N.Y. Public Authorities Law § 1596-g: Construction contracts

§ 1596-g. Construction contracts. The authority shall let contracts

for construction in the same manner, so far as practicable, as is

provided by law for contracts of the city, except that where the

estimated expense of a contract does not exceed twenty-five hundred

dollars, 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.
