TOWN OF BOSTON – RESOLUTION NO. 2026 - 30
UPDATE PROCUREMENT POLICY
WHEREAS, in 2023 New York expanded enforcement and interpretation of prevailing wage
rules, particularly around maintenance, service, and system work performed for public entities
under Articles 8 and 9 of the NY Labor Law; and
WHEREAS, to bolster compliance with the requirements of Article 8 and 9 of the NYS Labor
Law relating to prevailing wage, a new guideline is being added to the Town’s procurement
policy directing that prior to the procurement and execution of any contract that may involve
public work particularly in the fields of construction, reconstruction, alteration, repair,
installation, or maintenance of public buildings, structures, or infrastructure performed by
laborers, mechanics, or trades, the responsible department head shall review the scope of work to
determine whether prevailing wage requirements may apply and where such requirements apply,
the applicable prevailing wage schedules and certified payroll requirements should be worked
into the contract documents.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Town of Boston does hereby update the
Town’s procurement policies and procedures for this year:
Guideline 1: General
Every prospective purchase of goods or services shall be evaluated to determine the applicability of
General Municipal Law, Sec. 103. 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 yearly value of the
commodity to be acquired. The information gathered and conclusions reached shall be documented
and kept with the file documentation supporting the purchase activity.
Guideline 2: Bidding
All purchases of (a) supplies or equipment which will exceed $20,000 in the fiscal year; or (b) public
works contracts over $35,000 shall be formally bid pursuant to GML, Sec. 103.
Guideline 3: Purchases Below Bidding Threshold
1. All estimated purchases of supplies or equipment of less than $20,000 but greater than
$10,000 require a written request for a proposal (RFP) and written/fax quotes from three
vendors; less than $10,000 but greater than $5,000 require an oral request/fax quotes from at
least three vendors; less than $5,000 but greater than $1,500 require an oral request for the
goods and oral/fax quotes from 3 vendors if possible; less than $1,500 are left to the discretion
of the Purchaser.
Page 1 of 5
Page 44
2. All estimated public works contracts of less than $35,000 but greater than $20,000 require a
written request for proposal (RFP) and fax/proposals from 3 contractors; less than $20,000
but greater than $10,000 require a written request for proposal and fax/proposals from at least
2 contractors; less than $10,000 but greater than $5,000 require an oral or written request for
quote and fax/proposals from 2 contractors; less than $5,000 but greater than $1,500 require
an oral request for the goods and oral/fax quotes from 3 vendors if possible; less than $1,500
are left to the discretion of the Purchaser.
3. Any written RFP 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 offered.
4. 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: Best Value
1. Purpose: The Town Board of the Town of Boston seeks to exercise the local option set
forth in § 103, Subdivision 1, of the New York General Municipal Law, as amended by
Chapter 608 of the Laws of 2011 and Chapter 2 of the Laws of 2012, which amendment
authorizes the Town to award purchase contracts and contracts for services subject to
competitive bidding under General Municipal Law § 103 on the basis of either lowest
responsible bidder or "best value" as defined in § 163 of the New York State Finance
Law. The "best value" option may be used if it is more cost efficient over time to award
the good or service to other than the lowest responsible bidder if factors such as lower
cost of maintenance, durability, higher quality and longer product life are germane.
2. Award based on low bid or best value: The Town Board of the Town of Boston may
award purchase contracts and service contracts that have been procured pursuant to
competitive bidding under the General Municipal Law § 103 by either lowest responsible
bidder or best value.
3. Applicability: The provisions of this chapter apply to Town purchase contacts or
contracts for services involving an expenditure of more than $10,000, but exclude
purchase contracts necessary for the completion of a public works contract pursuant to
Article 8 of the State Labor Law and exclude any other contract that may in the future be
excluded under state law from the best value option.
4. Standards for best value: Goods and services procured and awarded on the basis of best
value are those that the Town Board of the Town of Boston determines will be of the
highest quality while being the most efficient. The determination of quality and cost
efficiency shall be based on objectively quantified and clearly described and documented
criteria which may include, but shall not be limited to, any or all of the following: cost of
maintenance; proximity to the end user if distance or response time is a significant term;
durability; availability of replacement parts or maintenance contractors; longer product
life; product performance criteria; and quality of craftsmanship.
Page 2 of 5
Page 45
5. Documentation: Whenever any contract is awarded on the basis of best value instead of
lowest responsible bidder, the basis for determining best value shall be thoroughly and
accurately documented.
6. Procurement policy superseded where inconsistent: Any inconsistent provision of the
Town's Procurement Policy, as adopted prior to the effective date of this chapter by
resolution of the Town Board of the Town of Boston, or as amended thereafter, shall be
deemed superseded by the provisions of this chapter.
Guideline 5: Prevailing Wage Review for Maintenance and Service Contracts:
In accordance with Articles 8 and 9 of the New York State Labor Law, the Town shall evaluate
all contracts for services, maintenance, repair, installation, or alteration of municipal buildings,
facilities, infrastructure, or building systems to determine whether prevailing wage requirements
apply.
Particular consideration shall be given to contracts involving the maintenance, repair, or
replacement of building systems including but not limited to heating, ventilation, and air
conditioning systems, plumbing systems, electrical systems, elevators, fire protection systems,
and similar mechanical or structural components.
Where such work may constitute public work or building service work under the Labor Law, the
Town shall include the appropriate prevailing wage schedules issued by the New York State
Department of Labor in the bid specifications or contract documents and require contractors to
comply with all applicable wage, supplement, and reporting requirements.
Departments initiating procurement shall consult with the Town Supervisor, Town Bookkeeper,
or Town Attorney when there is uncertainty regarding the applicability of prevailing wage
requirements.
