  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section  1. Subdivision 1 of section 103 of the general municipal law,
as amended by chapter 741 of the laws of 2005, is  amended  to  read  as
follows:
  1. Except as otherwise expressly provided by an act of the legislature

fifty-three, all contracts for public work involving an  expenditure  of
more  than  twenty thousand dollars and all purchase contracts involving
an expenditure of more than ten thousand dollars, shall  be  awarded  by
the  appropriate  officer, board or agency of a political subdivision or
of any district therein including but not limited to a soil conservation
district, to the lowest responsible bidder furnishing the required secu-
rity after advertisement for sealed bids in the manner provided by  this
section. In any case where a responsible bidder's gross price is reduci-
ble  by an allowance for the value of used machinery, equipment, appara-
tus or tools to be traded in by a political subdivision, the gross price
shall be reduced by the amount of such allowance,  for  the  purpose  of
determining  the  low  bid.   NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, IN ANY CASE
WHERE A RESPONSIBLE BIDDER WHO IS A NEW YORK  STATE  RESIDENT,  FIRM  OR
CORPORATION AND WHO IS FURNISHING THE REQUIRED SECURITY IS FOUND BY SUCH
OFFICER,  BOARD  OR  AGENCY  TO  BE WITHIN TWO PERCENT OF THE BID OF THE
LOWEST RESPONSIBLE BIDDER, SUCH OFFICER, BOARD OR AGENCY MAY PREFER SUCH
