Board Meeting.
Public Hearings: There are three (3) public hearings scheduled for February 16th. The first
public hearing acknowledges that the Town held a required public hearing to encourage public
comment on Irondequoit’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. The second
public hearing approves the Consolidated Sewer District extension to include 688 Seneca Road.
Commissioner of Public Works Robert Kiley stated that this is a new build, and the total
construction costs shall be paid by the owner. The third public hearing approves a Special Use
Permit (SUP) for 1825 E. Ridge Road in a M-Manufacturing District. An application was
submitted by Jenny Le to obtain a SUP to occupy the second floor of the site as an apartment and
the first floor as a professional/personal service shop. A positive referral was recommended by
the Planning Board. As this matter is a Type II Action pursuant to SEQRA and is a permitted use
of the property, no SEQRA review is required.
Appointments: There are three (3) appointments to be voted on. The first appointment would
hire Kevin LaBarr as a provisional Director of Information Services. Supervisor Seeley stated
that the IT department will be reorganized and made more efficient. Mr. LaBarr has worked
closely with the former Director of IT and he is familiar with the Town’s computer system. Mr.
LaBarr is coming from Fusion Digital and will begin April 1st. This is a provisional hire as the
WORKSHOP MEETING FEBRUARY 9, 2021 18
civil service exam was canceled due to COVID-19 and will be rescheduled to a later date. The
second resolution would appoint Mark Cannon as a Code Compliance Inspector. Director of
Community Development Kerry Ivers explained that a grant was awarded to the Town to fund a
full-time Code Compliance Inspector for two years to focus on zombie properties. She stated that
three candidates were interviewed, and Mark Cannon was recommended. He was the only
candidate with the required certification for the position. The third resolution would authorize
the appointment of Michael Moss as a provisional Communications Assistant. This is a
competitive Civil Service Title and when the exam is offered, Mr. Moss will take the exam and
must score within the top three to keep his position. Mr. Moss comes from Spectrum News
where he worked as a photographer and performed many other duties. He is a Town resident and
will begin work on February 22nd.
Police: Chief of Police Alan Laird reviewed four (4) resolutions. The first resolution authorizes
Officer Jonathan Lawton to attend the 2021 NYS Child Passenger Safety Technical Conference
in Saratoga Springs, NY from September 8 to September 10, 2021. Funding is available in the
2021 Police budget. The second resolution authorizes Investigator Christopher Soprano to attend
the 46th Annual Training Conference in Lake George, NY, beginning August 30th and ending
September 3rd. Funding is available in the 2021 Police budget. The third resolution approves the
abolishment of a signal at Portland Avenue and Buell Drive, Left Only/Northbound, and approves
and ratifies the establishment of a Stop Sign/Westbound at Buell Drive and Portland Avenue and
a sign for Center Lane Must Turn Left Only/Northbound & Southbound at Portland Avenue and
City Line to Buell Drive. These requests came from the Monroe County Department of
Transportation. This is a Type II Action under SEQRA and no further review is needed pursuant
to SEQRA. Monroe County is responsible for the installation, maintenance and removal of said
devices. The fourth resolution authorizes the approval of educational expenses for Sergeant
Jason Murphy. He will be attending Utica College’s Master of Science Cybersecurity Program.
Following the completion of his class, Foundations in Cyber Security, the Town will reimburse
Sgt. Murphy 80% of the tuition, technology fee and required books, if he receives at least a B in
the course. The expenses are approximately $2,416.50 and are available in the 2021 Police
budget.
Public Works: Commissioner of Public Works Robert Kiley reviewed six (6) resolutions. The
first resolution authorizes the purchase of one (1) new Appollo D9 Scan tool with a one-year data
plan from Snap-on Tools in the amount of $2,495.50, which reflects a trade-in of an existing
Modis Ultra Scan tool in the sum of $2,000. Commissioner Kiley explained that three written
quotes were obtained, and the lowest responsive quote was received from Snap-on Tools in the
sum of $4,495.50, minus a trade-in value for an existing scan tool of $2,000. The second
resolution authorizes the Supervisor to enter into an Intermunicipal Agreement with East
Irondequoit Central School District. The Town will contract with the School District to repair
parking lots, utilities, equipment, vehicles and maintain grounds. Commissioner Kiley stated that
the Town has the available manpower, machinery and expertise to provide these services to the
School District. The third resolution authorizes the Supervisor to enter into an Intermunicipal
Agreement with Point Pleasant Fire District. This is similar to the work the Town will be doing
for the East Irondequoit Central School District. All parties in these Agreements will benefit; it is
a win-win situation. The revenue received from these two entities will allow more work to be
done in Town. The fourth resolution will renew refuse services for various Town facilities.
Commissioner Kiley explained that the Town contracted last year with Waste Management for
refuse services for one year with up to three additional one-year terms. He explained that the
Town would like to renew for one year, beginning March 1, 2021 through February 28, 2022.
WORKSHOP MEETING FEBRUARY 9, 2021 19
Funding for these services is available in the 2021 budget. Councilmember Romeo stated that the
Town needs to put out more recycling bins at Town functions. The fifth resolution declares
certain equipment as surplus property and will auction off these items at the online municipal
auction to be held in March. The sixth resolution authorizes the transfer of General Fund
Balance to prepare a Master Plan for the Town Hall campus. Commissioner Kiley explained that
in 2016, the Public Works building, located on the Town Hall campus, was damaged in a fire. A
new Public Works building was constructed on East Ridge Road. Currently, the former Public
Works building and Salt Barn on the Town Hall campus are vacant. This is a good time to
reimagine the Town Hall campus by developing a Master Plan. Commissioner Kiley has
approached Town Engineer, LaBella Associates, to develop the Master Plan for an estimated total
fee of $49,500. Councilmember Wehner stated that he is 100% in favor of the Master Plan. He
stated that $50,000 was a sizeable contract and asked if the Commissioner had put out a Request
for Proposals for the preparation of the Master Plan. This would give the Town some time to
apply for State funding. Discussion on this matter ensued and Supervisor Seeley Tabled this
matter until a later date.
Supervisor: Supervisor Seeley reviewed three (3) resolutions. The first resolution calls for a
public hearing to allow for comments regarding a draft Police Reform and Reinvention Plan. He
explained that in June of 2020, Governor Cuomo issued Executive Order 203, which required
local governments with police departments to undertake a comprehensive review of current police
strategies, policies, procedures and practices and to develop a plan to improve such strategies,
policies, procedures and practices. The purpose of this review is to address the particular needs
of the community, promote trust and fairness and address any racial bias. Supervisor Seeley and
Chief of Police Alan Laird met with over 100 community stakeholders to discuss police reform.
In addition, a survey was sent out and over 665 responses were received over a two-week period.
Chief Laird has completed a comprehensive review of Police strategies, policies, procedures and
practices and has developed a draft Police Reform and Reinvention Plan. The public hearing will
be held on March 16th to allow for public comment on the draft Police Reform and Reinvention
Plan. The second resolution accepts a proposal for an analysis of Emergency Medical Service
(EMS) in Irondequoit. The Town issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) in January of 2021 for
consulting services to provide the Town with assessment and presentation of alternatives for EMS
in Irondequoit. The Center for Government Research has been recommended to provide such
services for a fee not to exceed $9,750. Funding is available in the 2021 budget. The third
resolution authorizes final payment for XLR8 Leadership and Training Program participation by
Chief Alan Laird and Captain Jessica Franco from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020 in an
amount not to exceed $4,800. This resolution should have been adopted last year as the training
was completed at the end of 2020.
On a motion made by Councilmember Romeo, seconded by Councilmember Wehner,
pursuant to Public Officers Law § 105, an Executive Session was called at 5:11 p.m. to discuss
the acquisition, lease or sale of real property or securities when publicity would substantially

