain it without beginning to replace larger portions of the playground.

Criteria Justification
Rank %
a. Legal Compliance and Risk to Health, Safety and Environment
East End Community School Playground serves elementary school students, afterschool programs, and the surrounding
neighborhood as a highly active community play space. Located at the end of the Eastern Promenade with views of
Casco Bay and bordered by multi-family residential housing, the playground includes a post-and-platform structure, net
climber, swings, and several rock and wood climbing elements.
The existing play equipment has exceeded its life expectancy and is now in need of full replacement. The poured-in-
place rubber safety surfacing is deteriorating—with holes, crumbling areas, and uneven transitions—creating tripping
hazards and increasing risk for users. These conditions, along with overall wear on the equipment, show significant and
worsening disrepair.
The playground supports substantial daily use: East End Community School enrolls 386 students in grades K–5; the City’s
afterschool program serves 35 students; and Learning Works also utilizes the site for afterschool activities. City
playground technicians are required to perform frequent repairs, many of which now exceed feasible maintenance
capacity and are no longer cost-effective.
In its current condition, the playground cannot reliably or safely support the needs of the school, afterschool programs,
or local residents. Full replacement of the equipment and safety surfacing is essential to ensure continued access to a
high-quality, safe, and inclusive recreational space for the community.
b. Asset Condition and Level of Service
At 16+ years old, East End School Playground equipment has outlived its expected lifespan. The playground has ADA
issues and several areas are non accessible for children of all ages and abilities. The existing playground is dramatically

Western Prom Valley Street Trail & Stone Retaining Wall Repair/Rebuild Phase II 13
Criteria Justification
Rank %
a. Legal Compliance and Risk to Health, Safety and Environment
The current state of the Valley Street wall represents a clear risk to public safety, every year that funding for this project
is delayed the damage and risk of structural collapse grows. Incidental trip hazards appear at numerous points along
the 500’ length of the wall where the stone facade continues to fall out of the wall itself. The larger concern however,
lies in the danger to the structural integrity of the wall itself. The deteriorating condition of the mortar allows for water
to inundate the structure of the wall, colder temperatures then turn that water into ice and create an internal pressure,
endangering the integrity of that structure, threatening the stability of the tremendous hillside behind it.
Resurfacing and installing drainage into the trail running from Gilman to Valley Street would greatly reduce the amount
of sediment washout that occurs over the existing granite stairs at the base of the trail, thereby eliminating trip and slip
hazards for pedestrians utilizing the trail.
b. Asset Condition and Level of Service
The condition of the wall, as displayed in the accompanying photographs, is poor. As noted above, there exists a
multitude of locations in which the stone facade is crumbling and its missing pieces lay strewn about the abutting
sidewalk. The existing retaining wall is nearly a century old, having been constructed in the 1930s by the Civilian

Lincoln Park Fence - Federal Street (Phase I) 14
Criteria Justification
Rank %
a. Legal Compliance and Risk to Health, Safety and Environment
Lincoln Park is the City’s showcase gathering space. It provides a central location for Portland’s many thousands of
residents and visitors, an easily accessible green space on Congress Street in the heart of the City to come together,
celebrate, and mingle. The space plays host to a multitude of events every year, ranging from holiday light displays and
honorific opportunities.
This park has been the recipient of a great deal of action and funding towards its ultimate restoration, stalling that effort
now by putting off funding this next phase would hurt that effort and endanger its ultimate completion as much of the
work is specialized and has few artisans with the necessary skill sets and equipment to perform the work. Any delays
would risk their future availability.
b. Asset Condition and Level of Service
Poor, the fence along the Federal Street side of Lincoln Park is in a state of severe disrepair. Much of the original paint is
peeling off exposing the rusting iron beneath, it has a multitude of broken granite bases and some of the massive
granite posts have shifted from their original positions over the decades. As mentioned earlier, this is the third leg of
the fence slated for restoration and repair, the Congress Street and Pearl Street portion having been finished in the
previous years. Failing to continue this project midstream would amount to a stain on the city’s public image and
establish an ever present black mark.
c. Equitable Community Investment
Lincoln Park is a gathering place for all of the City’s residents. The park itself is a monument to the resilience of Portland
in the face of an everchanging landscape of adversity. First designed and built after the great fire, it was originally
named Phoenix Square, symbolizing the rebirth of a city decimated by flame and an all at once statement that this city
will not go gently into that good night. Only later in 1867, was it renamed Lincoln Park, in honor of President Lincoln.
d. Sustainability and Climate Action
N/A
e. Local Funding Optimization
The overall project to restore and revitalize Lincoln Park, including two prior sections of fencing along Congress and
Pearl St have been the recipients of more than $260,000 in non-City funding. Efforts will continue to be made to solicit
additional grant funding and private donation through the efforts of the Friends of Lincoln Park. It is likely that
additional funding will be secured as the project continues.
f. Project Readiness
This portion of the project is largely a continuation of the prior efforts, being the third of four sides of this park, and two
having already been completed. What surveying and design needs to be completed is that that is specific to the
characteristics of the Federal Street Fence, and not the project concept itself. That being said, the requested funding is
the first of two phases intended to result in the complete restoration of the entire Federal Street Fence. This first phase
will fund what design and surveying is required to complete the whole project, staging and preparation of necessary
materials, and the ultimate restoration of a portion of the fence between the gate and Franklin Street. The remaining
sections are intended to be restored with a subsequent CIP request after phase 1 is underway.
g. Department Priority
This project is ranked as PRF Department priority 14 out of 20 so that we can continue the final phase of restoring the
historic Lincoln Park fence. Prior phases have been funded through CIP and philanthropy from the Friends of Lincoln
Park.

Deering Oaks Lighting Improvements 16
Parks Recreation and Facilities
Division Athletic Facilities
ClassificationEquipment Strategic Priority Asset/Infrastructure Preservation
Project Description
Removal of inefficient incandescent light fixtures at the Volleyball, Basketball and Baseball Facilities and replace them with
high efficiency LED fixtures on a remote controlled lighting system with other athletic facility lights that have been
upgraded. Additionally, this funding will support the investigation and replacement of aging pedestrian level lighting
infrastructure throughout the park. Over the last 5-10 years there have significant lighting issues surrounding the
pedestrian lights within the park. CMP and City Departments have spent countless hours fixing and troubleshooting these
issues sometimes to no avail. There has even been underground fires from the direct buried wire throughout the park.
Project Justification
Funding for the Deering Oaks Lighting Improvements project is justified for three key reasons. First, the project directly
addresses significant public safety risks posed by aging infrastructure, including darker field areas on the baseball field that
create a "risk for injury when fielding a ball," and "perpetual issues" with the pedestrian lighting that have led to past
incidents of "underground fires." Second, replacing old, inefficient incandescent and halogen fixtures with a modern,
remote-controlled LED system will drastically improve the level of service by reducing "regular outages" and manual
resetting requirements, thereby extending hours of use and reducing the loss of play time for community groups. And
lastly, the transition to high-efficiency LED fixtures will lead to a direct and quantifiable benefit of an operating budget
decrease of $5,000 annually, aligning with the City’s One Climate Future plan by reducing carbon emissions and avoiding
"continued high electrical bills and repair bills."

Deering Oaks Lighting Improvements 16
Criteria Justification
Rank %
a. Legal Compliance and Risk to Health, Safety and Environment
Deering Oaks has a number of lit facilities due to the heavy use of the park and variety of amenities it holds. The existing
lights on the Volleyball Court, Basketball Court and Baseball Field are old halogen fixtures with older electrical feeds and
connections. Upgrading these lights to our modern LED system will reduce the energy consumption used but also
provide a much brighter recreation facility for the public to use. The baseball field, for instance, has annually had a
handful of bulbs out which has led to darker areas of the field and risk for injury when fielding a ball. There have been a
few calls over the last couple years regarding that. Additionally, the current lighting system is manually adjusted only
and with any power outages it requires resetting and staff to come in after hours to make those adjustments or
community groups to cancel their evening events.
The pedestrian lighting throughout the park is also an outstanding and perpetual issue as it relates to the direct buried
cable and aging infrastructure. This allocation will allow us to address those issues and make repairs to decrease future
outages and unsafely lit areas of the park.
Deferring this project will result in continued high electrical bills and repair bills.
b. Asset Condition and Level of Service
The baseball field lighting consists of wooden posts with very old incandescent light fixtures and bulbs that are
challenging to find these days. While the poles are in good shape, the fixtures and wiring are in need of replacement to
reduce outages and loss of play time for community groups.
A similar thing is said about the basketball/volleyball lights except these poles are metal. The fixtures have regular
outages and the timer system needs adjusting quite frequently to account for power outages, daylight savings, etc.
Having improved foot candles in each of these facilities, a remote timing system and upgraded fixtures that require less
frequent maintenance will drastically improve the experience for our users and the maintenance time it takes our staff
to keep up with them.
c. Equitable Community Investment
Replacing the old stadium and pedestrian lights at Deering Oaks with new, high-efficiency LED lights advances the goal
of Equitable Community Investment by directly benefiting underserved populations and promoting a more fair and just
distribution of resources in the Portland community.
The existing lighting system's frequent outages, darker field areas, and need for manual resetting occasionally lead to
canceled evening events and reduced hours of use for the basketball, volleyball, and baseball facilities. By providing
reliable, brighter illumination and a remote-controlled system, the project effectively extends the hours these public
facilities are available. This increased accessibility is crucial for individuals who may work non-traditional hours or
multiple jobs, who often belong to traditionally underserved populations (including Black, Latino, Indigenous, and other
persons of color), allowing them a greater opportunity to participate in healthy, organized, and casual evening
recreation.
The project directly addresses the "risk for injury when fielding a ball" due to "darker areas of the field" and perpetual
issues with aging pedestrian lighting. Improving lighting levels throughout the park and on the athletic facilities increases
public safety and comfort. This is especially beneficial to vulnerable users, such as women, the elderly, and persons with
disabilities, making the entire park more welcoming and less risky for use after sundown.
As a project serving the entire city, investing in high-quality, reliable, and energy-efficient infrastructure at a central, free-
to-access public park like Deering Oaks ensures a fairer distribution of municipal resources. Providing modern, high-
performing facilities demonstrates a commitment to equity for all residents, particularly those who rely on public
recreational spaces over private options. The maintenance-reducing features of the LED system also free up Parks
Division staff time, allowing them to focus on other community needs across the city.
The project location is in Census Tract 13. While a city-wide asset, providing reliable public infrastructure here—a key
gathering point for diverse community groups and athletes—positively impacts the entire region and ensures that a high
standard of service is maintained in a central, accessible location.
d. Sustainability and Climate Action
Mitigations - Reducing Carbon Emissions by Conserving Energy
The core of this project directly advances the Mitigations goals of the City’s climate action plan, One Climate Future, by
prioritizing energy conservation and carbon emission reduction. The project involves the Removal of inefficient
incandescent light fixtures at the athletic facilities and replacing them with high-efficiency LED fixtures. This transition
Page 155
Project Title ID 257873 Dept Ranking
Deering Oaks Lighting Improvements 16
will dramatically reduce the energy required to illuminate the courts and fields, leading to:
Reduced Carbon Emissions: By conserving energy, the project directly lowers the city's operational carbon footprint
associated with the park's electricity consumption.
Lower Operating Costs: The energy efficiency is projected to result in an Operating Budget Decrease of $5,000, as noted
in Part II, which is a direct, quantifiable benefit of reduced energy consumption. Deferring this project would result in
"continued high electrical bills."
Adaptations - Preparing Public Infrastructure
The project also contributes to a more resilient and adapted public infrastructure. The investigation and replacement of
the aging pedestrian level lighting infrastructure throughout the park addresses "perpetual issues" related to faulty
electrical feeds and direct buried wire, including past incidents of "underground fires." By replacing and modernizing this
critical utility infrastructure, the city is:
Increasing Infrastructure Resilience: The new, reliable system prepares a key public asset for greater resilience, ensuring
essential lighting services are maintained with less risk of failure.
Reducing Resource-Intensive Maintenance: The remote-controlled, high-efficiency system reduces the need for staff to
perform "countless hours fixing and troubleshooting these issues," which conserves City staff resources and allows them
to focus on other community needs across the city, strengthening the City’s capacity to perform its duties sustainably.
e. Local Funding Optimization
This project does not have any non-municipal funding incorporated into it.
Replacing an older asset (in poor condition with high operating/maintenance costs) with a new asset would be expected
to reduce operating costs. Similarly, failing to replace the asset would be expected to lead to higher operating costs in
subsequent operating budget years. Not upgrading the asset could also compromise the safety and performance of the
facilities in which the lights illuminate.
f. Project Readiness
Lighting upgrades like this would be done swiftly by using a cooperative purchasing agreement we have with a lighting
manufacturer and supplier who also aligns with our remote scheduling software. The basketball court, volleyball court
and baseball field would all be done within the year depending on how quickly the manufacturer could produce the
fixtures and a contractor could install them.
g. Department Priority
This project is ranked as PRF Department priority 16 out of 20 so that we can replace inefficient lighting fixtures
throughout our athletic facilities in Deering Oaks Park. These facilities serve a wide variety of users of all ages and
socioeconomic backgrounds. The aging lighting system needs costly annual repairs, and a modern replacement will
result in significant energy savings which supports City sustainability goals.

