Re: City Manager Recommended Capital Improvement Program




I am pleased to present the recommended Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). It is always a difﬁcult
process due to the large volume of immediate capital needs (estimated to be nearly $60M for FY27
alone), but we have done our best to bring forward recommendations that consider input from
Department Heads, elected ofﬁcials, the Library Director and School Superintendent. The
proposed one-year plan and speciﬁc costs is summarized below. Please note, the CIP will be
presented over the course of multiple meetings, and the Sewer/Stormwater Enterprise Fund
Projects and the two through ﬁve year (FY28-FY31) plan will be presented at the March 5, 2026
Finance Committee meeting:


 Total Total Bond Other Funding
 Projects Appropriation Authorization Sources

 General Fund Projects 75 $30,817,369 $14,690,589 $16,126,780

 Portland Public Schools 7 $3,550,000 $2,500,000 $1,050,000

 Portland Public Library 2 $1,213,541 $0 $1,213,541

 Total 84 $35,580,910 $17,190,589 $18,390,321


As part of the review process, City staff implemented a new criteria-based evaluation process to
more formally evaluate project submissions and serve as the basis for the CIP and be driving
factors in its development. The following criteria were used to review projects submitted by City
departments, excluding Enterprise Funds (i.e., Jetport, Water Resources), Portland Public
Schools, and the Portland Public Library:


 ● Legal Requirements & Public Health, Safety and Environment;
 ● Asset & Infrastructure Preservation and Level of Service;
 ● Equitable Community Investment;
 ● Sustainability and Climate Action;
 ● Local Funding Optimization;
 ● Project Readiness; and
 ● City Department Priority.




 Page 24
The evaluation committee that reviewed project submissions was composed of the two Assistant
City Managers, Finance Director, Acting DEI Director, and Sustainability Director.

The complete list of recommended projects for FY 2027 is attached as Attachment A. The
following is a summary of those recommendations.

Financial Capacity

We are faced with the ongoing challenge of meeting as many immediate capital needs as possible
without increasing debt service costs for the City related to CIP projects. Each year the City retires
older debt related to past CIP borrowings (debt is typically retired 10-20 years after original
issuance), and therefore we can issue new debt in its place without increasing overall debt service
cost to the City/increasing property taxes related to capital improvement.

The current year’s requests were in excess of $55M when considering all of the needs across the
City, Schools, and Library. The “borrowing target” (i.e. the amount of general obligation bonds
which can be issued in the upcoming fiscal year without a significant impact to general fund debt
service related to capital improvement) was determined to be $17.2M. In addition to our bond
capacity, City staff identified $18.4M in funding available through reallocation of prior year CIP
appropriations from City Council, FEMA reimbursement (for work the City has performed or will
perform related to January 2024 storm damage), TIF funding, Impact Fee funds, Police
Department Asset Forfeiture Funds, and Cruise Ship Infrastructure fees.

Portland Public Schools ($3.6 million)

The proposed CIP includes all but one of the projects recommended by the Portland Public
Schools Board of Education (PPS). These 7 new projects are being recommended via the issuance
of $2.5M in new general obligation bonds as well as $1.1M in other funding sources. The
Superintendent and his facilities staff took on the difficult work of trimming the complete list of
PPS capital requests down to an affordable and manageable number of critical projects. PPS’
recommended projects are anchored to the district’s strategic priorities of providing an
educational environment for students that is “safe, warm and dry.” As part of the City’s general
fund project list, we are also investing in many athletic and recreation facilities with shared use
by the School Department.

Portland Public Library ($1.2 million)

The list of CIP projects recommended for FY 2027 also includes ongoing investment in the
Portland Public Library. The proposed CIP recommends up to $1.2M to continue repairs and
replacement of their air handling units and roof repairs/replacement. Last year’s CIP included
completion of a city-wide facilities master plan and maintenance program. That work is in
progress and aims to include the Portland Public Library facilities in that planning effort in order
to better address and plan for future needs.

General Fund City Projects

The City continues to work through a significant backlog of deferred maintenance and
replacement of vehicles and equipment that have surpassed useful life. The proposed CIP makes
gains on this backlog which will help preserve the levels of service our City Departments provide,
and on which Portland residents rely on and expect.

General Fund City projects are summarized below and organized around project classification
rather than by department. Attachment A includes listings by project classification and by
department.

