Capitol Complex Renovation, Phase 3/4 · Budget to actual
How much of the budget can a public record show was paid?
A budget names this project. A payment record names a contract, a fund or a vendor. This page links the two, one record at a time, and grades each link by how sure it is. Money no public record ties to the project stays unlinked. We never guess it.

Each link and its evidence

Documented Payments from the Capitol Complex Renovation Fund (fund 4613), DPA Capital Construction, March 2023 to September 2026 → Appropriated to the project before FY 2026-27, all cash funds from the Capitol Complex Renovation Fund Moves $88,898,708.
The record says so: “created a system to divert ADLE payments from FY 2022-23 through FY 2028-29 to the Capitol Complex Renovation Fund to pay for the majority of the Capitol Complex Renovation and Footprint Reduction project.” (Joint Budget Committee staff, FY 2026-27 Capital Construction figure setting (opens in a new tab), page 16). Every appropriation above is cash funds from the Capitol Complex Renovation Fund, and TOPS prints every payment's fund. The shared key is the fund's name. The statute restricts the fund to capital needs of the Capitol Complex buildings this project renovates, and JBC staff state the fund pays for this project, so the link is DOCUMENTED rather than EXACT: the fund is named for the buildings, not for the project.
Also published, not added
Other public figures for the same money. Each is shown so you can check it, and none is added, so nothing is counted twice.

Of those payments, the share paid to the contractor of record: $70,566,159 CALC
Already inside the fund total above. Shown to say how much of the fund went to one firm, never added to it. Sum of the TOPS lines in fund 4613 whose payee is the contractor of record: $70,566,158.77.

Funds expended, as the State Architect's status report prints it for one row of the project (phase 4 of 7): $19,960,327 FACT
Not added. It is one report row, dated December 2024, and the December 2025 report repeats it unchanged. The TOPS payments cover the whole fund to September 2026. Office of the State Architect, FY 2025-26 Annual Report, Section III (opens in a new tab), page 23. As of December 31, 2024.

Payments to the same contractor of record from other state funds, 2016 to 2026: $14,429,985 CALC
Not linked. These payments came before the fund existed or from other funds, and nothing public says they were for this project. A vendor's total is not a project's spend. Sum of the TOPS lines whose payee is the contractor of record and whose fund is not 4613: $14,429,984.75 (Regular Capital Construction, General Fund and the Capitol Parking Fund).

What cannot be bridged, and why
- Which of the four phases each payment paid for. TOPS has no project, phase or contract field. JBC staff write that the phases overlap and draw from several appropriation years, and that this makes them hard to track.
- Payments from the General Fund or other funds for this project. Only the Capitol Complex Renovation Fund is named for the project. A payment from any other fund cannot be tied to it without a contract or project number, which TOPS does not publish.
- Money owed but not yet paid. TOPS is cash paid. Encumbrances and contract balances are not published.
- How much of the gap between appropriated and paid is unspent, owed or swept. Appropriations stay available for two more years. The law that swept $15,263,000 from the fund in June 2026 does not say which appropriation year it came from, and no public report prints the fund's balance by year.
How this works
Link grades
- Exact The publisher prints the same key on both records, such as a contract code.
- Documented A public document states in words that this money belongs to this project.
- Inferred Our own match, by name, place or date. It is our arithmetic, and the method is shown.
- Pending No public record links this money to the project yet. It moves no dollars.
Formulas
- Linked payments = the sum of every Exact, Documented and Inferred link. A Pending link adds nothing.
- Unlinked = the basis − linked payments.
- Share = linked payments ÷ the basis.
- A link never moves more than the payment record it comes from states, and the linked total never passes the basis. Our checks fail the page if either happens.
What this does not show
- Unlinked money is not unspent money. It is money no public record ties to this project yet.
- A contractor is named as the contractor of record.