Project Description
Currently, there’s significant pavement cracking at various basketball and tennis courts throughout Portland. This funding
would be used to treat pavement cracking at the basketball courts at Reiche Community School, Pleasant Street Park, and
McIntyre Park as well as the tennis courts at Deering High School. The tennis courts at Deering High School and basketball
courts at Pleasant Street Park and McIntyre Park would receive structural crack repair and a layer of sealcoating. Whereas,
the basketball court at Reiche Community School has significant heaving which would require pavement work to resurface
and sealcoat the court. Overall the identified courts serve Portland’s largest high school, one of their community schools,
and two public parks on the peninsula.
Project Justification
This funding would allow us to keep up with minor treatments to major repairs to our courts that will not need a full
resurfacing for a number of years. Various issues arise after each winter such as:
Crack development due to freeze/thaw environments
Crack development located in the middle of game areas and game lines
Crack development due to heaving from nearby tree roots
Sealing, resurfacing in one case, and repainting will add another 10-15 years of life to the asphalt courts and present a safe
surface for all ages to come together and play. The Parks Department proposes to fix any pavement cracking and then
sealcoat the asphalt courts to slow the process of court deterioration. The cost estimate was provided by Maine Track and
Tennis.

Project Description
The basketball and tennis courts at Deering Oaks serve Portland High school students, Portland pickleball and tennis
leagues, and are recreationally used by sports clinics and camps over the course of the year. The courts serve an age range
from residents learning to play tennis to competitive pickleball and tennis players. The current conditions of the tennis and
basketball courts include various pavement cracks along game lines and right through the middle of game areas.
Additionally, there are several gate entries that need to be reset and tightened.
Project Justification
Addressing and remediating the pavement cracks now would prevent potential tripping hazards and deeper structural
cracking to occur in the future. Since Deering Oaks is one of our biggest Parks, it’s vital that the space is safe and inclusive
for everyone.
Improvements would consist of milling out pavement cracks and providing a new asphalt overlay with fresh sealcoating.
The longer the court cracks go unchecked, the more unsafe and expensive the court will become to remediate. The cost

Removal and replacement of existing fence surrounding George Street Cemetery and Signage.
Project Justification
The City is currently the listed owner of 14 inactive ancient burial grounds. Those span in sizes from a single marked grave
to thousands, and all in various states of repair. Beyond the legal duties the city owes to the long departed, these quiet
places should be a testament to the values of the City. The Cemeteries Department does its best to maintain their
grounds, but many need more than maintenance. Specifically many are in need of fencing repairs/restorations and signs
detailing their histories, and the stories of those who lay resting there. This initial sum will not accomplish everything, but
it will serve as a beginning for the work of protecting these places so they are not forgotten.
George Street Cemetery is one of the older Cemeteries in Portland, believed to have been established by 1700. After
being ransacked and pillaged in at the end of the 1900s a small fence was built around the cemetery to forever mark it as a
place of peace and reverence. While surely the existing fence is not the original, it is in a disheartening state. The budget
of $30k would suffice to restore the dignity of the fence and provide for signage to illuminate this integral piece of
Portland’s history for decades to come.

transform a car-dominated, inaccessible area into a worldclass, comfortable, functional, and attractive public space in a
densely populated and diverse neighborhood in Portland. This phase is highly leveraged by private funding contributions
in the amount of $450,000 raised by Friends of Congress Square. Design Development was completed in 2018.
Construction Documents were completely funded and completed in FY22 CIP.
Project Justification
After an extensive community-driven process dating back to 2012, the primary goal of this project is to build on the Phase
A intersection reconstruction, currently under construction, to improve accessibility, circulation, and safety at Congress
Square. This key downtown location serves as a primary open space, gathering place, and event venue for residents in this
dense and diverse neighborhood and the city at large. The project will strengthen the identity and sense of place of
Congress Square, enhancing both usability and aesthetics.
The redesign is expected to provide economic development benefits by encouraging investment along Congress Street,
which is home to numerous small businesses and cultural institutions, including the Portland Museum of Art and the State
Theatre. During the pandemic, the park was heavily used for events such as readings, cultural programs, and family
activities like s’mores nights in partnership with local establishments, providing valuable public health, civic, and economic
benefits. Many of these activities continue today.
Congress Square serves all residents and visitors, with particular benefits for those living in nearby dense neighborhoods,
including approximately 780 new residential units—market rate, affordable, and senior—expected within half a mile over
the next five years. The improvements will support downtown businesses and cultural institutions and help address
concerns about vacancies along this corridor, which led to the city’s recent adoption of a new vacant storefront ordinance.
As a phased project planned over the past decade, there is significant momentum, including substantial private fundraising
by Friends of Congress Square, completion of Phase B construction drawings, and the complementary intersection
construction currently underway.

Police Department
Division Police Administration
ClassificationFacilities Strategic Priority Asset/Infrastructure Preservation
Project Description
PPD engaged with an architecture firm in 2024/2025 to do a feasability assessment of the exisiting PPD Headquarters at
109 Middle Street. After an extensive study, the recommendation of the firm to the City was that the police department is
at the end of its useful life. Remodeling or repairing the existing facility was determined to be impractical, and the
recommendation to the City was to consider building on a new site. PPD is so outdated that it would need a total
renovation including demolition down to the steel to meet current building codes required for public safety buildings. This
would also require relocation and does not address the needs of parking for 200-250 staff. Phase 2 of this project involves
acquiring the services or a firm to do a comprehensive, detailed space needs analysis with plans for future growth for the
next 75 years of PPD Headquarters. Phase 2 will also include a request to do a cost benefit analysis of three viable sites for
relocation to be presented to the City Council for final approval.
Project Justification
Port City Architecture conducted a detailed study, completed July 17,2025. The Portland Police Department Facility
Expansion versus Relocation Study final report has all of the results. This includes an analysis of three different options.
Scenario A was to renovate and build additions to the exisiting site, Option 2 was to relocate, and Option 3 was to defer
construction to the future. Option 3 was considered to the most expensive in the long term, and the challenges of
relocating the largest municipal police department in the State to another building has signifcant challenges and costs for
Option 1. This makes relocation the most economically vialble option. The final report was presented to City Council in a
workshop and the council approved taking the next step, which is this project.

Phase 2 - Detailed Space Needs Analysis and Site Selection for new Police Department 1
Headquarters.
Criteria Justification
Rank %
a. Legal Compliance and Risk to Health, Safety and Environment
There are many codes and statutes that have to abided by for a police facility. This includes CJIS requirements, life safety
codes, NFPA fire codes, building and electrical codes. Most of the systems in place at PPD are not in compliance with
current codes. Accoriding to Page 6 of Port City's study, the risk of deferring construction or "doing nothing" includes
the potential for catastrophic loss of the facility in a seismic or extreme climate change weather event, major
operational deficiencies, and potential legal and safety liabilities.
b. Asset Condition and Level of Service
Study has determined that PPD is at the end of useful life and is failing. The study contains detailed information on this.
The building does not meet building code as a Risk Category IV structure, electrical service to the building is out of code,
existing fire pump in mechanical room is out of code, domestic hot water supply is inadequate, and the standby
generator is undersized.
c. Equitable Community Investment
Current facility is undersized, mostly out of compliance with ADA, and has no public facing public space for community
use. A new building could potentially have a public accessible space for meeting rooms, sports fields, and other
possiblities.
d. Sustainability and Climate Action
The building is almost entirely uninsulated and has single pane, uninsulated windows. HVAC systems are out of date
and not sized correctly for the loads required. There is no efficiency with the 50+ year old systems. A new building built
to proper standards would use significantly less resources for heating and cooling.
e. Local Funding Optimization
PPD will seek out the assistance of Senator Collin's office for help with Congressionally Directed Spending to offset the
costs of a new facility. Senator Collins has a long track record of securing CDS funds for public safety projects throughout
the State, and has awarded PPD CDS funds in the past for a new Bomb team robot. The costs of deferring the project
are estimated to increase by 50% over the next 5 years according to the Port City Report (Page 6).
f. Project Readiness
This project can begin as soon as approved. There is a draft Project Management Plan with Asst. City Manager Jordan.

Fire Station Alerting System (FSA) 1
Police Department
Division Police Administration
ClassificationEquipment Strategic Priority System Expansion
Project Description
For many years the fire department members of the PRCC (Portland, South Portland, and Cape Elizabeth) have struggled
with older, legacy equipment to notify firefighters when there is an emergency call for service.
This FSA would be a regional project and all costs shared by the three municipalites the PRCC serves.
Project Justification
The cities of Portland and South Portland upgraded their emergency communications network in 2017 to a robust,
redundant, and reliable 7/800Mhz P25 Digital radio network. Station alerting for the fire departments was not included in
he project at the time.
Up to this point, the fire station alerting system has been "home grown" and maintained using older, legacy equipment
and technology that is unreliable, costly to maintain, and partially meets the needs of the depaertments. With the
increased call volume, the necessity to get units out the door as quickly as possible it is necessary to replace the current
FSA infrastructure. The current system is outdated and highly unreliable, and have resulted in response delays or
emergency calls getting missed by a closer station because the station never received the call.
A new fire station alerting system will improve fire/EMS response times by leveraging the capabilities of the City's P25
voice-data network to alert multiple fire stations of single or multiple, separate emergency calls simultaneously. This
system will be capable to send vocal and visual notifications and alarms using the radio network's Internet Protocol (IP)
pathways that do not need to wait for a radio channel to be clear, allowing the dispatch of the call to be immediate.
Currently, the alerting system is radio based and causes delays in notifying multiple stations because of the time it takes
paging tones to go through, and are stacked. A new system allows for simultaneous notifications, within microseconds. We
continually experience system failures and the route cause is hard to determine as to whether the failure was related to
the technology, the network, or dispatcher error. This upgrade removes the extra steps to make the motifications and can
immediately advie the dispatcher whether or not the station received the alarm notification.

a. Legal Compliance and Risk to Health, Safety and Environment
The procurement and upgrade to a new, state of the art FSA removes many of the concerns related to old, legacy radio
notifications. Every second counts and reducing the time it takes to receive a call, dispatch units, and have resources on
scene or patient contact increase the chances for a positive outcome. This new system allows for immediate and
simultaneous station notifcation decreasing response time while the contiued use of the old, unreliable station alerting
adds seconds if not miutes to each call for service. We consistently fail to meet the standards set by the NFPA for call to
dispatch (under 60 seconds) and response time.
b. Asset Condition and Level of Service
The current process and equipment for sending notifications to the fire stations has long been outdated and costly to

Radio Network Fiber Service Level Change and Replacement/Upgrades at existing Radio Network 1
Sites
Police Department
Division Dispatch
ClassificationEquipment Strategic Priority Asset/Infrastructure Preservation
Project Description
Current fiber vendor is proposing changing service layer from a Layer 3 to a Level 2 network. The existing Motorola Radio
Network requires a Layer 3 network. In order to accomaodate this change due the carrier it will require upgrading
equipment at all radio system sites.
Included in this request is need equipment add-ons, upgrades, and replacement at two existing sites at Maine Medical in
Portland and tower site in Cape Elizabeth.
Project Justification
Failure to make upgrades in equipment related to the fiber network would require the PRCC to continue to pay high rates
for service and if the vendor decides to charge additional fees to maintain this fiber network for us when they have moved
away from the current level of service we could see significant increases on our monthly costs. This project was discussed
during FY26 and have continued to defer it when vendor inquires.
The other equipment at Maine Medical and Cape Elizabeth is for add-ons and equipment replacement with the
decommissioning of the radio site at Harbor Terrace in Portland. The site at Harbor Terrace had failed earlier in 2025 and
there was also a request to pay for ligting required by the FCC since our antennas breached the 200' threshold as
permitted by the FAA.

Project Description
Replace the 2 antiquated boilers with 3 smaller units
Project Justification
The current boilers that run both City Hall and Merrill are beyond their useful life. Replacement parts are discontinued

We presently have two boilers and would be moving to three.
The output of the boilers would be about the same. There would be savings on the input efficiency. (Less BTU usage).
Expect an annual savings of 10-15% in natural gas usage.
We will have to get a curbside boiler if one of the existing boilers fails. The cost for a curbside boiler is $8,500 a month
plus a $10,000 set up fee. This would have to be used for 18 months or so depending on if/when the boilers fail. This cost
would be just over $160,000 if the rental fee remains the same for that time period.
We expect a 6 month time frame for the replacement once we have the engineered drawings.

Project Description
We recommend replacing the chiller with a unit that includes "scroll" type compressors. These are significantly quieter
than a "screw" type. We have recently installed this type of chiller at the Public Library and Talbot School. They are
markedly quieter.
Project Justification
The chiller that was installed in 2018 is equipped with "screw" type compressors which emit a high pitched squealing
sound when ramping up and down. This has caused neighbors to complain of the high pitch noises from spring to early

Project Description
City match money for projects that are part of the MaineDOT or PACTS Municipal Partnership Iniative (MPI). The two
projects slated for construction in 2026 are High Street - Congress Square to Park Ave and Baxter Blvd - Dartmouth Street
to Preble St Ext. Other projects may be submitted at a later date.
Project Justification
Projects such as these where PACTS or MDOT pay a portion of the construction costs are some of the best ways to
leverage City funds and resources.
These roads are in poor condition and need pavement maintenance. High Street is currently ranked with a 45/100 PCI
value. In addition, many portions of the sidewalk are in poor condition. The project will replace areas of sidewalk and all
the ADA ramps within the project limits to meet Federal Requirements. This will improve pedestrian access and mobility.
In addition, esplanade and trees are proposed in areas to add more aesthetic appeal and provide shade/water absorption
which helps with climate change.
Baxter Blvd is currently ranked with a 51/100 PCI value. The rest of the road has been improved in previous years - this last
segment is the final section that needs rehabilitation to create a fully improved corridor. The bike lane on Baxter Blvd is
the portion of the road that is in the worst condition. This is a highly biked area due to its adjacency to Back Cove and
connections to bus routes.

