Tell City Hall:
Cut Private Contractors, Not Public Services!

Send an email to Mayor Bloomberg
Send an email to your City Council member
Tell them that you want the city to save $9 billion by eliminating costly private contracts and allowing city workers to do the jobs for less and with more accountability.

Massive Waste at a Time of Need

AN EXAMINATION OF NYC'S CONTRACTING OUT OF PUBLIC SERVICES WITH RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SAVINGS

Since July 2005, funding for the city's contract budget has increased rapidly, climbing to a record cost of $9.2 billion for more than 18,000 contracts. This is equivalent to 15% of the city's tax-levy budget and more than 46% of the city's controllable spending.

DC 37's analysis in this 2009 white paper focuses on only ten contracts spread over eight city agencies listed below along with the potential savings that could be realized if the work were performed, as we propose, by city workers. For details, click here. (PDF)*

Dept. of Health and Mental Hygiene - $8.8 million
Human Resources Administration and Dept. of Education temporary clericals - $2.4 million
Human Resources Administration custodial services - $14.5 million
Dept. of Information Technology & Telecommunications - $21.6 million
DoITT 311 Call Center System - $4.3 to $5 million
Dept. of Homeless Services - $51 million
Dept. of Parks and Recreation - $12.6 million
Dept. of Education school food services - $3.9 millions
