N.Y. Public Authorities Law § 2050-pp: Contracts

§ 2050-pp. Contracts. All contracts or orders, for work, material and

supplies performed or furnished in connection with construction, shall

be awarded, when applicable, pursuant to paragraph (e) of subdivision

four of section one hundred twenty-w of the general municipal law and

such award shall be made by the authority pursuant to resolution of the

governing body except as hereinafter provided. In any construction

contract, the authority may provide a program for the payment of damages

for delays and incentive awards in order to encourage timely project

completion. An action, suit or proceeding contesting the validity of a

contract awarded pursuant to this section, or the validity of the

procedures relating to such award, shall be governed by the provisions

of subdivision six of section one hundred twenty-w of the general

municipal law and the term "municipality" as used in such subdivision

six shall mean the authority. Every contract when made and entered into

as herein provided for shall be executed in duplicate, one copy of which

shall be held by the authority and one copy of which shall be delivered

to the contractor. The authority may adopt, utilize, ratify and confirm

any request for proposals, invitation for sealed bids, plans,

specifications and notices heretofore or hereafter published by either

of the towns with respect to any proposed project, and the authority may

adopt, utilize, accept and confirm any bids or proposals submitted to

either of the towns and heretofore and hereafter received and publicly

opened by such town. The provisions of this section shall supersede any

inconsistent provisions of the general municipal law, any other general,

special or local law, or the charter of either town.
