This law section states that the authority has the right to initiate or face lawsuits in any courts or tribunals that have the authority to hear the case, unless there is another law that says otherwise.

If you have a claim for money or damages against a public authority, you need to follow the rules in a specific part of the California Government Code. This part begins with Section 810. Other laws might apply only if they specifically mention claims against the authority.

This law allows the authority to engage in various agreements and arrangements, such as contracts or promises, related to different activities, including eminent domain proceedings. It can also include agreements to protect against legal claims and to hire workers. Essentially, the authority can do whatever is needed to fully utilize its given powers.

This law allows the authority to make agreements with U.S. government departments, public agencies like the Department of Transportation, counties, cities, districts, or private entities. These agreements are for obtaining engineering, project management, and contract management services, based on the authority's judgment of what's beneficial.

This law outlines how contracts over $10,000 for services, supplies, equipment, and materials should be awarded through a competitive bidding process to the lowest responsible bidder. However, in emergencies, the authority or a designated executive committee can bypass this process. If no acceptable bids are received, the authority can instead purchase these items on the open market if they determine it's cheaper to do so.