Project Description
Signal additions and bicycle facilities associated with two way reversion
Preliminary Engineering for Two-Way Reversion: CY2026
Final Engineering for Two-Way Reversion: CY2027
Construction: CY2028-2029
Project Justification
Reversion of State and High Streets from the one-way pair that has been in existence from the early 1970's to today to
their original two-way flow has long been eyed to be converted back to two-way operation since the opening of Fore River
Parkway as a method of diverting through traffic to and from the Casco Bay Bridge.
The City previously conducted a feasibility study in 2015 that suggested a two-way conversion. Since then, the City has
retained consultant services to revisit the previous study with updated data, which shows lower volumes on the streets
since and that indeed a two-way reversion is feasible. DPW has shared this feasibility with the Sustainability &
Transportation Committee, as well as the City Council, which has endorsed the change and directed the City to pursue
next steps with MaineDOT, as it moves forward with a signal replacement project on State and High Streets.
The feasibility study and process outcomes have also resulted in a goal of achieving separated bicycle facilities along State
Street, in order to provide a connection from the Park Avenue separated bicycle facility and Forest Avenue to the Casco
Bay Bridge, the primary active transportation connection between South Portland/Cape Elizabeth to Portland.

State and High Two-Way Reversion 2
Criteria Justification
Rank %
a. Legal Compliance and Risk to Health, Safety and Environment
State and High Streets have a significant safety history, illustrating deficiences for several modes of travel. These streets
have, between them, five (5) high crash street segments and four (4) high crash intersections as of the end of 2023. In
addition, High Street is identified in the PACTS Vision Zero Plan as a Critical Safety Corridor and contains three (3) Critical
Safety intersections. At this time, there are no bicycle facilities available on these streets, which creates signicant
challenges to active transportation users crossing the peninsula.
b. Asset Condition and Level of Service
The project will supplement at MaineDOT traffic signal replacement project, which has traffic signals generally in poor
condition, as the structures along State and High are over 50 years old. Some wiring and connections are also beginning
to fail. The project will also construct new bicycle facilities, which currently do not exist.
c. Equitable Community Investment
This project is to be completed in a "Very High" equitable target area as determined for the PACTS Connect 2050
application. While the project passes through a number of Centus Tracts, all of them have a Low to Moderate Income
percentage of at least 70 percent, with some having a percentage of over 80 percent.
d. Sustainability and Climate Action
The reversion to two-way will reduce traffic recirculation associated with one-way pairs, allowing more direct routing to
destinations (for instance to Maine Med for traffic from South Portland/Cape Elizabeth), thus reducing VMT and
greenhouse gas emissions. Two two-way streets will increase the redundancy and resiliency of the street network in the
case of street maintenance and traffic/public safety incidents. Additional bicycle infrastructure will further enhance
carbon-free transportaiton options.
e. Local Funding Optimization
This project will work in tandem with a MaineDOT signal replacement project to maximize effective outcomes, improve
project coordination, and supplement an effort that DOT is primarily funding. Final costs have yet to be determined, but
it is likely that the majority of project funding will be from MaineDOT.
f. Project Readiness
The feasibility study has been completed, endorsed by the City Council, a signal project is now in MaineDOT's work plan,
and the design for the bicycle facilities will begin in January of 2026 following a public selection process in 2025.
g. Department Priority
This effort has been identfied as a City priorty for some time, and Council endorsement has fomalized this level of
support. DPW has placed a high level of priority to this project as the reversion should take place in association with
MaineDOT's signal replacement project for State and High Streets, which is already in MaineDOT's Work Plan.

ClassificationTransportation Strategic Priority Asset/Infrastructure Preservation
Project Description
Create a mini roundabout at the intersection of Fore Street, Center Street, Pleasant Street, and York Street. Water
Resources and Portland Water District must do underground work here to achieve water goals and as part of that project
the Engineering group would like to update the intersection configuration to make the area safer and more efficient.
Project Justification
Coordinating this work with the upcoming ongoing construction by the water district and water resources in the area
helps reduce costs and accelerate project completion. Undertaking all the work simultaneously also minimizes disruptions
to residents and businesses, as it will be executed as a cohesive, comprehensive project rather than in fragmented phases.
The current configuration is a 4-pronged intersection that does not function well and has very poor circulation for
pedestrians; there have been 10 reported accidents here in the past 5 years.
This intersection had a demonstration project completed by Portland Downtown and Portland Trails/Bicycle Coalition of
Maine in 2023, which resulted in temporary ramps for pedestrians. As a result, pedestrian activity at this location
increased by 300% based on data collected by PACTS. This project will make permanent that testing phase, along with
additional amenities for pedestrians.

a. Legal Compliance and Risk to Health, Safety and Environment
Updates to ADA ramps is a legal requirement under the Federal ADA laws. Safety will be improved by improving the
condition of the road and sidewalks/ramps making it safer for vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians, and our operations crews.
In addition, removing the signal and creating a roundabout will increase safety for pedestrian and vehicles. This
intersection currently has Poor pedestrian access, with no accessible facilities on the entire west side of the intersection.
b. Asset Condition and Level of Service
The PCI of the intersection is 45 to 65 depending on which street was evaluated. The signal does not function well and
has a poor level of service as existing. The ramps are currently not ADA compliant and the intersection in general is not
easy for pedestrian movements.
c. Equitable Community Investment
This project is Block Group 1, Census Tract 3 - 48.7%.
Improving the ADA accessibility through the intersection ensures that all residents, regardless of physical ability, have
safe and accessible pathways. This approach promotes inclusivity by prioritizing the needs of individuals with disabilities,
older adults, and families with strollers, while also benefiting the broader community.
d. Sustainability and Climate Action
Improving roadway quality decreases gas consumption and also increases bike safety. Installing a roundabout will
decrease idling which also reduces gas consumption. By improving ADA ramps, pedestrian activity is safer and therefore
more attractive to pedestrians to use alternative modes of transportation.
e. Local Funding Optimization

Tract 1500.2, 57.6% for Census Tract 2002.1. This project aims to achieve a safe accessible multimodal corridor for
pedestrians and transit users of all ability levels. These improvements will also help maintenance crews with snow
removal and winter maintenance. The METRO Bus Route 4 has several stops along the proposed project. By improving
the condition of the sidewalk along this corridor, we will increase accessibility for pedestrians as well as transit riders.
d. Sustainability and Climate Action
This work aligns with all of the Connect 2045 Goals - by improving the sidewalk we are providing equitable access to all
regardless of purpose, destination, or form of travel. This work is also improving safety by providing complete
infrastructure and supporting great places due to the adjacent businesses, healthcare facilities, and parks and recreation
facilities. Lastly, by improving pedestrian and bus facilities we are expanding choices for people to use alternative modes
of transportation such as walking and buses which also help protect the environment by reducing emissions.
e. Local Funding Optimization
Funding for this project is being matched up to 50% by PACTS, $350,000. This is a great way to optimize local funds to
accomplish a project that has been on our work plan.
f. Project Readiness
This project does not require a large amount of design work as the curb line will not be changing. Once the two- and
three-party agreements are signed by the City, PACTS and MaineDOT, putting together plans, specs and estimates will
not take long to forward to purchasing for advertisement.
g. Department Priority
Upgrading sections of sidewalk that leverage other funding sources remains a priority for the Department of Public

Project Description
Preservation and rehab including combination of treatments ranging from crack sealing and preservation overlays to
milling and resurfacing thoughout the city. Scope of work also includes improvements to storm and santitary structures,
installation/improvement to ADA curb ramps as required, and other existing infrastructure. A reinventory of pavement
conditions city-wide was completed in 2022 (a new scan was completed in 2025 and the new data should be available in
the next few months); results from that are being used to support the continued request for significant funding for
improving and protecting our investment in infrastructure. All cost associated with a complete paving project are not just
paving costs. Funds are needed to maintain traffic flow, safe access for driveways, adjustment of curb including work to
comply with ADA, replacement/revisions to pavement markings and traffic signals (see separate Traffic signals request),
adjustment/repair to sanitary/storm structures (see Sewer Fund requests).
Project Justification
Our 2022 street inventory concluded that 56% of the road segments in Portland are ranked Fair or lower requiring
treatments such as overlays and mill and fills. Only 15% of the streets were deemed to be in good enough condition to
only require deferred maintenance. The work to repair these streets are part of our Pavement Preservation Program
equating to approximately 225 lane miles of roads. It is clear from this information, as well as the continual complaints and
pothole repair requests that many streets in the City are in disrepair. The cost to maintain a road in poor condition will be
four to six times higher than a road that is in good or better condition. We need to maintain the roads that are in good
condition while providing upgrades to those in poor condition. Maintaining an adequate roadway system is essential to
support transportation including vehicular, transit, pedestrian, and bicycle traffic throughout the city.
Keeping more streets in a good condition greatly reduces the annual maintenance costs city wide and also reduces hours
needed to address concerns from residents/business regarding poor street condition.

a. Legal Compliance and Risk to Health, Safety and Environment
As part of the paving program, ADA ramps will be updated on every road that we pave. Updates to ADA ramps is a legal
requirement under the Federal ADA laws. Safety will be improved by improving the condition of the road making it safer
for vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians, and our operations crews.
b. Asset Condition and Level of Service
The average PCI (pavement condition index) for our local roads is 59 after our last scan in 2022. More than 138 miles of
local roads have a PCI ranked 70 and lower (Fair, Poor, Very Poor, Serious, and Failed). These roads need to be
addressed to improve infrastructure throughout the City.
c. Equitable Community Investment
The paving program is citywide and addresses streets in all districts throughout the City. Many areas are considered
low/moderate income and by improving the streets all users will benefit because ADA ramps will be upgraded, buses will
have a smoother ride, and vehicles will also benefit from better pavement condition.
d. Sustainability and Climate Action
Improving roadway quality decreases gas consumption and also increases bike safety. By improving ADA ramps,
pedestrian activity is safer and therefore more attractive to pedestrians.
e. Local Funding Optimization
This is fully locally funded so that we can address the local roads throughout the City.
f. Project Readiness
A tentative list has been prepared and we anticipate specifications to be ready by March 2026 for construction
throughout the 2026 construction season.

Project Description
2025: Funds requested this year would be used to continue addressing a $120M+ backlog in poor condition sidewalk and
pedestrian facilities. Projects will be selected based on lack of ADA compliance, poor condition, roadway classification, key
pedestrian routes, proximity to transit, schools and neighborhood centers. Funds may also be used to supplement other,
larger projects (ie. Street resurfacing or water resource work) if outcomes align with the goals and priorities of the
Sidewalk & ADA Rehabilitation Program.
Project Justification
2025: Based on our Citywide condition inventory database and small improvements made during the last several
construction seasons, the $120M+ backlog remains before all sidewalks and ramps in the city achieve an acceptable SCI
rating of 80 or higher. At current funding levels, only a very small number of locations could be addressed depending on
their complexity. This program will continue to select projects based on poor existing condition, roadway classification,
key pedestrian routes, proximity to transit, schools and neighborhood centers and in areas with patterns of accidents.
Funds may also be used to collaborate on other, larger projects (ie. Street resurfacing or water resource work) if outcomes
align with the goals and priorities of the Sidewalk Rehabilitation Program.

Criteria Justification
Rank %
a. Legal Compliance and Risk to Health, Safety and Environment
Updates to ADA Ramps and sidewalks are a legal requirement under the Federal ADA and PROWAG laws. Creating a
network of pedestrian routes is paramount to creating a city that is usable by people of all ability levels. Safety will be
improved by updating pedestrian ramps and sidewalks because in some cases if the poor condition of a sidewalk is
impassable to people with disabilities, they may choose to use the road to travel, having pedestrians in the same travel
way as vehicles is very dangerous and the city should be working on remedying these situations wherever possible.
b. Asset Condition and Level of Service
In 2018 the City of Portland contracted a consultant for a for a Citywide Sidewalk Condition Inventory. The inventory
collection took place from 2018-2019 and was sent back to the City in October of 2019. Of the roughly 195 miles of City
sidewalk evaluated in this audit, roughly 89% was found to meet ADA non-compliance based on tripping hazards,
sidewalk condition index and both temporary and fixed obstructions. Tripping hazards range from sidewalk conditions
including cracking, faulting and distortion, to tree roots and raised gate valves. The study found that roughly 65% of
sidewalks within City limits would need full reconstruction to meet ADA standards.
c. Equitable Community Investment
When possible the sidewalk program prioritizes fixing sidewalks in underserved neighborhoods. We routinely win
Community Development Block Grants that specifically promote infrastructure investment in low-moderate income
neighborhoods, the Sidewalk Rehab budget supplements these funds when they cannot cover the entire cost of a
project. Another priority of the sidewalk program is to create safer routes to school and accessible routes to public
transportation, these projects primarily are coincident with underserved geographies.
d. Sustainability and Climate Action
Improving pedestrian access routes will encourage residents and visitors of Portland to use active transportation over
private vehicles. The sidewalk program is a cornerstone of creating a safe and accessible active transportation network
and providing upgraded facilities allowes for the low-carbon or carbon-free travel supported in the One Climate Future
Plan.
e. Local Funding Optimization
There are many different types of projects funded by the sidewalk program either in part or whole. The sidewalk
rehabilitation fund lends itself to Water Resources and Paving Program projects that may have sidewalk/accessibility
elements. Having the ability to share the sidewalk rehabilitation funding with these programs is paramount as it is much
easier to construct a sidewalk when a contractor is already mobilized rather than going out to bid for 20 different ramp
locations by themselves. The sidewalk rehabilitation fund also supplements the funding the sidewalk program recieves
from the Community Development Block Grants, these allow the sidewalk program to complete much larger projects
rather than being restricted by the budget awarded through the CDBG.
f. Project Readiness
The projects funded by the sidewalk rehabilitation fund are all in design and may be able to be constructed in 2025-2026
construction season.

