The Capital Development program is defined by Utah State Code 63A-5B-401 as:
A remodeling or site or utility improvement project
A new facility
A purchase of real property if an appropriation is requested and made for the purchase
“Capital Development project” does not include a capital improvement project
As mentioned at the beginning of the chapter, UDOT owns and operates more than 200 buildings; it is imperative that UDOT has a plan on how to prioritize and manage these buildings to ensure they are functional and in a state of good repair.
UDOT funds its own Capital Development program. However, if a project is outside the funding limits of what UDOT can provide, the executive director can choose to submit an application to DFCM. The project will then compete against other state proposed facilities for funding and will be determined by the legislature for final approval.

This prioritization plan looks at the following criteria to evaluate the overall needs and ability of the facility to meet the current and future demand of the facility: Currently a work in progress.
DFCM Capital Development Project Approvals - DFCM’s website lists both approved and requested Capital Improvement and Capital Development Projects. This link will take you to the current approved Capital Development projects from DFCM.
Once a project is selected and approved by the legislature then a project team consisting of DFCM, UDOT, an architect, and a contractor work together to ensure the goals of the project are met.
