Why this status?

  • No expiration date on record — timeline signals can't be computed.

These are transparent signals, not judgments. A large unspent balance may be a legitimate multi-year ceiling or indefinite-delivery contract.

Payments on this contract

The contract’s own record lists $2,760,796 in its “delivery-order referenced” field — a $810,721 understatement. That field only counts payments made through delivery orders, so we treat the checkbook total above as the real amount paid.

Accountability

Administered by
Contract and Land Management Department
Delivered by (1 firm)
UNDERGROUND WATER SOLUTIONS CO.

We couldn’t automatically match this contract to a City Council vote (the voting-record dataset starts in 2023, and older or consent-agenda items may not match by name). Most contracts are approved collectively on the Council consent agenda — so accountability runs through the managing department above and the Council vote on the award date, not an individual sponsor.

Assessing delivery vs. commitment: Austin doesn’t publish structured project milestones, so we can’t auto-verify that the work matches the contract. What we can do is show what the money was invoiced for (above) and link the approved scope — then, where it matters, dispatch a Spotter to confirm the work on the ground. Contracts whose purpose is well-documented vs. vague is exactly the signal that tells us where to look first.
