DocGo?

More like DocGONE.

John, this week the Adams Administration announced that it’s cutting ties with controversial vendor DocGo after my repeated warnings. This is a BIG win for New York City taxpayers.

Here’s a concise rundown of how it all happened:

1.
Last
fall,
my
office
reviewed
the
City’s
exorbitantly-priced
$432
million
no-bid
contract
with
DocGo.
We
identified
many
red
flags
—
starting
with
the
fact
that
DocGo
is
a
medical
services
vendor,
NOT
a
housing,
social
services,
or
legal
services
provider
—
the
very
services
it
was
hired
to
provide
to
asylum
seekers.
2.
3.
In
September,
we
rejected
the
DocGo
contract
and
initiated
a
real-time
audit.
The
Adams
Administration
proceeded
with
the
contract
despite
our
objections.
4.
5.
Over
the
next
several
months,
my
office
continued
to
voice
concerns,
highlighting
issues
such
as
DocGo’s
inflated
financial
value,
interference
with
law
enforcement,
and
workplace
violations.
We
found
little
basis
for
why
DocGo
was
the
best
contractor
for
this
job,
or
how
the
pricey
$432
million
contract
was
reached.
6.
7.
Finally,
after
mounting
pressure,
the
Adams
Administration
announced
it
would
move
away
from
DocGo.

I’m relieved that the Adams Administration heeded my advice. Nonetheless, the haphazard management of the DocGo contract exemplifies the need for more compassionate, common sense management in New York City.

Which is why I need to ask:

Can you make a one-time contribution to support my work as New York City Comptroller? I’m doing everything I can to ensure that our City is running efficiently and that money is being spent prudently — but I can’t do it without your help. [[link removed]]

P.S. Instead of Mayor Adams’ cruel shelter eviction policy, we should focus on the legal services and workforce development that helps immigrants get on their feet, move out of shelter, and find employment. This is by far the quickest, most cost-effective, and most compassionate approach that treats asylum seekers with dignity.
