BILL NUMBER: S6659

SPONSOR: COMRIE
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the public authorities law, in relation to modernizing
the metropolitan transportation authority's small business mentoring
program

 
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

This bill will increase the statutory cap on annual revenues for firms
in MTA's Small Business Mentor Program from $5 million to $10 million;
will increase the number of years a small business can participate in
the Small Business Mentor Program from four years to five for Tier 1 and
Tier 2; will increase the cap on awards under MTA's Small Business
Mentor Program from $1 million to $1.5 million for Tier 1 contracts and
$3 million to $5 million for Tier 2 contracts. Lastly, the bill will
adjust the bidding process by requiring MTA to solicit at least five
bids and receive no less than two bids in order to award a Small Busi-
ness Mentor Program contract.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 of the bill amends subdivision 1 of section 1265-b of the
public authorities' law to increase the statutory cap on annual revenues
for firms in MTA's Small Business Mentor Program from $5 million to $10
million.

Section 2 amends paragraph d of subdivision 1 of section 1256-b to
increase the number of years a small business can participate in the
Small Business Mentor Program from four years to five for Tier 1 and
from four years to five for Tier 2.

Section 3 amends paragraph e of subdivision 1 of section 1265-b of the
public authorities law to increase the cap on awards under MTA's Small
Business Mentor Program from $1 million to $1.5 million for Tier 1
contracts and $3 million to $5 million for Tier 2 contracts.

Section 4 amends subparagraph ii of paragraph b of subdivision 2 of
section 1265-b of the public authorities law to adjust the bidding proc-
ess by requiring MTA to solicit at least five bids and receive no less
than two bids in order to award a Small Business Mentor Program
contract.

Section 5 provides an immediate effective date provided amendments to
section 1265-b of the public authorities law made by sections 1-4 shall
not affect the repeal of such section and shall be deemed repealed ther-
ewith.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Small Business Mentor Program Annual Revenues - this proposal will
increase the allowable annual revenues for businesses participating in
the Small Business Mentor Program from $5 million to $10 million.
Increasing the allowable annual revenues would allow small businesses to
obtain larger Small Business Mentor Program contracts and remain eligi-
ble for the Program (see statement in support for the Small Business
Mentor Program Contract Cap proposal outlined in paragraph 4 below).
Number of Years in Small Business Mentor Program - This proposal will
increase the number of years small businesses are eligible to partic-
ipate in the Small Business Mentor Program. Currently, under section
1265-b(1)(d) of the PAL, small businesses are eligible to participate
for up to four years in the Tier 1 program and for up to an additional
four years in the Tier 2 program, as set forth in subparagraphs
(1)(d)(i) and (1)(d)(ii), respectively. This proposal would increase
participation eligibility from four years to five years in each tier.
Increasing the amount of time small businesses can participate in the
program allows firms to gain more experience working as primes by allow-
ing them to undertake additional and higher value contracts under the
program.

Small Business Mentor Program Contract Cap - This proposal will increase
the cap on MTA Small Business Mentor Program Tier 1 awards from $1
million to $1.5 million and the cap on Tier 2 awards from $3 million to
$5 million. The $1 million and $3_million caps were set in 2011; since
then, the Engineering News Record Building Cost Index has increased 54k.
The inflation in construction costs to date justifies a cap of $1.5
million for Tier 1 awards and a cap of over $4.6 million for Tier 2
awards - one additional year of inflation at current rates will yield $5
million. In addition, raising the cap is expected to increase the pool
of small businesses enrolled in the Small Business Mentor Program and
provide additional opportunities for small businesses to develop by
performing larger contracts as prime contractors.

Small Business Mentor Program Solicitation - Currently, 1265-b(2)(b)(ii)
requires MTA to receive three bids in order to award a Small Business
Mentor Program contract. While MTA always solicit bids from at least
five program participants, at times they receive only two bids. The
proposed change requires MTA to solicit at least five bids and to
receive 110 less than two bids in order to award a contract under the
program. This will assist MTA to award Small Business Mentor Program
contracts in a timely manner.

Together, these four proposals will ensure small MWBE construction busi-
nesses can learn, earn, and grow.

 
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

This is a new bill.

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS:

None.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately; provided, however, that the
amendments to section 1265-b of the public authorities law made by
sections one, two, three and four of this act shall not affect the
repeal of such section and shall be deemed repealed therewith.
