No. 564-A\n\nBy Council Member O'Donovan (by request of the Mayor); also Council Members Wooten, Spigner, Gerges, Williams, Castaneira-Colon, Ferrer and Pinkett\n\nA Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York in relation to awarding city contracts to small business enterprises\n\nBe it enacted by the Council as follows:\n\nSection 1. Declaration of legislative intent. The council hereby finds and declares that small business enterprises, especially those which conduct business and provide employment with economically disadvantaged areas of the city, have generally provided a means for talented, innovative, diligent and dedicated individuals with limited financial backing to stimulate and contribute to the social and economic livelihood of themselves, their communities and their city. The council further finds that the costs of doing business in the city and the size of many contracts for goods and services awarded by the city have made it difficult for many small business enterprises to compete successfully for such contracts. The active encouragement of the development of small business enterprises benefits the- people of the city of New York by providing jobs, economic opportunities, and a more diverse and accessible marketplace, as well as an expanded tax base. The development of such enterprises also serves the public interest in that a greater number of enterprises will be able to compete for city contracts, and this increased competition should lead to lower costs to the city. This local law authorizes the establishment of a two year pilot program to promote the opportunity for small business enterprises to bid successfully for city contracts for goods and services, without reducing the safeguards of the competitive bidding process, or in any way authorizing increased expenditures for, or diminished quality of, goods and services provided to the city. Before the end of the two year period the mayor shall report to the council concerning the effectiveness of this program, in order that it may be determined whether the program shall be continued, modified or allowed to expire.\n\n* * *\n\n[Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A]\n\n* * *\n\n§ 4. Not later than one year prior to the date of expiration of this local law, the mayor or the mayor's designee shall submit a report to the council concerning the administration of the program established pursuant to this section. Such report shall evaluate the effectiveness of the program and shall include recommendations as to whether the program should be extended or modified. Such a report shall also be made six months prior to the expiration of this local law.\n\n§ 5. If any provision of this local law or the application thereof is held invalid, the remainder of this local law and the application thereof to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such holding and shall remain in full force and effect.\n\n§ 6. This local law shall take effect ninety days from the date it shall have become a law, and shall remain in effect for a period of twenty-four months thereafter. Actions necessary to prepare for the implementation of this local law may be taken prior to its effective date.","path":["New York City Administrative Code","1986"],"source_url":"https://files.amlegal.com/pdffiles/NewYorkCity/Admin/XML.zip","current_through":"Local Law 2026/135 (enacted August 31, 2026)","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-06T02:48:57Z","sha256":"525f55f8e67d1c1b456a78a948638e8b912ab205a6467f6b385dea2bb28f1153","source_id":"us-nyc","stale":false,"prev":"us-nyc/n.y.c.-admin.-code-l.l.-1986-014","next":"us-nyc/n.y.c.-admin.-code-l.l.-1986-016"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