2A2021-4 RESOLUTION APPROVING THE HIRING OF A PROVISIONAL
DIRECTOR OF INFORMATION SERVICES
On a motion made by Councilmember Perticone, seconded by Councilmember Wehner,
a resolution was adopted approving the hiring of Kevin LaBarr as a provisional Director of
Information Services, effective April 1, 2021.
Supervisor Seeley stated that a vacancy exists due to the resignation of Nate Stone. This
resolution authorizes the provisional appointment of Director of Information Services. Until
recently, both the information services and the external communications portion of the
department were handled by one person. It became clear that information services took up a
great deal of Nate Stone’s time. Supervisor Seeley stated that it would be best to have one in-
house person and he recommends hiring Kevin LaBarr to this provisional position. Mr. LaBarr
has worked with Nate Stone for several years and he knows the ins and outs of the Information
Services Department. He has worked on the Library and DPW projects and is now working on
the Irondequoit Community Center project. As there is no list for this position, Mr. LaBarr will
have to take the civil service exam when it becomes available and score within the top three in
order to be appointed permanently to this position.

he is a Town resident. This is a provisional appointment, and once the civil service exam is
offered, Mr. Moss will have to take the exam and score within the top three before being
permanently appointed. Mr. Moss will be responsible for providing information to the public,
overseeing ICAT and managing the Town’s website. Supervisor Seeley pointed out that

a resolution was adopted scheduling a public hearing to allow for public comment on the

Supervisor Seeley explained that Gov. Cuomo issued an Executive Order stating that any
municipality having a police department is required to develop a police reform and reinvention
plan for the municipality to adopt. Chief of Police Alan Laird has already begun the process and
has worked with other agencies regarding this directive. Supervisor Seeley noted that
Irondequoit was one of the first towns to hold a public engagement forum in July of 2020. A draft
plan will be available to the public on the Town’s website and a public hearing is scheduled for
March 16th at 7:35 PM. The Town will also take feedback from stakeholders before adopting a
final reform and reinvention plan. Chief Laird added that this has been a long process and a lot
of effort went into this reform and reinvention plan. He said a lot of members from the
community gave input and this is their plan. Supervisor Seeley said the Town Board will adopt a
resolution in connection with this matter. Councilmember Romeo wanted to clarify that this
resolution merely schedules a public hearing and Councilmember Freeman noted that the ICARE

provide consulting services to the Town for an Analysis of Emergency Medical Service in
Irondequoit which shall include, but not be limited to, an evaluation of baseline conditions

Supervisor Seeley explained that the Town sent out proposals regarding an analysis of emergency
medical service (EMS) in Irondequoit to determine what the baseline conditions are, as well as
an analysis of what other communities are doing with emergency medical services. The Town is
looking for potential alternatives for the future. The Center for Government Research submitted
a proposal that has been recommended by the Selection Committee to provide such services for a
fee not to exceed $9,750. Supervisor Seeley noted that the work would begin immediately.
Irondequoit is one of few towns that does not provide support to an EMS, and that will be one of
the alternatives that the Town will be looking at. The Town will be working with Paul Bishop
who has worked closely with Irondequoit fire departments.

2A2021-19 RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING AMENDMENTS TO COMMUNITY
CHOICE AGGREGATION AGREEMENT AND ELECTRICITY SUPPLY
AGREEMENT
On a motion made by Councilmember Freeman, seconded by Councilmember Romeo, a
resolution was adopted rescinding Resolution No. 2020-255 which authorized certain
amendments to the CCA Agreement and the Electricity Supply Agreement; authorizing the
Supervisor to execute a revised Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the City of
Rochester and any of the original municipalities as wish to proceed; authorizing the
Supervisor to execute the Amended and Restated Community Choice Aggregation
Agreement; authorizing Joule, Program Manager, to issue a Supply RFP with bids to be
evaluated; approving the revised Electricity Supply Agreement; authorizing Joule, in its
role as Program Administrator to manage the energy procurement process, prepare and
issue the Supply RFP and making recommendations for award to the Town and having the
Supervisor make the final award decision.
Supervisor Seeley explained that this resolution is the most recent of several on this program.
The Community Choice Aggregation Program was created by Local Law in 2018, providing for a
REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING FEBRUARY 16, 2021 29
program in Irondequoit. This Program allows communities to aggregate their energy supply,
particularly electric supply. This Program is for homeowners and small businesses looking to
secure a fixed rate for their energy supply. This rate has generally been lower than the market
rate offered by the utility. This Program also promotes the use of 100% renewable clean energy.
The Town has partnered with other municipalities and Roctricity LLC and selected Joule Assets,
Inc. to act as Program Administrator for the Program. Supervisor Seeley noted that no bids have
been submitted that meet the conditions set forth in the Program. The rates for electricity have
been relatively low over the past year and it has been difficult to meet that baseline. Fortunately,
the cost of renewable energy is becoming more competitive and closer to the baseline. The
amendments outlined in this resolution would refine the requirements for the Program and allow
the Town to partner with the City of Rochester, along with as many of the other municipalities, to
seek bids from renewable electricity suppliers. This would increase the number of households
that would be looking to secure power. The Program Administrator would be going out for bids
that would satisfy particular agreements, requiring that the residents enrolled in the Program
can opt out or opt down to a less-expensive source. The Program ensures that only a 100%
renewable product would be secured and would solicit rate quotes based on a fixed percentage of
at least 15% below the current lowest offer for a 24-month fixed rate with no cancellation fee.
The Supervisor stated that he wants the Town to continue moving forward with promoting and
using renewable energy and hopes the Town will receive a successful bid. He thanked
Councilmember Romeo for all her help on this matter.

a resolution was adopted approving the transfer of $8,500 from the General Fund Balance to
utilize the Town Engineer, LaBella Associates, to conduct a soil study and perform related
work pursuant to Work Task Authorization for an estimated total fee of $8,500.
Commissioner of Public Works Robert Kiley explained that this resolution would transfer $8,500
from the General Fund Balance to LaBella Associates to conduct a soil study and perform related
work with the hope of developing a master plan for the redevelopment of vacant properties on the
Town Hall Campus. The Department of Public Works building and Salt Barn on the Town Hall
Campus were damaged in a fire in December of 2016. The Town, working with the Town
Engineer LaBella Associates, would like to develop a Master Plan for the redevelopment of these
vacant sites. This is the first step in creating a park-like setting of the Town Hall and Library to
benefit the community.

process permit applications and code complaints, which is operated and maintained by Edmunds
GovTech Inc. (formerly Business Automated Solutions, Inc.); and

would allow permit applications and code complaints to be submitted directly via a link on the
Town’s website and connect directly to the Community Development Department’s desktop
software program; and
WHEREAS, the online permitting module includes credit card payment processing, which is
provided by CSG Forte Payments, Inc., the sole-source, third-party credit processing firm

WHEREAS, the Town must enter into a separate agreement with the sole-source, third-party

authorize entry into agreements to receive payments and other charges by credit card, subject to
the Town’s written procurement policies and procedures; and

AGENCY believes was made erroneously or without proper authorization. At AGENCY's request, FORTE will
make commercially reasonable efforts to reverse, modify, void or delete a Transaction after it has been submitted
for settlement. All requests must be made in writing (electronic mail will be deemed as “in writing” for these
purposes), signed or sent by an individual pre-authorized by AGENCY to make such requests, and delivered to

by AGENCY or other third parties as a result of FORTE's failure to accomplish the request before the
Transaction has been processed through the applicable Payment Network.
6.8 Delay or Rejection of Transactions. FORTE may delay or reject any Transaction without prior

CSG#33780 03-06-21
6.11 Excessive Chargebacks. Using limits established by Associations as a standard for review, FORTE
reserves the right to suspend and/or terminate AGENCY’s access to the Services should AGENCY’s chargeback
ratio exceed allowable limits in any given period. FORTE will make reasonable efforts to provide AGENCY with
notice and a time to cure its excessive chargebacks prior to suspending or terminating AGENCY’s access to the
Services. AGENCY acknowledges and expressly authorizes FORTE, in compliance with Payment Association
Rules and Regulations, to provide to the Payment Associations and applicable regulatory bodies, AGENCY’s
name and contact information as well as transaction details should AGENCY’s chargeback ratio exceed the
allowable limits in any given period.

