MEMORANDUM
TO: Frederick County Board of Supervisors
FROM: Wyatt Pearson, Director of Planning & Development,AICP
DATE: January 16th, 2025
RE: Public Hearing: 2025-2030 Capital Improvements Plan (CIP)
The Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) is a document that consists of a schedule of major
capital expenditures for the County for the ensuing five-year period. The CIP is intended
to assist the Board of Supervisors in preparation of the County budget. In addition to
determining priorities for capital expenditures, the County must also ensure that projects
contained within the CIP conform to the Comprehensive Plan. Specifically, the projects
are reviewed with considerations regarding health, safety, and the general welfare of the
public, and the policies of the Comprehensive Plan. When the CIP is adopted, it becomes
a component of the Comprehensive Plan with the intent of satisfying Virginia Code §
15.2-2232.
The inclusion of projects on the CIP is in no way an indication that Frederick County will
be undertaking these projects. The CIP is strictly advisory; it is intended for use as capital
facilities planning document, not for requesting funding allocations. Once adopted,
project priorities and cost estimates may change throughout the year based on changing
circumstances. It is also possible that projects may not be funded during the year
indicated in the CIP. The CIP is also updated annually, and projects are removed from the
plans as they are completed or as priorities change.
In keeping with changes in recent years, at the direction of the County Administrator,
departments were advised that only projects that could be feasibly funded and started in
the ensuing five-year period were to be included in the plan. The removal of projects
outside of this timeframe resulted in a greatly reduced quantity of projects and total
potential cost to the County. Additionally, Planning staff prepared the plan using ArcGIS
StoryMap to improve the readability of the plan.
CIP Components
The CIP provides project priorities that are submitted by various County Agencies and
tables that outline the projects and cost estimates. Within the tables, columns for each
year show the funding needs that would be requested in the corresponding budget cycle.
The tables are split into three general categories. Table I General County services; Table
2 Transportation; Table 3 Enterprise& External Funds (e.g. Landfill & Airport).

2025-2030 CIP—Public Hearing
January 16th, 2025
Page 2
The CIP includes projects from the following: Schools, Parks and Recreation, Regional
Library, County Administration, Fire and Rescue, Sheriff's Office, Public Safety
Communications, Transportation, Regional Landfill, and the Winchester Regional
Airport.
Background—Discussions
The Comprehensive Plans and Programs Committee (CPPQ discussed the 2025-2030
draft CIP at their meeting on December 16th, 2024. The role of this committee in the CIP
process is to ensure that the various departmental project requests are in conformance
with the Comprehensive Plan. The CPPC agreed the CIP was in conformance with the
Comprehensive Plan and engaged in discussion regarding the potential for funding these
projects without violating the County's debt policies.
The Planning Commission discussed the 2025-2030 draft CIP at their meeting on January
151h, 2025. A Planning Commission member offered objections to the Parks and
Recreation proposal, specifically the recreation center project, and felt the justification
for the project was lacking. Ultimately the CIP was recommended to the Board of
Supervisors for approval with one of the members in attendance objecting.
Conclusion
This item is presented for public hearing, and Staff is seeking a recommendation from the
Planning Commission on the draft 2025-2030 CIP to forward to the Board of
Supervisors.
If adopted, the CIP will become a component of the Comprehensive Plan, which would
satisfy the review requirement of Section 15.2-2232 of the Code of Virginia, which states
that no public facility shall be constructed unless said facility is a"feature shown"within
a jurisdiction's comprehensive plan.
Please contact the Planning Department should you have any questions regarding this
information.

