Borough Manager's Transmittal Letter
As required by Section 904 of the State College Home Rule Charter, I am transmitting the proposed 2026-2030
Capital Improvements Plan ("Plan") to the Borough Council. This year's Plan recommends 34 Capital Projects
that total $59.9M over the next ve years, and $38.4M is recommended for 2026. The Plan requires General
Fund contributions of $4.5M in 2026, $3.2M in 2027, $3.4M in 2028, $3M in 2029, and $3M in 2030.
Each year, a ve-year plan is developed and adopted by the Council which includes an assessment of the
conditions of various infrastructure and other critical public assets. This assessment is relied upon to develop a
plan for the logical and systematic improvement of these critical assets.
The plan is a collection of projects that meet the threshold of
scope and cost established by the Capital
Budget. Generally, the plan includes only those items having
a value of $100,000 or higher and an estimated
life of six years or longer. Eligible items include the acquisition of property, purchase of new equipment (not
covered by depreciation previously set aside and funded by the Asset Replacement Fund), major rehabilitation
or replacement of existing facilities or new construction, and consulting fees for special one-time projects.
Projects that maintain infrastructure are included because annual funding for maintenance and improvement
critically affects the sustainability of these assets. A second type of project is new projects that address an
existing problem or condition, including situations involving state or federal government mandates. Funding
for new, innovative projects that enhance the quality of life or improve service-delivery operations is also
included when available and warranted.
This Plan is a reasonable and practical list of projects, and all the projects included should be considered,
limited only by the ability to commit funding. Although attempts to normalize expenses are made, annual
uctuations are typical. The upcoming Annual Budget will be presented for consideration by the Council before
the end of the year and will include the funding for the rst year of the Plan. Modications to the approved Plan
may be made as part of the Annual Budget adoption process.
Each project is awarded points based upon a
scoring system based upon Council's goals and priorities which
is reviewed and conrmed each year prior to the development of the Plan. Each project is also assigned one of
the three
prioritization categories (i.e. "Must Do", "Should Do", and "Could Do") based upon the nature and
characteristics of the project.
MUST DO Meets legal mandate or moves Borough closer into compliance
Eliminates or reduce hazards
SHOULD DO
Advances strategic goals
Improves efciency or productivity
Maintains a standard of service
Supports economic development
COULD DO
Improves service
Facilitates new services
Improves quality of life or aesthetic values
Offers convenience
Over the next several weeks, the Council is asked to review the proposed Plan, conduct a public hearing on July
7, 2025, and consider adoption of the Plan on August 4, 2025, including any changes that may be made during
the review period.

800 mHz Radio Replacement
Overview
Request Owner 	Heather Royer, Executive Assistant - Police
Est. Start Date 	01/01/2026
Est. Completion Date 	12/31/2026
Department 	Police
Type 	Capital Improvement
Description
This project includes the replacement of 800 mHz radios and equipment for the Police Department. Other necessary equipment
includes chargers for the radios and spare parts. Radios are an essential piece of equipment for patrol ofcers. They are used every day
and are the main form of communication for patrol ofcers while on duty. The model selected is the Motorola N70 Portable APX8500.
The current police radios are no longer supported, and parts are available only at "best effort" with no guarantee for replacement parts.
Certain parts more frequently break or wear out, such as the shoulder microphones, batteries, knobs, and speaker microphones. The
radios are items of frequent use in a variety of conditions and settings.
All the police radios were completely replaced in 2014 when the county upgrade was completed. The current models are eleven years
old and are fully depreciated.
The new radio models are compatible with LTE, Wi, Bluetooth, and GPS, and would integrate with the body-worn and in-car cameras
currently used by the department. The Bluetooth functionality would enable automatic recording to start with the body-worn camera if
the emergency button on the radio is activated. From there, the body-worn camera can be live-streamed through the software by an
ofcer at the station for real-time intelligence. With the GPS feature, the location of the ofcer with the emergency would be readily
available to other users. This would signicantly enhance safety.
Other features of the new model radios are extended battery life and Bluetooth compatibility with audio accessories, promoting efcient
communication between rst responders. Additionally, the radios include software and hardware encryption, protecting
communications during daily operations. The N70 model radios combine the best audio possible with sophisticated features in a
rugged design.
Recently, three radios were sent out for repairs. If we hire seven ofcers this summer to bring the department up to full staff, there are
currently not enough portables that work to provide each new ofcer with a radio. When some radios return from repair and other staff
are no longer using their radios, the department may have just enough radios for personnel, leaving us with no spare radios. This is not
ideal since the current police radios have aged to the point that more frequent repair and replacement of parts is needed.
Currently, a Motorola policy requires broken radios to be serviced at the Motorola facility, no longer at a local dealer. There is a minimum
$600 charge just to have a radio evaluated for repair.
Motorola recommends increasing the requested funds by 25% to account for two price increases between now and the time the radios
are purchased. Additionally, there may be tariffs that will affect pricing if the radios are not purchased soon. The attached quote
provides a cost of $653,185.48. Twenty-ve percent more would be $163,296.37 for a total of $816,481.85.
The Asset Replacement Fund includes $450,000 that will be applied to the cost of the radios. The Department also plans to apply for a
grant through the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime & Delinquency (PCCD) to help pay for the radios. It is unknown at this time how
much money is available through the grant and if the Department meets the requirements for the grant.

