Every purchase to be made must be initially reviewed to determine whether it is a purchase contract or a public works contract. b. Once that determination is made, a good faith effort shall be made to determine whether it is known or can reasonably be expected that the aggregate amount to be spent on the item of supply or service is not subject to competitive bidding, taking into account past purchases and the aggregate amount to be spent in a year. c. The following items are not subject to competitive bidding pursuant to Section 102 of the General Municipal Law: purchase contracts under $10,000 and public works contracts under $20,000; 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. The decision that a purchase is not subject to competitive bidding will be documented in writing by the individual making the purchase. This documentation may include written or verbal quotes from vendors, a memo from the purchaser indicating how the decision was arrived at, a copy of the contract indicating the source which makes the item or service exempt, a memo from the purchaser detailing the circumstances which led to an emergency purchase, or any other written documentation that is appropriate. e. 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 requests 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 and public works contracts over $20,000; 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. The time and documentation required to purchase goods and services under $1,000.00 through this policy may be more costly than the item itself and would therefore not be in the best interests of the taxpayer. In addition, it is not likely that such de minimis contracts would be awarded based on favoritism. The following are the minimum requirements necessary for purchases and /or equipment rentals when the amount to be expended in any one year exceeds $1,000 as required by this policy in order to achieve the highest savings: Amount of Purchase Contract or Rental (under $10,000) Method under $1,000 No action required $1,000 - $4,999 2 Verbal quotations or catalog pricing $5,000 - $9,999 3 Written/fax quotations, written requests for proposals or catalog pricing Estimated Amount of Public Works Contract (under $20,000) Method under $1,000 No action required $1,000 - $9,999 2 Written/fax quotations $10,000 - $19,999 3 Written /fax quotations, written requests for proposals A good faith effort shall be made to obtain the required number of proposals or quotations. If the purchaser is unable to obtain the required number of proposals or quotations, the purchaser will document the attempt made at obtaining the proposals. 4. Documentation is required of each action taken in connection with each procurement. 5. Documentation and an explanation is required whenever a contract is awarded to other than the lowest responsible offerer. This documentation will include an explanation of how the award will achieve savings or how the offerer was not responsible. A determination that the offerer is not responsible shall be made by the purchaser and documented. 6. Pursuant to General Municipal Law Section 104- b(2)(0, this procurement policy recognizes circumstances when, or types of procurements for which, in the sole discretion of the purchaser, the solicitation of alternative proposals or quotations will not be in the best interests of the TOWN. Those types of procurements include: a. Professional services or services requiring special or technical skill, training or expertise. The individual or company must be chosen based on accountability, reliability, responsibility, skill, education and training, judgment, integrity, and moral worth. These qualifications are not necessarily found in the individual or company that offers the lowest price and the nature of these services are such that they do not readily lend themselves to competitive procurement procedures. In determining whether a service fits into this category the TOWN BOARD shall take into consideration the following guidelines: (a) whether the services are subject to State licensing or testing requirements; (b) whether substantial formal education or training is a necessary prerequisite to the performance of the services; and (c) whether the services require a personal relationship between the individual and municipal officials. Professional or technical services shall include but not be limited to the following: services of an attorney; services of a physician; technical services of an engineer engaged to prepare plans, maps and estimates; securing insurance coverage and /or services of an insurance broker; services of a certified public accountant; investment management services; printing services involving extensive writing, editing or art work; management of • municipally owned property; and computer software or programming services for customized programs, or services involved in substantial modification and customizing of prepackaged software. b.Repair of equipment and machinery and maintenance items i.e.: toner, ribbons, oil filters, nuts & bolts etc. These can be specialized items . The purchaser will obtain at least two verbal, written, faxed or catalog prices. It is up to the purchaser which product to purchase. c. Emergency purchases pursuant to Section 103(4) of the General Municipal Law. Due to the nature of this exception, these goods or services must be purchased immediately and a delay in order to seek alternate proposals may threaten life, health, safety or welfare of the residents. This section does not preclude alternate proposals if time permits. d. Purchases of surplus and secondhand goods from any source. If alternate proposals are required, the purchaser is allowed to purchase surplus and secondhand goods at auctions or through specific advertised sources where the best prices are usually obtained. Prior Town Board approval is required for amounts over $1,000.00 7. This policy shall go into effect immediately and will be reviewed annually. 2nd Cl T Hatfield Roll Call vote - all voting Yes RESOLUTION 954 TOWN OF DRYDEN PURCHASE ORDER SYSTEM Cl T Hatfield offered the following resolution and asked for its adoption: RESOLVED; that this Town Board adopt the following purchase order system for the Town of Dryden for the year 1998.
