§ 2050-p. Contracts. 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 the general municipal law. Prior to entering
into any contract, the agency shall seek the opinion of the attorney
general with respect to conformance of such contract with the anti-trust
laws, and of the comptroller with respect to conformance to the general
municipal law. The agency may execute any contract within thirty days
after such opinions are sought, whether nor not they have been received.
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.
