New York Laws
Title 27-A - Greater Rochester Sports Authority
2591 - Contracts.

§ 2591. Contracts. 1. Construction contracts let by the authority
shall be in conformity with the applicable provisions of section one
hundred thirty-five of the state finance law.

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. Any
construction contract awarded 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 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.

3. All contracts or leases for the construction, reconstruction,
rehabilitation or improvement of buildings let by the authority shall
comply with the provisions of section two hundred twenty of the labor
law.

4. For the purposes of article fifteen-A of the executive law only,
the authority shall be deemed a state agency as that term is used in
such article, and all contracts for procurement, design, construction,
services and materials shall be deemed state contracts within the
meaning of that term as set forth in such article.

5. If after consideration, the authority determines acting within its
discretion and proprietary capacity that given the purpose of any
project and the impact of delay, the possibility of cost savings
advantages, and the local history of labor unrest, if any, its interest
in obtaining the best work at the lowest possible price and preventing
favoritism, fraud and corruption are best met by requiring a project
labor agreement as an incident of any contract let by the authority
regarding any project, it may require such a project labor agreement.
