SUFFOLK COUNTY ADMINISTRATIVE CODE SECTION A5-7
§ A5-7. Contractors and vendors required to submit full disclosure
statement. [Derived from L.L. No. 14-1976, as amended 2-27-1979 by L.L.
No. 6-1979]
A. Definitions. As used in this section, the following terms shall have the
meanings indicated:
CONTRACT - Any written agreement between Suffolk County and a
contractor or vendor to do or perform any kind of labor, service, purchase,
construction or public work, unless the contract is for a federally or state-
aided, in whole or in part, program required to be bid pursuant to § 103 of
the New York General Municipal Law. [Amended 6-29-1993 by L.L. No.
28-1993~]
NOTE: L.L. No. 28-1993 also provided as follows:
Section 1. Legislative Intent.
This Legislature hereby finds and determines that Suffolk County's comprehensive
Contractor/Vendor Public Disclosure Statement Law currently applies to a broad array of
contracts that exceed one thousand dollars {$1,000.) in value, subject to exemptions for
contractors doing business with the County Department of Social Services; hospitals;
educational, medical, and governmental entities; and not-for-profit corporations.
This Legislature further finds and determines that these exemptions prevent full
disclosure of important information that may be useful to elected county officials in
determining whether or not specific types of contracts are in the public interest, especially
in light of recent trends towards privatization and use of outside consultants on an
increased basis by municipalities.
Therefore, the purpose of this law is to eliminate many of the exemptions from completing
and filing verified public disclosure statements with the County Comptroller available to
certain contractors providing social services or health services contracts.
CONTRACTOR or VENDOR [Amended 12-18-1990 by L.L No. 41-
19902; 6-29-1993 by L.L. No. 28-19933] -
Any proprietorship, partnership or closely held corporation which has a
contract with Suffolk County in excess of one thousand dollars ($1,000.) or
which has three (3) or more contracts with Suffolk County, any three (3) of
which, when combined, exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000.), except:
(1) Hospitals.
(2) Educational or governmental entities.
