PROPOSED RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, the Related Companies, L.P. and the Hudson Companies Incorporated
(collectively, "Developer" of the Southtown Project) have requested that the Corporation exercise
its Override Authority to waive compliance with certain zoning provisions in connection with the
development of Southtown Buildings 8 & 9 (“Project”), as set forth in the attached letter dated
January 29, 2018 from Handel Architects LLP; and
WHEREAS, the Corporation’s staff and outside counsel have reviewed the Developer's
request including the architect’s letter, and recommend that the Corporation exercise its Override
Authority to waive compliance with certain zoning provisions in connection with the development;
WHEREAS, the Corporation has carried out environmental review of the Project under
the State Environmental Quality Review Act (“SEQRA”) and prepared an environmental
assessment, which supports a finding of no significant impact from the Project;
WHEREAS, the Corporation previously approved the Southtown Project and all nine
buildings in 1990 and met its obligations under SEQRA by preparing an environmental impact
statement (updated in 1999) but has prepared the present environmental assessment to ensure the
passage of time has not changed findings;

NOW THEREFORE, be it
Section 1. Under SEQRA RIOC shall serve as lead agency for the environmental
review of the proposed override of certain requirements of the New York
City Zoning Resolution for Southtown Building 8 and 9, which review has
been coordinated with other necessary reviews pursuant to other applicable
laws and regulations.
Section 2. RIOC hereby approves the March 23, 2018 Environmental Assessment,
supplemental report and exhibits (“EA”) in the form provided to board
members, a copy of which is hereby ordered filed with the records of RIOC.
Section 3. On the basis of the EA, including its appendices, RIOC hereby (a)
determines that the proposed override will not, either individually or
cumulatively with other actions, have a significant adverse environmental
impact and, accordingly, that no environmental impact statement is required
under SEQRA; and (b) authorizes the issuance of a Negative Declaration
under SEQRA.
This notice is issued pursuant to Part 617 of the regulations implementing the State Environmental
Quality Review Act (“SEQRA”), Article 8 of the Environmental Conservation Law. The Roosevelt
Island Operating Corporation (“RIOC”), as lead agency, has determined that its approval of buildings
8 and 9 in Southtown, issuance of zoning overrides for the buildings and approval of ground leases
will be consistent with the General Development Plan and previously approved plans for
Southtown (“Proposed Action”) and will not have a significant adverse effect on the environment.
In 1990, RIOC conceived of the Southtown Project, a collection of nine buildings located to the
north of the Queensborough Bridge that would provide mixed income and affordable housing for
thousands of new residents. RIOC completed an environmental impact statement in 1990. In
1999, RIOC approved more detailed plans for Southtown, approved design guidelines for the
project and the following year signed a Development Agreement with Hudson Companies Inc.,
which has built seven of the nine buildings. The developer now seeks RIOC’s approval of the
final two buildings, issuance of zoning overrides and approval of ground leases. Although
Buildings 8 and 9 are consistent with the earliest plans for Southtown and the 1990 environmental
impact statement, RIOC has elected to prepare an environmental assessment and related
documentation that conclude that the Proposed Action would not have any potential for significant
adverse impacts.
591 Main Street, Roosevelt Island NY 10044 T: (212) 832-4540 F: (212) 832-4582 rioc.ny.gov information@rioc.ny.gov
PROPOSED ACTION
Both buildings will exceed the NYC Zoning Resolution’s bulk limits and waterfront zoning
regulations in several respects, which are explained in the environmental assessment.
Notwithstanding these zoning exceedances, the Proposed Action and Buildings 8 and 9 would be
consistent with the 1990 plan, the 1990 environmental impact statement and the 1999 design
guidelines.
RIOC has required the developer to prepare a Full Environmental Assessment Form and
Supplemental Environmental Studies (“Assessment”) to examine the potential environmental
impacts of the Proposed Action, including the proposed changes. The Assessment examines the
action’s potential to result in significant adverse impacts in the following areas: land use, zoning
and public policy; socioeconomics; community facilities; open space and recreational facilities;
shadows; cultural resources; urban design and visual resources; neighborhood character; natural
resources; hazardous materials; waterfront revitalization plan; infrastructure; solid waste and
sanitation services; use and conservation of energy; traffic and parking; transit and pedestrians; air
quality; noise; construction impacts; and public health.
For all of the areas of potential impacts listed above, the Assessment concludes that there is no
potential for significant adverse environmental impacts. In reaching this determination, RIOC has
considered relevant areas of environmental concern and the criteria identified in 6 NYCRR § 617.7(c).
The Assessment reviewed the Proposed Action pursuant to New York City’s Waterfront
Revitalization Program and concludes that it would be consistent with the program policies.
As discussed in the 1990 environmental impact statement, the site for the Proposed Action is
vacant and there is no potential for adverse effects on architectural or archeological historic
resources.

This letter is in connection with the filing of plans and the applications for building permits
submitted by Riverwalk 8 LLC (“Developer”) for the above-referenced residential building.
