[Adopted 5-15-2017 by Ord. No. O-7-2017]
The position of Purchasing Agent created by this article for
the Township of Mantua shall be appointed annually by the Township
Committee at a salary established by the Township Committee in the
Salary Ordinance.
The Purchasing Agent appointed by the Township Committee shall
be a qualified purchasing agent pursuant to the qualifications set
forth within N.J.S.A. 40A:11-9 et seq.
The Purchasing Agent shall:
A.
Be assigned the authority, responsibility and accountability for
the purchasing activity pursuant to the New Jersey Local Public Contracts
Law (N.J.S.A. 40A: 11-1 et seq.); to prepare public advertising for
and to receive bids and requests for proposals for the provision or
performance of goods, services, and construction contracts; to award
contracts pursuant to New Jersey law in accordance with the regulations,
forms and procedures promulgated by state regulatory agencies; and
to conduct any activities as may be necessary or appropriate to the
purchasing function performed for the Township of Mantua.
B.
Supervise and administer all joint purchasing agreements between
the Township and other contracting units of the State of New Jersey.
C.
Perform such other duties as directed by the Chief Municipal Finance
Officer.
The Purchasing Agent is authorized to advertise for and receive
bids in connection with all purchases, contracts or agreements, in
accordance with the provisions of the Local Public Contracts Law;
however, the Township Committee shall be the contracting agent and
shall award such contracts and purchases as may be recommended by
the Purchasing Agent in excess of the bid threshold currently in effect.
[Amended 5-15-2017 by Ord. No. O-8-2017]
Having appointed a qualified Purchasing Agent pursuant to N.J.S.A.40A:11-9(b),
the Township desires and elects to increase the bid threshold to $40,000,
with a quote threshold of $6,000, pursuant to N.J.S.A.40A:11-3(a),
which threshold may be adjusted, from time to time, by the Governor
pursuant to N.J.S.A.40A:11-3(c). The Township Committee reserves,
however, the right and discretion to establish a lower bid threshold
to encourage greater competition between vendors.