Introduction
Section §15.2-2239 of the Code of Virginia assigns the
responsibility for preparation of plans for capital outlays to
the local Planning Commissions. The Capital Improvement
Plan (CIP) consists of a schedule for major capital
expenditures for the County for the ensuing five years.
The CIP is updated annually. Projects are removed from the
plans as they are completed or as priorities change. The plan
is intended to assist the Board of Supervisors in preparation of
the County budget. In addition to determining priorities for
capital expenditures, the County must also ensure that
projects contained within the CIP conform to the
Comprehensive Plan. Specifically, the projects are reviewed
with considerations regarding the health, safety, and general
welfare of the public, and the policies of the Comprehensive
Plan. Once the CIP is adopted, it becomes a component of the
Comprehensive Plan and provides a link between the
documents and potential proffered contributions made with
future rezoning projects. Furthermore, the listing of a given
project in the CIP, and the CIP becoming a component of the
Comprehensive Plan, is intended to satisfy the Code of
Virginia § 15.2-2232.
In developing the CIP, a variety of adopted policies are
considered:
• Comprehensive Plan Debt Management Policies
• Capital and Reserve Fund Policies
• Frederick County Public Schools New School Planning
Additionally, the development of the CIP is a collaborative
process that involves a variety of County Departments and
Frederick County Public Schools (FCPS). Each County
Department and FCPS prepare their requests and the

Fourth High School
Description: This new high school project is proposed to
serve students in grades 9-12 with a program capacity of 1,285
students and a core capacity of 1,600 students, and will
address overcrowding and anticipated growth in high school
student enrollment in the school division. The site is located at
the end of Justes Drive behind Admiral Byrd MS. This school
will be designed similar to the renovations at James Wood HS,
with a variety of learning spaces to meet the needs of a variety
of learning styles and to impart skills necessary in today's
working world. Planning and design should take 14 months.
Construction should take 36 months. This project should be
complete and the school open in August of 2029.
Capital Cost: $149,104,825
Justification: This project will address overcrowding and

projected growth in high school student enrollment in the
school division for more than ten years. Completion of this
project will assist in maintaining State-recommended teacher-
to-student ratios, assist in providing necessary services to
special needs population, and assist in accommodating
students and staff with disabilities. This facility will employ
approximately 180 staff members, including administration,
clerical, teachers, aides, cafeteria staff, and custodial staff.
Many factors will contribute to cost performance: the
performance of the building envelope, the HVAC systems
chosen, the presence or absence of renewable energy sources,
lighting, etc. These items will be discussed and decisions made
during design. To minimize maintenance costs, part of the
design process is to select proven, durable, low maintenance
materials. This facility will require a renovation at 40 years.
With proper maintenance and a timely renovation, this
facility should last 75 to 80 years.

Middletown Elementary School Expansion
Description: Middletown ES opened in 1989 and has served
continuously as a K-5 elementary school since that time. The
school contains 70,281 square feet and has a program capacity
of 527 students. As of November 8, 2024, the school has 640
students. Ten general education classrooms, 1 special
education classroom, a teacher planning room, and a
gymnasium will be added. The existing gym will be renovated
into additional art and music classrooms, and the cafeteria
will be expanded. Planning and design should take 9 months.
Construction should take 24 months. This project should be
complete and the expansion open in August of 2028.
Capital Cost: $22,400,000
Justification: Middletown Elementary School is in good
condition; however, growth in the southeast area of the
county needs to be addressed through the addition of
classrooms to the facility. Completion of this project will assist
in maintaining State-recommended teacher-to-student ratios,
assist in providing necessary services to special needs
population, and assist in accommodating students and staff
with disabilities. The expansion will employ 11 additional

Jordan Springs Elementary School Expansion
Description: Jordan Springs ES opened in 2020 and serves as
a K-5 elementary school. The school contains 84,375 square
feet and has a program capacity of 500 students. As of
November 8, 2024, the school has 660 students. Twelve
general education classrooms and a gym expansion will be
added. Two resource rooms will be relocated, and the dining
area expanded. Planning and design should take 9 months.
Construction should take 24 months. This project should be
complete and the expansion open in August of 2028.
Capital Cost: $13,600,000
Justification: Both recent and expected growth in the
attendance zone will need to be addressed through two
strategies: the addition of classrooms to the facility and an
attendance zone rezoning. Neither strategy alone is sufficient
to address enrollment growth at JSES. Completion of this
project will assist in maintaining State-recommended teacher-
to-student ratios, assist in providing necessary services to
special needs population, and assist in accommodating
students and staff with disabilities. The expansion will employ
12 additional teachers and other staff members necessary to
support the additional students and teachers. Many factors
will contribute to cost performance: the performance of the
building envelope, the HVAC systems chosen, the presence or

