such as planning, design, and
construction, intended to produce

The Capital Improvements & Transportation (CIT) Office
was created in 2002 within the City Manager’s Office to
centralize, close to the Chief Administrator, the
important work of managing and implementing the City’s
long range capital & transportation improvement program.
Beginning with projects of the $255 million
Homeland
Defense & Neighborhood Improvement Bonds
approved by the voters in 2001, the City’s current
Capital Improvement Program and Multi-year Plan now encompasses over 1100 projects valued at
nearly $675,000,000 for the six year period from 2004 to
2010.
CIT is responsible for the planning,
coordination, implementation, and monitoring of all
construction related capital projects (see definition at
right) in the City of Miami, and for the financial
management of all capital funds. CIT is staffed by architects, engineers,
procurement and public relations specialists, and
financial managers who administer the capital
improvement program working in concert with other City
departments, elected officials, the community, other
governmental agencies and stakeholders. At present, City
employees in CIT are assisted by industry partners,
which are leading private sector firms recognized for
program, production and construction management
expertise.
CIT Office is organized by function into
the following divisions:
