A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to requiring the commissioner of transportation to create an online capital project tracker

 

Be it enacted by the Council as follows:

 

Section 1. Section 19-1201 of the administrative code of the city of New York, as added by a local law for the year 2025 amending the administrative code of the city of New York, relating to tracking progress made towards the requirements of the streets master plan, as proposed in introduction number 1105-A, is amended by adding a new definition of “non-benchmark project” in alphabetical order to read as follows:

Non-benchmark project. The term “non-benchmark project” means a department capital project that is not a benchmark project.

§ 2. Section 19-1202 of the administrative code of the city of New York, as added by a local law for the year 2025 amending the administrative code of the city of New York, relating to tracking progress made towards the requirements of the streets master plan, as proposed in introduction number 1105-A, is amended by adding a new subdivision b to read as follows:

b. For each non-benchmark project, the department shall post on its website, and update three times per year, at least the following information:

1. A description of the non-benchmark project, including its location, indicating a street address if applicable, community district, and borough, and a finalized design of such non-benchmark project developed by or on behalf of the department if one exists, unless the commissioner determines that including such design may be a security risk;

2. The agency responsible for the non-benchmark project and the project liaison;

3. For a non-benchmark project that is a major transportation project, a link to the street design checklist required by section 19-182.2;

4. The actual or estimated start date and completion date, if any, of each phase of the non-benchmark project, and a visual or numerical representation of the amount of work completed on such non-benchmark project compared against the total amount of work required to complete such non-benchmark project;

5. The current status of the non-benchmark project, including but not limited to whether such non-benchmark project is in the design, procurement, or construction phase, and, for the construction phase, the percent complete as indicated by the amount of money spent;

6. A description of any phase of the non-benchmark project that is delayed and the reason for such delay;

7. If commencement of the non-benchmark project requires presentation to a community board, the date of the presentation, if available, and a copy of any materials presented to such community board after such presentation is made;

8. Information about the funding for the non-benchmark project including identification of whether the funding comes from a city or non-city source, the total amount of funds allocated to such non-benchmark project or, when applicable, a range of the amount of funds available for such non-benchmark project, and the amount of funds already expended;

9. Publicly available information about contractors or other vendors providing services on the non-benchmark project, and on all procurements and contracts associated with such project, or a link to a website where such publicly available information may be found; and

10. Any actual cost overruns for each phase of the non-benchmark project, and the reason for such cost overrun.

§ 3. This local law takes effect on the same date that a local law for the year 2025 amending the administrative code of the city of New York, relating to tracking progress made towards the requirements of the streets master plan, as proposed in introduction number 1105-A, takes effect.
