Hempfield: Article I, 9-10-1979 as Ord. No. 79-12.
Amendments noted where applicable.]
[Adopted 9-10-1979 as Ord. No. 79-12]
The officers of Hempfield Township may purchase goods through participation
with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of General Services, whenever,
by majority vote of the Board of Supervisors of Hempfield Township, it authorizes
said officers to do the same whenever said purchases exceed an amount of money
which would require competitive bidding. Authority is herein granted for officers
of Hempfield Township to make purchases of goods, materials and supplies by
participation with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of General
Services, without approval by the Board of Supervisors whenever purchases
do not exceed an amount of money which would require competitive bidding.
Whenever purchases are made for Hempfield Township through participation
with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of General Services, the
officers and elected Supervisors of Hempfield Township shall be exempt from
existing statutory requirements governing competitive bidding and the execution
of contracts with respect to the purchase of materials, supplies and equipment.
This Article shall not be interpreted to mean that materials, goods
and supplies must be purchased through participation with the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania, Department of General Services, but rather that such option
be available to the Board of Supervisors of Hempfield Township and its officers
in the manner herein set forth.