6.13 Settlement. Settlement of AGENCY’s funds for Transactions, less any Chargebacks or Returns, to
AGENCY’s designated Settlement Account will occur within 72 hours of origination excluding weekends and
US federal banking holidays. Settlement of Transactions will occur via electronic funds transfer over the ACH
Network. Upon receipt of Agency’s sales data for card transactions through FORTE’s Services, Acquirer will
process AGENCY’s sales data to facilitate the funds transfer between the various Payment Associations and
AGENCY. After Acquirer receives credit for such sales data, Acquirer will fund AGENCY, either directly to
the AGENCY-Owned Designated Account or through FORTE to an account designated by FORTE (“FORTE
Designated Account”), at Acquirer’s sole option, for such card transactions. AGENCY agrees that the deposit of
funds to the FORTE Designated Account shall discharge Acquirer of its settlement obligation to AGENCY, and
that any dispute regarding the receipt or amount of settlement shall be between FORTE and AGENCY. Acquirer
will debit the FORTE Designated Account for funds owed to Acquirer as a result of the Services provided
hereunder, unless an Agency-owned account is otherwise designated by AGENCY. Further, if a cardholder
disputes a Transaction, if a Transaction is charged back for any reason, or if FORTE or Acquirer reasonably
believe a Transaction is unauthorized or otherwise unacceptable, the amount of such Transaction may be charged
back and debited from AGENCY if settled to an Agency-owned account or debited from the FORTE Designated
Account if settled to that account.
6.14 Provisional and Final Payment. AGENCY, AGENCY’s third party senders (if applicable), and/or
AGENCY’s agent(s) understand and agree that Entries may be transmitted through the ACH Network, that
payment of an Entry by the RDFI to the Receiver is provisional until receipt by the RDFI of final settlement for
such Entry, and that if such settlement is not received, then the RDFI will be entitled to a refund from the
Receiver of the amount credited and AGENCY will not be deemed to have paid the Receiver the amount of the
Entry. The rights and obligations of AGENCY concerning the Entry are governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the state in which the processing ODFI is located, unless AGENCY and FORTE
have agreed that the laws of another jurisdiction govern their rights and obligations.

through the Internet-based FORTE platform.

including but not limited to the VISA Cardholder Information Security Program, the MasterCard Site Data
Protection Program, and any other program or requirement that may be published and/or mandated by the
Associations. Each Party agrees to cooperate and provide information reasonably requested by the other to
facilitate its compliance with any applicable Law, Rule or Regulation. Additionally, should a Payment
Association or regulatory body impose a fee or fine on AGENCY for any violation of the Rules or Laws by
AGENCY, such fee or fine may be charged to FORTE as a pass-through to AGENCY. If any such fee or fine is
charged to FORTE, AGENCY shall reimburse FORTE for any such fees or fines.
12. PRICING AND PAYMENT
12.1 FORTE will provide the Services in accordance with the fees listed on the Pricing Fee Schedule attached

payments are accepted, Merchant must indicate its acceptance of the Card and display American Express'
Marks (including any Card application forms provided to Merchant) as prominently and in the same manner
as any Other Payment Products. Merchant must not use American Express' Marks in any way that injures or

claims, and encumbrances other than ordinary sales taxes; provided, however, that Merchant may sell and
assign future American Express transaction receivables to FORTE, its affiliated entities and/or any other
cash advance funding source that partners with FORTE or its affiliated entities, without consent of
American Express.
12. Merchant hereby agrees that American Express shall have third party beneficiary rights, but not
obligations, to enforce this Agreement as against Merchant to the extent applicable to American Express
processing. Merchant understands and agrees that it shall have no third party beneficiary rights under any
agreement between FORTE and American Express and/or Acquirer. Merchant shall maintain refund policies
for purchases on the American Express card that are at least as favorable as its refund policy for purchases on
any other payment product. Merchant will disclose any such refund policy to Cardmembers at the time of
purchase and in compliance with the Operating Guide and all applicable Laws. Merchant’s termination of
American Express Card acceptance shall have no direct or indirect effect on Merchant’s rights to accept
other card brands. To terminate American Express acceptance, Merchant may contact FORTE customer
service as described in this Agreement.
13. Without limiting any other rights provided herein, FORTE and/or Acquirer shall have the right to
immediately terminate Merchant’s acceptance of American Express cards upon request of American
Express. Merchant may not bill or collect from any Cardmember for any purchase or payment on the Card

Purpose, Scope, Situation Overview, and Assumptions
Purpose
This plan has been developed in accordance with the amended New York State Labor Law §27-c, as
amended by Chapter 168 of 2020, which was signed into law by Governor Andrew Cuomo on
September 7, 2020. This new law requires public employers to adopt a plan for operations in the event
of a declared public health emergency involving a communicable disease. The plan includes the
identification of essential positions, facilitation of remote work for non-essential positions, provision
of personal protective equipment, and protocols for supporting contact tracing.
Scope
This plan was developed exclusively for and is applicable to Town of Irondequoit. This plan is
pertinent to a declared public health emergency in the State of New York which may impact our
operations; and it is in the interest of the safety of our employees and contractors, and the continuity of
our operations that we have promulgated this plan.
Situation Overview
On March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization declared a pandemic for the novel coronavirus
which causes the COVID-19 severe acute respiratory syndrome. This plan has been developed in
accordance with amended laws to support continued resilience for a continuation of the spread of this
disease or for other infectious diseases which may emerge and cause a declaration of a public health
emergency.
The health and safety of our employees and contractors is crucial to maintaining our mission essential
operations. We encourage all employees and contractors to use updated Center for Disease Control
Guidance for Keeping Workplaces, Schools, Homes, and Commercial Establishments Safe. The
fundamentals of reducing the spread of infection include:
• Using hand sanitizer and washing hands with soap and water frequently, including:
o After using the restroom
o After returning from a public outing
o After touching/disposing of garbage
o After using public computers, touching public tables, and countertops, etc.
• Practice social distancing when possible
• If you are feeling ill or have a fever, notify your supervisor immediately and go home
• If you start to experience coughing or sneezing, step away from people and food, cough or
sneeze into the crook of your arm or a tissue, the latter of which should be disposed of
immediately
• Clean and disinfect workstations at the beginning, middle, and end of each shift
• Other guidance which may be published by the CDC, the State Department of Health, or
County health officials.
3 of 11
Planning Assumptions
This plan was developed based on information, best practices, and guidance available as of the date of
publication. The plan was developed to largely reflect the circumstances of the current Coronavirus
pandemic but may also be applicable to other infectious disease outbreaks.
The following assumptions have been made in the development of this plan:
• The health and safety of our employees and contractors, and their families, is of utmost
importance.
• The circumstances of a public health emergency may directly impact our own operations.
• Impacts of a public health emergency will take time for us to respond to, with appropriate
safety measures put into place and adjustments made to operations to maximize safety.
• The public and our constituency expects us to maintain a level of mission essential operations.
• Resource support from other jurisdictions may be limited based upon the level of impact the
public health emergency has upon them.
• Supply chains, particularly those for personal protective equipment (PPE) and cleaning
supplies, may be heavily impacted, resulting in considerable delays in procurement.
• The operations of other entities, including the private sector (vendors, contractors, etc.), non-
profit organizations, and other governmental agencies and services may also be impacted due
to the public health emergency, causing delays or other disruptions in their services.
• Emergency measures and operational changes may need to be adjusted based upon the specific
circumstances and impacts of the public health emergency, as well as guidance and direction
from public health officials and the governor.
• Per Chapter 168, ‘essential employee’ is defined as a public employee or contractor that is
required to be physically present at a work site to perform their job.
• Per Chapter 168, ‘non-essential employee’ is defined as a public employee or contractor that is
not required to be physically present at a work site to perform their job.
Concept of Operations
The Supervisor of Town of Irondequoit, their designee, or their successor holds the authority to
execute and direct the implementation of this plan. Implementation, monitoring of operations, and
adjustments to plan implementation may be supported by additional personnel, at the discretion of the
Supervisor.
Upon the determination of implementing this plan, all employees and contractors of Town of
Irondequoit shall be notified by a public announcement, with details provided as possible and
necessary, with additional information and updates provided on a regular basis. Town residents and
businesses will be notified of pertinent operational changes by public announcement. Other interested
parties, such as vendors, will be notified by phone and/or email as necessary. The Supervisor’s office
will maintain communications with the public and constituents as needed throughout the
implementation of this plan.
The Supervisor of Town of Irondequoit, their designee, or their successor will maintain awareness of
information, direction, and guidance from public health officials and the Governor’s office, directing
the implementation of changes as necessary.
4 of 11
Upon resolution of the public health emergency, the Supervisor of Town of Irondequoit, their
designee, or their successor will direct the resumption of normal operations or operations with
modifications as necessary.
Mission Essential Functions
When confronting events that disrupt normal operations, Town of Irondequoit is committed to
ensuring that essential functions will be continued even under the most challenging circumstances.
Essential functions are those functions that enable an organization to:
1. Protect the health of our employees, contractors, and constituency
2. Provide for the continued operation of Government under any circumstances.
3. Provide vital services, including but not limited to public safety and maintenance of core town
infrastructure.
4. Provide services required by state and federal law.
5. Sustain quality operations.
6. Uphold the core values of the Town of Irondequoit.
The Town of Irondequoit has identified as critical only those priority functions that are required or are
necessary to provide vital services. During activation of this plan, all other activities may be suspended
to enable the organization to concentrate on providing the critical functions and building the internal
capabilities necessary to increase and eventually restore operations. Appropriate communications with
employees, contractors, our constituents, and other stakeholders will be an ongoing priority.
Essential Positions
Each essential function identified above requires certain positions on-site to effectively operate. The
table below identifies the positions or titles that are essential to be staffed on-site for the continued
operation of each essential function. Note that while some functions and associated personnel may be

