§ 24-50. Legislative intent.  


Latest version.
  • In January 2012, the New York State Legislature amended General Municipal Law § 103 to allow certain purchase contracts to be awarded on the basis of "best value," as that phrase is currently defined in § 163 of the State Finance Law. The amendment further provides that the use of "best value" in the procurement process must be authorized by local law. The Town Board believes it to be in the best interests of the Town to utilize the "best value" standard in the procurement process as authorized by the amendment as it optimizes quality, cost and efficiency.
