N.Y. Public Authorities Law § 2799-sss: Contracts

§ 2799-sss. Contracts. 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. 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.