It is important to note that Justice Court is a vital component of town government, with Justice Court
functions budgeted and supported by the Town Board and Town Supervisor. However, we recognize
that the New York State Office of Court Administration holds dominion over Justice Courts and, as
such, may issue orders which suspend or alter the hours of operation or means by which Justice Courts
operate; which may not fully align with this plan or other measures taken by the Town Board or Town
Supervisor. As such, the Town Board and Town Supervisor will coordinate as necessary with Justice
Court personnel to ensure safe and effective continuity of town Justice Court.
Reducing Risk Through Remote Work and Staggered Shifts
Through assigning certain staff to work remotely and by staggering work shifts, we can decrease
crowding and density at work sites and on public transportation.
Remote Work Protocols
Non-essential employees and contractors able to accomplish their functions remotely will be enabled
to do so at the greatest extent possible. Working remotely requires:
1. Identification of staff who will work remotely.
2. Approval and assignment of remote work.
3. Equipping staff for remote work, which may include:
a. Internet capable laptop.
b. Necessary peripherals.
c. Access to VPN and/or secure network drives.
d. Access to software and databases necessary to perform their duties.
e. Forwarding telephone lines to off-site staff.
Front-line supervisors and Department Heads are responsible, in consultation with the IT Department,
for determining technology needs for each non-essential worker. Procurement of requisite equipment
will follow normal purchasing procedures and approvals, unless a State of Emergency is declared.
As possible, ‘essential’ staff may be assigned to work remotely for part of their work week to reduce
exposures. Further, business hours and locations of Town government may be altered to best
accommodate public health protective actions for employees and the public. Alterations to building
access and the means by which the public interacts with Town employees may also take place to
support these protections. Protective actions may include, but are not limited to occupancy restrictions,
protective barriers, and increased conduct of business by internet, phone, or other means. Protective
actions will be taken in accordance with Monroe County and New York State Health Departments, and
CDC guidelines and requirements.
8 of 11
Staggered Shifts
Implementing staggered shifts may be possible for personnel performing duties which are necessary to
be performed on-site but perhaps less sensitive to being accomplished only within core business hours.
As possible, management will identify opportunities for staff to work outside core business hours as a
strategy of limiting exposure. Regardless of changes in start and end times of shifts, Town of
Irondequoit will ensure that employees are provided with their typical or contracted minimum work
hours per week. Staggering shifts requires:
1. Identification of positions for which work hours will be staggered.
2. Approval and assignment of changed work hours.
Department heads will exercise their discretion while abiding by contractual obligations to determine
when staggered shifts and/or staggered start and end times are appropriate and effective in limiting
exposure.
Personal Protective Equipment
The use of personal protective equipment (PPE) to reduce the spread of infectious disease is important
to supporting the health and safety of our employees and contractors. PPE which may be needed can
include:
• Masks
• Face Shields
• Gloves
• Disposable gowns and aprons
Note that while cleaning supplies are not PPE, there is a related need for cleaning supplies used to
sanitize surfaces, as well as hand soap and hand sanitizer. The Coronavirus pandemic demonstrated
that supply chains were not able to keep up with increased demand for these products early in the
pandemic. As such, we are including these supplies in this section as they are pertinent to protecting
the health and safety of our employees and contractors.
Protocols for providing PPE include the following:
1. Identification of need for PPE based upon job duties and work location on a departmental level.
2. Procurement of PPE.
a. As specified in the amended law, public employers must be able to provide at least two
pieces of each required type of PPE to each essential employee and contractor during
any given work shift for at least six months.
b. A list of established suppliers will be maintained by the Commissioner of Public
Works, or their designee.
3. Storage of, access to, and monitoring of PPE stock
a. PPE must be stored in a manner which will prevent degradation
b. Employees and contractors will have immediate access to a 60-day supply of PPE in the
event of an emergency, with an additional 4-month supply readily available
c. The supply of PPE will be monitored by the Commissioner of Public Works, or their
designee, to ensure integrity and to track usage rates
9 of 11
Staff Exposures, Cleaning, and Disinfection
Staff Exposures
Staff exposures are organized under several categories based upon the type of exposure and presence
of symptoms. Following CDC guidelines, we have established the following protocols. These
protocols may be superseded state, county or federal public health guidelines established:
A. If employees or contractors are exposed to a known case of communicable disease that is the
subject of the public health emergency (defined as a ‘close contact’ with someone who is
confirmed infected, which is a prolonged presence within six feet with that person):
a. Potentially exposed employees or contractors who do not have symptoms should
remain at home or in a comparable setting and practice social distancing for the lesser
of 14 days or other current CDC/public health guidance for the communicable disease
in question.
i. As possible, these employees will be permitted to work remotely during this
period if they are not ill.
ii. The Director of Personnel must be notified and will ensure these protocols are
followed.
iii. See the section titled Documentation of Work Hours and Locations for
additional information on contact tracing.
b. CDC guidelines for COVID-19 provide that critical essential employees may be
permitted to continue work following potential exposure, provided they remain
symptom-free and additional precautions are taken to protect them, other employees
and contractors, and our constituency/public.
i. Additional precautions will include the requirement of the subject employee or
contractor, as well as others working in their proximity, to wear appropriate PPE
at all times to limit the potential of transmission.
ii. In-person interactions with the subject employee or contractor will be limited as
much as possible.
iii. Work areas in which the subject employee or contractor are present will be
disinfected according to current CDC/public health protocol at least every hour,
as practical. See the section on Cleaning and Disinfection for additional
information on that subject.
iv. If at any time they exhibit symptoms, refer to item B below.
v. The Director of Personnel is the decision-maker in these circumstances and is
responsible for ensuring these protocols are followed.
B. If an employee or contractor exhibits symptoms of the communicable disease that is the subject
of the public health emergency:
a. Employees and contractors who exhibit symptoms in the workplace should be
immediately separated from other employees, customers, and visitors. They should
immediately be sent home with a recommendation to contact their physician.
b. Employees and contractors who exhibit symptoms outside of work should notify their
supervisor and stay home, with a recommendation to contact their physician.
c. Employees should not return to work until they have met the criteria to discontinue
home isolation per CDC/public health guidance and have consulted with a healthcare
provider.
d. Town of Irondequoit will not require sick employees to provide a negative test result for
the disease in question or healthcare provider’s note to validate their illness, qualify for
sick leave, or return to work; unless there is a recommendation from the CDC/public
health officials to do so.
10 of 11
e. CDC criteria for COVID-19 provides that persons exhibiting symptoms may return to
work if at least 24 hours have passed since the last instance of fever without the use of
fever-reducing medications. If the disease in question is other than COVID-19, CDC
and other public guidance shall be referenced.
f. The Director of Personnel must be informed in these circumstances and is responsible
for ensuring these protocols are followed.
C. If an employee or contractor has tested positive for the communicable disease that is the
subject of the public health emergency:
a. Apply the steps identified in item B, above, as applicable.
b. Areas occupied for prolonged periods of time by the subject employee or contractor
will be closed off.
i. CDC guidance for COVID-19 indicates that a period of 24 hours is ideally given
before cleaning, disinfecting, and reoccupation of those spaces will take place. If
this time period is not possible, a period of as long as possible will be given.
CDC/public health guidance for the disease in question will be followed.
ii. Any common areas entered, surfaces touched, or equipment used shall be
cleaned and disinfected immediately.
iii. See the section on Cleaning and Disinfection for additional information on that
subject.
c. Identification of potential employee and contractor exposures will be conducted
i. If an employee or contractor is confirmed to have the disease in question, the
Director of Personnel or their designee should inform all contacts of their
possible exposure. Confidentiality shall be maintained as required by law.
ii. Apply the steps identified in item A, above, as applicable, for all potentially
exposed personnel.
D. The Director of Personnel must be notified in these circumstances and is responsible for
ensuring these protocols are followed.
E. Should the Federal, State or County government(s) establish contract tracing procedures and/or
mandatory quarantine guidelines similar to those utilized during the COVID-19 pandemic, the
Town shall determine if the internal guidelines established above are consistent with any such
Federal, State or County guidelines.
We recognize there may be nuances or complexities associated with potential exposures, close
contacts, symptomatic persons, and those testing positive. We will follow CDC/public health
recommendations and requirements and coordinate with our local public health office for additional
guidance and support as needed.
Cleaning and Disinfecting
CDC/public health guidelines will be followed for cleaning and disinfection of surfaces/areas. Present
guidance for routine cleaning during a public health emergency includes:
1. As possible, employees and contractors will clean their own workspaces in the beginning,
middle, and end of their shifts, at a minimum.
a. High traffic/high touch areas and areas which are accessible to the public/constituents
will be disinfected at least hourly.
b. The Building Manager is responsible for ensuring cleaning of common areas, and the
frequency of such.
2. Staff tasked with cleaning and disinfecting areas will be issued and required to wear PPE
appropriate to the task.
11 of 11