 ● Facilities Maintenance ($7.1 million)
 The FY 2027 CIP prioritizes projects that reduce life-safety risk and maintain assets and
 facilities in a state of good repair. The proposed facilities maintenance projects include a
 range of critical infrastructure investments aimed at improving safety, efficiency, and
 longevity across municipal buildings. The City operates and maintains 82 buildings
 containing 2.5 million square feet of occupied space, including 33 General Fund city
 buildings, 25 school buildings, 9 fire department facilities, 3 buildings associated with the
 Barron Center, and 3 parking garages. As City staff were evaluating proposed facilities
 maintenance projects, we prioritized projects that were backed by strong supporting
 documentation including asset management plans or facilities inspections reports.

 ● Information Technology ($1.4 million)
 Replacing and updating IT infrastructure ensures the reliability and security of IT
 systems, keeps our public facing operations functioning, and fosters long-term cost
 savings. The proposed CIP for the upcoming year includes $1.1M for the City’s
 Information Technology (IT) infrastructure. Our fantastic IT team continues to save City
 taxpayers money by managing many of our servers, network and IT infrastructure
 in-house versus paying a costly annual fee for outsourcing such services. However, as we
 noted in prior CIP years, we are reaching the end of life for many of our servers and
 switches and must protect the integrity of our systems and servers. Specifically, the CIP
 funds a replacement network hardware, adds new fiber in CityHall and OGW Whale
 Building, completes a citywide security camera consolidation, replaces the citywide door
 access control system, and replaces/upgrades radio network fiber that supports our
 911/dispatch systems.

 ● Island Infrastructure ($150k)
 The proposed FY 2027 CIP builds on previous years’ local and federal funding
 commitments to the islands to respond to significant storm damage. Following the receipt
 of federal FEMA dollars and ongoing work to repair storm damage, this year’s proposed
 local funding resumes a focus on year-to-year regular infrastructure maintenance.

 ● Major Equipment ($910k)
 A top strategic priority of the CIP is to maintain our assets in a state of good repair. Major



 3

 Page 26
 equipment includes items such as backhoes, mowers, forklifts and tractors. These items
 help the City maintain parks, transportation infrastructure, and the municipal fleet. The
 pieces of equipment included in the proposed CIP are items that need to be replaced as the
 current equipment has surpassed its useful life and is in poor condition and costly to
 maintain. The proposed funding for the Fire Department’s request to replace Marine 2
 represents 20% of the estimated total cost and is intended to local match for future grant
 opportunities.

●​ Marine Infrastructure ($900k)
 The proposed CIP invests in the marine infrastructure which supports our working
 waterfront. Key projects include work to rehabilitate and protect 40 year old steel piles
 supporting the Ocean Gateway pier ($350,000), replacing pile jackets at Ocean Gateway
 ($225,000), and replacing a generator at the Portland Ocean Terminal ($325,000).

●​ Minor Equipment ($1.0 million)
 The three minor equipment projects all support the Fire Department and aim to protect
 our first responders and the general public. The requests include the phased replacement
 of Cardiac Monitors ($420,000), replacement of Ambulance Stretchers ($323,019), and the
 phased replacement of department radio communication devices. ($300k).

●​ Municipal Fleet ($4.0 million)
 A top strategic priority of the CIP is to maintain our assets in a state of good repair. There
 are nearly 700 vehicles in the City’s fleet. Out of the 15 proposed projects 14 replace older
 vehicles that have surpassed their useful life or are in poor condition. These replacements
 include continuing a capital reserve ($500,000) for a replacement Fire Department Ladder
 truck and chassis replacements for two ambulances ($610,000), as well as replacing eight
 Police Department patrol vehicles ($464,000). There are numerous vehicle replacement
 needs to support the Departments of Public Works and Parks-Recreation-Facilities
 including dump/plow trucks, cargo vans, and pick-up trucks.

 There are four requests for additional expansion vehicles. The Information Technology
 Department is requesting a passenger vehicle to allow IT technical staff to better serve
 city locations dispersed throughout the City and limit use of personal vehicles. The Health
 and Human Services Department is requesting a passenger van. The Police Department is
 requesting two pick-up trucks with one needed to support the department’s incoming
 marine unit, and the other to support downtown community policing operations. Notably,
 the Police Department’s projects are proposed to be funded with “Asset Forfeiture” dollars
 which is only accessible by the Police Department.

●​ Park Infrastructure ($2.1 million)
 The City’s parks are managed by Portland Parks-Recreation-Facilities Department which
 strives to enhance the quality of life through people, parks, and programming while
 creating lasting memories for the people of Portland and its visitors. To achieve this goal,
 the City needs to maintain its parks so they are safe, accessible, inviting and fun. The



 4

 Page 27
 proposed CIP aims to replace old playground equipment and improve accessibility at the
 Longfellow School Community Playground ($271,000) and East End School ($70,000).

