N.Y. Public Authorities Law § 1622-g: Construction and purchase contracts

§ 1622-g. Construction and purchase contracts. 1. The authority shall

let contracts for construction in the same manner, so far as

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

that where the estimated expense of a contract does not exceed

twenty-four 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. Contracts for the purchase of

supplies, materials and equipment shall be let in the same manner as is

provided by law for contracts of the village.

2. For the purposes of article fifteen-A of the executive law only,

the authority shall be deemed a state agency, as the term is used in

such article, and its contracts for design, construction, services and

materials shall be deemed state contracts within the meaning of that

term as set forth in such article.
