Long Lake updates procurement manual to implement Best Value and new emergency procurement workbook
Summary
The Town Board approved revisions to its Procurement Policy & Procedures Manual to integrate the newly adopted Best Value procurement option and to standardize emergency purchase documentation via an Emergency Procurement Workbook; Department Heads must use the revised guides immediately.
On March 25 the Town Board approved revisions to the Town of Long Lake Procurement Policy & Procedures Manual to implement Best Value procurement and to standardize documentation for emergency procurements. The resolution (2026.22) designates the Town Supervisor as the primary Purchasing Officer and requires department heads to follow the updated competitive-bidding procedures and to use the Emergency Procurement Workbook for purchases made under GML §103(4). The vote was unanimous.
The revised manual adds specific Best Value evaluation steps (including scoring and weighting of price and non-price factors) and stricter documentation protocols for emergency purchases to improve oversight and consistency with State Comptroller guidance. The board required the Supervisor and Clerk to maintain complete documentation for audit purposes and directed immediate adoption by departments.