Bass-Hoover Elementary School Renovation
Description: Bass-Hoover ES opened in 1975 and serves as a
K-5 elementary school. The school contains 75,257 square feet
and has a program capacity of 580 students. As of November
8, 2024, the school has 610 students. A school specific
renovation is proposed, which would include a mixture of
light and heavy renovations to the entire facility except recent
work done by Facilities Services. No renovation will be done
to the kindergarten addition.
Capital Cost: $20,621,715
Justification: Bass-Hoover Elementary School is 49 years old
and is overcrowded, which places additional stress on facility
infrastructure. The open concept design limits safety barriers
and instructional functionality. Operation and maintenance
costs are high due to aging infrastructure. Renovations are
needed to a number of areas to ensure the economical and
efficient operations of the school for years to come.

Capital Cost: $19,024,121
Justification: Apple Pie Ridge Elementary School is 50 years
old. The open concept design limits safety barriers and
instructional functionality. Operation and maintenance costs
are high due to aging infrastructure. Renovations are needed
to a number of areas to ensure the economical and efficient
operations of the school for years to come. Completion of this
project will assist in maintaining State-recommended teacher-

to-student ratios, assist in providing necessary services to
special needs population, and assist in accommodating
students and staff with disabilities. To minimize operating
costs, part of the design process is to improve the performance
of the building envelope, the HVAC systems, lighting, etc. Costs
might be further reduced through the use of renewable
energy sources. To minimize maintenance costs, part of the
design process is to select proven, durable, low maintenance
materials. With proper maintenance, this facility should last
40 or more years.

Onsite Traffic Safety Improvements
Description: AES, GES, IHES and GMES are experiencing
ongoing traffic safety concerns that require more than
operational funds allow. Proposed improvements include
driveway queuing capacity, efficient site arrangement, and
safe access to public roads. Planning and design should take 9
months. Construction work that would block traffic flows
would ideally occur during summer breaks, with other work
occurring in between. If done 2 sites at a time, construction
should take 2 summers.
Capital Cost: $2,364,184
Justification: Traffic safety concerns at these school sites have
been going unmet for some time, and so have been combined
into a single capital project. This work is needed to provide
sites that are as safe as practicable. Currently we experience
traffic backups/overloads and conflicting traffic flows at these
sites during arrival and dismissal. We are concerned that
frustration with the current situation will lead some drivers
and walkers to make bad decisions. Completion of this project
will assist in maintaining State-recommended teacher-to-
student ratios, assist in providing necessary services to special
needs population, and assist in accommodating students and
staff with disabilities. With proper maintenance, these
improvements will last the life of the parking lot.

Recreation Center
Description: The Recreation Center would be approximately
44,000 square feet and include an indoor area large enough to
accommodate a minimum of two basketball courts and an
indoor turf field. The court area would also be designed for
utilization by indoor soccer, baseball, softball, wrestling,
volleyball, pickleball, and badminton with the installation of
in-floor sleeves and drop curtains or partitions. This area
could also be used for special events such as dances, proms,
music events, or craft, shows, thus providing a flexible facility
for a multitude of activities to take place at one time. The
facility would also house a fitness equipment room, multi-
purpose rooms, office, storage, and locker rooms. Location is
TBD, however the assumption is that the facility and support
infrastructure would be built on County owned property.
Capital Cost: $13,210,000
Justification: Demand is the primary justification for this
project. Since its inception, the Parks and Recreation
Department has relied significantly on the use of the county

public schools to house recreation programs. This
arrangement adequately addressed Recreation Center needs
for a time, however the department currently offers over 250
sections of programs, creating a situation where the
department is limited in its ability to meet the programming
and facility needs of the county residents. A Recreation Center
facility will facilitate the department to meet citizen
programming demands and provide the area with a facility to
attract new businesses to the community. This facility would
be available to all area residents.

