A description of the benchmark project, including its location, indicating a street address if applicable, community district, and borough, and a finalized design of such benchmark project developed by or on behalf of the department if one exists, unless the commissioner determines that including such design may be a security risk; 2. The benchmark that the benchmark project would contribute towards achieving, and the progress such benchmark project is expected to contribute towards such benchmark; 3. The agency responsible for the benchmark project and the project liaison; 4. For a benchmark project that is a major transportation project, a link to the street design checklist required by section 19-182.2; 5.

Updated each month, the current status of the benchmark project, including but not limited to whether such benchmark project is in the design, procurement, or construction phase, and, for the construction phase, the percent complete as indicated by the amount of money spent; 7. A description of any phase of the benchmark project that is delayed and the reason for such delay; 8. If commencement of the benchmark project requires presentation to a community board, the date of the presentation, if available, and a copy of any materials presented to such community board after such presentation is made; 9. Information about the funding for the benchmark project including identification of whether the funding comes from a city or non-city source, the total amount of funds allocated to such benchmark project or, when applicable, a range of the amount of funds available for such benchmark project, and the amount of funds already expended; 10. Publicly available information about contractors or other vendors providing services on the benchmark project, and on all procurements and contracts associated with such project, or a link to a website where such publicly available information may be found; and 11.
