AN ACT to amend the public authorities law, in relation to establishing
the metropolitan transportation authority small business mentoring
program; and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon expira-
tion thereof
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Legislative findings. Historically, in the construction
industry, there have been significant obstacles to the ability of small
businesses to compete for public work contracts. These include the lack
of sufficient construction management expertise to compete for and
perform public work contracts and prime contractor and statutory public
work contracting requirements that may present insurmountable obstacles
to a small, inexperienced business including requirements with respect
to bonding, insurance and competitive bidding.
It is hereby declared that there is a public purpose in initiating a
mentoring program to be implemented by the metropolitan transportation
authority for itself and its affiliates and subsidiaries that will
afford participating small businesses with the opportunity to obtain
public work construction management experience and training by providing
the small businesses with the mentoring services of an experienced
construction firm and with the opportunity to compete with certain other
small businesses in the program for the award of designated public work
contracts.
It is also hereby declared to be in the public interest of the state
of New York to authorize the metropolitan transportation authority and
its affiliates and subsidiaries to allocate a portion of their funds for
the purpose of retaining on a competitive basis successful construction
management firms to act as mentors to small businesses participating in
the mentoring program, to provide such small businesses training to
facilitate their growth into successful bidders and performers on public
work contracts. It is also in the public interest for the state of New
York to provide for certain exceptions to the provisions of the public