question and which are appropriate for that surface.

Employee and Contractor Leave
Public health emergencies are extenuating and unanticipated circumstances in which Town of
Irondequoit is committed to reducing the burden on our employees and contractors. All existing leave
policies remain in full force and effect as well as any additional provisions which may be enacted
based upon need and the guidance and requirements in place by federal and state employment laws,
FMLA, executive orders, and other potential sources.
Contractors, either independent or affiliated with a contracted firm, are not classified as employees of
Town of Irondequoit, and as such are not provided with paid leave time by the Town, unless required
by law.
Documentation of Work Hours and Locations
In a public health emergency, it may be necessary to document work hours and locations of each
employee and contractor to support contact tracing efforts. Identification of locations shall include on-
site work and off-site visits. This information may be used by Town of Irondequoit to support contact
tracing within the organization and may be shared with local public health officials. This protocol will
be managed via existing timekeeping policies and procedures for employees. Contractors are required
to sign in and out of each facility.
Housing for Essential Employees
There are circumstances within a public health emergency when it may be prudent to have essential
employees lodged in such a manner which will help prevent the spread of the subject communicable
disease to protect these employees from potential exposures, thus helping to ensure their health and
safety and the continuity of Town of Irondequoit’s essential operations.
If such a need arises, hotel rooms are expected to be the most viable option. If hotel rooms are for
some reason deemed not practical or ideal, or if there are no hotel rooms available, Town of
Irondequoit will coordinate with the Monroe County Office of Emergency Management to help
identify and arrange for these housing needs. The Commissioner of Public Works is responsible for
coordinating this effort.

SECOND AMENDMENT TO PROJECT SCHEDULE
THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO PROJECT SCHEDULE (this “Second Amendment”) is made
and entered into as of ____________, 2021 (the “Effective Date”) by and between Skyview Phase
I LLC, a New York limited liability company with offices at 550 Latona Road, Building E, Suite
501, Rochester, New York 14626 (the “Landlord”) and the TOWN OF IRONDEQUOIT, a municipal
corporation with offices at 1280 Titus Avenue, Rochester, New York 14617 (the “Tenant”).
WHEREAS, 1733 Ridge Rd LLC (“Former Landlord”), a New York limited liability
company, and Tenant entered into the Lease Agreement dated January 30, 2019 (the “Lease”)
whereby Former Landlord leased to Tenant the Premises, as defined therein; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Lease, Former Landlord and Tenant entered into the Project
Schedule dated January 6, 2020 (the “Project Schedule”) whereby Former Landlord and Tenant
delineated their responsibilities with respect to the costs and construction of improvements to the
Premises; and
WHEREAS, on December 27, 2019, Former Landlord conveyed its fee interest in the
Premises to Landlord; and
WHEREAS, by the Assignment and Assumption of Lease and Project Schedule, dated
April 13, 2020 (the “Assignment”), Former Landlord assigned, transferred, and conveyed the
Lease and Project Schedule to Landlord, together with all of Former Landlord’s right, title, and
interest in and to the Lease and Project Schedule, with all of the rights, benefits and privileges of
the Former Landlord thereunder; and
WHEREAS, by the Assignment, Landlord undertook and assumed all responsibilities and

WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant desire to amend Section 15 to allocate among the
parties certain additional unforeseen costs.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:
1. Section 15 of the Project Schedule is hereby amended to add a new paragraph, as
follows:
g. The parties agree to share the costs of installing 12 feet tall butt glazed glass windows
(the “Butt Glazed Windows”) along the lower level common wall between the
Premises and the Mall. The Tenant shall install the Butt Glazed Windows at its initial
cost and expense, anticipated to be $286,710.05 and in no event to exceed $300,000
(the “Upfront Cost”). The Landlord shall thereafter reimburse the Town for the
2
9723672_2
Upfront Cost exceeding $119,554, in equal installments over ten years (the “Landlord
Reimbursement”). For the sake of clarity, the Tenant’s share of the Upfront cost shall
be $119,554 (“Tenant’s Share”) and the Landlord Reimbursement shall be the
difference between the Tenant’s Share and the total Upfront Cost, and in no event to
exceed $180,446. The Landlord shall make the Landlord Reimbursement as follows:
for the second through eleventh calendar years following the Rent Commencement
Date, upon Landlord submitting to Tenant the Reconciliation Statement described in

Reconciliation Statement equal to one-tenth of the Landlord Reimbursement. Each
payment toward the Landlord Reimbursement shall be subject to Tenant’s Right to
Audit as set forth in Section 6(c) of the Lease. In the eleventh year, should Landlord
owe Tenant any credit on future Rent which is attributable to the Landlord
Reimbursement, Landlord shall make the entire Landlord Reimbursement then-owed
in a single payment in cash.
2. Except as amended hereby and as previously amended, the Project Schedule shall
remain unmodified and in full force and effect. In the event of an inconsistency between the
Project Schedule, the First Amendment, and this Second Amendment, the terms of this Second
Amendment shall control.
3. This Second Amendment shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the
parties and their respective successors and/or assigns.
4. This Second Amendment may be executed in several counterparts, each of which
shall be an original and all of which shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

