Camille Joseph-Varlack, Adams’ chief of staff, said in a statement that scaling down the city’s relationship with DocGo is part of a cost-cutting move aimed at bringing down its spending on the influx. DocGo will continue to run its shelters upstate until City Hall chooses a new provider, Joseph-Varlack said. But the company’s shelters in the five boroughs will be transferred over to another contracted vendor — Garner Environmental Services — in the interim.
“My office repeatedly sounded the alarm on how ill prepared DocGo was to provide adequate services to asylum seekers,” the comptroller said. “Our contract review found little basis for why DocGo was the best contractor for this job, how the dollar amount for this contract was achieved, and who they planned to subcontract out to for security, hotel, and other services.”
