# Houston Requires Monthly Infrastructure Reporting

Houston City Council unanimously approved an ordinance requiring monthly public reporting on major city infrastructure projects. Houston Public Works plans to publish project costs, scope, locations, and reasons for delays or changes through a public dashboard. The ordinance does not identify a specific solicitation or contract value, but it increases public visibility into the status and performance of Houston’s infrastructure work.

- Contractors working on major city projects should be prepared for greater public visibility of project scope, costs, locations, schedules, and reported delays; the signal does not establish a direct contractor reporting requirement.
- Procurement teams and prospective bidders can use the planned dashboard to understand project progress and changes, supporting market research and assessment of city project needs.
- No specific procurement opportunity, contract value, or procurement contact is identified in the signal.