 There are two major parks infrastructure projects focused on Deering Oaks Park including
 lighting improvements ($550,000) and roadway paving along Tennis Court Rd. ($270,000.
 Additionally, the department aims to repair/replace fencing across the city including Back
 Cove Trail, Nason’s Corner Park, Fitzpatrick Stadium, Riverside Recycling, and North
 Deering Park ($450,000).

 Finally, the proposed CIP includes a request for supplemental funding of $500,000 to
 complete the Congress Square Park reconstruction. Planning, redesign, and procurement
 for this project have spanned several years. Based on the final design, the City received a
 single bid that exceeded the previously allocated construction funding. City staff have
 worked with the construction firm to rescope and value-engineer the project to reduce
 costs. Staff are confident that this final allocation will ensure the project can be fully
 completed.

●​ Transportation ($10 million)
 The proposed transportation projects aim to balance roadway infrastructure maintenance
 while building a stronger and safer multimodal transportation system in connection
 with the City’s adopted Vision Zero goals. Many of these projects are supported by state
 and federal grants. Projects are grouped in the following manner to create greater clarity
 on how the City is coordinating and prioritizing transportation investments across
 different strategic needs.

 ○​ Bike-Pedestrian ($5.6 million) - Includes a range of projects that will build
 stronger and safer bicycle-pedestrian infrastructure across the City and especially
 within the identified high-injury network. Specific projects include regular
 sidewalk rehabilitation work, sidewalk/street design improvements on Forest and
 Brighton Avenues, ADA improvements on Congress Street in connection with a
 related project to reconstruct Bramhall Square, and city-wide street lighting study.
 Additionally, City staff recommend consolidating past project areas (e.g., ADA
 upgrades, arterial crossings, traffic calming, and bike-safety) projects into a
 strengthened single Vision Zero project. If funded, staff will develop a concrete
 scope of investments and will regularly update the Sustainability and
 Transportation Committee on progress. Finally, this investment area includes
 local match funding to participate in a state funded effort to plan and design the
 southern leg of the Casco Bay Trail.

 ○​ Multimodal ($3.0 million) - Includes funding to support street design
 improvements to Forest Avenue (Woodfords to Bedford), construction of a
 roundabout at Gorham’s Corner, and reconstruction of Bramhall Square in
 connection with ADA improvements on Congress Street. Additionally, this
 investment area proposes additional funding to complete planning for the



 5

 Page 28
 State-High two way reversion project along with street-sidewalk rehabilitation
 work on York Street.

 ○​ Road Maintenance ($3.2 million) - $1.2M represents local match funding to
 support a MaineDOT project to complete paving work on High Street (Congress
 Square to Park Ave) and Baxter Blvd (Dartmouth Street to Preble St Ext). $2M is
 recommended to support pavement preservation projects on the City’s collector
 and neighborhood streets.

 ○​ Parking Infrastructure ($625k) - The proposed CIP invests in ongoing
 maintenance needs to support the City’s Temple, Spring, and Elm Street parking
 garages. Additionally, City staff recommend replacing multispace parking meter
 components to allow pay-by-plate.

 ○​ Traffic Signal Systems ($750k) - The proposed CIP invests in maintenance and
 modernization of the City’s signal systems. Similar to the Vision Zero project
 described above, this project consolidates several past/ongoing traffic signal
 projects into one project. Likewise, City staff will be advancing signal system
 upgrades in conjunction with Vision Zero priorities.

I look forward to discussing the recommended projects and funding sources in more detail at the
February 26, 2026 meeting of the Finance Committee. I will be joined by City staff including
various Department Heads who will assist with the presentation.

Project Description
Repair a failing structural slab and infill two rooms that are below the driveway.

Project Justification
The boiler room ceiling slab is failing and concrete is spalling from the ceiling. The rebar in the slab is corroding, which is
causing rust jacking and poses a safety hazard. There is an old oil tank that is no longer used and should be removed. The
oil tank room along with an adjacent room are both below the parking lot. The structure is failing and rather than repair
the structure, the rooms will be infilled so they are no longer a safety concern.

Central Station Slab Repairs 5

Criteria Justification
 Rank %
a. Legal Compliance and Risk to Health, Safety and Environment
  There are safety concerns with the failing structure that could result in injury.
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.
e. Local Funding Optimization
  The department has not secured any non-municipal funding for this project.

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
 $0.00 $0.00 $550 per sqaure foot.

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.
f. Project Readiness
 The first phase in the project would be a high level design study.
g. Department Priority
 This is #8 on the Fire Department's list.