Please be advised that the Roosevelt Island Operating Corporation (“RIOC”) is the
successor in interest to UDC in connection with the development, maintenance and the operations
on Roosevelt Island, and that pursuant to Section 5 (3) of Chapter 899 of the Laws of 1984 [or
Section 6389(3) of the Unconsolidated Laws of New York] (the “RIOC Act”) and the common
law principles of preemption and state sovereignty, RIOC hereby exercises its powers to waive
compliance with local laws, ordinances, codes and charters or regulations, as more particularly set
forth below.
In correspondence to RIOC, the Developer has requested that RIOC exercise its authority
to determine that, to the extent that the following portions of the construction of the building are
at variance with the N.Y.C. Zoning Resolution, such portions of the work shall not be required to
be in compliance with the N.Y.C. Zoning Resolution:
591 Main Street, Roosevelt Island NY 10044 T: (212) 832-4540 F: (212) 832-4582 rioc.ny.gov information@rioc.ny.gov
Zoning District R7-2, Lot 9 Area 29,857 sq. ft., Uses Permitted Use Group 2
ZR 62-61 and 62-62: The New York City Zoning Resolution has various
requirements for public waterfront access that Building 8 would not strictly comply
with. These include certain pathway, grading, seating and bike parking
requirements. See Zoning Resolution Sections 62-61 and 62-62. The Building’s
compliance with the General Development Plan rather than zoning would not be
significant, however, because there is already a public waterfront esplanade and
extensive public access to the waterfront around the project.

MEMO
In 2010, while still in the Mitchell-Llama (“ML”) program, Rivercross Tenants Corp. (“Rivercross”)
requested that RIOC agree to extend the term of the Rivercross ground lease to enable it to refinance its
mortgage at the low interest rates then available, so that it could perform major capital improvements,
including energy efficiency improvements, in the 35+ year old building. In March 2011, the parties entered
into an agreement amending the Ground Lease (the “Amendment”), and extending the term of the
underlying ground lease to December 22, 2068. At that time, Rivercross was aging out of the ML program,
but had not yet determined if it would exit the ML program with an affordability plan in place.
The Amendment provided that, if Rivercross left the ML program without an affordability plan approved
by the Commissioner of Homes and Community Renewal (“HCR”), the residential and commercial ground
rents were to be escalated to achieve a market rate rent, and other fees and charges that RIOC then typically
received for similarly structured non-Mitchell-Lama residential properties were to be imposed. Such fees
and other charges included capital event fees for building sales and refinancing, transfer fees for the sale of
cooperative units, and payments to RIOC in lieu of mortgage recording tax.
If the parties were unable to reach agreement on the revised financial terms to be effective upon Rivercross’s
withdrawal from the ML program (the “Withdrawal”), the rent was to be determined by arbitration, in
accordance with the procedure set forth in the Amendment.
Rivercross withdrew from the ML program on March 27, 2014, without an affordability plan in place. As
the parties were unable to reach agreement on the rent to be paid, RIOC served a demand for arbitration in
May 2014. The arbitrators appointed by the parties met several times, but were unable to reach agreement
on the revised financial terms. Prior to the appointment of a third arbitrator, the commissioner of HCR
attempted to mediate a resolution.
Following discussions between the parties over an extended period, the parties reached a settlement on the
revised financial terms in March 2018, as reflected on the term sheet. The “affordability plan” referred to
in the term sheet is not similar to those approved by HCR, but rather is a plan for deferral of increased
maintenance fees for owners of record as of the date of Mitchell Lama withdrawal for qualifying
shareholders. The settlement includes the Empire State Development Corporation (“ESD”) the entity that
receives the Tax Equivalent Payments (“TEP”) and requires the approval of the ESD Board, the RIOC
Board and Rivercross.
Based on the advice of outside counsel as discussed with the Real Estate Development Committee, we
suggest the Board agree to the terms of the settlement and enter into a new amendment to the ground lease
for Rivercross.

TERM SHEET DATED AS OF MARCH ___, 2018
FOR SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE
RESTATED GROUND LEASE FOR RIVERCROSS
1. Ground Rent :
Effective as of March 27, 2014 (the date Rivercross withdrew from Mitchell-Lama,
referred to as the “Withdrawal Date”), Rivercross will pay an aggregate rent of $2,500,000 (the
“Re-Set Ground Rent”). As of April 1, 2022, and on each fifth anniversary of that date thereafter,
the Re-Set Ground Rent will increase by 10%, so that the Re-Set Ground Rent for each five year
period will be 110% of the Re-Set Ground Rent payable during the preceding five year period.
These increases will be in lieu of (i) increases as of Rent Adjustment Dates, as set forth in the
Restated Ground Lease, as amended (collectively, the “Restated Ground Lease”), and (ii) the
charges set forth in the Agreement dated as of March 29, 2011 between Rivercross and RIOC with
respect to Rivercross’ use and occupancy of 517 and 535 Main Street.
RIOC will continue to sublease the same commercial spaces from Rivercross as RIOC is
currently subleasing pursuant to the Sublease dated as of March 1, 1976 between North Town
Phase IV Houses, Inc. and New York State Urban Development Corporation (RIOC’s predecessor-
in-interest), as amended (collectively, the “Commercial Space Sublease”). Effective as of the date
the Second Amendment to the Restated Ground Lease is fully signed (the “Effective Date”), RIOC
will not be obligated to pay any Ground Rent, Basic Rent or Tax Equivalent for Commercial Space
for the commercial spaces it is subleasing from Rivercross, and Rivercross will waive all claims for
unpaid Ground Rent, Basic Rent or Tax Equivalent for Commercial Space, if any, under the
Commercial Space Sublease for all periods prior to the Effective Date.
