INTRODUCTION

The New York City Department of Sanitation (DSNY)’s primary mission is to keep New York City healthy, safe, and clean. This is accomplished by collecting, recycling, and disposing of waste, cleaning City streets and vacant lots, and removing snow and ice. DSNY is the nation's largest municipal sanitation agency, with nearly 10,000 employees, 59 district garages, and a fleet of more than 5,000 trucks, passenger vehicles, and other operational types of equipment. The Department clears litter, snow, and ice from approximately 6,500 miles of City streets and removes debris from vacant lots as well as abandoned vehicles from City streets.

The Bureau of Legal Affairs (BLA) Contracts Division advises Department staff on procurement issues relating to the provision of services and purchase of equipment, as well as construction contracts relating to DSNY’s facilities. Contract attorneys prepare and negotiate contract documents, as well as review and revise contracts, solicitations, and correspondence prepared by operating bureau contracting staff and the Agency’s Chief Contracting Office (“ACCO”).
