Someone cleaned up nicely!
A Florida-based firm scored $20 million worth of no-bid contracts with the Big Apple to provide emergency shower trailers to migrant shelters across the five boroughs, including the Creedmoor Psychiatric Center in Queens.
City records show Imperial Restrooms Inc. recently secured two contracts — one for $18 million with the city Department of Environmental Protection and another for $2 million with the Department for Citywide Administrative Services to install “Shower Trailers for Asylum Seekers.”
The DEP contract will provide shower trailers for “up to 10 sites,” according to city records, as first reported by Gothamist.
“The cost of the shower contract sounds high. Why are we using a contract from Florida?” said city Councilwoman Gale Brewer (D-Manhattan), who chairs the Council’s Oversight and Investigation Committee.
