Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act to amend the executive law, in relation to contractor utilization plans
Purpose
To require contracting agencies to post minority and women-owned business utilization plans on agency websites.
Summary of provisions
Amends section 313 of the Executive law to require posting of contractor utilization plans.
Justification
Utilization plans listing the certified minority and women-owned subcontractors that the prime contractor will use to fill minority and women-owned business enterprise goals are required by Article 15-A for construction contracts over $100,000. At recent Assembly hearings in Buffalo, Utica and NYC, minority and women contractors testified that often they are contacted by contractors and told that they will, be listed as subcontractors for a certain amount, but the actual job--and payment--either does not materialize, or is much smaller than promised. Prime contractors list them to fulfill agency goal requirements on paper, but do not follow through. Posting the utilization plans, along with waivers granted to contractors from meeting agency goals, on agency websites would enable subcontractors to verify that good faith efforts were made to achieve MWBE participation, and to identify and notify agency construction managers about discrepancies between planned and actual utilization, thus assisting the agency compliance review process.
