Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden Building Envelope Repairs (SF Project No. 1821115)

Awarded 2020-09-29 — 1 days before fiscal year end (Sep 30). End-of-year awards often have compressed timelines and reduced oversight.

This contract has unrealized obligation backlog — funds committed but work not yet performed. This can indicate project delays or budget holds.

Post-award modifications total 200% of the original award. Change orders exceeding 50% suggest scope creep, poor initial estimates, or intentional low-bidding.

First modification occurred shortly after award — before significant work could have been performed. Early scope changes may indicate incomplete requirements.