foster cooperation among private and public entities with respect to the generation and
transmission of electricity; and
WHEREAS, in 2015, the Governor of the State of New York signed legislation facilitating
the sale of street lighting systems from utility companies to municipalities in order to
encourage the transition from existing metal halide lighting technology to light emitting
diode (“LED”) street lighting technology; and
WHEREAS, LED bulbs are more efficient than metal halide bulbs and therefore upgrading
street lights to LED technology improves the environment by reducing reliance on
electricity generating facilities, including facilities that burn on fossil fuels; and
WHEREAS, upgrading street lights to LED technology reduces the cost of street lighting
by reducing the amount of electricity required and, where street lights are purchased by a
municipality, by eliminating certain fees ordinarily charged by utility companies; and
WHEREAS, NYPA has adopted a Smart Street Lighting NY Initiative to help local
governments purchase street lighting systems and upgrade them to LED technology,
offering support at every step of the acquisition process, including performing a cost-
benefit analysis, performing scoping and design work, conducting procurements of goods
and services, and providing a financing strategy; and
9694617_2
WHEREAS, pursuant to Public Authorities Law Section 1005(17) and General Municipal
Law § 99-r, the Town of Irondequoit (“Town”) may enter into a contract with NYPA to
receive energy related services, including services related to the NYPA Smart Street
Lighting NY Initiative; and
WHEREAS, before providing services to the Town, NYPA requires the Town to enter
into: (a) an “Authorization to Proceed” agreement and (b) an Energy Services Program
Master Cost Recovery Agreement with exhibits thereto (collectively, the “NYPA
Agreements”); and
WHEREAS, the Authorization to Proceed Agreement commits the Town to using
NYPA’s services to perform preliminary development, design, and bidding work and to
paying NYPA’s fees until the parties agree upon a Customer Project Commitment. Should
the Town proceed and move forward with a Customer Project Commitment, NYPA’s fees
will be rolled into the overall costs of the project. But should the Town decline to proceed,
it will be required to reimburse NYPA for all costs up to the termination date for the
development, design, and bidding of the project (the “NYPA Preliminary Fees”). The
NYPA Preliminary Fees are anticipated to be no greater that $30,000.00.
WHEREAS, the Town Board determines that it is in the Town’s best interests to authorize
the Supervisor to enter into the NYPA Agreements.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Town Board authorizes the
Supervisor to execute the NYPA Agreements in substantially the forms annexed hereto
and as may be modified and approved by the Attorney for the Town, and to execute any
and all other documents relating to the NYPA Agreements.
AND, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Town Board authorizes
the Town to incur the NYPA Preliminary Fees in an amount not to exceed $30,000.00, and
should the Town proceed with a Customer Project Commitment to pay such fees as part of
the overall project costs, and should it decline to proceed with a Customer Project
Commitment to pay such fees from Account Nos.:

ARTICLE I
SCOPE AND APPLICATION OF AGREEMENT;
ORDER OF PRECEDENCE
1.1 Transaction Documents. In connection with each Project, the Parties will, either
concurrently with or subsequently to this Master Agreement, enter into one or more Customer
Project Commitments, or similar memoranda, that define a specific Project(s) and the costs and
fees associated with such Project, and associated Ancillary Documents. Except as otherwise
expressly set forth therein, all Transaction Documents, upon execution by the Parties, shall be
governed by the terms and conditions of this Master Agreement. Each Transaction Document
shall contain a specific reference to this Master Agreement and CPC, as applicable. This Master
Agreement does not obligate Authority to accept requests for Projects issued by Customer or
obligate any Party to enter into a CPC.
1.2 Entire Agreement. Subject to the provisions of Section 1.4 below, with respect to
a Project, this Master Agreement (including Exhibits A, B, and C and any other exhibits,
schedules or appendices hereto) and any Transaction Document which specifically references a
Project, constitute the entire agreement between Authority and Customer concerning such
Project, and supersedes all prior negotiations, representations, contracts and agreements
concerning such Project.
1.3 Conflict and Order of Precedence. In the event of a conflict between the terms of
this Master Agreement and the terms and conditions set forth in another Transaction Document,
or between the terms of two or more Transaction Documents in effect for a Project, the order of
precedence shall be a follows: (i) the terms of the CPC for such Project (as amended by
Contingency Work Orders and/or Change Orders and as superseded by the Final CPC) but solely
with respect to the price (i.e., the Project’s Total Reimbursement Costs), payment and financing
terms, and scope of Work (including description of milestones) of the Project; (ii) the terms of
this Master Agreement; (iii) the remaining terms of the Project CPC; and (iv) the terms of any
Ancillary Document. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties agree that with respect to
Specific Subject Matters, if the terms of a Transaction Document concerning a Specific Subject
Matter are more favorable to Authority than the respective terms set forth in this Master
Agreement, the more favorable terms of the Transaction Document shall prevail with respect to
the Project to which it relates. (By way of example, if a Transaction Document includes a term
that disclaims any warranties by Authority (or Service Provider) for Work performed, such term
would prevail over the warranties set forth in Section 7.1. hereof.)
1.4 Other Agreements. This Master Agreement supersedes all Master Cost Recovery
Agreements, Energy Services Agreements or other agreements governing services under the ESP
entered into by the Parties prior to the execution of this Master Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, this Master Agreement does not supersede and does not apply to any Other Agreements
existing between Customer and Authority. Any projects which Authority has undertaken or
undertakes at Customer Facilities pursuant to such Other Agreements, or under prior Energy
Services Agreements under which projects remain incomplete as of the date of this Master
Agreement, shall be governed by those agreements and related documents, unless otherwise agreed
in writing. Termination of this Master Agreement shall have no effect on the Other Agreements
which will remain in full force and effect according to their respective terms.
1.5 Amendments. This Master Agreement and any other Transaction Document
executed in connection herewith may be amended only in writing signed by an authorized officer
or designee of Authority and Customer.
ARTICLE II
GENERAL PROJECT STRUCTURE
2.1 Customer Project Commitment or CPC. For each Project undertaken under this
Master Agreement, the parties will enter into one or more CPC(s), each of which will state the
specific terms and conditions applicable to such Project, segregating the Project into logical phases
to be performed consecutively. Each CPC will include, at a minimum, the phasing plan setting forth
how the Project will proceed, the location of Customer’s Facility, scope of Work, (including
description of milestones, if any), projected Total Reimbursement Costs, and payment terms.
The Authority is not obligated to commence any Work for a particular Project unless or
until a CPC is executed by Authority and Customer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties
may agree to expedite the commencement of a portion of the Work associated with a particular
Project prior to the execution of a CPC provided that the Parties memorialize such agreement prior
to the commencement of such Work in a writing that sets forth the specific items of Work to be
commenced and the associated cost of such Work. In such event, Customer agrees to bear the
costs of any Work undertaken by Authority or its Service Providers for Customer in preparation
for or with respect to such Project or potential Project even if no CPC is ultimately executed.
2.2 Final CPC. As soon as practicable following completion of the Work and receipt
of all invoices associated with a Project, Authority will generate a Final CPC which will include
all Contingency Work Orders, and all agreed-upon Change Orders, if any. The Final CPC will
reconcile the Total Reimbursement Costs set forth in the CPC on the basis of Authority’s actual
costs and will supersede all prior CPCs. The Final CPC shall also describe the Project -specific
terms for the Work completed at the Facility or Facilities, Customer’s Short-Term Repayment
Obligation, and the final repayment terms. Authority and Customer shall execute such Final CPC,
which shall be “deemed executed” unless Customer disputes such Final CPC in writing within
forty-five (45) days of the Authority’s transmission thereof. If Customer timely disputes the Final
CPC, then the Parties shall endeavor to resolve the dispute as expeditiously as possible in
accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 12.2; provided, however, that Customer shall
pay any undisputed amounts of Customer’s Short-Term Repayment Obligations set forth in the
Final CPC in accordance with Article V hereof.
2.3 Contingency Work Order. If unexpected costs and expenses arise during the
performance of a Project, the Authority may utilize the Project Contingency, provided that (i) the
scope modifications, if any, are consistent with the general nature of the Project; (ii) the
modifications do not render the Project ineligible under the Authority’s Energy Services Program
requirements; and (iii) the cumulative increased Project costs do not exceed the Project
Contingency. Contingency Work Orders may be utilized to account for, among other things,
remedial work required due to design or construction omissions (whether remedial work is caused
by omissions of Authority, its Service Providers or Customer) to the extent that the requirements
set forth above are met. If the requirements for a Contingency Work Order are not met, Authority
and Customer may negotiate a Change Order as described in Section 2.4 below.
As the Project Contingency is utilized, the Authority will issue a Contingency Work Order,
which shall be effective upon issuance and automatically update the terms of the respective CPC
without the need for express Customer approval. Any objections to the manner in which the
Authority is utilizing the Project Contingency must be raised by the Customer in writing to the
Authority within seven (7) days of the Authority’s issuance of any such Contingency Work Order,
or such other period of time identified in the Contingency Work Order. Failure to comply with this
notice requirement by the Customer will be deemed a waiver of any claim that (i) the Project
Contingency was used improperly; or (ii) that payment on account of such Contingency Work
Order is disputed. Upon request, the Authority will provide Customer with periodic reports that
establish an accounting of how the Project Contingency is being utilized.
2.4 Change Order. Any party to a CPC may at any time by written notice to the other
party request modifications to the Work described in the executed CPC. Authority shall provide
Customer with a written analysis of the effects of the requested modification(s) and, provided that
the requested modification(s) do not materially alter the general scope of the Project, the Parties
will negotiate a Change Order to the CPC. No Change Order shall take effect until it is approved
within the time period specified in the Change Order by Authority and by Customer in
accordance with Customer’s procedures to authorize amendments to the CPC. In the event of a
dispute over a request for a Change Order, Authority may elect to proceed with the Work in
accordance with the scope of Work as set forth in the CPC (as revised by agreed -upon Change
Orders and/or Contingency Work Orders), or the dispute may be treated under the provisions of
Section 12.1 hereof.
2.5 Unforeseen Circumstances or Conditions. In the event that circumstances or
conditions at Customer’s Facility are encountered after a CPC is executed, that may require
changes to the Project schedule and/or result in an increase to the Total Reimbursement Costs of
the Project, Authority shall as soon as practicable notify Customer. The CPC shall be revised by a
Contingency Work Order or a Change Order, as applicable, to incorporate necessary changes to
the Project schedule, the scope of Work and/or any increase in the Total Reimbursement Costs, as
a result of the existence of the unforeseen circumstance or condition. Customer shall assume any
increase in costs as part of its Short-Term Repayment Obligation.
2.6 Third Party Obligations. The Authority shall not be held responsible for any action
or failure to act of Customer, its officers, employees, agents, representatives or any Third Party,
including, but not limited to, any delay in issuance or any non-issuance of a permit or approval
necessary to perform or close out the Work under a Project. Any changes to the Project schedule
or scope of Work or any increase in the Total Reimbursement Costs caused by such act or failure
to act, shall be Customer’s responsibility. If the Third Party conduct necessitates the issuance of a
Change Order to compensate the Authority for any changes to the Project schedule, scope of Work
or Total Reimbursement Costs resulting from such act or failure to act, Authority may suspend its
Work on the Project until Customer approves such Change Order. If Customer fails to approve the
Change Order within thirty (30) days of its issuance or the Project is suspended as a result for
more than ninety (90) days, Authority, in its sole discretion, may terminate all Project Work and
issue a Final CPC as provided in Section 3.4(d) below.
2.7 Execution and Disputes Regarding Reports. The execution of a Milestone
Completion, Final Inspection, Substantial Completion and Operation Transfer Report or similar
report(s) shall not be unreasonably withheld by either Party, and the Parties shall endeavor to fully
execute such report within thirty (30) days after its submittal to Customer or it shall be deemed
executed unless it was disputed by Customer in writing within such thirty (30) day period. In the
event of any disputes by Customer with respect to such report(s), the Parties shall endeavor to
resolve such dispute as expeditiously as possible in accordance with Sec. 12.1 hereof.
2.8 Limitation on Work in Certain Premises. Absent the express written consent of
Authority, no Work of any kind shall be performed in any premises of Customer used for private

