standard as part of the Village of Newark's procurement policies.
B.
"Best values" defined in New York State Finance Law § 163.
When awarding contracts under the best value standard, the Village

may identify as a quantitative factor whether offerers are small businesses

may only be used for purchase contracts, which included contracts
for service work, but excluded any purchase contracts necessary for
the completion of a public works contract pursuant to Article 8 of
the Labor Law.
The Village of Newark shall update its procurement policy in
accordance with the provisions of this chapter.
This chapter shall take effect immediately upon filing with
the Secretary of State in accordance with § 27 of the Municipal
Home Rule Law.
