New York Supreme Court November 19, 2010 (Empire State Chapter of Associated Builders & Contractors, Inc. v. Smith)

OPINION OF THE COURT

Joseph R. Glownia, J.

In this action, plaintiffs challenge the 2008 amendments to certain statutes, collectively referred to as the Wicks Law. In general terms, these statutes require that public entities undertaking public work projects prepare separate bid specifications and award separate contracts for four subdivisions of work if the projects cost over a threshold amount.
