Finance and Administration

Disbursements to construction contractors for the installation or construction of infrastructure assets. Infrastructure assets are long-lived capital assets that normally can be preserved for a significantly greater number of years than most capital assets and are normally stationary in nature. Examples include the following: roads, bridges/culverts, sidewalks/curbs, alleyways, street lighting systems, traffic lights/signs, fire hydrant, drainage systems, gas/electric/fiber optic distribution systems, tunnels and conduit systems, water and sewer systems, dams, wells. Improvements that increase the value by less than $5,000 are coded as maintenance (see account codes 235xx - Maintenance and Repairs). Charges from the Physical Plant and other service activities for construction or improvements to infrastructure are also included. For purchase from proprietary funds see A8140 - Infrastructure.