Project Description
Arterial crossings provide high-quality, safe crossings at unsignalized crossings for pedesteian along Portland's busiest
streets.
This is a program that was disctontinued due to budget adjustments following FY20 and is being re-requested following
significant public request for improved crossings at key locations.
Project Justification
Portland's arterials have a long record of challenging pedestrian crossings, in some cases resulting in pedestrian injuries
and even deaths. Providing crossings with median islands, flashing beacons, additional lighting, and signage have been
demonstrated to significantly improve pedestrian safety. Constituents will often request locations they have noticed
significant unsafe pedestrian crossing behavior, and it is imperative for the engineering department to be able to evaluate
and provide a cost-effective and safe route for pedestrians. However, the project costs preclude these outcomes being

There are several high crash locations throughout the city that need more attention and funding to rectify dangerous
crossings. The Department of Public Works routinely receives crossing improvement requests of various magnitudes
throughout the city where residents and visitors feel unsafe at designated pedestrian crossings.
c. Equitable Community Investment
A priority of the Department of Public Works is to create safer routes to school and accessible routes to public
transportation, these projects primarily are coincident with underserved geographies. These arterial crossings are often
not on the peninsula and are in locations that have not had a lot of attention paid to them in recent memory.
d. Sustainability and Climate Action
Improving pedestrian access routes will encourage residents and visitors of Portland to use active transportation over
private vehicles. The sidewalk program is a cornerstone of creating a safe and accessible active transportation network
and providing upgraded facilities allowes for the low-carbon or carbon-free travel supported in the One Climate Future
Plan.
e. Local Funding Optimization
There are many different types of projects funded by the sidewalk program either in part or whole. Thearterial crossing
fund lends itself to Sidewalk Program, Water Resources and Paving Program projects that may have crossings on arterial
roads and safety concerns.
f. Project Readiness
The projects funded by the arterial crossing fund are all in design and may be able to be constructed in 2026-2027
construction season.
g. Department Priority
Arterial Crossing and pedestrian safety continues to be a priority for the Department of Public Works

Project Description
New programmatic funding request to fund street safety and traffic calming outcomes including but not limited to: speed
tables, additional striping, additional signage, and bollards. These outcomes can support the City's adoption of Vision Zero
Project Justification
The City continues to get speeding complaints and traffic calming requests. Speeds have increased in the past few years in
all states, including Maine which cause more accidents and especially more accidnets that cause injury. The use of these
funds will be to implement traffic calming devices (where warranted) throughout the City.

Traffic Calming/Street Safety Initiatives - Street Safety/Vision Zero Support 10
Criteria Justification
Rank %
a. Legal Compliance and Risk to Health, Safety and Environment
In recent years, the inability of the Portland Police Department to respond to traffic violations has resulted in a strong
desire from the public to have the Department of Public Works intervene in some manner. These measures will
hopefully help address an outbreak of poor driver behavior and respond in a meaningful way to public demands.
b. Asset Condition and Level of Service
At this time, existing traffic calming assets are generally maintained and are in good to fair condition. The new assets
will generally be deployed in association with street paving and reconstruction, but may also be done in areas where
specific documented safety issues have resulted in human injury and/or destruction of property.
c. Equitable Community Investment
Currently traffic calming outcomes are based on a petition method of outcomes, as opposed to a data-driven one, or
one based on maximizing safety for underrepresented groups.
d. Sustainability and Climate Action
There is no climate associated component with traffic calming or mentions in climate action plans - these outcomes are
specifically focused on safety. However, if vehicles do stay at slower speeds, this could result in reduced carbon
emissions.
e. Local Funding Optimization
At this time, calming outcomes identified for this program would be solely paid for with City capital funds.
f. Project Readiness
The City has standard details available for traffic calming devices and will incorporate them into future paving bids, thus
making outcomes quick and efficient.
g. Department Priority
Traffic calming is a strong priority for DPW as it has assumed the primary role of ensuring transportation safety for the
City of Portland.

Division Engineering
ClassificationTransportation Strategic Priority Asset/Infrastructure Preservation
Project Description
FY27 funding ancitipated to support Vision-Zero based photometric review of key locations in City needing lighting in
keeping with City and MaineDOT lighting standards. Provision of urban streetscape lighting in various locations. Will likely
include supplements to pedestrian facilities at or near arterial crossings, in keeping with MaineDOT design guidelines and
City safety goals.
Project Justification
In response to resident feedback and new 2024 MaineDOT safety regulations, the City is prioritizing improvements to
street lighting. These new state rules require better lighting at intersections and crosswalks on busy streets to keep
pedestrians safe, and mesh well with the City's adoption of Vision Zero.
Additionally, many neighborhoods will benefit from targeted, smaller-scale lighting designed to improve visibility at night
and during poor weather. The requested funding for 2027 will allow us to hire experts to analyze current light levels and
identify exactly where upgrades are needed. This study will create a clear roadmap for future funding requests, ensuring
we systematically improve safety and visibility year after year.

Outcomes
Criteria Justification
Rank %
a. Legal Compliance and Risk to Health, Safety and Environment
As of 2024, MaineDOT has a new document, "Lighting Design Guideline for Pedestrian Crosswalks". This document is a
reference for new MaineDOT lighting requirements for all pedestrian crossings at collectors and arterials. It is likely that
Portland will elect to also pursue these requirements on local streets. The 2024 MaineDOT "Lighting Design Guideline for
Pedestrian Crosswalks" addresses illuminance and luminance requirements, as well as the mitigation of light pollution in
surrounding environments. Future pedestrian-scale lighting projects should aim to minimize extraneous light pollution
and concentrate illumination where it is most critical to enhance safety.
b. Asset Condition and Level of Service
In many places, smaller-scale lighting will be deployed where none has existed, while in others, it will be used to
enhance and infill utility pole-mounted cobra head lighting that provides general lighting, but often obscures
pedestrians crossing at night.
c. Equitable Community Investment
This program is intended to be deployed citywide to improve safety for all pedestrians, and, to a lesser degress cyclists.
It is not limited to a specific area or user group.
d. Sustainability and Climate Action
Lighting will be based on current best practices for fixtures, typically low-power, long-lasting LED's.
e. Local Funding Optimization
These funds will provide programmatic outcomes that will support other programs, such as paving, sidewalks, and traffic
signals. Ideally in the future other non-City funds may become available for use.
f. Project Readiness
The City has a long-standing partnership with Acuity/Holophane due to its lighting requirements. This includes the
ability of our parter to work with staff on photometric plans and lighting outcomes in short order.
g. Department Priority
As MaineDOT has determined lighting is a high priority for pedestrians, DPW is also now increasing its priority.

Traffic Signals Upgrade Program 12
Public Works
Division Engineering
ClassificationTransportation Strategic Priority Asset/Infrastructure Preservation
Project Description
$575,000 for new equipment at St. John/Brighton/Devonshire/Dartmouth (2 intersections) $75,000 for retrofit at
Allen/Northfield Green. May be used for other items as needed, including support for other DOT and City work.
Project Justification
Properly updated and coordinated signal systems, along with state-of-the-art detection and pedestrian/bicycle crossing
devices, can improve traffic flow along major corridors and provide safety for all modes of travel. At this time, the City
has approximately 122 active signal systems.
Portland invested heavily in its signal systems about 30 years ago, and had a very modern OSAM (DOS-based) control
system. The City is now fully two-generations from this system, in its first stages of placing Advanced Traffic Control
Systems (ATC), tied to an updated ATMS.now-based state-of-the-art communications system. In addition, the age of much
of the equipment has gotten to the point where a number of signal control cabinets have moisture problems, controllers
fail, wiring is corroding, and bases are rusting away. Some type of signal failure, ranging from lights going to flash to
broken wires to complete power loss happens several times a week, usually due to the age of the equipment.
The traffic technicians have become less about regular maintenance and fine-tuning and more about emergency response,
having to act, often on-call after hours, to ensure the safe and efficient passage of movement along Portland's major
routes.
Furthermore, current ADA and state/federal requirements dictate having larger and brighter, LED-based lighting,
pedestrian crossing buttons with audio, countdown heads with a seconds indicator, video or infrared-based camera
detection, 12-inch signal heads with reflective back plates and fiber-optic interconnect to bring signal systems into the 21st
century. While the RTMS-based funding from PACTS and in a separate CIP account have allowed for some corridor
optimization, many locations simply do not meet current operational requirements, nor do they demonstrate adequate
reliability.
This year's request and subsequent requests are part of an ongoing plan to bring the City's signal systems to a reliable,
modern and compliant state, and allow for better pedestrian provisions, bicycle detection, and flexible timing plans during
special events.
Signal equipment requests in this CIP line item as of 2018 will be for signal-specific projects.

Criteria Justification
Rank %
a. Legal Compliance and Risk to Health, Safety and Environment
Much of the City's signal equipment often does not meet current state guidelines for operations, and does not meet
current requirements for ADA and PROWAG. Equipment is often not capable of accommodating emergent modes and
their associated best practices such as bicycles or transit signal priority.
b. Asset Condition and Level of Service
Signals identified in the capital improvement plan typically have cabinets that are two generations of design out of date
with current standards, signal heads that are not LED-based and fading, aging wiring, pedestrian buttons that often stick
or fail entirely, with overhead equipment placed on span wire, not structures.
c. Equitable Community Investment
New signal equipment is based on needs of age, not focused on a specific location or user group. However,
contemporary signal equipment keeping with best practices is able to more nimbly meet the needs of various modes of
travel, not solely cars.
d. Sustainability and Climate Action
Newer signal equipment and signal heads typically draw less power than older equipment, and is more flexible with
making changes to operation without having to purchase additional in-cabinet equipment.
e. Local Funding Optimization
The signal outcomes associated with this program are those not typically eligible for federal funds, as they are not
typically on the most significant regional travel corridors.
f. Project Readiness
Replacement of signal cabinets, heads and wiring - items other than new mast arms - are often relatively quick to
compile and install, and don't require significant design other than updating timing plans.
g. Department Priority
DPW has made updating is aging signal equipment a high priority for a number of years now.

Project Description
$150,000 for updates in association with work in the Brighton/St. John/Congress areas as needed to coordinate with
MaineDOT Arterial paving projects. May be tapped for City paving projects as well.
Project Justification
This request will be to provide updates at Preble and Baxter and Stevens and Pleasant in association with pending paving

The City and MaineDOT's paving programs expects to continue a robust period of street repair in coming funding cycles,
using CIP requests, as well as anticipated locally-funded projects, and City-Administered paving projects (through various
MPI programs). However, in the past these type of corridor paving projects have often been saddled with various non-
paving costs, like traffic signal features such as video detection, pavement loops, and pedestrian buttons (ADA
requirement).
Beginning in FY17, the City sought to keep separate various types of funding for each "type" of corridor improvement.

Requested DOT match funding for FY27 paving project
The scope of work includes the following elements:
** Adjustments to travel lane configurations
** Traffic signal equipment & intersection modifications
** Sidewalk/ADA improvements
** Pedestrian accessibility along and across Forest Avenue
** High quality bicycle facilities
** Improved transit facilities/efficiency (queue jumps, transit signal priority, bus stops, etc.)
** Improved streetscape including pedestrian scale lighting and green stormwater infrastructure opportunities.
Project Justification
The Forest Avenue Smart Corridor Phase IV project area extends on Forest Avenue from Revere Street to Bedford Street,
with an area of influence from north of Woodfords Corner to Marginal Way to the south. This portion of Forest Avenue
had a series of preliminary recommendations set forth in the PACTS Smart Corridor Study, completed in 2017.
As part of this and other previous studies, numerous issues have been identified in this segment of Forest Avenue.
** Four-lane cross-section with challenges for safety and turns in particular
-- 18 collisions with cyclists resulting in 15 injuries in the past ten years
-- 24 collisions with pedestrians, resulting in 21 injured and one killed in the past ten years
-- 241 motor vehicle crashes in the past three years with four high crash locations (HCL's) in the study area
** Four lanes creates the 'double threat' to pedestrians
** Lack of bike facilities
** Older traffic signal equipment, wiring and structures
** ADA and sidewalk conditions vary widely
** Inconsistent/lacking streetscape quality
** Barrier effect between easterly and westerly sides of the street
The project could provide numerous benefits:
** Enhanced transit access, operational efficiency and supportive infrastructure
** Safer pedestrian access along and across Forest Avenue and to transit stops
** Safer and more comfortable bicycle facilities on Forest Avenue and connection to other bikeway facilities
** Improved motor vehicle safety
** Improved streetscape aesthetics and supportive economic development and transit-supportive environment.

