Any person who makes or causes to be made a false, deceptive or fraudulent representation in any statement required by the board of estimate to set forth the financial condition, present plant and equipment, working organization, prior experience, and other information pertinent to the qualifications of any bidder, shall be guilty of an offense punishable by a fine of not less than one hundred dollars nor more than one thousand dollars, by imprisonment for a period not exceeding six months, or both; and the person on whose behalf such false, deceptive or fraudulent representation was made, shall thenceforth be disqualified from bidding on any contracts for the city.
Each bidder whose bid is accepted shall give security for the faithful performance of his or her contract in the manner prescribed in the regulations of the board of estimate. The adequacy and sufficiency of such security, as well as the justification and acknowledgment thereof, shall be subject to the approval of the comptroller.
a. Every contract for or on behalf of the city for the manufacture, furnishing or purchasing of supplies, material or equipment or for the furnishing of work, labor or services, in an amount exceeding five thousand dollars, shall contain a stipulation, as a material condition of the contract, by which the contractor agrees that neither the contractor nor any substantially-owned affiliated company is participating or shall participate in an international boycott in violation of the provisions of the export administration act of nineteen hundred sixty-nine, as amended, or the regulations of the United States department of commerce promulgated thereunder.
b. Upon the final determination by the commerce department or any other agency of the United States as to, or conviction of any contractor or substantially-owned affiliated company thereof, participation in an international boycott in violation of the provisions of the export administration act of nineteen hundred sixty-nine, as amended, or the regulations promulgated thereunder, the comptroller may, at his or her option, render forfeit and void any contract containing the conditions specified in this section. In those instances where the comptroller determines that no action shall be taken pursuant to this section, the comptroller shall report the basis therefore to the city council.
