1 fairly, and cost effectively. Assuringlhat public funds are spent Avisely will, in"tum, encowage

2 private sector firms now located in lower Manhattan to remain, and stimulate other firms to

3 invest in the area. This effort requires an unprecedented level of coordination among the public

4 and private organizations responsible for the redevelopment. The purpose of this legislation is to

5 make that coordination possible.

6 By allowing public agencies to plan their work with the utilities and make joint

7 purchases, the legislation will promote speed, reduce public disruption, and lower costs. By

8 subjecting public agencies to rules that promote high quality work, environmental safety, and

9 fairness, we will further promote the public interest. The agencies will be able to solicit

10 competitive bids from pre-qualified bidders with a record of specific performance, and of

11 harmonious labor relations, on previous projects. For large projects, they will utilize contractors

12 that have state-approved apprentice training programs, assuring opportunity as well as high

13 quality work. By using low sulfur diesel fuel and, where practicable, retrofitting construction

14 machinery, the agencies will reduce harmful emissions and protect our environment. And by

15 requiring the agencies to establish procedures that assure participation of minority and women

16 owned businesses, the legislation will promote fairness in the construction of these projects.

17 Ultimately, these provisions will help the public and private sectors to bring to the

18 redevelopment of lower Manhattan the same sense of purpose, urgency, and harmony that they

19 brought to the clean up at the World Trade Center site.

20 §3. Definitions. As used or referred to in this act, unless a different meaning
