ALBANY – Amendments made by the Legislature to the Wicks Law, the 101-year-old state statute that requires multiple contracts on most public construction projects, were legally enacted, the state Court of Appeals decided Thursday.

The 6-0 court upheld the adoption of different limits on the size of construction projects falling within the Wicks bidding requirements: $3 million in New York City, $1.5 million in Nassau, Suffolk and Westchester counties and $500,000 elsewhere in the state. Previously, projects anywhere in the state exceeding $50,000 were subject to the Wicks Law.
