§ 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.