Criteria Justification
Rank %
a. Legal Compliance and Risk to Health, Safety and Environment
This project would accomplish making permanent a three-lane cross-section of Forest Avenue, in contrast to its current
four-lane cross-section. This would have a significant effect on roadway safety for motorists, transit and pedestrians. In
addition, dedicated bike lanes would greatly improve safety for cyclists. Ramps would be updated to comply with ADA
standards ensuring better pedestrian access. It would also result in compliance with current ADA, MUTCD, AASHTO and
other regulatory entites/rules.
b. Asset Condition and Level of Service
Pavement conditions are fair to poor along Forest Avenue, with sidewalk conditions ranging from good to poor
depending upon the segment. Bicycle facilities are highly inconsistent, ranging from buffered bike lanes to sharrows.
Traffic signal equipment is generally aging, with older TS2 cabinets and aluminum mast arms in fair condition, but
beyond their design life span.
c. Equitable Community Investment
Forest Avenue is a principal arterial, providing connections to and from downtown Portland for locals and the region,
regardless of travel mode or user group. However, the primary beneficiaries from the project will generally be those
who travel without a vehicle, often those in the low to moderate income groups.
d. Sustainability and Climate Action
The project will result in a shift to more climate-friendly transportation modes by allowing more comfortable paths for
bikes and pedestrians, and likely result in reduced carbon emissions.
e. Local Funding Optimization
This project has been thus far funded with a majority of PACTS funds. Pending completion of the Enhanced Project
scoping work at the end of 2024. The City is pursuing match funding from DOT as part of the MDOT MPI Paving Program.

With the exception of Washington Avenue/Auburn Street off-peninsula, the City's signal system along its primary arterials
is served by aging twisted-pair copper wire, which is decades old and has limited bandwidth.
Network communication continues to be a concern for both DPW and the IT Department. The use of copper wire requires
the addition of specialized Actelis units that add cost to the system and increasingly have communications dropouts due to
age, as some of the copper interconnects are almost 40 years old.
As such, the request is to bring the City's signal communications system up to modern communications and reliability
standards.

Criteria Justification
Rank %
a. Legal Compliance and Risk to Health, Safety and Environment
New fiber-based communications lines will ensure signals communicate with the City's ATMS central system and reduce
down time for malfuctioning traffic signals, likely reducing the time malfunctioning equipment results in driver and other
modal confusion.
b. Asset Condition and Level of Service
The condition of the twisted copper wire serving as the backbone for signal communications is generally Fair to Poor,
but has begun to show lagging and inconsistent packet transmission suggesting that as this asset moves closer to 40
years old, failure is a likely outcome in the next five years or so. Lack of communications forces on-site response to the
most basic of traffic signal issues, which may not be warranted if communications are robust and reliable.
c. Equitable Community Investment
The City's transportation network serves all users, but without adequate communications, it cannot effectively serve any
population.
d. Sustainability and Climate Action
Reliable communications result in reduce need to bring a city vehicle to a specific signal location, reducing carbon
emissions.

a. Legal Compliance and Risk to Health, Safety and Environment
Water Resources projects are sometimes limited in being able to fund outcomes that result in streets with a Good level
of repair, as well as sidewalks. Funding additional outcomes such as these better allows the City to satisfy ADA and

b. Asset Condition and Level of Service
Typically these funds for transportation outcomes shift facilities that are in Poor Condition, or have compliance issues
such as missing sidewalk segments to result in facilities in Good condition.
c. Equitable Community Investment
Water Resource improvements, and as such, these outcomes, are driving by condition ratings for stormwater and sewer
facilities. As such, they occur throughout the City, although most often in areas where infrastructure is older, when
tends to be in areas with high levels of moderate or low incomes.
d. Sustainability and Climate Action
By directing transortation funds to Water Resources efforts, more WR funds can be dedicated to meeting environmental
needs associated with sewer separation and other water quality outcomes.
e. Local Funding Optimization
The amount of local transportation funds added to what tend to be much larger Water Resource projects allows for
Transportation outcomes to typically take advantage of economies of scale with larger contractor mobilizations.
f. Project Readiness
Water Resources typically has consultants already under contract to do their projects, and adding what are relatively

Project Description
Quad Gates at Brighton Avenue: $1,000,000 Estimate
12/12/23: Discussions with CSX suggest larger improvements to at-grade crossings and potential of the City seeking federal
funds with RR support.
12/8/20: Pan Am being purchased and taken over by CSX - next phases of work and outcomes unclear until changeover
completed.
10/12/18 Need to hire consultant study the corridor to anyalize need for quad crossing verses other solutions.
10/17/17: Railroad Quiet Zones(RRQZ) are designataed railroad locations or corridors that restrict trains from using their
train horns as warnings as the train enters the RRQZ.
Pan Am Railroad Company operates in three (3) Portland RRQZs over a total of twenty (20) public highway/railroad at
grade crossings in the City. Many of our crossings are very close to residential areas such as in the Deering Highlands area,
Woodfords’ Corner and some North Deering neighborhoods as well. While certainly not wanting to compromise safety,
the ability to restrict the rail carrier from automatic horn or whistle activation allows these neighborhoods and districts to
maintain quality of living elements while reducing excessive noise. The three (3) Quiet Zones in the City of Portland are as
defined as follows:
RRQZ 1-Portland Mountain Division II. The crossings in the Portland Mountain Division II Quiet Zone are: Congress Street;
Frost Street; Rand Road; and Pine Tree Industrial Parkway.
RRQZ 2- Portland WN & P II. The crossings in the Portland WN&P Quiet Zone are: Forest Avenue and Bishop Street.
RRQZ 3- Portland ST. Maine Line II. The crossings in the Portland St Maine Line II are: Congress Street; Brighton Avenue;
Prospect Street; Ashmont Street; Coyle Street; Lincoln Street; Revere Street; Woodfords Street; Saunders Street; Forest
Avenue; Walton Street; Read Street; Allen Avenue; Riverside Street.
The Federal Rail Authority (FRA) requires that RRQZ be in compliance with safety guidelines and if not the municipality
must implement Supllemental Safety Measurements (SSM) to maintain the RRQZ. Since funding for SSM's is not available
through any State or Federal agency and there are no grant funds available, staff believes that it is prudent to budget
00,000 a year for each of the next five years in the City’s CIP. Recent conversations with Pan Am have indicated that they
may agree to a four-gate equipment upgrade system, which provides a significant reduction in risk without the property
impacts associated with a median treatment or the higher costs associated with full quad gates. Current funding should
allow for completion of work at Brighton Avenue and Walton Street. This request would be for a four-gate system to be
provided at the Allen Avenue crossing.
Project Justification
Pan Am Railroad lines and crossings were upgraded to accommodate the 2012 extension of the Downeaster passenger
train service between Portland and Brunswick with two (5) round trips per day going through the Portland corridor. For
comparisons, presently there can be as many as eight (8) freight trains that travel through this Portland corridor daily now
there will be at least 14 trips through the corridor. The train speed of the Downeaster within the City limits will be 30 mph
from Congress Street to Allen Avenue and outside of the City limits, from Allen Avenue to past Falmouth Road will be 60
mph. Each of the crossings will be equipped with standard equipment including video monitoring, grade crossing
predictors, crossing monitor and recording technology, gates, electronic bells, 12 inch flashing lights as well as the ability
to record positive gate down status. The FRA does regular inspections and evaluations for rail safety in RRQZ the threshold
for requiring improvements in the RRQZ are different than where train horns are allowed. Portland RRQZ still meets FRA
requirements but any incident on the system could be problematic so improvements need to Implemented.
The Federal Rail Administration (FRA) is responsible for enforcement of the Quiet Zone designation in cities and towns,
and conducts regular compliance evaluations of a community’s quiet zone status to assess if that Quiet Zone needs to be
modified, continue as is or be removed. These inspections, known as Risk Reviews, evaluate relevant train transportation
and accident data within 5 years preceding the annual risk review. Additionally, the State and the City are responsible for
inventory updates that reflect any changes to the crossings, including items such as traffic counts, train frequency and
speeds and any local accident data that may not have been reported to the FRA. The FRA attaches a risk assessment
number to each crossing that reflects their survey and that supplied by the state and municipality. This risk number is then
compared to the National Risk Assessment index. If a quiet zone measurement is higher than the national risk assessment,
then the entire Quiet Zone is out of compliance and the Municipality must install Supplemental Safety Measurements
Page 267
Project Title ID 141708 Dept Ranking
RR Quiet Zone Compliance Program 22
(SSM’s) to maintain the zone.
There are 14 types of SSM’s available for mitigation, but many offer a small risk reduction decrease for a large investment.
Others may not be used a certain locations. Because our Quiet Zone with the most crossings – The Maine Line II, goes right
through concentrated business and residential areas, we are further confined to a few choices.
The City expects to submit a new inventory and affirmations to the FRA at the end of this year. We expect that increased
vehicle and train counts as well as increased speeds will increase our overall risk index. This comes at a time when the
National Risk Index is expected to drop, making compliance even more difficult.

offered. However, many of these grants have a necessary match element, which is why it is salient to have available
funding in a quiet zone fund to secure as match money.
Operating Budget Impact
As there are no alternative sources for quiet zone funds, any work completed in order to maintain Quiet Zone compliance
must be accomplished via local funding sources.
This quiet zone funding could potentially be paired with Federal Rail Administration CRISI safety grants as match money,
although availability of those are relatively unpredictable.

RR Quiet Zone Compliance Program 22
Criteria Justification
Rank %
a. Legal Compliance and Risk to Health, Safety and Environment
There are increasingly more near misses or railroad crashes in Portland at railroad crossings. If this trend continues the
FRA has the authority to take away the Quiet Zone designation from each of Portland's 20 at grade rail crossing
locations. If this were to happen the CSX trains and Amtrak Downeaster trains would be obligated to blow their horns
day and night each time they crossed these locations. There was an errant horn blow from an Amtrak train recently and
the North Deering neighborhood association submitted many complaints. To regain the quiet zone status if Portland
ever loses it would be a great task with much more investment needed in crossing safety upgrades than.
b. Asset Condition and Level of Service
Currently these 20 at-grade crossing locations are all in need of upgrades, either minor or major. The rail companies that
utilize this rail infrastructure (CSX and Amtrak Downeaster) are within their right to blow their horn if they judge that the
crossings are unsafe for either vehicular or train traffic. Ultimately safety is paramount at all of these locations and
securing funding to create safer at-grade rail crossings would both ensure the quiet zone designation remain in effect as
well as reduce potential accidents between trains and vehicles or pedestrians.
c. Equitable Community Investment
These at grade rail crossings go through every neighborhood off-peninsula. Having all of these at-grade rail crossings as
part of a quiet zone contributes to the safety and wellbeing of adjacent communities. Noise pollution for train horns
would significantly decrease the quality of life as well as property value along these corridors. Studies have shown that
there are direct links between noise pollution and health, health problems related to noise pollution include high blood
pressure, sleep disruption, hearing loss, and lost productivity.
d. Sustainability and Climate Action
Rail travel is a lower carbon form of travel and transit of goods than using roadways. Encoruaging these forms of travel
and freight hauling by creating safer interactions between trains and automobiles should be a priority for the City.
Efforts to “Make Transit Easier,” “Expand Local Connections,” and “Introduce Rapid Transit” in alignment with the
Transit Tomorrow vision for the PACTS region. The One Climate Future Plan states that Regional Sustainable Freight is a
long term strategy goal.
e. Local Funding Optimization
As there are no alternative sources for quiet zone funds, any work completed in order to maintain Quiet Zone
compliance must be accomplished via local funding sources. The city has looked into securing CRISI grants from the
Federal Rail Administration but has not had the manpower to submit a full grant application on time. The DPW is
focused on catching this grant funding from the FRA next time it is offered. However, many of these grants have a
necessary match element, which is why it is salient to have available funding in a quiet zone fund to secure as match
money.
f. Project Readiness
The quiet zone funding would immediately go to a safety audit contract that the DPW has been looking to advertise
such that we have a better handle on the safety score of each crossing location. Then using this data the DPW could hire
a consultant to design crossing upgrades at each location.

Bike Facility Safety Improvements (BBI Program) in support of Vision Zero 23
Criteria Justification
Rank %
a. Legal Compliance and Risk to Health, Safety and Environment
The reallocation of space for bicycle uses, including buffer areas and conflict markings aid in providing a lower-stress
cycling environment. These changes also reduce the width of traffic lanes, which reduces speeds and likely, injury
crashes. Not providing these outcomes increases risks and the potential that fewer transportation users elect to travel
by cycling.
b. Asset Condition and Level of Service
In many cases, existing facilities are Poor, Failing, or non-existent.
c. Equitable Community Investment
Bicycling is a low-cost form of transportation, and by adding these facilities citywide, active transportation will benefit
the greatest potential number of users.
d. Sustainability and Climate Action
Providing these facilities allows for the type of carbon-free travel supported in the One Climate Future Plan.
e. Local Funding Optimization
While local funding has at times supplemented other projects, most of these projects are solely a local endeavor, as
Portland's commitment to lower-stress cycling far exceeds those goals around the remainder of the state.

ClassificationTransportation Strategic Priority Asset/Infrastructure Preservation
Project Description
This MaineDOT funded project includes street resurfacing, ADA-compliant sidewalk & ramp recostruction, the addition of
bike lanes with durable pavement markings, pedestrian signal equipment upgrades, and transit stop improvement
beginning at the State Street intersection and continuing approximately 800 LF to High Street.
Project Justification
In 2020 PACTS funding was requested for this work in order to improve regional pedestrian and bicyclist safety and
accessibility along a Priority Corridor. This will be achieved by installing a segment of sidewalk where none exists but
where there is demonstrated demand, reconstruct sidewalks that are in poor condition (SCI ranges from 33 to 80 within
project scope), address signal, ramp and sidewalk ADA compliance issues, improve access and safety for bicyclists and
pedestrians using the Casco Bay Bridge, add a crosswalk at Park Street to improve pedestrian connectivity between the
West End and Commercial Street and improve the transit stop at York and State Street.

