Creation of a database to track capital projects citywide, and to repeal section 18-145 of such administrative code.

A Local Law to amend the New York city charter and the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the creation of a database to track capital projects citywide, and to repeal section 18-145 of such administrative code

This bill would require the establishment of an interagency task force consisting of representatives of at least seven Mayoral agencies and offices to create and implement a public online capital projects database. The database would consist of an interactive and searchable public database (updated on a triannual basis) containing information about capital projects citywide. The bill would also require an advisory board, consisting of representatives from the Mayor’s office, the Council, and the Comptroller, that would advise the task force on the development of the public online capital projects database. To the extent deemed practicable by the task force, the database would include information for each project including the name, location and current phase, as well as information related to the project schedule and cost. Upon publication of the database, this bill would require any agency implementing a capital project for which information or data is published in the database to include a link to the public online capital projects database on that agency’s website.