Project Description
Ongoing exterior envelope repairs to all fire stations. Includes masonary repairs and window and door replacements.

Project Justification
The facilities are at a point where we were spending operating funds to address exterior maintenance repairs which are
greater than the operating budget can handle. Making this an ongoing request will ensure that the exterior envelopes of
all fire stations are being maintained properly.

There is evidence of brick spalling due to failed mortar joints allowing moisture in the wall, freeze/thaw action is causing
the mortar and brick to fail. All stations need "exterior maintenance" which will prevent much larger projects in the near
future. There are safety concerns with concrete falling from the building if this work is not done.

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 42
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
 installments. Invoices will be issued monthly as work is performed.
g. Department Priority
 The elevator is an essential building asset for the health, safety, and welfare of both patients and staff at the Barron
 Center. The project is ranked as a number 1 priority for 2027 as a result of the high exposure to safety risks for patients
 and the potential high cost for interim emergency measures that would be necessary if an elevator failure should occur.

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.
g. Department Priority
 The paving project is an essential asset for the health, safety, and welfare of staff (indirectly patients) at the Barron
 Center. The project is ranked as a number 2 priority for 2027 as a result of the high exposure to safety and the
 continuing deterioration of the parking lots.

Rear Patio Replacement - Barron Center 3

Barron Center
Division Environmental Services
Classification Facilities Strategic Priority Asset/Infrastructure Preservation
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.

Rear Patio Replacement - Barron Center 3

Criteria Justification
 Rank %
a. Legal Compliance and Risk to Health, Safety and Environment
  The patio area at the Barron Center is required for health, safety, and legal/regulatory compliance for skilled nursing
  facilities in Maine. The patio area is an essential part to the Barron Center operational needs for the patients as well as
  for staff safety. Completion of the patio project is very important for compliance and risk in regard to both patient and
  staff safety and well being. 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. As noted earlier, 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 area is also designated as an area of emergency egress. As a result, both for safety and legal liability, the areas of
  deterioration need to be addressed.
b. Asset Condition and Level of Service
  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 slopes down and away from the Barron Center building. There are cracks in the
  concrete and the surface area is uneven due to patchwork of the concrete cracks. Staff and visitors have complained
  about tripping hazards
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

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
  buildings, with a focus that continues improvement and retro-fit projects.

  A new energy efficient patio area 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.
f. Project Readiness
 Engineering and vendor support is being requested. The Barron Center is in the process of gathering estimates for
 project costs.
g. Department Priority
 The Barron Center rear patio area is an essential building asset for the health, safety, and welfare of both patients and
 staff at the Barron Center. The project is ranked as a number 3 priority for 2027 as a result of the exposure to safety.

City Hall/Merrill Boiler replacement 1

Public Buildings and Waterfront
Division City Hall
Classification Facilities Strategic Priority Asset/Infrastructure Preservation
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
and obsolete.
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.

a. Legal Compliance and Risk to Health, Safety and Environment
  Both boilers are obsolete due to their age. Parts are no longer being manufactured. If the project is delayed for another
  year or two we run the risk of one or both boilers going down without parts to fix them. 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. This will greatly affect both City Hall and Merrill
b. Asset Condition and Level of Service
  The existing system is beyond its useful life and parts are obsolete. This system does not meet basic level of service and
  is starting to fail. Boilers useful life is about 30 years. Both boilers are close to double that.
c. Equitable Community Investment
  NA
d. Sustainability and Climate Action
  Newer boilers are more energy efficient and would use less fuel to operate. By installing 3 smaller boilers instead of 2 we
  would use less engergy to heat the building during the shoulder seasons of spring and fall.

Paint Dome Ceiling and Replace Sprinkler Heads 3

Public Buildings and Waterfront
Division Merrill
Classification Facilities Strategic Priority Asset/Infrastructure Preservation
Project Description
Replace recalled sprinkler heads in the barrel ceiling of the auditorium. Set up staging to patch and paint the ceiling and
walls. Replace lighting as necessary
Project Justification
The interior of the building hasn't been painted in 20 years. The walls are chipping and flaking which falls onto patrons
during shows. This is a historic building that needs regular upkeep. This will require installing staging to perform work on
the ceiling, sprinklers and alarm systems.
At that time all work should be completed.
The sprinkler heads have been recalled and need to be replaced. I find this is a common problem for this industry, in most
cases they would simply be replaced. It's not that simple at Merrill. This is why I suggest this project be folded in with
ceiling repair and painting.
*All other recalled sprinkler heads have been replaced as of 2018

