Notwithstanding any other provision with respect to purchase
contracts by competitive or purchase proposals and pursuant to the
provisions of General Municipal Law § 103, Subdivision 1,
the Town of Newstead may award such contracts to a responsive and
responsible bidder on the basis of best value, including contracts
for service work, but excluding any purchase contracts necessary for
the completion of a public works contract pursuant to Article 8 of
the Labor Law.
As used in this article, the following terms shall have the
meanings indicated:
BEST VALUE
Shall be in accord with the definition set forth in New York
State Finance Law § 163j, now enacted or hereinafter amended,

equality, cost and efficiency among responsive and responsible offerors.
Such basis shall reflect, whenever possible, objective and quantifiable
analysis.
