The Concrete Index.

The forward pipeline: funded, not yet spent.

Every capital project in the City's plan carries a budget and a spend-to-date. The gap between them is tomorrow's construction demand — dollars committed to projects that still have to move through design, procurement, and construction.

Methodology & definitions

Source

All figures are drawn live from the Capital Projects Dashboard — Citywide Budget and Schedule dataset on NYC Open Data (dataset fb86-vt7u), published by the NYC Office of Management and Budget. OMB issues a new snapshot with each capital commitment plan, three times a year (January, May, September). This page automatically uses the most recent snapshot. The source publishes one row per sub-project milestone and repeats the project-level budget on each; The Concrete Index collapses these to one record per project so no dollar is counted twice.

Unspent committed

For each project, unspent committed dollars are its total budget (city plus non-city funds) minus spending to date. This is the page's headline measure of forward demand: money the City has planned for projects that still have work ahead of them. It is a planning measure — budgets shift between plan releases, and commitment is not a guarantee of timing.

Phases and what counts as active

Projects are grouped into the City's delivery sequence: pending, pre-design, design, construction procurement, construction, and close-out, plus an "other active" group for vehicles like requirements contracts and pass-through funds that don't follow the standard sequence. Projects marked completed, cancelled, on hold, inactive, transferred, or otherwise terminated are excluded from all figures. Close-out projects appear in the phase chart but are excluded from the headline unspent number, since their construction work is substantially done.

Relationship to the Awarded page

This page and the Awarded page measure different moments of the same flow. The pipeline is demand the City has funded; an award is demand reaching a contractor. Capital plan categories are broader than the procurement categories on the Awarded page — this page covers the full capital plan, including transportation, parks, water, and buildings programs delivered by many agencies.
