Common use of State Contract Process Clause in Contracts

State Contract Process. The SLA is an agreement between NYSDOT and the Sponsor and must be signed by the Responsible Local Official (as provided for in the resolution) and by an authorized NYSDOT official. In addition, State Finance Law requires all contracts in excess of $50,000 to be approved by the Office of the Attorney General (AG) and the Office of the State Comptroller (OSC) before they can become effective. Within NYSDOT, only designated officials in the Contract Management Bureau (CMB) and, depending on contract amounts, Main Office executive managers, have contract signatory authority. Regional NYSDOT officials do not have contract signatory authority for any SLA’s referenced in this manual. When the RLPL receives a signed SLA in proper form from the Sponsor, he or she will submit it to Main Office for signature and AG/OSC approval. Normally, it will take 60 to 90 days to return a fully-executed agreement to the Sponsor.