Criteria Justification
 Rank %
a. Legal Compliance and Risk to Health, Safety and Environment
  These units heat the field house of the Expo. 2 of the 4 units are currently down and in need of replacement due to the
  age of them. If we have one more unit go down then the space will not be able to heat with just one unit. These need
  to be replaced ASAP as they are the only source of heat for the space
b. Asset Condition and Level of Service
  These are 1960's era HV units. 2 of the 4 units have failed over the past 2 years and the other 2 are in fair to poor
  condition due to the unavailablilty of replacement parts. This is a large venue that is used almost daily for events. If
  these units are not replaced it could mean the closure of the expo to events during the winter months.
c. Equitable Community Investment

Court Resurfacing - Various (DHS Tennis, Reiche Community School, Pleasant St, Taylor St) 17

Parks Recreation and Facilities
Division Athletic Facilities
Classification Facilities Strategic Priority Asset/Infrastructure Preservation
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.

a. Legal Compliance and Risk to Health, Safety and Environment
  The deteriorating courts serve to support tennis, pickleball and basketball players. Allowing the courts to continue as is
  without crack repair will increase safety risks while using the court.
b. Asset Condition and Level of Service
  In its current state, all of the courts are experiencing pavement cracking from minor spots to court long cracks to major
  heaving. As the pavement cracks continue to deepen, it compromises the playability and safety of using the courts.
  Lastly, the basketball courts need to be sealcoated to protect its asphalt base from moisture and harsh winter
  conditions. In these locations, the courts run the risk of forming deeper cracks and compromising play.
c. Equitable Community Investment
  These various courts serve the entire Portland community with diverse court programming and access to playing all year

e. Local Funding Optimization
  This project does not have any non-municipal funding incorporated into it. Waiting to update this court in poor
  condition would compromise the safety and performance of using the various courts should any further cracking or
  heaving occur.
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. This project would be able to be completed within a late

Fitzpatrick Track Resurfacing 7

Parks Recreation and Facilities
Division Athletic Facilities
Classification Facilities Strategic Priority Asset/Infrastructure Preservation
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.

Fitzpatrick Track Resurfacing 7

Criteria Justification
 Rank %
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.

Phase 2 - Detailed Space Needs Analysis and Site Selection for new Police Department 1
Headquarters.
Police Department
Division Police Administration
Classification Facilities 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).

Networking Hardware Replacement - Wired, WiFi and Infrastructure 1

Information Technology
Division Inform Tech Administration
Classification Equipment 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.

Criteria Justification
 Rank %
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,
 Page 76
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.

e. Local Funding Optimization
  None
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.

New Fiber in CityHall and OGW Whale Building 4

Information Technology
Division Inform Tech Administration
Classification Equipment 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 78
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.

New Fiber in CityHall and OGW Whale Building 4

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 81
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.
 Page 82
Project Title ID 278708 Dept Ranking
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.

Classification Equipment 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.

Criteria Justification
 Rank %
a. Legal Compliance and Risk to Health, Safety and Environment
  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

  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,

Citywide Access Control System Replacement 6

Information Technology
Division Inform Tech Administration
Classification Equipment Strategic Priority Asset/Infrastructure Preservation
Project Description
This project proposes the replacement of the City’s aging and unsupported Lenel access control system with the Gallagher
Command Centre platform. The project will modernize access control citywide, enhancing physical security, improving
system management, and adding new features such as mobile credentialing and integrated panic button capabilities. The
system supports all existing City facilities currently using Lenel and will leverage existing infrastructure such as badge
readers and door hardware.
Project Justification
The current Lenel system has been out of manufacturer support for several years, creating operational and cybersecurity
risks. The vendor has requested retroactive support payments totaling over $100,000 to bring the system under coverage.
Additionally, the current system lacks modern features and scalability. Replacing Lenel with Gallagher allows the City to
maintain continuity of access control without paying punitive support costs, while improving security posture, system
performance, and administrative efficiency.

Fireboat Replacement - Marine 2 1

Fire Department
Division Field Operations
Classification Vehicles 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.

Operating Budget Impact
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.

Fireboat Replacement - Marine 2 1

Criteria Justification
 Rank %
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 94
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.

Radio Network Fiber Service Level Change and Replacement/Upgrades at existing Radio Network 1
Sites
Police Department
Division Dispatch
Classification Equipment 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.

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.

Stryker Stretcher Replacement 4

Fire Department
Division Field Operations
Classification Equipment 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.

Stryker Stretcher Replacement 4
  The Fire Department's request for $384,320 for 9 new stretchers in the FY24 Assistance to Firefighters Grant was largely
  unfunded. Due to the high volume of nationwide requests and limited remaining funds, the department was only
  awarded $34,515.99.

