The Borough specifically adopts Section 2403 of the Administrative
Code of 1929, as amended by the Act of July 9, 1971, known as "Act 31,"
Cooperative Purchasing, and by this section requests authorization
to participate in purchase contracts of the Pennsylvania Department
of Property and Supplies and such other departments of the commonwealth
that permit political subdivisions to participate in or to purchase
contracts entered into by such departments. The Borough resolves that
it shall be bound by such terms and conditions as the appropriate
department of the commonwealth may require to purchase from such purchase
contracts or to participate in them and agrees to be responsible for
payment directly to the vendor under each purchase contract and understands
that all prices shall be F.O.B. destination. The Borough further,
pursuant to such Act, understands that it shall be exempt from statutory
requirements governing competitive bidding and the execution of contracts
with respect to the purchase of materials, supplies and equipment
under Section 2403 of the Act of April 9, 1929, as amended by the
Act of July 9, 1971, Act 31.
