Download the special report on contracting out.

This new report demonstrates how private contractors inappropriately manage city services. Selling Out San Francisco examines six contractors and reveals several issues with how the City contracts out essential services, including:

  • administrative mismanagement

  • inability to meet contractual obligations

  • inappropriate monitoring practices

  • and inflated contractor prices compared to in-house services

Despite a record of costly mismanagement and subpar outcomes, all six contractors still maintain active contracts and continue to be awarded new agreements.