  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

  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.

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.
e. Local Funding Optimization
  In April 2025, the Fire Department, through Assistant Chief Goodall, sought $2,054,450 in Federal Government
  Congressional Directed Spending to replace the aging radios in the Fire and Police Departments. Requests were
  submitted to both Senator Susan Collins and Representative Chellie Pingree. The request to Representative Pingree was
  denied, and no response was ever received from Senator Collins. We do not have a secured source of external funding
  for this project.

Van Replacement 4

Barron Center
Division Environmental Services
Classification Vehicles Strategic Priority Asset/Infrastructure Preservation
Project Description
Due to constant usage for the Barron Center Van, a new Van (vehicle) is necessary.

Van # 1017 (Plate # 427-674 & Vin # 2C4RDGBG8DR506444) Dodge Caravan was purchased in 2014 and needs
replacement. The vehicle is almost 12 years old.

A second Van will also need replacement in the near future. Van # 3904 (Plate # 426-141 & Vin # 2C4RDGBOGR38533)
Dodge Grand Caravan was purchased in 2016 and will need replacement. The vehicle is almost 10 years old.
Project Justification
Due to constant usage of the Barron Center Van(s), a new Van (vehicle) is necessary. The normal depreciable life of a
vehcle is 6 years. The Barron Center has surpassed the depreciable life of the current vehicle. As a result of the aged
condition of the current vehicle, the operating repairs for the current vehicle repairs are becoming substantial. It will no
longer be economical to maintain an oler vehicle(s). The estimated cost for a new vehicle is approximately $75,000.

The Van(s) at the Barron Center are required for health, safety, and legal/regulatory compliance for skilled nursing facilities
in Maine. The van(s) at the Barron Center need to be ADA compliant. The Barron Center ADA compliant Van is also being
used by Social Services for its homeless population when the van is available. As an example, 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 a Barron Center ADA compliant Van.
However, the Barron Center MUST have the ADA van available during the day hours.

The Van(s) are an essential part to the Barron Center operational needs for the patients as well as for staff safety. Vans are
very important for compliance and risk in regard to both patient and staff safety and well being. 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. Vans are necessary for both life enrichment and nursing services functions. Transportation that is
not safe 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. As a result, it is important that all the Barron Center Vans be operation and
free from potential breakdowns as well as be ADA compliant.

Two of the Barron Center Vans are over (10) ten years old as follows:
Van # 1017 (Plate # 427-674 & Vin # 2C4RDGBG8DR506444) Dodge Caravan was purchased in 2014 and needs
replacement. The vehicle is almost 12 years old and the only van that is ADA compliant.

A second Van will also need replacement in the near future. Van # 3904 (Plate # 426-141 & Vin # 2C4RDGBOGR38533)
Dodge Grand Caravan was purchased in 2016 and will need replacement. The vehicle is almost 10 years old and is NOT

a. Legal Compliance and Risk to Health, Safety and Environment
  The Vans at the Barron Center is required for health, safety, and legal/regulatory compliance for skilled nursing facilities
  in Maine. The Vans are an essential part to the Barron Center operational needs for the patients as well as for staff
  safety. Vans are very important for compliance and risk in regard to both patient and staff safety and well being. 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. Vans are necessary for both life enrichment and nursing services functions.
  Transportation that is not safe may pose a safety hazard especially for those individuals who are disabled and have
  difficulty walking (creating a fall risk) as well as those unable to walk and using wheelchairs. There will be a need for a
  vehicle ramp. In addition, it is important that all the Barron Center Vans be operation and free from potential
  breakdowns.

  As noted earlier in the Justification portion and as an example, in order to meet Barron Center needs, an ADA compliant
  Van is necessary. The Barron Center ADA compliant Van is also being used by Social Services for its homeless population
  when the van is available. As an example, 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 a Barron Center ADA compliant Van.

  In addition, the Barron Center Van(s) should 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
  As noted, two of the Barron Center Vans are over (10) ten years old as follows:
  Van # 1017 (Plate # 427-674 & Vin # 2C4RDGBG8DR506444) Dodge Caravan was purchased in 2014 and needs
  replacement. The vehicle is almost 12 years old.
  A second Van will also need replacement in the near future. Van # 3904 (Plate # 426-141 & Vin # 2C4RDGBOGR38533)
  Dodge Grand Caravan was purchased in 2016 and will need replacement. The vehicle is almost 10 years old and NOT
  ADA compliant. As a result of the aging of both Barron Center vans, there is no reliance on a “back-up van”.

