§ 2045-p. Contracts. 1. All contracts or orders, for work, material or   supplies  performed  or furnished in connection with construction, shall   be awarded by the agency pursuant to resolution of  the  governing  body   except  as  hereinafter provided. Such awards, when applicable, shall be   made  in  compliance  with  paragraph  (e)  of  subdivision   four   and   subdivision  seven  of  section  one  hundred  twenty-w  of  the general   municipal law. In any construction contract, the agency  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 agency.2.  The  bidder  whose  bid  is  accepted  shall give security for the   faithful performance of the contract, and such  other  security  as  the   agency  may  require,  and  may be required to maintain any construction   done under the contract for such period as shall be stipulated,  all  in   the  manner prescribed and required by the agency and the sufficiency of   such  security   shall,   in   addition   to   the   justification   and   acknowledgment,  be  approved by the agency. All bids or proposals shall   be publicly opened by the governing body or its duly  authorized  agent.   If  the bidder whose bid or proposal has been accepted after advertising   shall neglect or refuse to accept the contract within  five  days  after   written  notice  that the contract has been awarded to him on his bid or   proposal, or, if he accepts but does not execute the contract  and  give   proper  security, the agency shall have the right to declare his deposit   forfeited. In case any work shall be abandoned by  any  contractor,  the   agency may, if it determines that the public interest is thereby served,   adopt  on  behalf  of  the  agency  any or all subcontracts made by such   contractor for such work and all such subcontractors shall be  bound  by   such  adoption if made. No bid or proposal shall be accepted from or any   contract awarded to, any person or corporation who is in arrears to  the   agency or the county upon any obligation of the agency or of the county.   Every  contract  involving  an  expenditure  of  more than five thousand   dollars when made and entered into  as  herein  provided  for  shall  be   executed in duplicate, one copy of which shall be held by the agency and   one  copy  of which shall be delivered to the contractor. The agency may   adopt, utilize, ratify and confirm any request for proposals, invitation   for  sealed  bids,  plans,  specifications  and  notices  heretofore  or   hereafter  published by the county with respect to any proposed project,   and the agency may adopt,  utilize,  accept  and  confirm  any  bids  or   proposals  submitted  to the county and heretofore or hereafter received   and publicly opened by the county. 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 the  county.  The   agency  shall  be  deemed  an  authority  for  the  purpose  of  section   twenty-eight hundred seventy-eight of this chapter.