3. Payment of Arrears of Re-Set Ground Rent: The additional Re-Set Ground Rent to be paid by
Rivercross for the period from the Withdrawal Date to the Effective Date (the “Interim Period”)
will be paid as follows:
a. Rivercross will pay RIOC an amount equal to the difference between (i) the sum of the
Residential Ground Rent and the Commercial Ground Rent paid by Rivercross under the
Restated Ground Lease during the Interim Period, and (ii) the sum of $1,300,000 for each
year of the Interim Period, pro-rated as necessary for partial years. This amount will be
paid to RIOC upon the Effective Date.
b. In addition to the amount set forth in paragraph (a) above, Rivercross will pay RIOC the
sum of $1,200,000 for each year of the Interim Period, pro-rated as necessary for partial
years. This amount will be paid in fifteen (15) equal annual installments of principal,
together with interest thereon from the Effective Date at the rate of four percent (4%)
8215749.6
per annum, commencing on the first anniversary of the Effective Date, and on each
anniversary of such date in subsequent years.
In addition to the Re-Set Ground Rent, Rivercross will pay Tax Equivalent Payments in
accordance with the terms of a separate agreement to be entered into between Rivercross and
Empire State Development (“ESD”). This agreement will provide that, as of the Effective Date,
Rivercross will pay an aggregate Tax Equivalent Payment equal to 80% of the aggregate Tax
Equivalent Payment then owed by Rivercross to ESD as of the Effective Date (the “Updated TEP
Payment”). As of the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date, the Updated TEP Payment will
increase by 10% so that the Updated TEP Payment for each five year period will be 110% of the
Updated TEP Payment payable during the preceding five year period. Such increases will be in
lieu of increases as of each Tax Equivalent Adjustment Date, as set forth in the Restated Ground
Lease. These provisions are subject to the terms of a separate agreement to be entered into
between Rivercross and ESD concurrently with the Second Amendment to the Restated Ground
Lease.
It is understood that Rivercross has presently outstanding a Tax Certiorari Proceeding
affecting the Assessed Value of the property subject to the separate agreement between
Rivercross and ESD. To the extent the final outcome of such Proceeding impacts the Tax
Equivalency Payment owed by Rivercross to ESD at the time the agreement is executed, the
Updated TEP Payment shall be adjusted backwards to the Effective Date.
5. Public Safety Fees: Rivercross will continue to pay Public Safety Service Fees in accordance with
the terms of the letter agreement dated as of March 29, 2011 between Rivercross and RIOC
relating to such fees.
6. AVAC Charges: The provisions of Article 13 of the Restated Ground Lease with respect to charges
for the AVAC system shall remain in effect.
7. Additional Fees: In addition to the charges noted in this term sheet and the Restated Lease, RIOC
may impose on Rivercross a charge for furnishing services provided to the Roosevelt Island
community, such as Tramway service, minibus service, landscape maintenance of non-leased
areas, and recreational and athletic facilities, but only if RIOC imposes a charge for such additional
services on all other lessees of residential apartments buildings on Roosevelt Island receiving such
services, in which case Rivercross will pay its pro-rata share of such cost, computed on the basis
of the number of completed units in Rivercross as a percentage of the then total completed
residential units on Roosevelt Island.
8. Transfer Fees On Sale of Apartments: Rivercross will pay RIOC a transfer fee on all sales of
apartments (both initial sales following the Withdrawal Date and all subsequent sales) equal to
one percent (1%) of the gross sales price paid to the selling tenant-shareholder (the “Transfer
2
8215749.6
Fees”). Transfer Fees for all sales occurring during the Interim Period will be paid to RIOC upon
the Effective Date. Transfer Fees for each sale occurring after the Effective Date will be paid to
RIOC at the time of the closing of such sale. Rivercross will notify RIOC of each sale, and, together
with payment of the Transfer Fee, will provide a calculation of the Transfer Fee and sufficient
documentation to confirm the amount of the Transfer Fee payable for such sale.
9. Payments in lieu of Mortgage Recording Tax: Rivercross will give RIOC at least six (6) months’
prior written notice if it intends to obtain a mortgage that would not be exempt from the
imposition of a mortgage recording tax. RIOC may seek to obtain an advisory opinion from the
New York State Department of Taxation and Finance that would exempt the mortgage from the
payment of a mortgage recording tax, and, if RIOC has obtained such an opinion (whether in
connection with Rivercross’ intended transaction or any previous transaction), RIOC will be named
as a co-lender on the loan, and, if the mortgage is exempt from the payment of a mortgage
recording tax as a result of RIOC’s status or based on an exemption for properties on Roosevelt
Island, Rivercross will pay to RIOC the amount of the mortgage recording tax which would have
been payable if the mortgage had not been exempt.
10. Affordability Plan: The Second Amendment will provide for an Affordability Plan substantially in
accordance with the terms outlined on the attached Exhibit A. Rivercross will retain a third-party
administrator reasonably acceptable to RIOC to administer the Affordability Plan. The cost of
administering the Affordability Plan, including, without limitation, the cost of retaining the third-
party administrator, will be borne by Rivercross.
