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.

Every contract when made and entered into as herein provided for 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 either of the towns with respect to any proposed project, and the authority may adopt, utilize, accept and confirm any bids or proposals submitted to either of the towns and heretofore and hereafter received and publicly opened by such town.
