The rest, according to Technical Services Division Director Joe M. Inos Jr., are still in the process of being contracted.
He did not provide specific numbers.
The two biggest CIPs, Inos said, are the Puerto Rico Dump closure and the Cross-Island Road Improvement on Saipan.
The Puerto Rico dump closure is currently in the permitting stage, while the design for Cross-Island’s Phase 2 is still being reviewed by the Federal Highway Administration officials in Hawaii.
Another significant CIP is the environmental assessment for the Kalabera Cave and the Susupe Lake development projects.
The Division of Environmental Quality and the Coastal Resource Management Office have already reviewed 30 percent of the environmental assessment report for the Kalabera Cave.
An environmental assessment is prepared to determine if the proposed action will result in a significant impact on the natural environment.
Inos said CIPs are federally funded but require local matching funds.
The money used for the East Harbor project on Rota that was completed last month consisted of federal funds from the Covenant’s Section 702 and local appropriation from the Commonwealth Development Authority’s bond interest.
The funding for Rota’s fire division building renovation was also a combination of federal and local funds.
But the Cross-Island project and the Puerto Rico Dump closure are completely federally funded.
The local appropriation for CIPs, Inos said, is appropriated by the Legislature which taps poker fees, infrastructure developer’s tax or building code fees, CDA bond interest and agency or department budgets.
The other pending CIPs include the Route 201 Road on Tinian, the Sabana Road and drainage improvement of Route 11 on Rota, the Laulau Bay Pathway’s Phase 1 in Kagman and the Garapan basketball court.