11. Best Efforts: All parties agree to use their best efforts to effectuate the Term Sheet for the Second
Amendment to the Restated Ground Lease for Rivercross and the Separate Agreement to be
between entered into between ESD and Rivercross, on or before June 30,2018.
This term sheet is being sent for discussion purposes only, and shall not bind any of the parties
referred to herein. Notwithstanding our discussions and the terms set forth herein, these terms remain
subject to (i) the approval of RIOC’s Board of Directors and execution by Rivercross, RIOC and ESD of a
written Second Amendment to the Restated Ground Lease, and written amendments that may be
required to any other agreements referred to herein in order to give effect to these terms, and (ii)
approval of ESD’s Board of Directors and execution by Rivercross and ESD of an agreement regarding the
TEP Payments.

EXHIBIT A
Overview:
Qualified Shareholders who satisfy certain criteria will be able to apply for a deferral of
maintenance increases for so long as they own the shares and appurtenant proprietary leases for
their apartments (the “Apartments”). RTC will be entitled to a corresponding deferral of the
ground rent payable to RIOC in the same amount as the maintenance deferral granted to a
Qualified Shareholder. The deferred amounts will be payable, with interest, by the Qualified
Shareholder to RTC, and by RTC to RIOC, when the Apartment is sold.
Details:
The deferral will only be available to Qualified Shareholders who meet certain income criteria.
a. Qualified Shareholders are:
ii. members of the named owner’s immediate family who resided in the Apartment
with the named owner as their primary residence for so long as the immediate
family member continuously and without interruption resides in the Apartment
as their primary residence and who would qualify for succession under the HCR
regulations (NYCRR 1727-8).
iii. No deferral will be available for subleased Apartments. Any deferral then in
effect will be terminated as of the effective date of any such sublease. Upon the
expiration of a sublease, the Qualified Shareholder may re-apply for a deferral if
they satisfy the requirements at that time.
b. Income criteria:
4
8215749.6
i. To qualify for a deferral, a Qualified Shareholder will need to have a Validated
Income equal to a maximum of 100% of the median income, as published from
time to time by HUD for the New York NY areas, as adjusted for the applicable
household size.
ii. “Validated Income” will mean the gross annual income, from all sources, for all
occupants of the Apartment, for the calendar year preceding the calendar year
for which the deferral is sought.
Maintenance Deferral:
a. At such time as the maintenance charges for any Qualified Shareholder increase to 120%
of the maintenance (the “Increased Maintenance”) in effect as of the date of RTC’s
withdrawal from the Mitchell-Lama program (the “Base Maintenance”), a Qualified
Shareholder can apply for a deferral in the payment of such maintenance increase.
Assessments and utility charges will not be taken into account in calculating either
Increased Maintenance or Base Maintenance and there shall be no deferral available in
the payment of such charges. The amount by which the Increased Maintenance (subject
to adjustment as set forth below) exceeds the Base Maintenance is referred to as the
“Deferral Amount”.
b. The Qualified Shareholder will be obligated to continue to pay Base Maintenance. The
Qualified Shareholder will not be entitled to any deferral in the payment of Maintenance
Charges to RTC, nor will RTC be entitled to any corresponding deferral in the payment of
ground rent to RIOC, for any period when the Qualified Shareholder is in default under its
Proprietary Lease.
c. If the Qualified Shareholder is receiving any rent abatement, such as substitute SCRIE (or
SCHE) benefits or DRIE benefits, the Increased Maintenance shall be decreased by the
amount of the abatement in determining the Deferral Amount. To the extent that the
income eligibility requirements for SCRIE, SCHE or DRIE benefits are more stringent than
the deferral requirements under this Plan, any shareholder who is receiving SCRIE, SCHE
or DRIE benefits will automatically qualify for a maintenance deferral (so long as they are
Qualified Shareholders as defined herein).
d. Once the Apartment is sold, successive owners will no longer have the right to apply for
a deferral.
e. The Qualified Shareholder will not be obligated to pay the Deferral Amount until the
Apartment is sold to a third party. The shareholder will be obligated to notify RIOC and
RTC of any sale of the apartment, and the total Deferral Amount, with interest thereon,
5
8215749.6
will have to be paid to RTC at the closing. The interest rate will be four percent (4%) per
annum. Payment of the Deferred Amount will have priority over payment of any flip tax
or other amounts owed to RTC. The terms of this affordability plan will be included in the
proprietary lease, and shareholders of any Apartment which received a deferral will be
obligated to notify RIOC of the sale of the Apartment.
Ground Rent Deferral: RTC will be able to subtract the Deferral Amount from the ground rent
payable to RIOC under the Ground Lease. The amount of deferred ground rent, plus interest
(which should equal the Deferral Amount paid by the Qualified Shareholder at closing), will be
payable by RTC to RIOC at the closing. RTC will direct the Qualified Shareholder to pay the Deferral
Amount directly to RIOC in satisfaction of RTC’s obligation to pay RIOC the deferred ground rent,
but its failure to do so will not relieve RTC of the obligation to pay the deferred ground rent to
RIOC. If the net proceeds of a sale are insufficient to pay the deferred ground rent, plus interest,
RTC will be liable for the deficiency. RTC’s obligations under the Affordability Plan will be
incorporated into the ground lease, and RTC’s failure to notify RIOC of the sale of any Apartments
which received a deferral, or to repay any amounts due hereunder will be a default under the
ground lease. RTC will submit a statement to RIOC annually, certified by a CPA, showing all
accrued deferrals. The statement will be submitted by January 31st of each year, for the prior
calendar year.
