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

54 checkbook lines totaling $3,786,305 are booked directly against this contract — this is the amount actually paid.

Accountability

Administered by
Contract and Land Management Department
Delivered by (1 firm)
RODRIGUEZ BARR INC

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.

Documents & oversight

Contract type
Direct contract — billed against this contract number.

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.
