N.Y. Public Authorities Law § 1279-h: Debarment

§ 1279-h. Debarment. The authority shall establish, pursuant to

regulation, a debarment process for contractors of the authority that

prohibits such contractors from bidding on future contracts, after a

debarment determination by such authority, for a period of five years

from such determination. Such regulations must ensure notice and an

opportunity to be heard before such debarment determination and provide

as a defense acts such as force majeure. Such regulations shall only

provide for a debarment in situations involving a contractor's failure

to substantially complete the work within the time frame set forth in

the contract, or in any subsequent change order, by more than ten

percent of the contract term; or where a contractor's disputed work

exceeds ten percent or more of the total contract cost where claimed

costs are deemed to be invalid pursuant by the contractual dispute

resolution process.
