N.Y. Public Authorities Law § 2676-q: Contracts

§ 2676-q. Contracts. 1. All contracts for construction shall be let by

the authority in conformity with the applicable provisions of section

one hundred thirty-five of the state finance law and shall be let in

accordance with the provisions of state law pertaining to prevailing

wages, labor standards, and working hours.

2. The authority may, in its discretion, assign contracts for

supervision and coordination to the successful bidder for any

subdivision of work for which the authority receives bids. 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 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.
