NYC Parks' website states that the procurement cycle takes approximately nine months, or 273 days. Projects displaying negative numbers are ahead of schedule. This is the first instance to show where data integritiy might be in question. This is illustrated by some projects illustrating procurement completion times sooner than the standard 9 month period by a factor of 200+ days. Improvements of this magnitude are not possible, since legal review, soliciting of sealed bids, and registering projects takes longer than 70 days.
