Qualified Personal Services Contracts
On June 4, 2008, Governor Paterson issued Executive Order No. 6: Ensuring the Cost-Effectiveness of Contracts for Personal Services. The Executive Order aims to ensure that agencies enter into such contracts only after considering whether State employees can practicably meet the same needs by providing services of the same or better quality at an equivalent or lower cost.
In particular, Executive Order No. 6 requires that agencies report information regarding Qualified Personal Services Contracts (QPSCs) to a Task Force and on their agencies’ websites. A QPSC is any new, renewed, or amended State agency contract with any non-State entity pursuant to State Finance Law §163 or §136-A, under which:
- The contract was approved on or after August 4, 2008;
- The agency believes that a majority of the costs of the contract are attributable to compensation of the contractor’s personnel; and
- The agency can reasonably anticipate it will incur costs for the personnel service component of $1 million or more over any twelve-month period.
Below is information regarding all Division contracts that meet the criteria described above:
| Contract Number | Vendor | Contract Value | Reason for Entering into Contract |
|---|---|---|---|
| C000363 | Toski, Schaefer & Co. | 5,623,950 | New York State is required by Federal Single Audit Act to have an annual, independent financial and compliance audit of its expenditures of Federal Funds. United States Code specifies that this audit is to be conducted by an independent auditor. |
Copies of QPSCs are available upon request and are subject to disclosure rules set forth in Freedom of Information Law (Public Officers Law Article 6). Requests should reference the relevant Vendor and Contract number. The Division may charge for copying at a rate of $.25/page.