  Due to constant usage for the Barron Center van(s), a new vehicle(s) is (are) necessary. The normal depreciable life of a
  vehicle is 6 years. The Barron Center has surpassed the depreciable life of the current vehicle. As a result of the aged
  condition of the current vehicle, the operating repairs for the current vehicle repairs will become substantial in FY 2026
  and FY 2027. A new transmission was placed in Van # 1017 due to deterioration of the vehicle. It is no longer cost
  effective to continue expensing expensive parts on a vehicle over 10 years old.
  Operationally, it is no longer economical to maintain older vehicles especially combined with the risk of breakdowns
  with frail and elderly patients. The estimated cost for a new vehicle is approximately $75,000. The estimate includes
  necessary ramp for the disabled (also necessary for the elderly disabled).
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
 Page 131
Project Title ID 278853 Dept Ranking
Van Replacement 4
  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 more
  energy efficient vehicles, with a focus that continues improvement and retro-fit projects.

  A new energy efficient van(s) 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.
f. Project Readiness
 Based on purchasing and fleet vehicles support, Barron Center would be able to quickly generate estimates for vehicle
 replacement and ultimate purchase.
g. Department Priority
 The Van asset for the health, safety, and welfare of both patients and staff at the Barron Center. The project is ranked as
 a number 4 priority for 2027 as a result of the high exposure to safety, but compared to other necessary projects.

Van-Vehicle passenger van for the Social Services Outreach Team 1

Social Services
Division Social Services Administration
Classification Vehicle - 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

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

  •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.
d. Sustainability and Climate Action
  Investment in a newer more climate sustainable vehicle supports One Climate Future.
e. Local Funding Optimization

This request is for the purchase of a small to mid-sized SUV for use by the IT Department. The vehicle will support IT’s
operational needs, including equipment deliveries, on-site troubleshooting across City buildings, and emergency response
for network or system outages. The vehicle will be part of the City's fleet and primarily serve routes between City Hall,
Parks and Recreation, Public Safety, Public Works, and other City facilities.
Project Justification
The IT Department currently lacks a dedicated vehicle and relies on personal vehicles for official business. This limits

 This project is ranked tenth because it addresses a convenience and efficiency need rather than a critical operational or
 security requirement. IT currently relies on personal vehicles for official City business, which can limit responsiveness.
 Acquiring a dedicated department vehicle, potentially a used City vehicle, would improve service delivery and reduce
 reliance on staff vehicles.

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.

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.

East End School Playground Design & Construction 12

Parks Recreation and Facilities
Division Parks
Classification Equipment 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.

East End School Playground Design & Construction 12

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
  underperforming from a safety, access and user experience standpoint.
c. Equitable Community Investment
  East End School Playground serves the residents of the East End neighborhood, East End Community School, PRF
  Afterschool and Learning Works.
d. Sustainability and Climate Action
  This project will restore the East End Community School playground by replacing end-of-life equipment and failing
  surfacing with sustainably sourced play structures and integrated green infrastructure, including permeable surfacing,
  native plantings, and small-scale stormwater features that reduce runoff and heat impacts. The renovated playground
  will provide a safe, accessible, and durable play environment for students and the surrounding neighborhood while
  advancing the City of Portland’s One Climate Future goals for resilience, emissions reduction, and environmental
  education. Designed as both a community asset and an outdoor learning space, the project will support climate literacy
  through interpretive elements and reduce long-term maintenance needs through durable materials and improved site
  drainage.
e. Local Funding Optimization
  No additional funding has or will be secured for this project.
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 12 out of 20. The city is responsible for replacing school playgrounds
 and East End school playground is now over 15 years old. A new design that encourages natural play, active features,

Deering Oaks Lighting Improvements 16

Parks Recreation and Facilities
Division Athletic Facilities
Classification Equipment 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 176
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.

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

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

Congress Square Park 1

Planning and Urban Development
Division Long Range Planning
Classification Parks, Fields, Trails Strategic Priority Asset/Infrastructure Preservation
Project Description
The allocated CIP money will fund construction of Phase B of the Congress Square Park Redesign. The project will
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.

