N.Y. Public Authorities Law § 2620: Public bidding

§ 2620. Public bidding. 1. Construction contracts let by the authority

shall be in conformity with the applicable provisions of sections one

hundred thirty-five and one hundred forty-four of the state finance law.

2. The authority may assign contracts for supervisions and

coordination to the successful bidder for any subdivision of work for

which the authority receives bids. Any construction contract award by

the authority shall contain such other terms and conditions as the

authority may deem desirable. The authority shall not award any

construction contract except to the lowest bidder who, in its opinion,

is qualified to perform the work required and who is responsible and

reliable. The authority may, however, reject any or all bids or waive

any informality in a bid if it reasonably believes that the public

interest will be promoted thereby. The authority may reject any bid if,

in its judgment, the business and technical organization, plant,

resources, financial standing, or experience of the bidder justifies

such rejection in view of the work to be performed.
