a) Work-in-progress Work-in-progress is comprised of costs related to projects currently under planning, development or construction that will result in a tangible capital asset at a future date. Such costs are capitalized until such time as the property is ready for use or sale. Work-in-progress having a value of $275.1 million (2015 - $226.9 million) has not been amortized. Amortization of these assets will commence when each specific asset is put into service. b) Contributed Tangible Capital Assets Contributed tangible capital assets have been recognized at fair value at the date of contribution. The value of contributed assets received during the year is $114.2 million (2015 - $129.6 million) comprised of roads infrastructure in the amount of $92.4 million (2015 - $95.5 million), water and wastewater infrastructure in the amount of $12.6 million (2015 - $19.7 million) and land in the amount of $9.2 million (2015 - $14.4 million), including improvements. c) Tangible Capital Assets Disclosed at Nominal Values Where an estimate of fair value is not determinable, the tangible capital asset is recognized at a nominal value. d) Works of Art and Historical Cultural Assets The City manages and controls various works of art and non-operational historical cultural assets including buildings, artifacts, paintings and sculptures located at City sites and public display areas.
