(2) any competitive bidding law or other restrictions imposed on the procedure for award of contracts for the construction and equipment of a project or the lease, sale, or disposition of property of an authority.
(c) If the prospective lessee requests in writing, an authority shall call for construction bids in the manner as determined by the authority with the approval of the lessee.
(d) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this chapter, none of the powers granted to an authority under this chapter shall be subject to the supervision or regulation or require the approval or consent of any political subdivision, commission, board, body, bureau, official, or agency of a political subdivision or the state.
(e) This subsection applies if the authority disposes of real property or awards a contract for the procurement of property by acceptance of bids, proposals, or quotations. A bid, proposal, or quotation submitted by a trust (as defined in IC 30-4-1-1(a)) must identify each:
(1) beneficiary of the trust; and