Procedure:
a. The plan will be administered by a third party administrator. A Qualified Shareholder will
have to apply annually for a deferral. To apply, the Qualified Shareholder will have to submit
an application by December 31st of each year in order to apply for a deferral for the next
calendar year. If there is a maintenance increase during the calendar year which would make
the Qualified Shareholder eligible for a deferral, the Qualified Shareholder can apply for a
deferral within sixty (60) days after the maintenance increase takes effect, and, if the
Qualified Shareholder is found to be eligible for a deferral, it will be granted retroactively to
the date the Qualified Shareholder applied for a deferral. If a Qualified Shareholder is
receiving a SCHE or DRIE exemption, they will submit evidence thereof with their application.
The third party administrator will calculate the total Deferred Amount (including interest).
b. In order to apply for a deferral, the Qualified Shareholder will have to submit a tax return for
the prior year, together with a certification signed by the Qualified Shareholder certifying (i)
that the Apartment is their primary residence, (ii) that they have been in continuous residence
in the Apartment during the preceding 12 months, (iii) the names of all immediate family
members and others residing in the Apartment with them during the preceding 12 months.
c. The third party administrator will send RIOC a schedule of all Deferrals granted to Qualified
Shareholders for each calendar year by January 31st of that year.

MEMO
The Corporation utilized the services of JFA Brokerage and Associates in partnership with
Arthur J. Gallagher Risk Management Services (“Brokers”), to obtain quotes from insurance
carriers for the renewals of the insurance policies for fiscal year April 1, 2018 – March 31,
2019.
The Brokers were successful in minimizing the overall increase in insurance premiums.
Some highlights of the premium changes reflected below include:
General Liability – RIOC’s previous G/L carrier (Philadelphia) stopped writing the type
of coverage under which RIOC’s accounts are protected; the new carrier (AIG)
quoted similar coverage at a modest decrease of $6,300.
Excess – There is an increase of $13,020 in the umbrella liability, primarily from the
$15MM layer sitting directly over the GL and Auto, which is underwritten by the same
insurance carrier (AIG) and reflects their increased risk based upon total exposures.
Property – The rates remained flat; the premium reflects an increase in the total
insurable values, based upon improvements. The carrier has also waived a required
$5,500 Engineering fee in connection with RIOC’s follow-up on certain
recommendations made by the carrier for improvements that will improve long-term
exposures.
Cyber Liability – This new policy covers liability resulting from theft or breach of
personal information that RIOC has an obligation to keep private (Dates of Birth,
Social Security Numbers, etc.), and the resulting security breach response and
notification costs to those affected.

After deducting $244,232 in pro-rata allocations on the casualty lines that are payable by
Leitner-Poma of America Inc. (“LPOA”), the total payable by RIOC is $1,699,442.
The Brokers have advised that, in their experience, the net increase of $33,088 (consisting
of $26,822 in comparable lines and the new Cyber Liability at $6,266) or 1.9% is reasonable
given the loss development and exposure increases. The policies have been bound
effective April 1, 2018 in the interest of continuing protection for the Corporation’s
operations. I recommend the Board’s ratification of the same for the period April 1, 2018
through March 31, 2019.

MEMO
Background:
Owner’s representative services for the planning and management of capital projects has long been
an important part of the Capital Improvement Industry, in both private and public sectors. Where
owners lack the requisite knowledge, means to properly oversee capital projects; or more
importantly, where supplemental services are needed to assist an existing team of project
managers; owner’s representative firms provide a flexible, experienced, full team of industry
professionals who fill these voids and aid in achieving owner’s goals efficiently, effectively, and
safely. Indeed, many city and state agencies, including but not limited to, the New York City
Economic Development Corporation, the New York City Department of Design and Construction,
the New York State Empire State Development Corporation, Battery Park City Authority, and
Hudson River Park Trust, have all benefited from the services provided by owner’s representative
firms to assist their planning and project teams in successfully realizing multi-phased and/or multi-
year projects. And, it is well understood in the industry that the fees associated with owner’s
representative services are often-times offset by the savings their assistance provides.
The Roosevelt Island Operating Corporation, charged by its mission to develop and maintain the
infrastructure of Roosevelt Island, experienced a stagnation in performing its duties under the
former Engineering Department due to staffing deficiencies and frequent turnover by the
department’s directors. Many long-term new construction projects and much-needed maintenance
projects were hindered because RIOC lacked the personnel to properly oversee these
responsibilities as well as follow a plan of implementing these projects.
In late November 2017, RIOC corrected this deficiency by creating a new department, The
Department of Capital Planning and Projects. RIOC also hired an Assistant Vice President to be
in charge of the operations of that department and in February 2018, RIOC hired two project
managers to assist in our long-term goals. Their duties and responsibilities include overseeing
existing RIOC maintenance projects, any outside projects – such as the DEP access road – and any
new long-term RIOC capital projects.
