Restler questions B2G scope and Big Five participation
Restler asks whether B2G is a new platform and whether it will capture awards, spend, and subcontracting for every city agency. Garner confirms it will cover the Big Five agencies and provide one centralized platform for all MWBE activity.
And just to make sure that I properly understand how it's worked at the state level.
So we're just so I get it.
We're expanding an existing state platform.
So that city agency or it's a new.
No, it's a new platform that that that we issued an RFP and secure the services of a of a firm to help us build out this project.
Existing state resource.
Well, no.
So I was only using the state as an example of how the state.
So this is a new thing that we're creating.
Yes, it is.
And so every city agency, so that data system or that platform will capture the awards and spend of every city agency's contracts?
Yes.
And indicate whether they're MWEs and you think will comprehensively capture subcontracting as well through that system?
Yes.
DOE, NYCHA, health and hospitals, ED.
DC and the school construction authority are all going to fully participate?
Yes.
So what we agreed with the city controller, that we are going to create one centralized platform that will highlight all of our MWBE activity.
