S 6672 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to contracting for certain construction projects by public housing authorities

This bill (S 6672) allows public housing authorities to use "alternative project delivery contracts" (like design-build or construction manager at risk) for construction projects over $50,000, instead of traditional sealed-bid processes. It establishes a two-step selection process: first, evaluating qualifications based on experience, labor compliance, and innovation; second, selecting contractors through proposals. Authorities must publicly advertise requests for qualifications and consider minority/women-owned businesses. The change aims to improve efficiency in housing construction while maintaining labor standards and project oversight.
