| * | Julie Won | | Proposed Int. No. 479-A | Establishment of standards and procedures to determine the existence of conflicts of interest and other misconduct concerning city contracts. | Introduction | This bill would require the City Chief Procurement Officer to establish standards and procedures for contractors to determine the existence of conflicts of interest and misconduct concerning city contracts valued over $100,000. Contractors would be required to self-certify compliance with these standards upon execution of a covered contract and attest that no conflicts of interest, corruption, criminal activity, gross mismanagement or abuse of authority exists with respect to their officers, employees and subcontractors. If a contractor becomes aware of any such conflicts or misconduct during the contract term, they would need to notify the Mayor's Office of Contract Services and the contracting agency in writing within 10 business days. | | |

Int 1401-2025
| * | Yusef Salaam | | Proposed Int. No. 1401-A | Voluntary labor and human rights disclosures in city procurement. | Introduction | This bill would allow city agencies to request voluntary disclosures from bidders on city contracts about their efforts to identify and address labor and human rights risks in their operations and supply chains. The disclosures would cover risks such as child labor, forced labor, wage theft, unsafe working conditions and violations of freedom of association. The disclosures would not apply to contracts below the small purchase limit, emergency procurements, professional services contracts, and contracts subject to federal or state requirements that would preclude such disclosures.
Contracting agencies could not require such disclosures as part of their vendor responsibility determinations, bidders could not be deemed non-responsible solely for declining to provide a disclosure and the information provided could not be the sole basis for contract award decisions. The Mayor's Office of Contract Services would develop a standardized disclosure form for agencies to use when requesting these voluntary disclosures. | | |
