WHEREAS, comments have been solicited from those officers of the town involved with procurement; NOW, THEREFORE, be it

RESOLVED: That the Town of Grand Island does hereby adopt the following procurement policies and procedures:

GUIDELINE 1. Every prospective purchase of goods or services shall be

evaluated to determine the applicability of GML, S103.

Every town officer, board, department head or other

personnel with the requisite purchasing authority (hereinafter Purchaser) shall estimate the cumulative

amount of the items of supply or equipment needed in a

given fiscal year. That estimate shall include the canvass

of other town departments and past history to determine the likely value of the commodity to be acquired. The information gathered and conclusions reached shall be documented and kept with the file or other documentation supporting the purchase activity.

GUIDELINE 2. All purchases of a) supplies or equipment which will

exceed $10,000 in the fiscal year or b) public works

contracts over $20,000 shall be formally bid pursuant to

GML, S103.

GUIDELINE 3. All estimated purchases of:

· Less than $10,000 but greater than $5,000 require a

written Request For Proposal sent to at least 3 vendors and written/faxed quotes received from at least 2 of the vendors, with a good faith effort to obtain a written/faxed response from all solicited vendors. (see guideline 5)

· Less than $5,000 but greater than $3,000 require an oral request for the goods to be given to at least 2 vendors and oral/faxed quotes received from at least 1 vendor with a good faith effort to obtain an oral/faxed response from all solicited vendors. (see guideline 5)

· Less than $3,000 but greater than $250.00 are left to the discretion of the purchaser.

GUIDELINE 3 con’t. All estimated public works contracts of:

· Less than $20,000 but greater than $10,000 require a written Request For Proposal to be sent to at least 3 contractors and written/faxed proposal received from at least 2 contractors, with a good faith effort to obtain a written/faxed response from all solicited contractors. (see guideline 5)

All written Request for Proposal shall describe the desired goods, quantity and the particulars of delivery. The Purchaser shall compile a list of all vendors from whom written/fax/oral quotes have been requested and the written/fax/oral quotes offered.

All information gathered in complying with the procedures of this Guideline shall be preserved and filed with the documentation supporting the subsequent purchase or public works contract.

GUIDELINE 4. The lowest responsible proposal or quote shall be awarded the purchase or public works contract unless the

purchaser prepares a written justification providing

reasons why it is in the best interest of the town and its

taxpayers to make an award to other than the low bidder.

If a bidder is not deemed responsible, facts supporting that

judgement shall be documented and filed with the record

supporting the procurement.

GUIDELINE 5. 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 shall document the attempt

made at obtaining the proposals. In no event shall the

inability to obtain the proposals or quotes be a bar to the

procurement.

written proposals or quotations shall be required under the

following circumstances:

a) Acquisition of professional services;

b) Emergencies;

c) Sole source situations;
