[Adopted 2-13-2014 by L.L. No. 1-2014]
Pursuant to General Municipal Law § 103(1), as amended,
the Town is authorized to adopt a local law which would permit the
Town to use the "best value" standard in awarding purchase contracts
(including contracts for service work, but excluding any purchase
contracts necessary for completion of a public works contract pursuant
to Article 8 of the Labor Law) by competitive bidding or accepting
offers for purchase. The Town determines that it is in the best interests
of the Town that such legislation be enacted and that such standard
be used in the Town where appropriate for the award of such contracts.
As used in this chapter, the following terms shall have the
following meanings:
Best value as defined in State Finance Law § 163,
as such may be amended from time to time.
All purchase contracts, including service contracts, but
excluding any purchase contracts necessary for the completion of a
public works contract to Article 8 of the Labor Law, as such may be
amended from time to time.
A.
Pursuant
to the provisions of General Municipal Law § 103, the Town
Board is hereby authorized, if and when it is determined by such Board
to be in the best interests of the Town, to award a particular purchase
contract on the basis of best value.
B.
Such
authority may be exercised by the Town Board with regard to any such
purchase contract whether or not it reaches the threshold requiring
competitive bidding pursuant to General Municipal Law § 103.
This chapter shall be effective immediately upon filing with
the Secretary of State.
If any clause, sentence, paragraph or section of this chapter
shall be held to be invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction,
or the application of this chapter to any person or set of circumstances
shall be held to be invalid, such invalidity or judgment shall not
affect, impair, or invalidate the remainder hereof but shall be confined
in its operation to the clause, sentence, paragraph section or operation
of this chapter directly involved in the controversy in which the
judgment shall have been rendered. To further this end, the provisions
of this chapter are hereby declared to be severable.
