The following items are not subject to competitive bidding pursuant to Section 102 of the General Municipal Law: purchase contracts under $10,000.00 and public works contracts under $20,000.00, emergency purchases; goods purchased from agencies for the blind or severely handicapped; goods purchased from correctional institutions; purchases under State and county contracts; and surplus and secondhand purchases from another governmental entity. d.

This policy will apply to all equipment rentals made throughout the year with prior Town Board approval per rental. 2. All goods and services which are the subject of this procurement policy will be secured by use of written request for proposals, written quotations, verbal quotations, or any other method that assures that goods will be purchased at the lowest price and that favoritism will be avoided, except in the following circumstances: purchase contracts over $10,000.00 and public works contracts over 820,000.00; goods purchased from agencies for the blind or ® correctional institutions pursuant to Section 175 -b of the State Finance Law; goods purchased from correctional institutions pursuant to Section 186 of the Correction Law, purchases under State contracts pursuant to Section 104 of the General Municipal Law; purchases under county contracts pursuant to Section 103(3) of the General Municipal Law; or purchases pursuant to subdivision 6 of this policy. 3.
