                                 BILL NUMBER:  S7494

 TITLE OF BILL :

An act to amend the public authorities law, in relation to the
requirements for soliciting and awarding alternate delivery contracts
and providing for the repeal of certain provisions upon expiration
thereof


 PURPOSE OF THE BILL :

The purpose of this bill is to enable the Dormitory Authority of the
State of New York ("DASNY") to make procurements in a more efficient
and cost-effective manner by (1) authorizing the award of alternative
delivery system contracts for projects having a cost in excess of
$10,000,000 and for which DASNY requires a project labor agreement
("PLA"); and (2) authorizing prequalification of bidders for DASNY
contracts that are required to be awarded pursuant to sealed
competitive bids.

 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :

Section 1 of the bill would add a new subdivision 46 to Public
Authorities Law.  ("PAL") § 1676 to define "alternative delivery
system contract" as a contract awarded pursuant to an open, objective

and competitive method of procurement in which an entity or
combination of entities is selected to provide construction services
to DASNY in accordance with new PAL § 1678(25).

Section 2 of the bill would add a new subdivision 25 to PAL § 1678 to
authorize DASNY to solicit and award alternative delivery system
contracts to a single entity or entities for projects that are
otherwise subject to competitive bidding statutes, for projects in
excess of $10,000,000. Consistent with DASNY's policy governing the
use PLAs, new PAL § 1678(25) would permit alternative delivery system
contracts so long as they include a provision requiring the contractor
to enter into a PLA that complies with the requirements of Labor Law §
222. New PAL § 1678(25) would require any alternative delivery system
contract to be awarded pursuant to a two-step open, competitive and
objective process that would require DASNY to set forth its rationale
for using this method of procurement before starting the process and
the procurement to comply with guidelines adopted by DASNY's board.
New PAL § 1678(25) would also require DASNY to include in its Annual
Procurement Report a description of each alternative delivery system
contract that it awarded, as well as the specific benefits associated
with each such award. Finally, new PAL § 1678(25), authorizing DASNY
to utilize alternative delivery system contracts would sunset on July
30, 2013.

Section 3 of the bill would add a new subdivision 26 to PAL § 1678 to
authorize DASNY to pre-qualify contractors for procurements in which
DASNY is required by law to award contracts to the lowest responsible
bidder, based on specific criteria including:
(1) the experience and past performance of the prospective bidder; (2)
the prospective bidder's ability to undertake the work; (3) the
financial capability, responsibility and reliability of the
prospective bidder; and (4) the prospective bidder's record of
compliance with Executive Law Article 15-A. Under new PAL § 1678(26),
DASNY would be required publish advertisements in the State
Procurement Opportunities Newsletter requesting prospective bidders to
submit their qualifications. DASNY would be required to make such
publications at least quarterly, and with respect to projects in
excess of $5,000,000, on a project specific basis. DASNY would be
required to review and update its list of pre-qualified bidders not
less than annually.
Section 4 of the bill would make it effective immediately; provided
that sections 1 and 2 of the bill, authorizing DASNY to award
alternative delivery system contracts, would expire on July 30, 2013.

 EXISTING LAW :

Under current law, DASNY is not permitted to award alternative
delivery system contracts for most of its construction projects and
programs, where DASNY must comply with competitive bidding
requirements, and DASNY is not authorized to pre-qualify contractors
on contracts subject to competitive bidding.

 LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :

S.7455-A (relative to alternative delivery system contracts) passed
the Senate in2008.

 STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :

In hard economic times like the present, it is particularly important
that DASNY has the ability to deliver construction projects for its
clients at the lowest possible cost.  This bill would provide DASNY
with a tool to achieve this objective, by authorizing alternative
delivery system contracts for projects in excess of $10,000,000.

Traditional competitive bidding frequently is not the most
cost-effective method of procurement for certain types of construction
projects. For this reason, alternative delivery system procurement, in
which a single contract is executed with a single entity to provide
construction services, has become an effective method of project
delivery, particularly in the private sector.  DASNY has used
alternative delivery system procurement where competitive bidding is
not required by law, and now seeks authority to employ such
procurement in appropriate instances for all its construction clients.
Alternative delivery systems, such as construction-manager-at-risk,
can produce significant cost and time savings in the construction of
public entities' buildings.

Alternative delivery system procurement would be an important tool for
DASNY because it would improve contracting efficiencies. Alternative
delivery systems permit the single prime contractor to have input in
the design phase and to assume responsibility for coordination of the
schedule, proper structuring of bid packages and phasing of the work.
The single prime contractor is responsible for defaulted
subcontractors and must, in the event of such default, complete the
work on time and for the negotiated cost of the project.

This legislation contains safeguards to ensure the integrity of
alternative delivery system procurements. It requires DASNY to
document and justify: (i) the use of the alternative delivery system
procurement in any given situation; and (ii) the evaluation process
for both the selection of entities on its short list and the award of
the alternative delivery system contract. In addition, DASNY would be
permitted to utilize this alternative method of procurement only if
the procurement complied with guidelines approved by DASNY's board.
Finally, DASNY would be required to publicly disclose any use of this
method as part of the DASNY's Annual Procurement Report.

This bill would also authorize DASNY to pre-qualify bidders for
contracts that must be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder after
public advertisement, in order to provide DASNY with a method of
selecting qualified, responsible contractors that is more efficient
than the current post-bid review process. Pre-qualification would
reduce the time required to select contractors after their bids are
received and reviewed, thereby allowing construction projects to
commence sooner. And the use of pre-qualification would eliminate
costly, time-consuming litigation brought by disgruntled contractors
who were deemed to be not responsible after a bid. Pre-qualification
would reassure bidders that the quality of their bids alone would be
relevant to the award of the contract.

 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :

This bill would reduce the cost of public construction projects and
generate substantial savings for New York State taxpayers.

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect immediately, provided, however; that
sections 1 and 2 of the bill would expire on July 30, 2013.