Classification Transportation Strategic Priority Asset/Infrastructure Preservation
Project Description
As part of the PACTS Urban Partnership Initiative, the city is slated to reconstruct the sidewalks on Brighton Ave Sidewalk
between Walton St and Morrill Street. Half of project costs will be paid by PACTS however this is a 50-50 funding match for
the City of Portland, so funding needs to be secured to ensure completion of this project.
Project Justification
Projects where PACTS matches half of the project cost are economical ways to bring poor condition infrastructure up to
compliance. This project is primarily a pedestrian accessibility project that will improve both sides of an approximately
0.50 mile long corridor along Brighton Avenue.
This project abuts MaineHealth Brighton Campus, a community garden, Dougherty Field, Kiwanis Community Pool, as well
as several local businesses. The road has an AADT of 15,000 vehicles a day making it an extremely busy road that can be
hazardous to pedestrians. The portion of Brighton Avenue between Douglass St and St John St (captured within the scope
of this project) is classified as a High Crash Location. In the past ten years, two pedestrians were struck and injured along
this section of Brighton Avenue. As such, this corridor is classified as a Critical Safety Corridor in GPCOG’s Vision Zero
mapping.
Currently there are long stretches of sidewalk in this location that are in very poor condition, most notably the sections of
sidewalk adjacent to several businesses. This project will improve conditions for all transportation mode users by creating
ADA-compliant sidewalks, ramps and mid-block crossings improving the pedestrian corridor. The existing condition of
these sidewalks are rated very poorly according to a 2019 survey of the City of Portland’s sidewalks.

Criteria Justification
 Rank %
a. Legal Compliance and Risk to Health, Safety and Environment
  Updates to ADA ramps and pedestrian access routes (sidewalks) are a legal requirement under the Federal ADA and
  PROWAG laws. Pedestrian safety will be improved by updating the the ramps and sidewalk that runs along Brighton
  Avenue between Whiteny Ave and Williams Street
  This project will not only improve the accessibility and usability of existing pedestrian infrastructure, but it will also
  upgrade one mid-block crossing at Beacon Street and increase pedestrian visibility to drivers on Brighton Avenue.
b. Asset Condition and Level of Service
  The pedestrian access route along this section of Forest Avenue is Poor or Failing with very few sections being
  categorized as Fair.
c. Equitable Community Investment
  This section of Brighton Avenue is in Census Tracts 1700.1, 1500.3,1500.2,2002.1. The percentage of residents within the
  low-moderate income bracket are 74.5% for Census Tract 1700.1, 82.60% for Census Tract 1500.3, 53.7% for Census
  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.

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.

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

Division Engineering
Classification Transportation Strategic Priority Asset/Infrastructure Preservation
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.

Project Description
Example CY2026 projects include: Vaughan Street; Mayer Street; there may be others

Vaughan = $165,000 pavement and sidewalk installation.
Mayer Rd = $150,000 Pavement, underdrain
Project Justification
Water Resource projects are typically funded to allow for costs of replacing City assets that have been disturbed by
construction. As such, additional outcomes dermined by DPW and/or public process sometimes result in costs that are
taken on for transportation purposes specifically. This is most typically done to allow for a more robust street repair or
providing more accessible sidewalk facilities.

Transportation Outcomes in Association with Water Resources Projects 21

Criteria Justification
 Rank %
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
  PROWAG requirements.
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
 minor transportation outcomes to these large projects results in fast turnaround, so projects are ready in an expeditious
 manner.
g. Department Priority
 DPW continues to make street and sidewalk conditions a high priority for safety and compliance reasons.

Outcomes
Public Works
Division Engineering
Classification Transportation 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.

Pedestrian and Urban Scale Street Lighting and Safety Program in Support of Vision Zero 11
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.

Forest Avenue: (Woodford/Revere to Bedford) 16

Public Works
Division Engineering
Classification Transportation Strategic Priority Asset/Infrastructure Preservation
Project Description
Funding request for EPS in FY22
Funding for additional design in FY25
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.

Forest Avenue: (Woodford/Revere to Bedford) 16

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.
f. Project Readiness
 This effort has been through an extensive public input process, with review from GPCOG/PACTS and MaineDOT as well.
 The project will be designed over the winter and should be ready for bid in the late Spring 2026.
g. Department Priority
 DPW considers safety-based adjustments to principal arterials a high priority.

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.

Division Engineering
Classification Transportation 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.

Gorham's Corner Mini Roundabout 3

Criteria Justification
 Rank %
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
  Water District will be doing work here so there will be some cost sharing. We anticipate PWD to be 16% of the total
  project costs.
f. Project Readiness
 A designer is already under contract and has delivered 80% design documents. We anticipate final design to be delivered

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.

Classification Transportation Strategic Priority Asset/Infrastructure Preservation
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.

Classification Transportation Strategic Priority Asset/Infrastructure Preservation
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.

Traffic Signals Upgrade Program 12

Public Works
Division Engineering
Classification Transportation 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.
