SECONDED BY: Mrs. Connie Goedert
WHEREAS, the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury is desirous
of entering into an agreement with Business Automation Systems for
the purchase of necessary software, hardware, and services to
develop a Water Billing System, and
WHEREAS, the Purchasing Agent has advised that the Water
Billing System from Business Automation Systems is an integral part
of the overall Town-wide information system already in place from
Business Automation Systems and therefore, it would be unnecessary
to obtain proposals from other suppliers, and
WHEREAS, the Purchasing Agent also advises that the purchase
of the Water Billing System from Business Automation Services is
not subject to competitive bidding, because it comprises a
"professional service" involving "special or technical skill," the
use of "professional judgment," and a "high degree of creativity,"
said criteria being listed in the OSC Financial Management Guide,
subsection 8.0060, p. 12,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury hereby
approves the purchase of the necessary software, hardware, and
services from Business Automation Systems for a Water Billing
System at a cost not to exceed $ 18,000.00 without further
approval, and
BE IT FURTHER,
RESOLVED, that the Town Supervisor is hereby authorized and
directed to execute, on behalf of the Town of Queensbury, a
contract to be in a form approved by the Town Attorney, which form
of contract shall include a deadline date by which the system must
be made fully operational and all employees trained, two, a time of
the essence clause so that it is clear that the timing of this
contract is critical, three, that the balance, fifty percent (50%)
fo the funds will not be paid if that job is not done by the dead
line date, which dead line date will be asertained by the Town
Supervisor, and
BE IT FURTHER,
RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury hereby
notes that the cost of the services is not to exceed $ 18,200.
without further approval, and that no bidding is required under law
and that in this particular case, alternative quotes are not
practical, and
