Renovate Bldgs. 51424 & 51428

Awarded 2023-09-25 — 5 days before fiscal year end (Sep 30). End-of-year awards often have compressed timelines and reduced oversight.

This awardee has won multiple consecutive awards from the same agency. Incumbent advantage is common, but repeated wins without rotation may indicate barriers to new entrants.

Post-award modifications total 89% of the original award. Change orders exceeding 50% suggest scope creep, poor initial estimates, or intentional low-bidding.

This agency's spending on this type of work increased significantly vs prior years. Rapid spending increases often outpace oversight capacity.
