S5525B-2011 Memo

BILL NUMBER:S5525B

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the general municipal law, in relation to providing local
governments greater contract flexibility and cost savings by permitting
certain shared purchasing among political subdivisions;
and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon the expiration
thereof

PURPOSE OF BILL:
Authorizes municipalities and districts thereof to
contract for goods and services jointly with federal and any state or
other municipalities.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section 1 amends section 103 of the general
municipal law is amended by adding a new subdivision 16 to authorize
any officer, board or agency of a county, political subdivision or
any district therein authorized to make purchases of apparatus,
materials, equipment or supplies, or to contract for services, may
make such purchases, or may contract for such services, as may be
required by such county, political subdivision or district there on
through the use of a contract let by the United States of America or
any agency thereof any state or any other county or political
subdivision if such contract was let in a manner that constitutes
competitive bidding consistent with state law and made available for
use by other government entities.

Section 2 contains the effective date and provision for repeal five
years after such date.

JUSTIFICATION:
Cooperative purchasing, also commonly referred to as
piggy-backing, is a procurement method whereby if a government agency
has already gone through the procurement process and awarded a
contract to one or more venders for a particular product or service,
the contract can be utilized by other government agencies on the same
terms and conditions. Piggy-backing has been proven to reduce
administrative and product cost, increased efficiencies and stretch
shrinking budgets during difficult times.

Forty-eight states have either explicitly authorized cooperative
purchasing or they have enacted a general joint powers statute or
intergovernmental cooperation law that permits local public agencies
to purchase from cooperative contracts that were solicited by another
public agency. New York does not have statutory language in place
that authorizes cooperative purchasing between New York's local
governments and the federal, state or local governments elsewhere in
the United States. This bill would amend the General Municipal law to
allow for such cooperative purchasing.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
New Bill.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:


None to the State.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately, and shall
expire and be deemed repealed five years after such date.
