 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-

 4 16. Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivisions one, two and three
 5 of this section, and section one hundred four of this article, any offi-
 6 cer, board or agency of a political subdivision or of any district ther-
 7 ein authorized to make purchases of apparatus, materials, equipment or
 8 supplies, or to contract for services related to the installation, main-
 9 tenance or repair of apparatus, materials, equipment, and supplies, may
 10 make such purchases, or may contract for [such] services [related to the
 11 installation, maintenance or repair of apparatus, materials, equipment,
 12 and supplies], as may be required by such political subdivision or
 13 district therein through the use of a contract let by the United States
 14 of America or any agency thereof, any state or any other political
 15 subdivision or district therein if such contract was let to the lowest
 16 responsible bidder or on the basis of best value in a manner consistent
 17 with this section and made available for use by other governmental enti-
 18 ties; provided, however, that no political subdivision or district ther-
 19 ein, other than a city with a population of one million or more inhabit-
 20 ants or any district, board or agency with jurisdiction exclusively
 21 therein, may make such purchases or contract for such services through
 22 the use of such a contract let on the basis of best value in a manner
 23 consistent with this section unless the political subdivision or
 24 district shall first adopt a local law, rule, regulation or resolution,

 1 as the case may be, pursuant to subdivision one of this section, author-
 2 izing the use of best value for awarding purchase contracts.
 3 The authority provided to political subdivisions and districts therein

 5 political subdivision or district therein to comply with any applicable
 6 minority and women-owned business enterprise program mandates and the
 7 preferred source requirements of section one hundred sixty-two of the
 8 state finance law.
 9 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately; provided, that the amend-
 10 ments to subdivision 16 of section 103 of the general municipal law,