Description
The fuel island serves the entire Borough Fleet for fueling purposes gasoline and diesel fuel. Currently, the Borough provides fuel services
to the State College Borough Water Authority, and the Centre Region eet vehicles. The fueling island is required to be inspected
annually by a DEP-certied technician. Upon recent inspections, it has been noted the island is in need of repairs to the entire surface
components, such as the island itself, all fueling covers, tank access covers, plumbing, electric conduit etc. Additionally, an internal tank
inspection will be required to assess the internal condition of the existing tanks. If the tanks are found to be in poor condition they will
need to be replaced and this will dramatically increase the cost of this project.

Calder Way Phase III (McAllister to Hetzel)
Overview
Request Owner 	Roger A. Dunlap, Jr., Assistant Borough Manager
Est. Start Date 	04/01/2025
Est. Completion Date 	12/31/2030
Department 	Public Works Sanitary Sewer
Type 	Capital Improvement
Description
The project will be completed in three phases.
Base Phase: Pre-NEPA, Preliminary Engineering, NEPA Clearance, and Update of Action Plan:
In the Base Phase, State College Borough will complete the NEPA review process, ensuring that the Project is in compliance with all
FHWA and federal regulations pertaining to the Project's effect on the environment and health of the Borough's population.
The Base Phase will also complete the updates to the Next Gen Safety and Mobility Plan (Plan). In 2022, the Borough began the process
of developing an Action Plan to address safety and mobility issues. The Plan was developed through an extensive planning process that
included three phases: (1) existing conditions, which included a robust public engagement process that received comments through an
online comment map, public survey, public open house events, and online survey; (2) recommendations; and (3) draft and nal plan.
According to the Plan, most safety concerns in the Borough are along crash corridors, with most injuries occurring in the downtown core
area along Atherton Street, College Avenue, and Beaver Avenue. Other crash corridors include Allen Street, Pugh Street, Park Avenue,
University Drive, and Garner Street. There are also several intersections along Atherton Street, College Avenue, Beaver Avenue,
Easterly/Westerly Parkway, and Allen Street that experience frequent injury crashes. While these areas are identied, the Plan does not
contain a Vision Zero strategy. The Base Phase will complete an addendum to the Plan that addresses the Vision Zero goals.
Option Phase 1: Final Design, Permitting, and Right of Way
Phase 1 will complete the Final Design, Permitting, and Right-of-Way for the proposed improvements. This will include the nal bid and
construction documents, in addition to following the processes to acquire all necessary improvements for the work in the Right-of-Way.
Option Phase 2: Construction, Safety and Infrastructure Improvement along Calder Way: Phase Two (2) will complete the construction of
the proposed improvements. The Project will complete the ongoing work on Calder Way between McAllister Street and Hetzel Street.
The following components are included in the Calder Way scope of construction: Transportation Enhancements, Infrastructure
Upgrades, and Pedestrian Amenities:
Transportation Enhancements
Transportation Enhancements include the repaving of the road surface, and the conversion of the street to be a shared curbless street.
With the new shared street design, the speed limit in Calder Way will be reduced to ten(10) miles per hour. Additionally, the Project will
install ADA ramps and detectable warning devices at the intersections in the Project area. In addition to the ADA improvements at the
intersections, the Project will install high-visibility crosswalks. These improvements will make it easier and safer for pedestrians. In
addition, the Project may include retractable bollards and trafc control implementations to provide the opportunity to provide a safe
space for pedestrians during events and other times when Calder Way needs to be closed to vehicular trafc.
Infrastructure Upgrades
Infrastructure upgrades include the replacement of the water, stormwater, and sewer lines that were installed in the early 1900s. These
lines will be dug up and replaced with modern pipes. In addition, the Project will install conduits to be used in the future for the
installation of below-grade electrical and telecommunication lines. Installing this now prevents the future removal of the transportation
improvements completed in the proposed scope of work.
Pedestrian Amenities
The Project will install pedestrian amenities along Calder Way. These amenities include a below-grade refuse system that moves the
large dumpsters out of the street, allowing for a healthier and more pleasant pedestrian experience. The Project will also install benches,
waste receptacles, bike racks, and planters, creating a welcoming and open space for both pedestrians and cars to share the roadways.

The purpose of this project is to improve path connectivity and active transportation options for residents and visitors through the
construction of paved shared-use paths within existing rights-of-way. On May 4, 2022, a $1.1 million PennDOT Transportation Alternatives
Set Aside (TASA) grant was awarded to the Borough to construct a shared-use path along the south side of Easterly/Westerly Parkway
between Orchard Park bike path and University Drive (less that which was already completed by the State College Area School District as
part of their development plan) and for the design and construction of a shared use path along Blue Course Drive between Whitehall
Road and the Orchard Park bike path. Engineering and design are underway and construction is anticipated to begin in 2025.
Additional funding is necessary for this project to cover the costs of additional ADA ramp work and costs associated with this being a
PennDOT-led project.
