Update: Public Works contracts on hold | Print |  E-mail

The Mayor's Office has issued an update on the status of Public Works contracts that were placed on hold in connection with federal indictments. Here is an excerpt: 
As the result of the federal indictments issued in January of this year certain contracts were placed on hold while they were analyzed and evaluated by Public Works and legal counsel. While Public Works initially reported that 49 contracts were the subject of a hold and review, it was ultimately determined that many of these matters were already 100% complete or could be completed internally. At the end of the analysis 17 contracts are at issue. These contracts fall into two categories: Consulting (design and inspection services) and Construction (where design work is complete and construction has commenced.)
