§ 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.
