Progress in 2018
Note: 16 of 51 active projects were delayed in the second quarter of 2018 for a variety of reasons. These reasons include: delays in contract execution, some caused by personnel changes related to the mayoral transition; changes in project scope requested by City agencies; lack of responsive bids, lack of bids within budget, and bid protests; plan revisions to meet FEMA comments and requirements; extended contract negotiations with consultants; contractor delays; unforeseen environmental issues, including asbestos and termite remediation, that delayed construction; and rising river conditions requiring suspension of construction. Despite these issues, project timeliness was still within 10 percent of target through the first half of 2018.