York St Sidewalk and Street Rehab 24
Criteria Justification
Rank %
a. Legal Compliance and Risk to Health, Safety and Environment
Updates to ADA ramps and sidewalks are a legal requirement under the Federal ADA and PROWAG laws. Pedestrian
safety will be improved by updating the ramps and sidewalk runs along York Street between State Street and High
Street. Additionally, bicycle safety will be improved by creating designated bicycle lanes so that bicycles will not feel the
need to ride on the sidewalk as they have been observed doing with the current design of York Street.
b. Asset Condition and Level of Service
There are currently no designated bike lane along this section of York Street. The sidewalk conditions are fair to poor
with many tripping hazards or pinch points caused by tree wells or stairs.
c. Equitable Community Investment
This section of York Street is in Census Tract 11 Block Group 3. The percentage of residents within the low-moderate
income bracket is 72.20%. Bicycling and walking is a low- or no-cost form of transportation, and by adding or improving
these facilities to create a more wholesome network citywide, increases accessibility and equity for all.
d. Sustainability and Climate Action
Improving bike lanes and sidewalks will encourage residents and visitors of Portland to use active transportation over
personal cars. This project is in alignment with Portland's commitment to lower-stress cyclicng facilities and creating an
accessible pedestrian network around the city. Providing these upgraded facilities allows for the type of carbon-free
travel supported in the One Climate Future Plan.
e. Local Funding Optimization
This funding would go toward the construction of the multimodal (non-paving) elements of this project that is currently
being designed. The MaineDOT is funding 100% of the paving and the city needs to match the other elements of
construction (sidewalk repair, pedestrian ramp construction, bike facility construction)
f. Project Readiness
This project is already being designed by an engineering consultant as part of a MaineDOT LAP (WIN 24105.00). The
MaineDOT is matching the design 75/25 with the city. Once the design is complete the project can go out to bid for
construction, it is important to have funds secured for this project well before it needs to go out to bid for construction.
g. Department Priority
Completing multimodal system upgrades that leverage non-municipal funding sources is a high priority for the
Department of Public Works.

ClassificationTransportation Strategic Priority Asset/Infrastructure Preservation
Project Description
RTMS = Regional Transportation Management Systems
FY2027: $25k for local match toward RTMS Phase III, Part 1, which has a total cost of $189,500
Local support to augment PACTS UPWP funding for regional transportation system upgrades. Includes money for new
equipment and especially improved communications. Anticipate requiring approximately $200,000 to $300,000 per year,
which includes PACTS funding when a project from PACTS requires a match. In FY18 the City began on a project solely
dedicated to updates on Auburn Street and Washington Avenue, solely funded with local money. This request would aid
in supplying capital for the communications portion of the work.
The FY16 funding request is for component and communications upgrades for the intersections of Congress/India,
Congress/Washington, and Washington/Cumberland. The equipement is generally out of date, and in same cases, begun
to malfunction. The total request is for $271,770 in equipment upgrades, plus the PACTS match of $5,500, for $277,270.
The existing FY15 funds will be allotted between the local match for the Congress Street work ($82,500), with the
remainder going to Washington Avenue and Auburn Street improvements.
Project Justification
The City of Portland has partnered with Portland Area Comprehensive Transportation Study (PACTS), as well as the Cities
of Westbrook, South Portland to oversee the deployment of transportation management systems for the more efficient
flow of traffic and improved detection for all modes along the City's major travel corridors. Work to date has included
upgrades along Riverside Street, Brighton Avenue and Forest Avenue.
Significant work remains to be done along several major arterials, as well as in-town corridors. Longer-term, the region
anticipates upgrading technology to allow for up-to-date emergency vehicle and transit vehicle pre-emption systems.
The FY2025 Request is for an annual match of PACTS work, so $25,000. Some of this will meet the agreement-based
match of $10,829.00 for Part 1 of Phase III of RTMS, with the remainder being for support of other equipment and
consultant time to build upon those outcomes.

Union Branch Bridge Assessment 26
Public Works
Division Engineering
ClassificationTransportation Strategic Priority Asset/Infrastructure Preservation
Project Description
The land swap between the State and City gave the state ownership of the International Marine Terminal on Commercial
Street and the Cliff Island ferry landing. In exchange, the city received a 10-acre parcel off County Way, known as the
Northern Wye property, and a Park and Ride lot on Marginal Way, in addition to the Union Branch rail corridor. The swap
also included City ownership of the rail bridge over St. John Street. The City needs to assess the condition of this asset to
ensure safety for the public.
Project Justification
Assessment of the aquired bridge is needed for current/future maintenance obligations. There is potential for this
inoperative railroad bridge to deteriorate over active travel lanes on Park Avenue. Park Avenue has roughly 10,000 AADT

Intersection Redesign at Fore and Pearl in support of Vision Zero and Sustainability Outcomes 27
Public Works
Division Engineering
ClassificationTransportation Strategic Priority Asset/Infrastructure Preservation
Project Description
Design of a different intersection configuration at Pearl and Fore streets.
Project Justification
A recent signal warrant analysis completed at the intersection of Fore and Pearl has revealed that this traffic signal is not
warranted. At some time this traffic signal should be removed.
However, the current intersection geometrics are based on traffic signal operation, and the layout of this location will
need to change post signal removal. This being said, the intersection is located between Boothby Square and the Customs
House, one of the most historically and design significant parts of the City thus safety, historic influence and functionality
play into the new configuration of the intersection.
DPW would expect something like a small roundabout at this location, with design details similar to those at Boothby
Square.

Criteria Justification
Rank %
a. Legal Compliance and Risk to Health, Safety and Environment
This intersection does not satisfy federal regulations for use of a traffic signal for intersection control. In addition, the
accessibility/ADA is outdated and the design of the intersection is traffic signal specific.
b. Asset Condition and Level of Service
Existing signal equipment at Fore and Pearl is extremely outdated and even if it met contemporary signal warrants, it
would require a full replacement, which would be half a million dollars and require ongoing maintenance, updates, and
electrical costs. Reconstruction as a roundabout would vastly reduce annual maintenance and operational costs.
c. Equitable Community Investment
A small-scale roundabout is designed to accommodate all modes of travel in a slow manner doing so safely. It would
include enhanced crosswalk facilities for improve pedestrian accommodations.
d. Sustainability and Climate Action
Roundabouts reduce carbon emissions of vehicles relative to traffic signals, and typically eliminate severe injury and
fatal collisions, in keeping with regional and pending local Vision Zero goals.
e. Local Funding Optimization
It is unlikely that this location could readily attract state or federal funds for a redesign at this time. However, shifting
funds to more sustainable and lower maintenance cost outcomes will help reduce the burden on future operating
budgets.
f. Project Readiness
This project is currently at preliminary concept design, so funds have been requested in FY 26 to do design, with FY 27
intended to request funds for intersection reconstruction.
g. Department Priority
The City is focused on making its transportation network as safe and sustainable as possible. This intersection change

Van-Vehicle passenger van for the Social Services Outreach Team 1
Social Services
Division Social Services Administration
ClassificationVehicle - New (Not Replacement) Strategic Priority System Expansion
Project Description
Van/passenger van for the Social Services Outreach Team working out of the Social Services 39 Forest Avenue location.
Project Justification
The Social Service outreach team mission and purpose is to relocate homeless individuals to the Homeless Service Center
(HSC) located on Riverside drive. The Social Service outreach team is located at 39 Forest Avenue. The purpose of the
vehicle is to enable the transport and relocation of homeless individuals by the Social Service outreach team to relevant
services that would contribute to their transition to shelter and housing, namely the Homeless Service Center (HSC). The
Social Service outreach team does not have a vehicle, as such they are often required to work on foot canvassing the City
of Portland. When they encounter a client that is willing to take up services, their ability to act on that is limited in the
absence of reliable transport to move unsheltered individuals. As a result, potential shelter opportunities are lost with the
transport barrier. The introduction of a dedicated vehicle would allow the outreach team to more systemically and
efficiently link individuals to services and ultimately, transition them to shelter. This is a daily need and the anticipated
usage would be 20,000 miles/annum.
Social Services does not have available from current vehicles, a designated vehicle (a Van) to meet the needs and
objectives of the outreach team. As an example, in order to meet other current social service needs for the homeless
population, such as transportation to the warming shelter during the evening and night hours, Social Services is dependent
on using an ADA compliant Barron Center Van as some clients have mobility issues (only available during evening and
night hours).
A new vehicle for the Social Services outreach team is required for health, safety and success of the Social Services
outreach team’s objectives. A new vehicle is a primary department priority. Over time, the relocation of homeless
individuals to the homeless service center would meet the goals of the City of Portland (both economic and public welfare)
by relocating homeless individuals to a more appropriate setting and providing a healthier and safer environment for
homeless individuals. The homeless service center provides essential services for those most in financial need across the
Portland community for a segment of the City of Portland’s most vulnerable population, which is the homeless.
Transportation is (and would be) extremely helpful for homeless individuals and the social services outreach team. The
team often are working from remote locations. Adequate transportation would meet the need for access to the Homeless
Shelter (HSC) from various locations within the City of Portland. The Social Services outreach team when on site, would
then have the ability to fulfill it’s mission and purpose.
Social Services does not have available from current vehicles, a designated vehicle (a van) to meet the needs and
objectives of the the outreach team. As an example and noted above, in order to meet other current Social Service
operational responsibilities for the homeless population, such as transportation to the warming shelter during the
evening and night hours, Social Services is dependent on using an ADA compliant Barron Center Van as some clients have
mobility issues (only available during evening and night hours).

Van-Vehicle passenger van for the Social Services Outreach Team 1
Criteria Justification
Rank %
a. Legal Compliance and Risk to Health, Safety and Environment
The Van will need to be ADA compliant. For those homeless individuals with disabilities an ADA compliant van would be
essential part of operational needs for the safety and well being of the homeless population. An ADA compliant van
would be important for compliance and risk in regard to safety of both staff and the homeless population. The out
reach program is providing essential services for those most in financial need across the Portland Community for the City
of Portland’s most vulnerable populations. A 100% increase in improving the lives of homeless individuals by increasing
services for health, safety, and a better environment. In addition, it is important that a Social Services Van be ADA
compliant and have the following specifications:
ADA compliance:
•For each wheelchair or mobility aid securement device provided, a seatbelt and shoulder harness should also be
provided and should not take the place of a securement device for the wheelchair or mobility aid.
•Li s should incorporate an emergency method of lowering and stowing in the event of a failure. Li pla orms should
be equipped with barriers to prevent wheels of a mobility aid from rolling off during operation on an ADA compliant
van.
•The li pla orm should not move at a rate exceeding 6 inches/second when lowering and li ing an occupant and not
exceed 12 inches/second during deploying and stowing.
•Vehicle li s and ramps longer than 30” should have a minimum weight capacity of 600 lbs. Ramps slope shall not
exceed 1:4 when deployed to ground level on an ADA vehicle.
•For vehicles of 22' in length or less, the overhead clearance between the top of the door opening and the raised li
platform, or highest point of a ramp, shall be a minimum of 56".
•Other stepwells and doorways, including doorways in which li s or ramps are installed, shall have, at all mes, at least
2 foot-candles (21.52 lumens) of illumination measured on the step tread, or lift or ramp, when deployed at the vehicle
floor level.
•All ramps and li s will provide sufficient clearances to permit a wheelchair or other mobility aid user to reach a
securement location on ADA compliant vehicles.
b. Asset Condition and Level of Service
A new vehicle (ADA compliant Van) would substantially increase the level of service 100% and would be important as
well as make an impact for the City of Portland Peninsula area and remote locations (as noted above) for the homeless
population.
c. Equitable Community Investment
While the Homeless Service Center is not a poverty census tract, the City of Portland does provide services that are in
the spirit of equitable community investment and is a city-wide investment. The Homeless Service Center is unique in
that it predominantly serves a low-income vulnerable population with high needs that are likely to be challenged to find
services elsewhere in the State. The Homeless Service Center continues to provide services despite overwhelming
challenges that have made the Homeless Service Center even more critical than in past years. There are very few
alternative living and shelter alternatives for Maine’s homeless population. Without the City of Portland Homeless
Service Center to shelter the City of Portland homeless population, there would be no other alternatives for the
homeless population. Transportation is a key component in providing services for the homeless population.

CMOM - Inflow and Infiltration Phase 3 Mitigation
Water Resources
Division Sewer
ClassificationWastewater Strategic Priority Asset/Infrastructure Preservation
Project Description
The Inflow and Infiltration Program is a multi-year three phase program to identify and remove extraneous flows to the
sanitary sewer system. Phase 3 is the mitigation of sewers found to be deficient and a source of infiltration into the
system. All work is based on the Inflow and Infiltration Program Final Report which provides a three phase mitigation
strategy to address Inflow and Infiltration.
Project Justification
Phase three of the Inflow and Infiltration Program is the mitigation phase to address sources of extraneous flows identified
in both Phase one and Phase two. For the most part, mitigation measures will utilize Trenchless Technologies to address
leaky pipes and manholes. Additional consideration will be made to address connected sump pumps and leaky laterals.
Mitigation Phase 1 Estimated Cost = $8,864,857 (includes engineering and contingency costs). Full program esitmated to
cost $18,813,821 over three phases.
Mitigation Phase 1 has been completed. Mitigation Phase 2 + 3 is currently underway and will be complete by the end of
2025. After this work is completed, the next round of rehabilitation is for manholes. This request is to add funds to an
existing CIP account balance.

