Set-Aside Program
Set-Aside Program Legislation originally enacted in 1975 under the Public Authorities Law, Sections 1695 through 1699r, allows the Authority to designate purchases and contracts for construction and services at four City University campuses to be bid by small business concerns only, with a portion exclusively reserved for bidding by minority business concerns. The four set-aside campuses are Bronx and Hostos Community Colleges, Medgar Evers College and York College. The Set-Aside Program facilitates the participation of small and minority-owned businesses in major long term capital construction projects to gain experience to more effectively compete in the open market.
Activities under this program segment include all activities outlined under the Construction Contracting Program plus procedures to waive payment and performance bond requirements and authorization for bi-monthly requisition payments for participating M/SBEs.
