New Pierce-authored law improves responsibility in government contracts
A new law co-authored by Westchester County Legislator Erika Pierce requires bidders for county public works contracts of more than $35,000 to undergo an expanded vetting procedure.
The law, which passed unanimously, is aimed to help the county better determine who is the lowest responsible bidder for these contracts.
Pierce said that this legislation “helps set up a structured system for identifying when a bidder might be deemed non-responsible, and a system for documenting that status for future contracts opportunities, protecting tax payer money and producing better outcomes for our infrastructure projects.”
