New York City Comptroller Brad Lander rejected the city’s no-bid $432 million migrant housing and care contract with medical services provider DocGo Wednesday — citing the company’s lack of expertise and other controversies.

“My office did not make this decision lightly. After a careful review, we are declining to approve this contract due to numerous outstanding concerns,” Lander said in a statement about his decision to return the Department of Housing Preservation and Development’s nine-figure deal with DocGo.

There is “little evidence” to suggest that DocGo — formerly known as Rapid Reliable Testing NY LLC — had the experience necessary to provide housing, transportation, and even social services to the thousands of migrants flooding the city each month, Lander continued.

“It is a medical services company, not a logistics company, social services provider, or legal service provider,” he pointed out in the denial letter, noting “reports of staff mistreating or misleading asylum seekers, failing to properly respond to reported assault incidents, and inadequate service provision [that] further exacerbate these concerns.”

Lander also cited previous reports of possible “inflation of the company’s financial value, interference with law enforcement, and workplace violations.”

Lander’s comments come shortly after news broke that DocGo was looking to springboard the New York City contract into a $4 billion federal gig, with CEO Anthony Capone boasting that the emergency deal gave the company “credibility” on a larger scale.

Lander cited Capone’s comments in his rejection, including the CEO’s “high degree of confidence” that the migrant crisis will buoy future revenues.

“Rather, the C.E.O. seems eager to capitalize on the fact that the longer asylum seekers remain in their care, the more the company’s revenues will grow under this contract,” Lander admonished.

The rejection blocks the city from paying DocGo under the current contract until the city housing agency either resubmits a less expensive version of the deal for approval or the company addresses the comptroller’s concerns. 

The mayor could also ignore Lander’s rejection and pay the current contract through an override. It remains up to DocGo whether it will continue to provide services during the process.

City Hall responded with an olive branch.

“With nearly 60,000 people currently in the city’s care and thousands more coming every month, we are doing everything we can to stop families from being forced to sleep on the streets, and we are hopeful our partners in the comptroller’s office will work with us toward that goal,” mayoral spokesperson Charles Kretchmer Lutvak said.

The comptroller actually approved the DocGo deal in July, Lutvak argued.

Lander, however, countered that his office only approved the use of emergency declaration and that the contract still needed formal oversight.

In addition to a probe by Attorney General Letitia James, DocGo is under scrutiny from Gov. Kathy Hochul after a review found that the company used unlicensed security guards at city migrant shelters.

DocGo’s contract with the city took effect on May 5, after Adams used the emergency order to avoid the bidding phase, the New York Times reported.

Lander has allegedly been trying to obtain the details of the agreement since then, and only just got access to the contract on Aug. 16, the outlet said.

Thus far, he noted, the city has only pledged about $15.3 million of its budget to pay DocGo’s invoices, despite racking up debts of over $70 million.

The paperwork also failed to back up claims that the city “exhausted” its efforts to find an alternative contractor that could do the work without a cash advance, Lander said.

The documents also revealed “contradictory statements” about DocGo’s ability to provide the necessary services, he added.

“DocGo, one of the nation’s largest logistics companies in the mobile healthcare space, has been successfully providing critical services to asylum seekers through an agreement with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) for more than four months,” a DocGo spokesperson told The Post Wednesday morning, shortly after Lander’s decision went public.

“We have thousands of asylum seekers currently in our care who rely on funding from the City for this program to receive case management, social work, food and housing. DocGo’s quick action to step up in the face of this crisis has been critical in helping the City meet the needs of the asylum seekers in our care.”

Despite Lander’s ruling, the spokesperson added, “we have received assurance from the Mayor’s office that NYC intends to fully pay DocGo for the services delivered under this contract, both historically and going forward.”
