Tougher Oversight of City contract disputes
Mary Jo Markle
Concerned about the complaints he heard from subcontractors - especially woman and minority-owned firms - about city general contractors, Sam worked to enable the City Ombudsman to review contract disputes.
On May 17, Council unanimously passed a resolution requiring all city contractors who hire subcontractors to have established contract dispute resolution processes.
The resolution passed by Council enables the Ombudsman to match the dispute to the established dispute resolution process and ensure that the process was followed.