amended.
2.9 Eligibility Criteria. Projects will be undertaken on an individual basis in
Customer’s Facilities as deemed feasible and advisable by Authority and mutually agreed to by
Authority and Customer. A Project will not proceed unless it satisfies (as determined by
Authority in its sole discretion) Authority’s requirements related to reduction in overall primary
energy costs, energy conservation, results in environmental benefits and/or other requirements of
the Authority’s Energy Services Program, then in effect.
ARTICLE III
SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION OF PROJECTS
3.1 Suspension of Work.
(a) Suspension by Customer. Customer may direct Authority to suspend Work
at any Customer Facility by written notice to Authority. Authority, and the Service Providers and
Subproviders, will thereupon cease Work at that Facility as soon as practicable.
(b) Suspension by Authority. In addition to any other right by Authority to
suspend Work on a Project set forth herein, Authority may suspend Work at any Customer Facility
if any of the following occurs: (i) Customer fails to make payment to Authority when due; and
such payment default continues for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by
Authority to Customer; (ii) circumstances or conditions at Customer’s Facility are discovered after
a CPC is executed which require changes to the Project and/or result in an increase to the Project’s
Total Reimbursement Costs that cannot be covered by the use of any remaining Project
Contingency budgeted for the Project; (iii) a Third Party’s act or failure to act causes a delay to the
critical path of the Project schedule that continues for a period of thirty (30) days after written
notice thereof by Authority to Customer; (iv) a delay caused by a Force Majeure Event continues
for a period of sixty (60) consecutive days; (v) the existence of a hazard not caused by Authority
or its Service Provider(s) that threatens the safety and protection of the site, its inhabitants or the
public; or (vi) the existence of an unforeseen circumstance or condition the correction of which
could reasonably be expected to (A) create an unreasonable non-economic risk for Authority or
Service Provider not ordinarily associated with projects of similar size and scope (as determined
by Authority in its reasonable discretion); (B) create a threat to life or safety of the inhabitants or
the public in general, or (C) violate applicable federal, state or local laws, regulations, codes or
standards.
(c) Liability for Cost Increase as Result of Suspension. The suspension of
Work by either Party pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.1 may adversely impact the
Project schedule, the scope of Work and/or the Total Reimbursement Costs. The CPC may be
revised by a Contingency Work Order or Change Order, as applicable, to incorporate any
necessary changes. Customer shall assume any increase in the Total Reimbursement Costs in full
as part of its Short-Term Repayment Obligation caused by a Suspension by Customer.
(d) Resumption of Work After Suspension. In the event Work on a Project was
suspended by a Party (whether pursuant to this Section 3.1 or otherwise), Authority and Customer
have to agree in writing that Work shall resume before any Work on the Project can continue. In
the event Work is suspended for more than ninety (90) days, Authority, in its sole reasonable
discretion, may terminate Work for that Project and Authority shall issue a Final CPC as provided
in Section 3.4(d) below.
3.2 Emergency. If an emergency results in or could reasonably be expected to result in
personal injury or loss of life or damage or harm to property or public safety, Customer, acting in
good faith in order to prevent, avoid or mitigate personal injury or loss of life or damage or harm
to property or public safety may direct a Service Provider to suspend Work. Customer shall
provide written notification to Authority of the suspension and events leading up to the
suspension within eight (8) hours after the emergency has been stabilized. Sections 3.1(c) and (d)
shall also be applicable to a suspension under this Section 3.2.
3.3 Termination of a Project. Authority may for good cause shown terminate a Project
(and the related CPC)
at any time upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Customer. In addition, the following
incidents shall be deemed to immediately terminate a Project: (i) closure, abandonment,
destruction or material damage to the Facility for which Project Work is being performed; (ii)
reduction or elimination of energy savings or other modification to the Project that, in the
Authority’s opinion, renders the Project ineligible under the Authority’s requirements for
inclusion in its Energy Services Program, whether due to removal, by-passing or alteration of
equipment or due to any unforeseen event; (iii) discovery of asbestos or other hazardous material
in Customer’s Facility that impedes the execution of the Work; and (iv) failure by Customer to
make payment to Authority when due and such payment default continues for a period of thirty
(30) days after written notice thereof by Authority to Customer.
3.4 Actions Upon Project Termination or Cancellation. In the event that a Project is
canceled or terminated in whole or in part subsequent to execution of a CPC but prior to
completion of such Project, Authority shall:
(a) Discontinue or direct Service Provider(s) to discontinue all Work and the
placement of all orders for materials, equipment or labor otherwise required for the Project or
terminated part of the Project, as applicable;
(b) Cancel or direct Service Provider to cancel all existing orders and
subcontracts related to performance of the Project or terminated part of the Project, as applicable;
(c) Take actions reasonably necessary, or as directed by Customer in writing,
for the protection and preservation of the Work and all Project-related equipment, materials and
property within Authority’s or Service Provider’s possession and control; and
(d) Issue a Final CPC covering (i) that portion of the Total Reimbursement Cost
(excluding the Authority Program Fee) actually and reasonably incurred by Authority at or prior to
such termination/cancellation both for the performed and for the terminated portion(s) of the Work
(including, but not limited to, non-cancelable material and equipment not yet incorporated into the
Work); (ii) the costs for any additional services performed by Authority or Service Provider
pursuant to 3.4(c) hereof; (iii) any reasonable wind-down costs incurred by Authority and its
Service Providers and Subproviders as a result of the termination/cancellation, along with Service
Providers’ and Subproviders’ reasonable and customary overhead on the Work not executed; and
(iv) the Authority Program Fee. The Authority Program Fee for a Project that is terminated or
canceled prior to completion shall be as set forth in the Compensation Schedule, unless otherwise
agreed upon by the Parties in the CPC.
ARTICLE IV
ENVIRONMENTAL PROVISIONS
4.1 Hazardous Materials and Disposal of Waste and Debris.
(a) General Responsibilities. With respect to Authority Implemented Work,
Authority shall require that Service Provider and/or Subprovider (as applicable) be responsible
for environmental air monitoring and thoroughly cleaning the job site, including the removal of
Waste and Debris generated as a result of a Project. Such removal may involve the management,
transportation and disposal of Waste and Debris. If in the course of performing the scope of the
Project Work as described in the CPC for any Authority Implemented Work, Authority
encounters existing Hazardous Materials, including but not limited to Waste, any such materials
shall be handled, transported and disposed of in accordance with applicable local, state and
federal laws and regulations, as well as Authority’s policies and procedures.
(b) Customer is Generator of Waste. The Customer acknowledges that, in
accordance with USEPA and NYS DEC regulations, it is, and remains the Generator of, and holds
title to, any Waste encountered during Work performed pursuant to this Master Agreement. If the
Customer holds a Hazardous Waste “Generator Identification Number” for the specific site where
work is being performed (as defined in Section 3010 of Subtitle C of RCRA), that number will be
utilized for any and all hazardous waste disposal. If a Hazardous Waste “Generator Identification
Number” does not exist, one may need to be obtained from the USEPA for each site from which
Authority removes Waste. The Customer authorizes Authority, where required by USEPA and/or
NYS DEC regulations, to apply in the name of the Customer for Hazardous Waste Generator
Identification Numbers in order to dispose of Waste pursuant to this Master Agreement and to
act as the contact Party for such applications. To the extent that the Customer is the generator of
the Waste, a duly authorized representative of the Customer must sign such applications when
requested by Authority. The Customer also authorizes Authority, where required by USEPA
and/or NYS DEC regulations, to prepare, in the name of the Customer, any manifests or other
forms required for the disposal of the Waste generated pursuant to activities under this Master
Agreement. A duly authorized representative of the Customer shall sign any manifests or other
shipping records required to ship Waste offsite for disposal.
(c) Notification and Cost of Waste Disposal. With respect to Authority
Implemented Work, Authority shall advise Customer (whenever possible, in advance of removal)
where material determined to be Waste has been encountered which must be disposed of pursuant
to USEPA and NYS DEC regulations. Authority shall keep the Customer fully informed of
Authority’s activities on its behalf and shall provide the Customer with copies of all applications
and other materials provided or received in connection with actions taken pursuant to this
authorization. The direct costs of Waste disposal will be included in the Final CPC. Any costs to
Authority relating to the Project that may arise subsequent to the time the Final CPC is executed
(or deemed executed) under present or future laws or regulations due to pollution, clean-up or
otherwise at the site of disposal shall be borne by the Customer. If, however, such costs are due to
the negligence or willful acts of Authority’s Service Provider or Subprovider or due to the willful
acts of Authority, the Customer shall not be responsible. With respect to Authority Implemented
Work, Authority shall use reasonable diligence in overseeing the removal and disposal of Waste,
shall maintain complete and accurate records thereof, and shall make those records available to
the Customer upon request. In addition, any existing equipment determined by the Customer to
be useful to the Customer may, at the Customer’s request, be retained by the Customer and shall
be the sole responsibility of the Customer.
(d) Customer Disposal of Waste. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Customer
shall have the option of disposing of Waste and Debris generated as a result of a Project at its
own expense in accordance with all applicable local, state and federal laws and regulation s, as
well as Authority’s policies and procedures.
4.2 Remediation. The Customer shall be responsible for the performance of any
Remediation required under applicable local, state and federal Environmental Laws in order to
address the existence or suspected existence of Hazardous Substances in, on, or under the job site
that are discovered or encountered during Work performed and any Release or threatened Release
in, on, under, over or migrating to, from or through the job site. The Customer shall promptly take
all actions as are necessary to perform Remediation of any such Release or Discovery, and such
other work as may be required by any Governmental Authority to safeguard the health, safety or
welfare of any persons, the land and any improvements thereon or there under, from any Release
or threatened Release or Discovery. In the case any Remediation is required, the Customer shall be
responsible for restoring the affected portion or portions of the job site, together with any and all
affected soil and groundwater, to the functional and topographical condition that existed prior to
the Release and Remediation, as well as to the condition required by Environmental Laws, and as
necessary to satisfy the requirements of any Governmental Authority exercising jurisdiction with
respect to the job site for such Release or Discovery.

