A note on the totals: the city files revisions and de-obligations as their own records with negative award amounts, so the total above is the net of awards and adjustments. An awarded amount is also not money paid — it is the ceiling the city agreed to, and actual spending can come in lower.

Urs Corporation contracts FAQ

- City of Chicago contract records show $178,584,420 awarded to Urs Corporation across 81 contract records approved since Oct 3, 1997. That figure is the net of awards and later adjustments, and an award is not the same as money actually paid out.
- Which city departments contract with Urs Corporation?

- The largest single award on file is $45,000,000, described by the city as "Program Management and Construction Engineering Services for Program 1: City-wide Streetscape Improvements", approved Apr 24, 2014, through Chicago Department Of Transportation.
- Why can a contract amount be negative?
- The city records revisions and de-obligations as separate rows with negative award amounts. That means a vendor total is the net of original awards plus every later adjustment, not a running tally of payments. Awarded dollars are also not the same as dollars spent — a contract can be awarded and only partly drawn down.

Contracts are matched on the vendor name exactly as the city records it, so a company filed under more than one spelling may appear on more than one page. Award amounts can be negative on revisions and de-obligations; totals are the net of awards and adjustments, not payments made.
