Bill > S04510

This bill requires the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) to implement new certification requirements for contractors and subcontractors performing industrial painting and industrial coating work. Specifically, contractors must certify that their work meets minimum standards established by the comptroller, with additional requirements for projects involving hazardous materials like lead-based paint. The comptroller, in coordination with the office of general services, must develop guidelines for these certifications, considering industry standards from organizations like the Association for Materials Protection and Performance (AMPP). The guidelines will include establishing specific requirements for employees, such as mandatory trainings or certifications, and must take into account environmental impact and public health and safety. Contractors must keep their certifications current throughout the contract duration. The bill will take effect 180 days after becoming law and will apply to MTA contract opportunities advertised after that date, excluding contracts already in the bidding process.
