Section 1599-G. Construction and purchase contracts

The authority shall
  let contracts for construction in the same manner as is provided by  law
  for  contracts of the city, except that where the estimated expense of a
  contract does not exceed five thousand dollars, such  contracts  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.
  Contracts for the purchase of supplies, material and equipment shall  be
  let  in the same manner as is provided in this section. If the authority
  shall deem it in the  public  interest  or  necessary  or  desirable  to
  effectuate the purposes of this chapter or the economy and efficiency in
  construction  and operation of a project, the authority by majority vote
  of its members may either reject all bids or readvertise for bids or  by
  two-thirds  vote  of  its members may accept a bid other than the lowest
  bid; provided however that the reasons for any such vote shall be stated
  in the authority's official minutes.
