Official Description
This bill would require each contractor that has entered into a human services contract with a city agency to disclose certain information about any subcontract to the contracting agency within 30 days of executing a subcontract with an entity known to the contractor to be a certified minority- or women-owned business enterprise for construction, professional services, standard services, or goods. Such disclosures would include the name, address, and contact information of the subcontractor and the value and type of work or goods to be provided. No later than October 31 of each year, each agency that administered a human services contract during the preceding fiscal year would be required to transmit those disclosures to the Mayor’s Office of Contract Services for each such subcontract executed or amended during that fiscal year.