Project Description
Implementation of sewer separation projects in the downtown district to mitigate CSO discharge into Portland Harbor.
For FY 27 this account is intended to fund the following projects:
Center Street Separation Ph # 2 - Construction.
The Phase # 2 project will complete necessary sewer separation work in the upstream Center Street sewershed to fully
separate the sewers. This will allow City to convert the existing combined sewer in Center Street to a dedicated storm
drain and connect it into the separated storm drain outfall line being constructed as part of Phase # 1. In the end, this
project will separate nearly 30 acres of drainage area from the Commercial Street combined sewer system and will help
reduce CSOs at CSO Location #25, Long Wharf and #26 Maple Street.
This project is being completed in conjunction with the Gorham's Corner Mini-Roundabout Project.

CSO- Downtown District Sewer Separation 1
Criteria Justification
Rank %
a. Legal Compliance and Risk to Health, Safety and Environment
This work is being completed in alignment with the Water Resources Integrated Plan (IP), The City's Combined Sewer
Overflow CSO Long Term Control Plan (LTCP) as part of a consent agreement with the EPA. The IP identified and
prioritized the study, design and implementation of CSO sewer separation in the Portland Downtown District in an effort
to reduce CSO volumes into Portland Harbor at CSO locations located along the working waterfront. Completion of
these projects aim to reduce CSO's into Portland Harbor which will reduce the amount of raw sewage being discharged
during heavy rain events. Reducing CSO overflows will decrease potential human contact with harmful pollutants
allowing for safer recreation and commerce for public users of the harbor and Casco Bay. Reduction of CSO volumes
into the harbor should also decrease overall pollution and sediment loading which will aid in improving the water quality
of Casco Bay, which is the main long term goal of the Water Resources IP.
b. Asset Condition and Level of Service
The projects to be completed with this funding source include new storm drainage infrastructure that is utilized to
separate stormwater runoff out of the existing combined sewer system. CSO separation projects may also upgrade
aging sanitary and combined sewer pipes within the project area based on a condition assesment completed during the
project design.
Sewer separation and storm drain infrastructure upgrades increase the overall system level of service in multiple ways:
The City’s existing combined sewer system in the downtown district experiences capacity issues during intense rainfall
events leading to millions of gallons of CSO overflows being discharged into the Harbor during a typical year leading to
water quality degradation and public health concerns. Sewer separation projects reduce wet weather flow rates in the
combined sewer system, resulting in decreased CSO volumes discharging into the harbor.
New storm drain systems are typically designed to convey 25-Year storm events using the most currently available
rainfall data. This design standard increases overall stormwater system capacity and reduces the risk of system flooding
during severe events while also addressing the impacts of increasing precipitation rates brought on by climate change.
As part of the City's CSO consent agreement with the EPA, the City is restricted from allowing new sanitary sewer inputs
into the combined sewer system without removing or mitigating wet weather from the combined system to offset the
impact of the new sanitary sewer inputs added to the system as part of development/redevelopment projects.
Removing stormwater from the combined sewer system as part of sewer separations projects identified in the water
resources IP and CSO LTCP is one way of offsetting the impacts of development projects. Continuing this separation
work to reduce flows in the combined sewer is a critical component of the City achieving its long term housing
development goals in a sustainable way.
c. Equitable Community Investment
The intent of CSO separation is to comply with the City's CSO permits and LTCP and improve the water quality of
Portland's receiving waters which benefits all community members.
d. Sustainability and Climate Action
Sewer separation projects are designed to increase overall system wide capacity of the storm sewer system by removing
and diverting stormwater from the overtaxed combined sewers into a new dedicated separated stormwater system
designed based on the most currently available rainfall data. This helps mitigate systemwide flooding during extreme
precipitation events.
Sewer separation projects also help increase system resilience from a water quality standpoint by removing excess water
from the combined sewer system thus leading to fewer combined sewer overflows into Portland's receiving waters,
sanitary sewer overflows into City streets and system backups into private residences. Increasing rainfall intensities
have further burdened the combined sewer system over the years, so it’s critical for the City to keep separating its sewer
systems to offset the impacts of climate change. This is in direct alignment with One Climate Future: Climate Resilience
Section # 4.
e. Local Funding Optimization
The Center Street Phase # 2 sewer separation project will be completed at the conclusion of the Phase #1
Commercial/Fish Pier Storm Drain outfall project which received a $3.6 million dollar grant from the Maine DOT's Maine

CSO- Downtown District Sewer Separation 1
Impacts to operating budget:
Sewer Separation projects reduce wet weather flows in the City's combined sewer system which can provide capacity
relief for the existing combined system potentially leading to few sanitary sewer overflows into the street, sewer back
up and street flooding. Water Resources operations staff is required to respond when these events occur, so
decreasing the frequency should reduce the operational burden during rain events in this sewershed area.
f. Project Readiness
Construction Funding Request:
The Center Street Separation Phase # 2 is currently progressing towards 90% design. The project has been combined
with a transportation project to construct a mini-roundabout at Gorham's corner. At this time, design is anticipated to
be completed for both projects by 2/1/2026. The current goal is to advertise the project for bidding during the summer
months of 2026 with the intention of starting construction in the fall of 2026 or spring of 2027. Since this project is
being combined with the transportation project, it is imperative that the general fund transportation project also
receives funding as part of this CIP cycle so the projects can be completed together.

Criteria Justification
Rank %
a. Legal Compliance and Risk to Health, Safety and Environment
This project is located in the Dole Brook watershed.
Dole Brook is a 1.6-mile stream located in Portland, Maine. The stream is a small tributary of the Presumpscot River In
total the Dole Brook watershed covers 896 Acres in Portland.
Dole Brook is subject to the Maine Impervious Cover TMDL for Impaired Streams, which identifies untreated and
unmanaged stormwater runoff from the watershed’s large areas of residential, commercial and industrial development
as the cause of the brook not meeting Maine Water Quality Standards. The TMDL profile states “This impairment is
associated with a variety of pollutants in urban stormwater as well as erosion, habitat loss and unstable stream banks
caused by excessive amounts of runoff.”
Completing this project is a regulatory requirement as part of the City's stormwater management plan and MS4 Permit.
The permit stipulates that this project is required to be completed by July 1, 2025.
b. Asset Condition and Level of Service
The Palmer Avenue detention basin is a stormwater basin which was installed as part of a subdivision development
known as the Deering Run subdivision in the 1980’s. This basin provides stormwater management for nearly 33 acres of
developed area within the subdivision. The detention basin was installed on City owned property and appears to have
been designed to control peak rates of stormwater runoff to meet the State of Maine development flooding standard in
place at that time but does not appear to provide significant water quality benefits such as pollution filtration and
stream channel protection. The retrofit being considered as part of this project will optimize the existing basin to
provide water quality benefits aimed at helping restore the overall water quality of Dole Brook.
c. Equitable Community Investment
Stormwater runoff can carry harmful pollutants, such as oil, heavy metals, and bacteria, into local water bodies, posing
risks to public health. Communities with insufficient stormwater systems may face higher exposure to these pollutants,
which can lead to increased rates of waterborne illnesses and other health challenges. Retrofit projects that install green
infrastructure—like rain gardens, bioswales, gravel wetlands and permeable pavements—reduce pollutant loads and
protect water sources. Improved water quality enhances the overall health and well-being of residents.
d. Sustainability and Climate Action
This project is primarily geared towards water quality improvements within the Dole Brook and Presumpscot River
watersheds. Increasing precipitation rates brought on by climate change increase the likelihood of pollution entering
into the waterways as a result of increased stormwater runoff. Water quality retrofit projects such as this project will
help offset the impacts of climate change.
The citywide expansion of Green Infrastructure is a key goal of the City's climate action plan: One Climate Future.
Climate Resiliency Strategy 4.2 sets a goal of treating 15% of the City's impervious surfaces with Green Infrastructure by
2050. Funding this project will help the City achieve this goal.
e. Local Funding Optimization
City Council has previously approved $695,000 of stormwater enterprise CIP funding to complete this project. Approval
of this CIP request will eliminate the project funding gap and allow the City to move this project towards completion.

Criteria Justification
Rank %
a. Legal Compliance and Risk to Health, Safety and Environment
Portland’s General Permit for the Discharge of Stormwater from Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer
Systems (MS4) approved in 2022 requires the City to reduce the discharge of stormwater pollution to
Waters of the State of Maine (and United States) to the maximum extent practicable. The MS4 General
Permit requires the City to implement six Minimum Control Measures to effectively reduce stormwater
pollution. Minimum Control Measure (MCM) 6, Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping for Municipal
Operations, focuses on proper management of facilities, operations and infrastructure, including
municipal storm drains and stormwater management systems, so that they minimize the discharge of
stormwater pollution and function as intended. Portland’s Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, which
specifies how the City will meet the requirements of the Permit, lists inspection, maintenance and
upgrade of the municipal storm drain and stormwater management systems as a priority under MCM 6.
In addition, Minimum Control Measure 3, Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Program, requires
inspection of the MS4 and stormwater management systems that might result in the need for
maintenance, repairs or upgrades to these systems.
b. Asset Condition and Level of Service
This funding will be aimed at repairing, rehabilitating and improving the City's existing stormwater collection system to
repair defective or failing assets within the existing system. Identifying and completing these improvements will help
ensure that the system provides an adequate level of stormwater service into the future. Some of the City's stormwater
assets are 50+ years old and have reached the end of their typical service life. Projects completed with this funding will
aim at extending the useful life of these assets. It's anticipated that proactively completing stormwater collection
system improvements projects with this funding will reduce future system capital costs the City would incur should
these efforts not be prioritized by the City.
c. Equitable Community Investment
This funding aims to address city wide deficiencies of the stormwater system. The intent is to select projects based on
overall risk and criticality to the City. While the City doesn’t currently have a program in place to factor equitable
community investment considerations into stormwater capital project programming, the concurrent development of a
Stormwater Capacity, Management, Operations, and Maintenance (CMOM) program could factor this into future capital
spending decisions.
This dedicated funding source also creates and maintains a clear capital funding source for stormwater system
improvement projects. This allows Water Resources to address system wide stormwater issues which can help inform
and demonstrate how the City is spending stormwater service charge revenue effectively to make community wide
improvements.
d. Sustainability and Climate Action
Portions of this funding will be used to model and evaluate the City's culverts and closed storm drain systems and then
carry out improvement projects as informed by the modeling and evaluation efforts. This is in direct alignment with One
Climate Future Climate Resilience CR section # 4 - Resilient Infrastructure Systems. This annual funding source will help
the City create a comprehensive asset management program for its stormwater system which is a direct goal of the One
Climate Future Plan. This funding source, coupled with Water Resources efforts to create a stormwater CMOM plan will
help the City achieve this critical goal of the OCF Plan.
e. Local Funding Optimization
The intent of this funding source is to repair, rehabilitate and improve the City’s existing stormwater system.
Completing these projects should result in an overall reduction of operational and professional staff involvement in
maintaining and operating the existing assets in the long term.
f. Project Readiness
The City has recently awarded a 3 year neighborhood drainage and small sewer repair project system contract as of
December 2025. The first year of the project will utilize existing CIP funds, but the intent is to add similarly scoped
projects for a period of two additional years which will require this funding source to be approved on an annual basis.
The City has also identified and prioritized the evaluation and rehabilitation design of two culverts within the system.
Replacements for these culverts are currently under design by Gorrill Palmer. The design of these two projects is
anticipated to be completed in the spring of 2026.

Project Description
Combined Sewer Separation Project on Ludlow Street, from Caldwell Street to Columbia Street, to remove stormwater
from the combined sewer system near Deering High School. The new storm drain will extend down Columbia Street and
connect to the existing separated storm drain system in Brighton Avenue.
The project will include:
Green Infrastructure for stormwater treatment
Roadway drainage improvements along Ludlow Street
Sidewalk improvements (separate General Fund request)
Paving improvements (separate General Fund request
Design funding in FY 27
Construction Funding will be required in FY 28
Project Justification
Water Resources Integrated Plan: Sewer Separation Strategy:
The City is currently updating the India Street Pump Station combined sewer model to help determine the next phase of
major CSO projects within the sewershed. This effort has identified that a significant amount of stormwater runoff in the
vicinity of Deering High School remains connected to the combined sewer system and contributes to CSO activity at CSO
Loca on #33 (Fore River Pump Sta on). The City’s Long-Term Control Plan originally iden fied the need to construct a 5
MG CSO storage tank at the Fore River Pump Station to prevent overflows into the Fore River. However, years of sewer
separation work have substantially reduced both CSO volume and frequency at this location. The current modeling effort
will assess whether this major tank investment is s ll necessary. Furthermore, the City’s Transporta on Division has
expressed a strong desire to rebuild sidewalks, address drainage issues, and repave Ludlow Street between Woodford
Street and Columbia Street to correct significant pavement and sidewalk deficiencies in this high-pedestrian, high-traffic
corridor adjacent to the Deering High School athletic complex. As part of the drainage design, the City will also evaluate
opportunities to incorporate Green Infrastructure, aligning with key goals of the Water Resources Integrated Plan and One
Climate Future to expand the use of Green Infrastructure citywide. It is the City’s inten on for DPW Transporta on and
Water Resources to coordinate efforts so that sewer separation work can be completed alongside needed pavement and
sidewalk improvements. Completing this sewer separation project would remove one of the largest remaining drainage
areas still connected to the combined system within this sewershed, supporting the City’s goal of eliminating the need for
a CSO tank at the Fore River Pump Station.