Contractors performing public work shall be required to submit certified payroll records and
comply with all reporting requirements required under New York State Labor Law.
The Town reserves the right to require compliance with prevailing wage requirements where the
scope of work reasonably involves construction trades or maintenance of building systems, even
if the applicability of prevailing wage requirements is uncertain at the time of procurement.
Guideline 6: Inability to Obtain Proposals
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.
Page 3 of 5
Page 46
Guideline 7: Exceptions Except when directed by the Town Board, no solicitation of written
proposals or quotations shall be required under the following circumstances:
(a) Acquisition of professional services;
(b) Emergencies;
(c) Sole source situations;
(d) Goods purchased from agencies for the blind or severely handicapped;
(e) Goods purchased from correctional facilities;
(f) Goods purchased from another Governmental agency;
(g) Goods purchased at auction;
(h) Goods purchased for less than $1,500;
(i) Public works contracts for less than $1,500.
(j) Purchases pursuant to State or county bid, or local or federal bid.
Guideline 8: Authorization Limits
Any Town official designated by resolution as responsible for purchasing can approve purchases
up to $1500. Purchases $1500 to $5000 require written approval by the Supervisor. Purchases
over $5000 must be approved by the Town Board. Purchases of equipment over $300 require a
P.O. as specified in the Capital Asset Policy.
Guideline 9: Overnight Travel
Overnight travel of any amount must be approved at a Town Board Meeting.
Refer to the Town’s Mileage & Travel Policy for further details.
Guideline 10: Expense Reimbursements
Expense reimbursement will be submitted on a monthly or quarterly basis. Full year vouchers
accumulated will not be honored.
Guideline 11: Vouchers
All vouchers shall contain information which properly and clearly identify the job, project, vehicle or
equipment for which the parts, repair, and/or replacement pertain to.
Guideline 12: Policy Review
This policy shall be reviewed annually by the Town Board at its organizational meeting shall or as
soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable.

ADDENDUM TO DOG SHELTERING AGREEMENT
This Addendum (“Addendum”) is made as of the ___ day of __________, 2026, by and
between the Eden Veterinary Clinic, PLLC, with offices at 8217 North Main Street, Eden, New
York 14057 (hereinafter “SHELTER”), and the Town of Boston, a New York municipal
corporation with offices at 8500 Boston State Road, Boston, New York 14025 (hereinafter
“MUNICIPALITY”).
WHEREAS, the parties previously entered into a Dog Sheltering Agreement (the
“Agreement”) governing the care and housing of seized dogs; and
WHEREAS, the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets has implemented
and continues to develop expanded regulatory requirements under Agriculture & Markets Law
Article 26-C, requiring enhanced intake protocols, medical oversight, and recordkeeping; and
WHEREAS, the SHELTER has advised that compliance with such requirements
necessitates additional medical services, staffing, documentation, and increased operational costs;
and
WHEREAS, the MUNICIPALITY desires to continue utilizing the SHELTER’s services
subject to reasonable and defined cost adjustments and authorization procedures;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein, the parties agree as
follows:
1. This Addendum is incorporated into and made part of the existing Agreement.
Except as modified herein, all other terms of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
This Addendum is intended to supplement, not replace, the existing Agreement.
2. At the time any dog is delivered to the SHELTER, the Municipal Dog Control
Officer (DCO) shall perform an initial evaluation and examination of the animal and shall
document the condition of the dog at intake, including its apparent health condition, any visible
injuries or illness, and any relevant behavioral observations. Such documentation shall accompany
the animal and be provided to the SHELTER at the time of intake.
3. The MUNICIPALITY hereby authorizes the SHELTER to perform the following
required intake services for each dog received, regardless of the duration of stay: a physical
examination at a cost of $65.00 per animal for routine or healthy animals and $80.00 per animal
for animals that are sick or medically compromised; and parasite prevention and deworming
utilizing Credelio Quattro at a cost of $50.00 per animal for dogs weighing between 0 and 100
Page 50
pounds, with animals over 100 pounds requiring two (2) doses. Each dose provides approximately
thirty (30) days of coverage, and additional doses shall be administered and charged accordingly
if the animal remains in the SHELTER beyond the initial 30-day period.
4. For any dog not redeemed during the statutory stray holding period, a
Distemper/Parvovirus (DA2PP) vaccination shall be administered within twenty-four (24) to forty-
eight (48) hours after the expiration of the five (5) day stray hold and prior to the release, transfer,
or adoption of the dog, at a cost of $50.00 per animal.
5. Effective April 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026, the boarding fee shall be
increased to $40.00 per dog per day. This adjusted fee reflects increased requirements relating to
monitoring and documentation, sanitation and enrichment, and compliance with applicable
regulatory obligations.
6. Any additional diagnostics, treatments, medications, procedures, or emergency care
shall require prior approval of the MUNICIPAL Dog Control Officer (DCO), except in
emergencies where immediate treatment is necessary to preserve the life or prevent undue
suffering of the animal. All such services shall be billed at rates consistent with those charged to
the general public.
7. The MUNICIPALITY shall remain financially responsible only for the statutory
holding periods set forth in the original Agreement and for approved services under this
Addendum. No charges beyond the statutory holding period shall be incurred without the express
written authorization of the MUNICIPALITY. The SHELTER shall provide itemized invoices for
all services rendered.
8. This Amendment shall take effect April 1, 2026 and remain in effect unless
modified in writing by both parties, or the Agreement is terminated pursuant to its existing terms.
9. This Addendum, together with the original Agreement, constitutes the entire
agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter herein.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Amendment as of the date first
written above.
