Matter of Diamond Asphalt Corp. v Sander (92 NY2d 244)

New York City solicited bids for all aspects of work involved in a public street repaving project, including utility interference work, pursuant to a joint bidding agreement among New York City, Consolidated Edison, New York Telephone and Empire City Subway. The City awarded the contract to the contractor that submitted the lowest aggregate bid, irrespective of the discrete costs associated with the utility interference work. The Court invalidated the joint bidding agreement, holding that private utility interference work does not constitute "public work" for purposes of determining the lowest responsible bidder under General Municipal Law § 103(1). On a related issue, the Court held that bypass contractor selection authority (avoiding low bidder requirements), formerly vested in the defunct Board of Estimate by the replaced City Charter, was not transferred solely to the Mayor under revised New York City Charter § 313(b)(2).
