Council Member Pierina Sanchez inquires about the delays in the DOB Now contract and their potential impact on departmental goals, including the implementation of recently passed sidewalk bills. DOB officials explain the current status of the contract renewal process with Spruce and the resulting timeline delays.
- Contract renewal with Spruce is in process for the remaining funded scope
- Exact timeline for contract registration and full implementation is not yet available
- DOB is working with the controller and MOCS to complete the process as quickly as possible

The preliminary plan delays the contract on DOB now, so what does this mean for some of the higher level goals that we all had, right?
4:37:21
The sidewalk bills passing tomorrow.
4:37:25
What what are what are these contract delays gonna be?
James "Jimmy" S. Oddo

We'll let deputy deputy commissioner Yugarte talk about the contract specifically, then I'll talk about DOB now more generally after.
Gina Ugarte
4:37:41
So we're currently in the process of entering into a renewal contract with Spruce for the remainder of the funded scope.
4:37:47
So what that means in terms of timeline is delay, right, if a contract is registered later on than originally intended.
4:37:58
And that's the reasons for the roles that you saw in the preliminary plan.
Pierina Sanchez
4:38:10
So do you have a sense of when it will be fully registered and up and running?
Gina Ugarte
4:38:17
We're continuing to work with the controller and mocks to get this completed.
4:38:23
And I don't have a specific timeline now, but we certainly are working as quickly as possible to get this completed.
