BILL NUMBER:S1020 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the general municipal law, in relation to authorizing political subdivisions to award public competitively bid contracts to businesses that participate in a program designed to foster participation by local businesses in public procurement at a cost premium not to exceed ten percent of the lowest bid PURPOSE: To ensure local businesses can compete for local procurement opportunities. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Amends Section 104-a of the general municipal law to provide that when purchasing goods, services or construction for public use by competitive sealed bids on contracts less than one million a municipality that employs a program to foster the participation of local businesses in public procurement, may award such contracts to a participant of such a program even if their bid is not the lowest bid received, provided that the bid does not exceed the lowest bid by more than ten percent. JUSTIFICATION: According to the NYC Economic Development Corporation, there are over 220,000 small businesses in New York City. Businesses with fewer than 100 employees comprise 98% of all businesses in the City. Moreover, these businesses employ nearly 50% of all New Yorkers in the private sector.
