NY A07726

Contractors, subcontractors, and persons debarred by federal or state/territorial governments for violating Davis-Bacon Act employee obligations are ineligible to bid on or receive public work contracts with New York State, municipal corporations, public benefit corporations, or public bodies during the debarment period.

Substantially owned-affiliated entities of debarred contractors become ineligible for public work contracts for the remaining debarment period if they had substantial involvement in the day-to-day management of the debarred entity.

Debarred entities and their substantially owned-affiliated entities must be added to New York State's debarred entities list per Executive Order 192 of 2019.

Municipal officers, boards, and agencies awarding contracts must consider whether bidders or their substantially owned-affiliated entities have been debarred by federal, state, or territorial governments when determining the lowest responsible bidder.

The act takes effect one year after enactment and applies to public works bids and contracts solicited on or after the effective date, but does not apply retroactively to existing contracts.