Description: Spray-ground addition to Sherando Park is
envisioned as a 10-15 feature pad. Intended to supplement
existing playgrounds and other recreation-based activities at
the parks, the spray-ground would similarly be free to the
public. Location at the park would be separate from the
existing pool and dictated by infrastructure availability
including but not limited to, parking, water, sewer, and
electricity.
Capital Cost: $700,000
Justification: Spray-grounds are a popular summer activity
for all ages, but particularly well suited for youth. Visitors to
the parks have expressed an interest in additional activities
and spray-grounds are identified as a need in the Parks and
Recreation Community Survey. This facility would be
available to all area residents and be of similar size and scope
as the Clearbrook Park spray-ground.

opportunities for the entire Frederick County area and allow
separation between youth and adult sport participants who
currently often play in close proximity. These additional fields
are needed to meet the high demand for rectangular and
diamond play fields. Additionally, the completion of the
softball complex will allow for tournament use.

Description: Proposed new 2,000 square foot (SF) to 4,000 SF
library branch with initial parking for at least 10 vehicles in
the Gainesboro Magisterial District near Route 50 or Route
522. The library would contain a small commuter collection,
books on hold for easy pick up, rental laptops/hotspots,
internet stations, notary services, fax/scan/remote printing, a
meeting room, and more. The new library would serve a
sizeable population of Frederick County that is not being
served. The library will provide materials and programming
for citizens from toddlers to senior citizens. It will also
provide recreational and educational materials, and be a
prime source for homework help as it will be open nights and
weekends when school libraries are closed. A small meeting
room is envisioned for local groups to use as well as for
children's story times and other events such as local history
talks. The library would be estimated to open in FY29.
Capital Cost: $969,903
Justification: This branch would serve citizens in an area that
has been underserved by the Handley Library system. In FY
24, there were a total of 488,529 hard copy and electronic
resources checked out, demonstrating the high use of library
resources. Residents in the Gainesboro area must drive over
20 minutes each way to check out or return materials, attend
early literacy classes, and use meeting rooms and other
services the library provides. Many senior citizens use public
libraries and for many, the library is their primary social
outlet where they can volunteer, and visit daily or weeks as
there is no cost and the staff is friendly and helpful. Public
libraries also serve an important recreational and educational
source for children. The summer reading program this year
registered nearly 1,746 preschoolers and school-age children

General Government Capital Expenditures
Description: This project consists of a revolving fund in the
amount of$1,000,000 for the benefit of General Government
Capital Expenditures for purchasing capital equipment for
governmental agencies and to allow for improvements to
general government facilities. Such expenditure may be less
than the established $100,000 departmental threshold. It was
determined that the inclusion of such a project would be
beneficial in ensuring that the significant capital expense is
identified in the County's capital planning and budget process.
This project is for the benefit of County Governmental Entities
participating in the CIP but does not include individual
Volunteer Fire & Rescue Companies.
Capital Cost: $1,000,000
Justification: The inclusion of this capital expenditure fund
for purchasing capital equipment for governmental agencies
and to allow for improvements to general governmental
facilities will enable the County to meet the requirements of
the Code of Virginia with regards to the collection and
disbursement of cash proffers accepted on behalf of the
governmental entities. Funds will ultimately be used to
improve conditions affecting health, safety, or welfare, which
will be evaluated at the time of each project/request.

CDD Landfill Area 2 Cell A Expansion
Description: The project will provide
Construction/Demolition Debris (CDD) refuse disposal capacity
for the next 10 - 15 years. The area of development is
approximately 10 acres. Rough grading must be done, which
involves removing over 500,000 cubic yards of rock and soil.
Then, an approved bottom liner containment system will be
constructed in conformance with approved DEQ plans. This
project will take 3 years to complete. The project will be
funding by the Landfill Enterprise budget. Funding is
available. Work began on the project in 2024 and will be
completed by 2028. The project is required to comply with
state mandates to provide approved landfill for refuse
disposal. By providing landfill, we can safely dispose of solid
wastes from our region. The cost to operate and maintain
landfill are included in the landfill budget. After waste is
placed in a cell, spread and compacted, soil cover is provided.
The tipping fees are based on the costs to operate landfill. The
estimated useful life of Cell A is 10 - 15 years.

