The New York City Department of Investigation (DOI) is one of the oldest law enforcement agencies in the country with a mission of combating municipal corruption. It serves the people of New York City by acting as an independent and nonpartisan watchdog for New York City government, City agencies, and City employees, vendors with City contracts, individuals, and entities that receive City funds.
Within DOI's Vendor Integrity Unit, the BT-2 unit is conducting a proactive monitorship over a New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Capital Construction project. The Roundout - West Branch Bypass Tunnel Construction & Wawarsing Repairs Project (BT-2) consists of connecting two water shafts, 700 to 900 feet in depth, to a bypass tunnel and extending the bypass tunnel approximately 2.5 miles in length to ensure the continuous delivery of clean drinking water for New Yorkers.