Earlier this year, RIOC launched a major Capital Improvement Plan consisting of both long,
overdue-and, new capital improvement projects, which have a forecast budget of approximately
591 Main Street, Roosevelt Island NY 10044 T: (212) 832-4540 F: (212) 832-4582 rioc.ny.gov information@rioc.ny.gov
$90 million, over the next four years. Although RIOC has established a new Department of Capital
Planning and Projects, the number of and scope of projects currently projected under the Capital
Improvement Plan over the next few years, require more oversight than our normal staffing can
and should provide. An owner’s representative firm will greatly fulfill this need.
RIOC is requesting that the Board of Directors approve and authorize the Corporation to engage
the services of an Owner’s Representative firm for the following reasons: 1) because it will
provide the additional project-management oversight and safety as explained below; 2) because it
will provide for additional professional expertise in areas such as design, engineering, and
estimating; and 3) because it will allow the flexibility of adding or decreasing its staffing on an as-
needed basis resulting in lower costs to RIOC.
As stated above, the Capital Planning and Projects Department has forecast 15 necessary projects
for the 2018 calendar year, with even more projects planned for 2019. Oversight for the projects
planned for this year alone, will require that the Department’s PMs be assigned five (5) projects
each – not including the time and resources that will be taken away from RIOC projects to oversee
outside projects such as DEP road access, Light Tower, or Crown Castle, to name a few. Industry
standard dictates that a single PM generally manages and oversees a single project to ensure quality
in the execution of the project. Here however, if the Department’s PMs will be expected to manage
five projects each, in addition to the other outside projects currently underway, the quality of
oversight will significantly diminish as it is imprudent to oversee that many projects at once. In
this regard, support from an owner’s representative firm will represent RIOC’s interests in
maintaining the schedule, budget and scope as planned.
Another important benefit of owner’s representative services, is that it will aid the Corporation in
being more accurate with its cost management and cost projection reporting in the budget. By
increasing project budgeting of capital projects through the services of an owner’s representative,
the Corporation may better account for and accurately project cash-flow and savings on projects.
Finally, RIOC may use the owner’s representative services on an as-needed basis depending on
the number of projects being handled or overseen by RIOC staff at any given time. Indeed, there
are many instances where planned projects become delayed due to unforeseen events such as
emergencies or other maintenance projects requiring immediate attention. With the use of owner’s
representative services, the firm will serve as an extension to RIOC in that it will provide oversight
services on RIOC’s behalf as to allow planned projects to continue on schedule with little concern
of significant delay or the inability to properly oversee a project due to RIOC understaffing issues.
Procurement Process:
To this end, RIOC posted a Request for Proposal for Owner’s Representative Services for Capital
Projects and Strategic Planning in the New York State Contract Reporter on January 23, 2018. On
March 2, 2018, RIOC received 14 submissions and based on evaluation criteria and best value for
services provided in the RFP, conducted shortlist interviews with eight (8) of the fourteen (14)
firms between March 26, 2018 and March 29, 2018. Specifically, firms were rated on their General
Experience (25 points), Specific Project Understanding & Approach (35 points), Staffing
Proposal/Staff Experience (25 points), Financial Capability (5 points), and Fee (10 points). Only
firms that received a minimum averaged score of at least 70 points (in accordance with the
evaluation criteria set forth in the RFP), were eligible for an interview. Of the firms interviewed,
the firm of Gardiner & Theobald, Inc., received the highest score. Specifically, Gardiner &
Theobald, Inc. through its proposal and interview, demonstrated the best understanding of RIOC’s
needs and presented the best approach to meet those needs through their focus on estimating and
cost-management.
The following table lists the eight (8) firms interviewed, the cumulative rating (an average of the
selection committee), and the fee proposal for the 3 year term of the proposed contract.
Recommendation:
Based on the above, I recommend that, subject to the satisfaction of all contracting requirements,
that the Board of Directors authorize and approve entering into a contract with Gardiner and
Theobald, Inc., for the purpose of providing Owner’s Representative Services for Capital Projects
and Strategic Planning for a total amount of $1,617,100 with a 10% contingency of $161,710
bringing the total authorized not-to-exceed amount to $1,778,810 for a contract term of three (3)
years.

MEMO
At its meeting of December 19, 2017 the Board authorized FY 17-18 Public Purpose Grants upon the
recommendations of RIRA.
Extensions of the FY 17-18 PPF Grants are requested for the following recipients:
1. Main Street Theatre and Dance Alliance (“MSTDA”) – MSTDA has spent funds on scholarships and
toward the salary of its recently hired Asst. Executive Director, hired after the PPF funds were granted.
An extension is requested for the grantee to use the remaining allocation for the salary payments.
2. PS/IS 217 Parent-Teacher Association (“PTA”) - The Salvadori Center provided most of the grant funded
services to the children, continuing through the majority of the school year. PTA will pay the vendor for
those services upon completion, which takes place after the normal grant period due to the length of
the school year.
3. Life Frames – Life Frames completed some of the services for which the PPF funds were requested, and
will continue to perform the remaining services through the late spring and early summer.