MSW Landfill Gas Wellfield Expansion, Cell 3A
Description: This project is for expansion of the landfill
methane gas wellfield collection system. As waste decays, it
emits gases. Methane gas is collected to manage odors coming
from landfill and also to provide a source of fuel for our
Landfill Gas Energy Plant that generates 2 megawatts (MW) of
power that is sold on the PGM power grid. Funding is
available in the Landfill Enterprise fund. Construction of the
gas wellfield is anticipated in 2026. Landfill gas must be
collected to comply with state air permit requirements. The
ongoing maintenance and operations costs are approximately
$4,000 per year. The revenue from the energy plant is over
$300,000 per year.
Capital Cost: $350,000
Justification: As more refuse/trash is disposed of, the
resulting gases from the waste must be collected to control
odors, provide fuel to the energy plant, and to comply with
state air permit requirements. The gas collection system safely
collects and eliminates the landfill gas, which poses a threat to
human health and safety.

Description: This project will be a Type I Custom Advanced
Life Support Ambulance for station 10. This will be a four
wheeled drive ambulance with Advance Life Support
capabilities and equipment for the transport of acutely ill
patients. This will be replacing their current Ambulance 10-1
that is need of replacement due to age and condition. This
apparatus order would be placed in FY 30 with construction
on the vehicle would not be started until FY31 and delivered
during FY32. The current fire apparatus construction market
is seeing 12 to 24 months for completion of orders due to back
logs from supply chain and pandemic issues. This apparatus
would incur annual maintenance and operation costs of
$4,000 to $7,000 per year. The apparatus has a 10-year life
expectancy as a front-line apparatus and then would serve as
a reserve apparatus for the fleet.
Capital Cost: $603,750
Justification: The current Ambulance 10-1 needs replacement
as it has met the criteria set forth in the Frederick County Fire
and Rescue Apparatus Replacement Plan. This plan addresses
the age, mileage, engine hours, out of service time, and repair
costs over the life of the apparatus. The largest portion of our

of 2,500 gallons of water and a 1,250 gallons per minute fire
pump on the apparatus. This piece of apparatus serves the
vital fire ground function of bringing water to the areas that
are not served by fire hydrants for firefighting operations. The
current tanker assigned to Station 16 has met the replacement
requirements set forth by the Fire and Rescue Apparatus
Replacement Plan. This apparatus order would be placed in
FY 26 with construction on the vehicle would not be started
until FY27 and delivered during FY28. The current fire
apparatus construction market is seeing 18 to 24 months for
completion of orders due to back logs from supply chain
issues. This apparatus would incur annual maintenance and
operation costs of$5,000 to $10,000 per year. The apparatus
has a 15-year life expectancy as a front-line apparatus and
then would serve as a reserve apparatus for the fleet.
Capital Cost: $700,000
Justification: The current Tanker 16 needs replacement as it
has met the criteria set forth in the Frederick County Fire and
Rescue Apparatus Replacement Plan. This plan addresses the
age, mileage, engine hours, out of service time, and repair
costs over the life of the apparatus. This apparatus is a
requirement in the rural setting of Frederick County to deliver
water to the fire scene for extinguishment of the fire. Without
this apparatus the ability to deliver enough water to the fire
scene would be impossible. The current apparatus needs
replacement due to many factors that are addressed in the
Fire and Rescue Apparatus Replacement Plan.

Justification: The current Brush 19 has met its life expectancy
according to the Frederick County Fire and Rescue Apparatus
Replacement Program. This special apparatus would allow for
a prompt, efficient response to fires that occur in the remote
access areas. Frederick County has many subdivisions that
have been identified by the Virginia Department of Forestry as
extreme potential of wildland urban interface incidents. This
is when a wildland fire leads to the spread of the fire to
multiple structures and typically results in catastrophic
property loss and can lead to many fatalities as well. With this
apparatus it will allow our crews to be better equipped to
combat these fires to help prevent catastrophic loss of
property and life.

evaluate each individual station's current condition and
future needs. They looked at the living quarters to include
sleeping areas, kitchens, shower and bathroom facilities. They
also assessed the structural components of the buildings
along, mechanical systems in the building, roof coverings, and
the apron/parking areas. This project includes the
recommendations of the architect and the system to meet
future needs.

