  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.

  subject to the provisions of section twenty-eight  hundred  seventy-nine
  of this chapter.

  same collective bargaining unit if they would have been assigned to such
  unit  were  such  titles  created  prior  to  the  establishment  of the
  authority. Nothing  contained  in  this  title  shall  be  construed  to
  diminish (a) the rights of employees pursuant to a collective bargaining
  agreement  or  (b) to affect existing law with respect to an application
  to the public employment relations board seeking a  designation  by  the
  board that certain persons are managerial or confidential.

  executive;  provided,  however,  that  Resolution No. 157 of 1989 of the

  deemed  to  be  an  approval  within the meaning of this section without
  further action by the county. All future projects not incorporated in or
  contemplated by Resolution No. 157 of 1989 shall be subject to  approval
  by  the county legislature and the county executive as set forth in this

2023 New York Laws › PBA - Public Authorities › Article 8 - Miscellaneous Authorities › Title 31 - Monroe County Airport Authority › 2768 - Contracts.

§  2768. Contracts. All contracts for construction shall be let by the
  authority in conformity with the applicable provisions  of  section  one
  hundred  thirty-five  of  the  state  finance  law  and  shall be let in
  accordance with the provisions of state  law  pertaining  to  prevailing
  wages,  labor  standards  and  working  hours. In the case of industrial
  projects, whenever the authority determines that trade secrets or  other
  confidential   information  about  the  prospective  project  occupant's
  business operations, products, processes or designs would be revealed by
  public bidding, the requirements of section one hundred  thirty-five  of
  the  state finance law with respect to public bidding may be waived.  In
  such event, separate specifications shall be prepared for, and  separate
  and independent contracts shall be entered into, for the following three
  subdivisions  of work to be performed: (a) plumbing and gas fitting; (b)
  steam heating, hot  water  heating,  ventilating  and  air  conditioning

  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.
