The Long Island Rail Road

City-funded organization

The Long Island Rail Road is the commuter railroad serving Long Island and Penn Station in Manhattan, incorporated in 1834 and operated by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), a New York State public authority, since 1968; it is the busiest commuter railroad in North America. Its relationship with New York City government is as a co-party on force-account agreements with the Department of Transportation, Department of Environmental Protection, and Department of Design and Construction, mostly for rehabilitation of bridges that cross LIRR tracks (including the Atlantic Avenue Bridge, 149th Street Bridge, and 5th Avenue Bridge in Brooklyn and Queens). These agreements make up $42 million in city contracts registered since 2008, of which 100% of contract value was awarded without a fresh competitive bid, consistent with the "Negotiated (real-property/other)" and "Emergency" award types recorded for these contracts.
