  governmental purposes is of benefit to the county, the county  may  pay,
  within  the  appropriations  available therefor, if any, the expenses of
  the establishment and continued operation of the authority.
6. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the county  shall  have
  the power to contract indebtedness and to issue its obligations pursuant

  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.

  required for immediate use or disbursement may, at the discretion of the
  authority,  be  invested  in those obligations specified pursuant to the

  thereof  has  been  neglected  or refused, and (c) the action or special
  proceeding shall be commenced within one year and ninety days after  the
  happening  of the event upon which the claim is based. An action against

  the  notice  of  claim and time limitation provisions of title eleven of
  article nine of this chapter.
2. Whenever a notice of claim is served upon the authority,  it  shall

§  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.

  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.

§  2606.  Legislative  findings.  It  is  hereby found, determined and
  declared that there is an immediate need to institute  a  comprehensive,
  coordinated  program  of  activities utilizing the olympic facilities in
  and around Lake Placid, New York, in order to insure optimum  year-round
  use and enjoyment of these facilities to the economic and social benefit
  of  the olympic region and to minimize the financial burden on the state
  and  local  governments  in  the  maintenance  and  operation  of  these
  facilities  by  means  of  maximizing  revenue  opportunities  for their
  support; and to  take  advantage  of  the  opportunity  to  improve  the
  physical  fitness  and athletic and recreational education of the people
  of this state and  the  United  States  by  assisting  in  the  use  and
  maintenance  of these facilities. It is further declared to be desirable
  to create a state olympic regional  development  authority  to  operate,
  manage  and  maintain  the  olympic  facilities,  develop, implement and
  supervise   the   professional   management   necessary   for   such   a
  comprehensive,  coordinated  program  and for the management, promotion,
  scheduling and conduct of an integrated, year-round program and  a  wide
  range  of  national  and international athletic training and competitive
  opportunities and other activities which  can  effectively  utilize  the
  available  facilities.  The  authority  shall carry out its purposes and
  responsibilities and utilize  the  facilities  through  agreements  with
  state  and  local  agencies  which  have  jurisdiction  over the various
  olympic facilities in the olympic region.  It is further declared to  be
  desirable  that  the  authority  develop, construct, operate, manage and
  maintain facilities,  or  participate  therein,  for  the  training  and
  housing of amateur athletes in connection with the United States olympic
  committee's  training  center  program  and  the  authority's conduct of
  national and international sports events. It is  further  declared  that
  the  authority shall be created as a public benefit corporation and that
  the corporate programs and powers conferred under  this  title  and  the
  expenditures  of  public  moneys  pursuant thereto are in furtherance of
  serving a valid public interest and public purpose.