Libbytown Flooding Mitigation 1
Criteria Justification
Rank %
a. Legal Compliance and Risk to Health, Safety and Environment
Park Avenue near Hood Dairy is served by an undersized combined sewer system that cannot manage heavy rainfall,
resulting in roadway flooding, safety hazards, and increased stormwater inflow that contributes to CSOs into Back Cove.
This project will complete a flood-mitigation study and conceptual design to evaluate solutions such as a large-diameter
stormwater outfall or a new stormwater pump station. These improvements support the City’s Long-Term CSO Control
Plan, regulatory compliance, and the One Climate Future goals by reducing overflows, improving water quality, and
enhancing resilience to more frequent and intense storm events. The project will improve public safety, reduce
environmental impacts, and strengthen the City’s ability to meet water-quality and stormwater management
requirements.
b. Asset Condition and Level of Service
The combined sewer system in the Libbytown area is undersized for current and future rainfall conditions, as
demonstrated by recurrent flooding on Park Avenue. The drainage system has exceeded its intended level of service and
lacks sufficient capacity during major storm events. This project will evaluate and design a dedicated stormwater
conveyance system to provide significant combined sewer separation, improving hydraulic performance, reducing CSO
discharges to Back Cove, and increasing system reliability. These upgrades align with One Climate Future goals to
strengthen municipal infrastructure for extreme weather and future climate conditions.
c. Equitable Community Investment
Chronic flooding along Park Avenue creates unsafe conditions for residents, businesses, commuters, and pedestrians,
while CSO discharges contribute to water-quality impacts that affect community access to clean waterways. This project
supports One Climate Future’s equity goals by reducing climate vulnerability in a diverse, mixed-use neighborhood and
ensuring reliable, resilient infrastructure. Reducing CSOs to Back Cove also improves environmental quality for the
broader public.
d. Sustainability and Climate Action
One Climate Future identifies increased precipitation, storm intensity, and infrastructure vulnerability as primary climate
threats. By developing climate-resilient drainage solutions, such as a large outfall pipe, pump station, and potential
green-infrastructure elements, this project helps the City adapt to these conditions. These outcomes directly support
climate mitigation (lower pollution loads) and climate adaptation (infrastructure resilience) goals outlined in the plan.
The investment represents a long-term, climate-aligned enhancement to one of the City’s most vulnerable stormwater
corridors.
e. Local Funding Optimization
This project will utimately be completed in coordination with MaineDOT's Libbytown transportation project which is
intended to be funded through state and federal grant funding. The Maine DOT has indicated they are comitted to
helping solve these drainage issues as part of the overall transportation project but have requested that the City
complete a study and develop a plan that can be combined with the larger project.
f. Project Readiness
DPW intends to release an RFP for this Flooding mitigation study/conceptual design as soon as funding is approved in
2026. It's important to move this initiative because it must be coordinated with MaineDOT’s Libbytown improvements
to ensure that stormwater and combined sewer separation measures can be incorporated efficiently into transportation
upgrades.
g. Department Priority
This project is a top priority for the Water Resources Division because it simultaneously addresses three critical needs:
Chronic flooding and public safety issues, Combined sewer separa on and CSO reduonc , Long-term climate
resilience and infrastructure modernizon. By advancing this work now, the City aligns with the Long-Term CSO
Control Plan, One Climate Future, and upcoming MaineDOT improvements. The project represents a proactive
investment in reliable, climate-ready stormwater infrastructure that protects public health, the environment, and
transportation mobility.

Capisic Brook Watershed Management Action Plan 1
Criteria Justification
Rank %
a. Legal Compliance and Risk to Health, Safety and Environment
Capisic Brook has failed to meet Maine Class C water quality standards since 2002 and is designated an Urban Impaired
Stream (UIS). The watershed’s 33% impervious cover generates high stormwater flows carrying sediment, nutrients,
chloride, E. coli, and toxic pollutants. This project directly supports compliance with: Maine Class C Water Quality
criteria, DEP stormwater and TMDL requirements, and MS4 stormwater permit obligations by engaging in restoration
projects, outfall repairs, habitat improvements, and green stormwater infrastructure projects. These projects will reduce
public health risks associated with degraded water quality by reducing erosion, reducing pollutant loading, and reducing
illicit discharges.
b. Asset Condition and Level of Service
Multiple storm drain outfalls are failing and contributing to severe erosion within the brook. Stream channels are
impaired by straightening, undersized culverts, limited buffer zones, and in-stream obstructions. The project improves
long-term system performance by repairing failing assets, reducing maintenance needs, enhancing stream stability, and
improving the overall level of service of the stormwater system during routine and extreme storm events.
c. Equitable Community Investment
Capisic Brook flows through diverse neighborhoods and adjacent public spaces that directly benefit from improved
water quality, reduced erosion, and more resilient stormwater systems. Investments made under this project deliver
watershed-wide environmental and quality-of-life improvements, particularly to residents living near the brook and
users of local parks and community facilities.
d. Sustainability and Climate Action
Green Stormwater Infrastructure, riparian buffers, and stream restoration strengthen climate resilience by reducing
peak runoff during intense storms, increasing infiltration, and stabilizing natural systems. Vegetated buffers and
restored channels enhance habitat, provide cooling and flood mitigation benefits, and reduce long-term climate-related
infrastructure risks.
e. Local Funding Optimization
Establishing this as a recurring CIP line allows the City to strategically sequence projects from the 10-year watershed
action plan and leverage external funding opportunities. Early investment in design improves competitiveness for state
and federal grants and supports cost-effective delivery of future construction projects.
f. Project Readiness
The 2025 Watershed Management Plan Update and 2023 field assessments clearly document pollutant sources, habitat
stressors, and priority project sites. With defined restoration areas and identified failing outfalls, Water Resources is
positioned to begin design work in 2026, making this project highly ready for implementation in FY 27.
g. Department Priority
Restoring Capisic Brook is a core priority for the Water Resources Division. Implementing the action plan is essential for
protecting water quality, improving habitat, meeting the City’s environmental stewardship goals and complying with
regulatory obligations.

Green Infrastructure 2
Criteria Justification
Rank %
a. Legal Compliance and Risk to Health, Safety and Environment
Expansion of Green Infrastructure to treat and attenuate the impact of impervious surfaces within the City's public
spaces is a key goal of the Water Resources Integrated Plan completed in 2020. It is also a key action goal set forth in
the City's climate action plan: One Climate Future. See section d. below for further information.
Green Infrastructure systems are designed to capture and treat stormwater runoff to remove pollution prior to
discharging into receiving waters around the City. This is done in an effort to improve water quality and to enhance and
protect the City's natural resources. These systems can also be multi-beneficial by providing beautification, traffic
calming and public educational opportunities.
These systems can also be utilized in combined sewer areas to capture, detain or infiltrate stormwater runoff to reduce
wet weather flows into the combined sewer which can help reduce Combined Sewer Overflows in alignment with the
City's CSO Long Term Control Plan.
b. Asset Condition and Level of Service
Installation of new Green Infrastructure systems provide system wide water quality and flooding benefits to the City's
existing storm sewer system. Continuing to add green infrastructure to the system should help protect, enhance and
optimize capacity in the existing system thus ideally extending the useful life of existing system wide assets.
c. Equitable Community Investment
Stormwater runoff can carry harmful pollutants, such as oil, heavy metals, and bacteria, into local water bodies, posing
risks to public health. Communities with insufficient stormwater systems may face higher exposure to these pollutants,
which can lead to increased rates of waterborne illnesses and other health challenges. Retrofit projects that install green
infrastructure—like rain gardens, bioswales, and permeable pavements—reduce pollutant loads and protect water
sources. Improved water quality enhances the overall health and well-being of all residents.
d. Sustainability and Climate Action
The citywide expansion of Green Infrastructure is a key goal of the City's climate action plan: One Climate Future.
Climate Resiliency Strategy 4.2 sets a goal of treating 15% of the City's impervious surfaces with Green Infrastructure by
2050. Continuing to fund this account will help the City achieve this goal. Water Resources has a desire to work with
the City's Sustainability and Planning departments in an effort to develop a long-term citywide Green Infrastructure
Implementation plan to further efforts to achieve this goal.
e. Local Funding Optimization
Green Infrastructure projects can be paired with other City projects as described above which can help optimize a
project's overall benefit to the community.
f. Project Readiness
This funding may also be used for the design and construction of Green Infrastructure associated with the Downtown

Deering Oaks Storm Drain 2
Water Resources
Division Stormwater
ClassificationStormwater Strategic Priority System Expansion
Project Description
Installation of 42" Storm Drain in Deering Oaks Park from State Street to Deering Avenue.
Project Justification
DPW identified a key opportunity to remove a substantial drainage area from the Alms House Combined Sewer in Deering
Oaks Park during the design phase of the Union Branch Project. This watershed includes runoff from Deering Oaks Park,
the Union Branch corridor, and the section of I-295 between Exits 5 and 6. The City secured funding through MaineDOT’s
Infrastructure Adaptation Fund to install new storm drainage as part of the Union Branch project. This new system has
been intentionally configured to receive stormwater from the pathway corridor, a portion of Fitzpatrick Stadium, and I-295
once a separated drainage connection becomes available.
This project includes the design of a new separated storm drain extending through Deering Oaks Park from the City’s large-
diameter storm drain near State Street to the Deering Avenue overpass. Constructing this new line will enable the City to
separate approximately 20-30 acres of watershed area currently draining to the combined sewer system. By tying these
areas into the new storm system being built under the pathway project, the City will significantly reduce combined sewer
flows.
This work directly supports the City’s ongoing efforts to reduce CSOs into Back Cove as part of the Long-Term Control Plan
(LTCP) and represents a major step toward modernizing drainage infrastructure and improving water quality in one of
Portland’s most important public spaces.

Division sewer
ClassificationStormwater Strategic Priority Asset/Infrastructure Preservation
Project Description
This project establishes a dedicated fund to assess and plan improvements to the storm and sewer infrastructure in the
Bayside neighborhood in support of long-term climate adaptation and flood-resiliency initiatives.
Phase 1 will include a feasibility study evaluating the elimination of the Franklin Street Pump Station by installing a new
gravity combined sewer system from Marginal Way to the Northeast Pump Station. This phase will also explore
opportunities to repurpose the existing Franklin Street Pump Station as a stormwater pumping facility to support future
flood mitigation needs in Bayside.
Phase 2 would encompass a comprehensive hydraulic and hydrologic modeling update to inform long-term planning and
decision-making in Bayside. This effort will build on prior planning work, including the 2017 Bayside Adapts report and
previous CSO long term control plans and the Water Resources Integrated Plan and provide an updated technical
foundation for future infrastructure investments.

This project is necessary to support the City’s long-term climate resilience and infrastructure planning efforts in Bayside.
By creating a dedicated fund for technical assessments and modeling, the City can proactively evaluate system
deficiencies, identify cost-effective adaptation strategies, and position future capital projects for success.
Phase 1 will determine whether the Franklin Street Pump Station can be retired by redirecting flows through a new gravity
sewer to the Northeast Pump Station. Eliminating this aging facility would reduce operational and maintenance costs
while simplifying the wastewater collection system. At the same time, evaluating whether the station can be repurposed
as a stormwater pump station provides the City with a strategic opportunity to convert existing infrastructure into a key
flood-mitigation asset for Bayside.
Phase 2 will deliver a comprehensive hydraulic and hydrologic modeling update to guide future decision-making. Building
on the 2017 Bayside Adapts report, this work will provide updated data on system performance under future climate
scenarios, ensuring that the City can plan and implement flood-resilient infrastructure that aligns with long-term climate
adaptation goals.
Together, these efforts will help the City modernize critical infrastructure, enhance neighborhood safety, and ensure
Bayside is better prepared for future climate-driven impacts.

CSO - Ludlow Street (Caldwell to Columbia) Sewer Separation Project 2
Water Resources
Division sewer
ClassificationWastewater Strategic Priority Asset/Infrastructure Preservation
Project Description
Combined Sewer Separation Project on Ludlow Street, from Caldwell Street to Columbia Street, to remove stormwater
from the combined sewer system near Deering High School. The new storm drain will extend down Columbia Street and
connect to the existing separated storm drain system in Brighton Avenue.
The project will include: Green Infrastructure for stormwater treatment, Roadway drainage improvements along Ludlow
Street, Sidewalk improvements (separate General Fund request), Paving improvements (separate General Fund request)
Project Justification
The City is currently updating the India Street Pump Station combined sewer model to help determine the next phase of
major CSO projects within the sewershed. This effort has identified that a significant amount of stormwater runoff in the
vicinity of Deering High School remains connected to the combined sewer system and contributes to CSO activity at CSO
Location #33 (Fore River Pump Station).
The City’s Long-Term Control Plan originally identified the need to construct a 5 MG CSO storage tank at the Fore River
Pump Station to prevent overflows into the Fore River. However, years of sewer separation work have substantially
reduced both CSO volume and frequency at this location. The current modeling effort will assess whether this major tank
investment is still necessary.
Furthermore, the City’s Transportation Division has expressed a strong desire to rebuild sidewalks, address drainage
issues, and repave Ludlow Street between Woodford Street and Columbia Street to correct significant pavement and
sidewalk deficiencies in this high-pedestrian and high-traffic corridor adjacent to the Deering High School athletic complex.
It is the City’s intention for DPW Transportation and Water Resources to coordinate efforts so that sewer separation work
can be completed alongside needed pavement and sidewalk improvements. Completing this sewer separation project
would remove one of the largest remaining drainage areas still connected to the combined system within this sewershed,
supporting the City’s goal of eliminating the need for a CSO tank at the Fore River Pump Station.
