Relates to authorizing the use of certain alternative project delivery methods

This bill expands the New York City Public Works Investment Act to allow the use of alternative project delivery methods, specifically design-build and construction manager build, for certain large-scale infrastructure projects. It authorizes the Department of Design and Construction to use these methods for water and sewer infrastructure projects costing at least ten million dollars and for cultural or library renovations costing at least five million dollars, provided they utilize project labor agreements. The legislation clarifies that these contracts must be awarded through open and competitive processes while ensuring that all tiers of contractors comply with labor agreements and prevailing wage requirements. Additionally, the bill outlines specific procedures for evaluating proposals and includes provisions to consider participation by minority- and women-owned businesses and small enterprises.
