Opinion
February 11, 1999
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Robert Lippmann, J.).
The record indicates that petitioner, having previously been found on seven occasions to have been non-responsible due to its failure to have electrical work it performed supervised by a licensed master electrician, thereafter concealed those determinations in responding to municipal questionnaires. General Municipal Law § 103 (1) provides for the awarding of contracts to the lowest responsible bidder. Petitioner's actions, and its lack of integrity, provided a rational basis for the challenged finding that it was not responsible (see, Matter of Positive Transp. v. City of N.Y. Dept. of Transp., 183 A.D.2d 660, 661).
