§  2051-p. Contracts. 1. All contracts or orders for work, material or   supplies performed or furnished in connection with construction shall be   awarded by the authority 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 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.2. The bidder whose bid  is  accepted  shall  give  security  for  the   faithful  performance  of  the  contract, and such other security as the   authority 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 authority and the  sufficiency   of   such   security   shall,  in  addition  to  the  justification  and   acknowledgement, be approved by the authority.  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 authority shall have the right to  declare   his  deposit  forfeited.  In  case  any  work  shall be abandoned by any   contractor, the authority may, if it determines that the public interest   is thereby  served,  adopt  on  behalf  of  the  authority  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 authority or the county upon any   obligation of the authority or of the county. Every  contract  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 the  county  with  respect  to  any   proposed  project.  The  provisions  of this section shall supersede any   inconsistent provisions of the  general  municipal  law,  or  any  other   general,  special  or  local  law,  or  the  charter  of the county. The   authority shall be deemed  an  authority  for  the  purpose  of  section   twenty-eight hundred seventy-eight of this chapter.
