NYC Forward Capital Pipeline

Funded capital work the City has 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 the City has funded but not yet spent, on projects that still have to move through design, procurement, and construction. Sub-project rows are collapsed to one record per project, keyed on agency and FMS ID, so no budget is counted twice.

Where the pipeline sits

BY PHASE · USD
Funded, unspent dollars by project phase, earlier phases are demand that has not yet reached the market
Each bar is funded, unspent dollars for one project phase, where unspent = total budget minus spend-to-date, floored at zero, after collapsing the plan to one record per project and excluding non-construction phases. Earlier phases are funded demand that has not yet reached the market.

Pipeline by agency

TOP 8 · USD
Funded, unspent dollars, top managing agencies
Funded, unspent construction dollars by managing agency, the top eight, on the collapsed and filtered plan set. Bars are dollars of open pipeline, not project counts, and the top eight do not sum to the total pipeline.

Pipeline by borough

BY BOROUGH
As designated in the capital plan
Funded, unspent dollars by the borough the capital plan itself designates for each project (a structured field here, unlike the text-inferred borough on the “Awarded” page). Citywide projects carry the plan's own citywide label.

Pipeline by category

TOP 8 · USD
Funded, unspent dollars by ten-year plan category
Funded, unspent dollars by the City's ten-year-plan category, the top eight. Categories are the plan's own classification, not derived from text. Bars are open-pipeline dollars, not counts.

Largest open projects

RANKED BY UNSPENT
Ranked by funded, unspent dollars
ProjectPhaseBudgetUnspent
The largest open capital projects, ranked by funded, unspent dollars (Budget minus spend-to-date). One row per project after the plan's sub-project rows are collapsed, so a project's full budget is counted once rather than repeated on every milestone row.

SERIES NOTES

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.

Funded, unspent

For each project, funded, unspent dollars are its total budget (city plus non-city funds) minus spending to date: money the City has funded in the capital plan but not yet spent. This is the page's headline measure of forward demand, the work still ahead on funded projects. It is a planning measure, not encumbered or bondable backlog: budgets shift between plan releases, and a place in the plan is no 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 figures, both dollars and counts, since their construction work is substantially done. That is why two project counts appear on this page: the plan's full active set, quoted under the headline above, and the narrower in-scope set the stat cards are computed on. The line beneath the cards reconciles them.

Plan growth

Plan growth compares the current funded, unspent total to the prior capital plan snapshot's, the change in committed-but-unspent capital between the two most recent plan releases. Close-out projects are excluded from both sides so the comparison tracks active forward demand.

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.
