City Comptroller Scott Stringer has rejected a Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications contract four times this year, saying there were no apparent safeguards on the vendor’s rates.
“DOITT must be proactive in setting safeguards against overruns to truly change the way IT is done in New York City,” Stringer said of the DOITT’s proposed
$30 million contract with Computer Aid Incorporated.
But DOITT officials say the city has already determined that the rates negotiated with the company are “fair and reasonable,” based on a comparison of other contract rates.
