TEN-YEAR SURVEY OF CAPITAL OUTLAY AND INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS - 6837

DOF annually surveys departments to determine ten-year needs for state capital outlay and state-funded local infrastructure, by program and fund source. Specific instructions and timetables are issued annually by Budget Letter. Surveys are typically due at the end of summer. Summary results are shared with the Legislature for capital outlay and bond financing planning purposes.

The first five years of capital outlay needs reported on the ten-year survey must match the annual totals and fund source break-out for the department’s five-year capitalized assets plan (Section 6820). However, for most departments the second five years will be based on a general assessment of program need, rather than on specific projects.