4. Roosevelt Island Visual Arts Association (“RIVAA”) – At its meeting of March 1, 2018 the RIOC Board
authorized a change in the scope of the approved funding for RIVAA to focus on repairs of the Gallery’s
HVAC system. The Grantee has selected a consultant to whom it is disbursing funds for professional
expertise. That consultant will provide oversight services of the contractor performing the repairs.
5. Roosevelt Island Disabled Association (“RIDA”) – RIDA has spent funds for van repairs and trips.
Additional repairs to the van, including an upgrade of the van’s AC system are expected through late
spring. Additional trips will be provided through spring and summer.
6. Island Kids – Island Kids has hired staff to increase its capacity and will conduct focus groups in late
spring to identify the manner in which it can best serve its target population. This year’s grant focuses
on at-risk youth.
7. Wildlife Freedom Foundation (“WFF”) – The WFF is in the process of acquiring necessary insurance and
is obtaining quotes for repairs to the Island cat shelters. The work is expected to be completed by the
end of summer.
In addition to the above, the Roosevelt Island Senior Association has requested that RIOC extend the FY
16/17 PPF grant (extended through FY 17/18) through the end of summer. The grantee has accounted for all
the funds expended with the first disbursement and a portion of the final disbursement. RISA will continue
to provide classes and hold events for its participants.
Public Purpose Grants are critical to programming and projects that benefit the community. Based on the
foregoing, the extensions are requested through September 30, 2018, which should provide sufficient time
for the remaining expenses to be incurred, submitted and accepted.

MEMO
Need:
Closed Circuit TV (“CCTV”) surveillance along with strategically positioned police patrol coverage allows
for the Public Safety Department to monitor a much larger area of the Island and rapidly deploy resources
as needed. Video surveillance is an adjunct to police patrol coverage and not a replacement of patrol. The
CCTV network is an integral tool for RIOC PSD team in serving the community.
The CCTV surveillance network currently has 73 cameras. 36 of those cameras are end of life and need to
be replaced. Sites that need replacement are located within Motorgate Parking and South Point Park. The
end of life cameras must be replaced because of:
Constant outages; not recording
Incompatible with new management software from manufacture
Firmware updates are no longer available from manufacture
No longer supported

In keeping with compliance with our existing network, we continue to purchase BOSCH cameras. Derive
is an approved reseller (with MBE certification) of New York State Office of General Services contractor.
Derive also has in-depth knowledge and expertise of the RIOC’s Island-Wide Security camera
infrastructure as the provider has performed and supported RIOC’s Security Camera System since
integration. EIA is an OGS vendor and does the physical installation of cameras.
Recommendation:
I, therefore, recommend that the Board approve the ratification of the purchase of cameras, related
equipment, services and installation for a total of $96,008.10 (Derive Technologies: $85,688.10 and EIA
$10,320.) towards the Camera Replacement project.

MEMO
Background:
In an effort to maintain the cleanliness and upkeep of RIOC’s facilities, we have opted to utilize
an external cleaning company. The areas that are designated to be cleaned are the Cultural Center,
Bus Garage, Sportspark and Youth Center. Cleaning services for these facilities are to include:
Bathroom maintenance; Trash removal; Restocking of paper and soap products; Dusting, mopping,
and vacuuming.
Request:
New York State Industries for the Disabled (“NYSID”), a preferred source, submitted a proposal.
As a preferred source, NYSID obviates the competitive procurement process detailed on Article
XI, Section 162 of State Finance Law. NYSID’s proposal to accommodate the four
aforementioned facilities is detailed as follows:

Agenda Item V, 9. April 18, 2018
PROPOSED RESOLUTION
RESOLVED by the Board of Directors of the Roosevelt Island Operating Corporation of the State
of New York (“RIOC”), as follows:
Section 1. that RIOC is hereby authorized to take certain actions to assume the
responsibility for the FDR Hope Memorial Project execution within the
Southpoint Open Space area, upon such terms and conditions substantially
similar to those outlined in the Memorandum from Susan G. Rosenthal to
RIOC Board of Directors dated April 10, 2018, attached hereto;
In 2010, as the Franklin & Eleanor Roosevelt Institute (FERI) sought approval from RIOC to build
FDR Four Freedoms Park (FFP), the Roosevelt Island Disabled Association (RIDA), led by “Uncle
Jim” Bates and Nancy Brown, protested the lack of representation of FDR as disabled in the
park’s design.
In response, FERI pledged $100,000 toward a sculpture project sponsored by RIDA that would
portray FDR in his wheelchair at a site nearby to be determined. At the May 2010 meeting of
the Board of Directors, RIOC approved the siting of the FDR Hope Memorial at a location in
Southpoint Park just north of the Small Pox Hospital.
Jim Bates formed a committee, composed of people within and outside RIDA, which hired artist
Meredith Bergmann following a competitive selection process that included input from the
Percent for Art office of the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs. Following a period of extensive
research, the two-person scene was conceived and modeled by Ms. Bergmann and the plaza
was designed.
The sculpture depicts a joyous moment when FDR has turned to greet a young girl who, like
FDR, requires leg braces to walk. She has tucked her crutches under one arm in anticipation of
shaking hands with the president, who we know must be an extraordinary role model for her.
