The Capital Delivery Department

The Capital Delivery Department is a newly established department that recently transitioned 188 existing positions from Public Works to deliver major bond projects on time and on budget while still working alongside the Public Works Department. This separates major project delivery from routine maintenance, allowing both teams to work more efficiently. The Capital Delivery Department will focus on delivering, communicating, managing, executing and completing new large scale capital projects such as streets, drainage, parks and city facilities. It will also lead planning for future bond programs, which will start running on a four-year schedule instead of the current five-year timeline.

Current 2022-2027 Bond Program

On May 7, 2022, the citizens of San Antonio approved a $1.2 billion General Obligation (GO) Bond Program consisting of six propositions with projects focused on improving streets, sidewalks, drainage, parks and recreation, library and cultural facilities, public safety facilities and affordable housing. The 2022 GO Bond Program is the largest in the City’s history. These series of projects impact the lives of residents in every part of our City and are vital to keeping up with our growth. The City of San Antonio is focused on ensuring all bond projects and other capital projects are delivered to the community utilizing the most efficient and effective methods from the design stage through construction.
