N.Y. Public Authorities Law § 1556*2: Construction or purchase contracts

* § 1556. Construction or purchase contracts. The authority shall let

contracts for construction or purchase in the same manner, so far as

practicable, as is provided by law for contracts of the village, except

that where a construction contract involves an expenditure of five

thousand dollars or less or a purchase contract involves an expenditure

of three thousand dollars or less, such contract may be entered into

without public letting. Nothing in this section shall be construed to

limit the power of the authority to do any construction directly by the

officers, agents and employees of the authority.