The phased distribution of pledged funds from FFP Conservancy was dependent on the
Conservancy’s approvals through design phases. Following a viewing of the full-scale clay
figures in the artist’s studio by a representative of the Conservancy and Mrs. Franklin D.
Roosevelt Jr., a daughter-in-law of President Roosevelt, the Conservancy released the last stage
of its funding.
Historians reviewed and suggested revisions to the timeline. These historians included the
director, archivist, and museum curator of the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library &
Museum; the archivist of Roosevelt Warm Springs; and the president of the Roosevelt Island
Historical Society.
The project was presented to the community as a small-scale model at RIVAA Gallery. A full-
scale mock-up of the sculpture at the site was reviewed by the committee.
Page 1 of 4
HOPE MEMORIAL PROJECT
The project has been continually reviewed by NYC Parks, which sponsored a courtesy review by
the NYC Public Design Commission (PDC), which recommended review by the Mayor’s Office for
People With Disabilities (MOPD). Design changes include the following:
• The slope up to the sculpture will be regraded even more gently than RIDA’s original
proposal, which brought the slope within ADA standards. The slope will be easy to navigate
by people in wheelchairs and will exceed ADA requirements.
• There will be a 24”-wide tactile guidepath along the granite approach — from the entry of
the site to the oval — that will guide people with visual impairments who are not
accompanied by a sighted person and use a white cane for travel.
• A curb, along with subtle sloping and tactile ridges at the sculpture, will alert people with
visual disabilities but not impede access by people in wheelchairs and people with walkers.
• Some sides of benches will not have arms in order to allow people with certain physical
disabilities to slide or transfer onto the benches. Other sides of benches will include arms as
support for people as they seat themselves. All benches will have backs.
These features represent best practices and exceed accommodations at current Parks-
sponsored sculptures, allowing the FDR Hope Memorial to be a model that Parks and MOPD
will refer to with pride.
The latest design changes will be reviewed once more by Parks and MOPD, and possibly again
by the PDC. Only minor revisions, if any, are expected. The project is expected to be required to
have a Waterfront Permit from NYC Small Business Services. A pre-filing meeting has been
scheduled.
SCULPTURES COMPLETE
The figures are complete, having been cast in bronze by Polich Tallex foundry in Orange County,
NY. The figures are currently stored at the foundry.
(FDR’s desk, which had originally been included in the composition, was removed for several
reasons, including a preference for a greater focus on the interaction of the two figures. In its
place, the timeline provides a more effective way to satisfy the committee’s goal to describe
the History and Vision.)
Page 2 of 4
HOPE MEMORIAL PROJECT
RIOC, RIDA, and the artist will share intellectual property rights.
The granite that forms the oval and the timeline pieces is Mt. Airy White granite from North
Carolina Granite. The surrounding stone is St. John’s Black granite from the same quarry. The
selection was made by the artist and committee after reviewing samples of granites from
numerous quarries and receiving price quotes from two quarries.
Mt. Airy White is the same granite as at Four Freedoms Park. North Carolina Granite is the only
source of this stone. The use of the same stone at both FFP and the FDR Hope Memorial is
intended to acknowledge a relationship between the two memorials and imply that the
extraordinary accomplishments of FDR, which are celebrated at FFP, must be seen in the
context of the challenges that FDR faced, which are honored at the FDR Hope Memorial.
In addition to the use of the same material, the pattern in which the stone is laid is the same at
both memorials. Both sites feature a running bond pattern using square pavers. The FDR Hope
Memorial’s pavers are about 20% smaller in area, appropriate to the smaller scale of the space
in which they lie.
Efficiencies of coordination and consistency are afforded by sourcing both stones from the
same quarry. Importantly, it gives the best opportunity for the curving joint between the two
types of stone at the edge of the oval to be a consistent width.
Allocation:
$ 150,000 NYC Council
The NYC Council funds are subject to a funding agreement between RIOC and the City, now in
negotiation, and will be disbursed as reimbursements for pre-approved construction expenses.
Page 3 of 4
HOPE MEMORIAL PROJECT
In 2017, RIDA redesigned the plaza to substantially reduce costs and bring the construction
budget close to available funding. At a review in late December, Parks and MOPD effectively
rejected most of the changes, expressing a strong preference for the original design with full
coverage of the site in granite and the timeline in its original form.
PENDING COSTS
AUTHORIZATIONS REQUESTED
The present request is for authorization to proceed with the FDR Hope Memorial construction
as a RIOC project and to purchase fabricated stone from North Carolina Granite at an estimated
cost of $193,147.
The outlay of RIOC funds is estimated not to exceed $428,496, the total of the two estimates
above. Pending receipt from the City of the reimbursement of $150,000 in construction costs,
RIOC’s final cost will not exceed $278,496.
The division of this authorization into the above two parts (stone fabrication and contractor
selection) is intended to reduce the project schedule by at least 10 weeks, as the 14- to 20-
week process of stone fabrication can occur concurrently with the development and issuance of
an RFP, the selection of a contractor, and the preparation of the site for stone installation.
According to this schedule, and if City vendor-contracting procedures do not substantially impact the
RFP process, construction is projected to begin in the summer and project completion is projected in the
fall of this year.
