Ch 22 Art I Best-Value Basis
§ 22-3 Authority.
§ 22-4 Best-value competitive bidding.
Article I: Best-Value Basis
[Adopted 2-11-2015 by L.L. No. 1-2015]
This article shall be known and cited as the "Town of Pleasant Valley Best Value Competitive Bidding Law."
The intent of this article is to allow the Town Board the option to award certain purchase contracts (including contracts for services) subject to competitive bidding under General Municipal Law § 103 on the basis of low bid or "best value" as defined in § 163 of New York State Finance Law.
This article is enacted pursuant to New York State General Municipal Law § 103.
Authority and purpose. New York General Municipal Law § 103(1) allows the Town to authorize, by local law, the award of certain purchase contracts (including contracts for services) subject to competitive bidding under General Municipal Law § 103 on the basis of "best value" as defined in § 163 of the New York State Finance Law. The "best value" option may be used, for example, if it is more cost efficient over time to award the good or service to other than the lowest responsible bidder or offerer if factors such as lower cost of maintenance, durability, high quality and longer product life can be documented.
Award based on best value. The Town Board may award purchase contracts, including contracts for services, on the basis of "best value" as the term is defined in New York State Finance Law § 163. All awards based on value shall require Town Board approval.
Applicability. The provisions of this article apply to Town purchase contracts, including contracts for services, involving an expenditure of more than $20,000, but excluding purchase contracts necessary for the completion of a public works contract pursuant to Article 8 of the New York Labor Law and any other contract that may in the future be excluded under state law from the best-value option. If the dollar thresholds of New York General Municipal Law § 103 are increased or decreased in the future by the State Legislature, the dollar thresholds set forth herein shall be deemed simultaneously amended to match the new General Municipal Law thresholds.
Goods and services procured and awarded on the basis of best value are those that the Town Board determines optimize quality, cost and efficiency, among responsive and responsible bidder or offerers.
Procurement policy superseded where inconsistent. Any inconsistent provision of the Town's procurement policy, as adopted prior to the effective date of this article by resolution of the Town Board, or as amended thereafter, shall be deemed superseded by the provisions of this article.
