New York Public Authorities Law Section 659 - Construction contracts.

  659.  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 county, except that where the estimated
  expense of a contract does not exceed two thousand 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.
