§  2030.  Contracts.  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.  Such  contracts,  or
  orders, for work, material or supplies needed for any particular purpose
  involving  an expenditure of more than two thousand five hundred dollars
  shall be awarded only after inviting sealed bids or proposals  therefor.
  The notice inviting sealed proposals shall be published at least once in
  a  newspaper  or trade paper selected by the authority for such purpose,
  such publication to the be at least ten days before  the  date  for  the
  receipt  of bids. If the authority shall not deem it for the interest of
  the authority to reject all bids, it shall award  the  contract  to  the
  lowest  bidder,  unless the authority shall determine that it is for the
  public interest that a bid other than the lowest bid should be accepted.
  In any contract for work, material or supplies, there shall be  inserted
  in  the discretion of the authority a provision that additional work may
  be done or material or supplies furnished for the purpose of  completing
  such  contract  at  an  expense  not exceeding fifteen per centum of the
  amount of such contract if such additional work, materials  or  supplies
  shall  be  ordered  by  the  authority. 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  for  such  period as shall be stipulated any construction done
  under the contract, all in the manner prescribed  and  required  by  the
  authority;  and  the  sufficiency of such security shall, in addition to
  the justification and acknowledgment, be approved by the authority.  All
  bids  or proposals shall be publicly opened by the authority or its duly
  authorized agent.   If the bidder whose  bid  has  been  accepted  after
  advertising  shall  neglect or refuse to accept the contract within five
  days after written notice that the same 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, and thereupon it shall be readvertised and  relet  as
  above  provided.  In case any work shall be abandoned by any contractor,
  the authority may, if the best interest  of  the  authority  be  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; and the authority shall in the manner provided
  herein readvertise and relet the work specified in the original contract
  exclusive of so much thereof as shall be provided for in the subcontract
  or  subcontracts  so  adopted.  No  bid  shall  be  accepted from or any
  contracts awarded to, any person or corporation who is in arrears to the
  authority, or the county of Onondaga upon any debt or contract, or is  a
  defaulter  as  surety or otherwise upon any obligation of the authority,
  or the county. Every contract involving an expenditure of more than  two
  thousand  five  hundred  dollars  when  made  and entered into as herein
  provided for 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.
