What governments pay for playground equipment
Half of them fall between $118K and $420K. The middle contract is $230K.
middle half of contractsmedian · one mark per contract · spaced logarithmically, so each step right is a multiplying of the amount, not an adding to it.
These are contracts, not prices. They are not like for like: some cover ten years and a whole city, others a single unit added to something a government already owned, and a few are omnibus agreements that merely mention the item among others. Amendments are left out, because an amendment usually restates the value of the deal it changes and would count the same money twice. That is why the middle half is given rather than an average, and why every row links to the document it was read from — the range is the honest answer, and the source is how you check which end of it applies to you.
