| In 1974,
Clinton County established a centralized purchasing system with the
creation of the position of Purchasing Agent. The Purchasing Agent’s
main duties include administering the purchase of all materials, supplies
and equipment that are required in the operation of the County. In
general, the objectives of purchasing are to buy materials, supplies and
equipment of the right quality, in the right quantity, from the right
source, at the right price.
|
| The Purchasing Agent issues all county
project bids and formal requests for proposals (RFPs). These projects are
typically broad-based and require coordination and planning through
working closely with county department personnel, architectural and
engineering firms and the County Attorney, to see the project through to
completion.
|
| A central supply division
(Central Stores) is maintained under the jurisdiction of the Purchasing
Agent. Commonly used office and janitorial supplies are kept for use by
all county departments and not-for-profit agencies. The supply division is
fully computerized, thus ensuring a fast and accurate method for the
departments to obtain many of their supplies.
|
| In addition, the Purchasing
Agent is responsible for administrating a central mailing and post office
unit, as well as a printing shop (Central Stores) that is responsible for
the printing and duplicating needs of all county departments.
|
| The Purchasing Department is open from 8 AM to 4 PM, Monday through Friday and is located in the Legislative Office, 2nd floor of the Government Center, 137 Margaret Street, Suite 208, Plattsburgh, New York. |
