§  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.
