Why this status?

  • Contract period ended with only 45% paid — what happened to the rest?
  • Spending is behind schedule (100% of time elapsed, 45% paid).

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

This is a multi-firm agreement (a “rotation list”): 4 firms share one contract number and one spending ceiling. The dollar figures above are the agreement total, counted once — not per firm.

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
Master agreement — a spending ceiling drawn down through individual delivery orders over time.

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.