Description: Fire Station 22 will be a three-bay drive through
fire station that will house upon opening an Engine,
Ambulance, and Tanker. It will also allow for the expansion of
apparatus to include brush fire apparatus and other potential
needed apparatus for the area as growth will determine. The
fire station will provide 24-hour coverage and will require
living quarters for up to 12 firefighters. The living quarters
will provide a physical training area,
laundry/decontamination facilities, kitchen/dining areas,
private sleeping quarters, locker room, bathroom, and office
areas. The fire station will also include designed areas and
props for training inside and outside of the fire station. The
fire and rescue department is currently working on a location
feasibility study for station 22. Once this is completed by early
2023 the next phase would be the acquisition of the land (if
necessary) where the study indicates the county would best
improve response times and coverage with the placement of

and for utilities. The estimated life expectancy for the station
is 50 to 75 years.
Capital Cost: $7,500,000
Justification: This station will serve the Route 522/Route 277
area of Frederick County. This area of the county has seen
rapid growth in the past five years. The travel distance from
the closest county fire station is greater than the current
recommended time and distance models from the Insurance
Services Office (ISO), the National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA) and other accepted fire department and emergency
medical standards. The purpose of this station is to decrease
the travel time it takes to get to the citizens of Frederick
County in that area. This station would provide timely service
to the citizens of Frederick County in the southeastern region
of the county. With every minute of delay in structural fires, it
allows the fire to more than double in size. With the
construction features used today this will lead to total loss fire
with high potential loss of life as well for the public and the
crews operating at the incident. With emergency medical
response every second is valuable time when treating highly
acute patients with strokes, heart attacks, and other severe
medical conditions. Every second that the patient is left not
treated leaves irreversible damage to the patient. This fire
station will allow for those times to be reduced significantly.

Project 25 Public Safety Radio Network
Description: Purchase, construction, and deployment of
Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials (APCO)
Project 25 (P25) radio communications system will support
mission-critical public safety communications within the
County. This system will provide radio and paging
communications for the Frederick County Sheriff's
Department, Frederick County Fire & Rescue, volunteer fire &
rescue companies, and the Department of Public Safety
Communications. Frederick County's current public safety
radio system was originally designed as a mobile-only Public
Works system approximately 40 years ago. Since that time,
law enforcement, fire and emergency medical services have
expanded and in the late 1980s to early 1990s, the system was
designated as the County's public safety radio system;
however, the system was not redesigned for public safety use.
The new radio system will be P25 compliant and will replace
the existing radio system. P25 is the current standard
developed and accepted by the Department of Homeland
Security to ensure emergency radio systems and equipment
are capable of interoperability of emergency communications

1/8/25,9:05AM 2025-2030 Capital Improvement Plan
between local, state, and federal public safety professionals.
The County's existing public safety radio system does not meet
the P25 standard. The new radio system will be a 10-site
configured as a single simulcast cell providing coverage to the
service areas and operating conditions for Frederick County,
Winchester, and the I-81 corridor. Nine sites will be located
within Frederick County and one site will be co-located in
Shenandoah County.
Capital Cost: $10,003,717
Justification: The County's public safety radio system today
consists primarily of conventional very-high frequency (VHF)
repeaters, base stations and voted receivers operating from
six sites within the county. All repeaters operate in the
narrowband analog mode. With each repeater operation on a
separate conventional frequency, users must switch channels
manually to access the appropriate repeater depending on
their location within the county. The currently exists a lack of
radio coverage and unreliable performance in many areas
within the County. The existing radio system's design is
insufficient to provide reliable public-safety-grade
performance. Performance on the existing system can vary for
different functional users (e.g. law enforcement or fire)
depending on the location, frequency, and radio site with
which they are affiliated. In addition, the system design
includes single points of failure that can leave emergency
responders with no reliable way to be dispatched or to
communicate for an extended period of time, if a failure
occurs.
