2006 New York Code - Construction Contracts.

 
    §  1595-g.  Construction  contracts. The authority shall let contracts
  for construction in the same  manner,  so  far  as  practicable,  as  is
  provided  by  law  for  contracts  of the village, except that where the
  estimated expense of a contract does not exceed  five  hundred  dollars,
  such  contract  may  be  entered into without public letting. Nothing in
  this section shall be construed to limit the power of the  authority  to
  do  any  construction  directly by the officers, agents and employees of
  the authority.
