School measures with different election outcomes
The elementary district's later approval should not overwrite the earlier failed measure in a project file. Keep the year, district and measure together when assessing school construction activity. For actual contracts, use campus and scope codes to connect supplier purchases and payroll with progress billings and approved changes.

Water meters and airport fuel-island design
A citywide meter replacement program and airport design work have different procurement patterns. Meter work can involve repeated installation assignments, while fuel-island design costs precede field construction. Keep labor and professional-service invoices under the right project reference, and reconcile any reimbursable costs to the applicable agreement.
