Resolution
Establishing Purchase and Receipt of Goods, Materials and Services
It
shall be the policy of the Town to purchase goods, materials and services from
reliable vendors at the lowest cost to the town.
All
Departments, Boards, and Commissions budgeted to purchase goods, materials, and
services will adhere to the following procedures in connection with the
purchase and receipt of goods and services:

works for more than $20,000.00 shall be let through advertised sealed bids in
accordance with the General Municipal Law.
2. Purchase

(a)
Purchase
of goods and materials involving expenditures of less than $300.00 which

approval of the budget officer.
(b)
Quotations from at least two and preferably three vendors must
be obtained for all
Purchases over $300.00 for
material, supplies and equipment not purchased on State, County or Town contracts or bids.
Quotations may be obtained in writing or by telephone. In the latter case the purchaser will enter the quotations
listing: (i) Date of Quote, (ii) Items Quoted,
(iii) Vendor Name, (iv) Address and Phone number, (v) Prices Quoted, and (vi)

Board. Exceptions are purchases of bulk
operating material
routinely delivered, such as fuel and heating Fuel, bulk materials for highway
projects, or repair parts.
(d)
Qualified Town of Charlton vendors or goods, services, or materials purchased
by the
Town must be given the opportunity to quote. This is not intended to eliminate vendors outside Town boundaries.
(e)
Except when directed by the Town Board, no solicitation of written proposals or

Pickup Truck = Total mileage x
$.50/mile plus driver/helper hourly rates x trip time
Large Truck = Total mileage x $1.50/mile plus personnel
time as above
(g)
Selection
of vendor will be made on the basis of lowest delivered price assuming the
vendor meets delivery and specification requirements.
(h)
Qualified Town of Charlton vendors will be awarded the order or contract in
those cases where
delivered prices are equal and delivery dates are satisfactory on a
competitive basis.
(i)

Vouchers submitted to the supervisor for payment must be accompanied by the
vendor’s invoice where one exists.
The voucher will list each detailed item received and will be signed in the “Department Approval” block by the
employee of the Town physically receiving the goods or services to

Agencies, the principal interest of which are guaranteed by the U.S. or
obligations of New York State local government. Collateral shall be delivered to the Town of Charlton or a
custodial bank to the account of the Town of Charlton or to a Federal Reserve
Bank. The market value of collateral
supplied by any bank shall at all times equal or exceed the total principal
amount of certificates of deposit and time savings deposits held by the bank
less applicable FDIC coverage. The bank
selling the investment shall provide a list of collateral with the Town of
Charlton and report all changes in that list.
2. Written
