 ing  business enterprises, in its procurement process, including but not
 limited to measures already authorized by state  and  local  legislation
 and rules and the measures authorized in this act.

 read as follows:
   1.  agencies  may  make  procurements  of  goods  [and],  services AND
 CONSTRUCTION for amounts not  exceeding  one  [hundred  fifty  thousand]
 MILLION  dollars  from  businesses certified [as minority or women-owned
 business enterprises] pursuant to section thirteen hundred four  of  the
 charter without a formal competitive process.