4.3 Environmental Indemnification. Customer shall be solely responsible for any and
all loss, damage or injury to persons or property and for any cleanup costs associated with any
site where Waste and Debris are disposed of or comes to be situated including, but not limited to,
response and remedial costs. In addition, to the extent permitted by law, the Customer shall, at its
sole cost and expense, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Authority and the State of New York
against any loss, liability (including, without limitation, judgments, attorney’s fees, court costs,
penalties or fines), or expenses of any type (including, but not limited to, required corrective
actions) which Authority or the State of New York incurs because of injury to, or death of any
person, or on account of damage to property, or any other claim arising out of, in connection
with, or as a consequence of (a) the disposition or use of retained equipment by the Customer or
anyone for whose acts the Customer may be liable, and (b) any cleanup costs associated with any
site where Waste and Debris are disposed of or come to be situated traceable to such Waste and
Debris including, but not limited to, response and remedial costs.
ARTICLE V
RECOVERY OF COSTS/REPAYMENT OBLIGATION
5.1 Project Cost. Authority shall initially pay for and/or incur costs for all components
of the Total Reimbursement Costs applicable to a Project at the selected Customer Facility.
Customer agrees to pay the Authority the Total Reimbursement Costs specified in the respective
CPC as reconciled by the Final CPC.
5.2 Total Reimbursement Costs. The following components of the Total
Reimbursement Costs may be delineated in a CPC for a particular Project:
(a) Material Cost. The Material Cost represents the cost of materials,
equipment, fixtures, tools, construction equipment and machinery, water, heat, utilities,
transportation and other facilities necessary for the proper execution and completion of the Work,
whether temporary or permanent and whether or not incorporated or to be incorporated into the
Work.
(b) Labor Cost. The Labor Cost represents (i) the sum of all wages paid to
skilled trade and craft workers, plus employee benefits, payroll taxes, insurance and related costs;
or (ii) the fees paid to skilled trade and craft workers that are not employees, in each case as
represented on the Service Providers’ or Subproviders’ invoice.
(c) Project Contingency. The Project Contingency, or a portion thereof,
actually applied by the Authority to the Project as set forth in a Contingency Work Order.
(d) Service Provider Fees. The Service Provider Fees represent the costs
associated with the payment of Service Providers, Subproviders and other third party
professionals based on actual invoices, individual billing rates based on hourly increments, or a
percentage fee applied to certain Project costs, plus reimbursable expenses;
(e) Authority Program Fee. The Authority Program Fee reimburses Authority
for services provided by Authority during the implementation of a Project. The Authority Program
Fee can be based on a percentage fee applied to certain Project costs, a lump sum fee, individual
billing rates based on hourly increments and/or other fee arrangements identified in the
Compensation Schedule.
(f) Short-Term Interest. Short-Term Interest reimburses the Authority for
costs incurred in connection with financing the delivery of a Project. It is based on the underlying
source of funds chosen by the Authority, in its sole discretion, to finance a Project during its
implementation and may vary depending upon the actual financing product the Authority selects.
In addition to the actual interest expense incurred by the Authority on the s hort-term debt issued
for Project expenses, Short-Term Interest may include additional fees for administering the
financing program including but not limited to costs incurred to secure liquidity facilities,
remarketing services, purchase of an interest rate cap(s), issuing and payment agents and other
financing related costs and credit premiums, if any.
(g) Other Project-Related Costs. Other Project-related costs may include
Authority Material Handling Fee, Waste disposal costs, additional Project-specific insurance,
surety bond costs, specialty services and other Project-specific costs not otherwise included in
any of the above categories.
5.3 Billing. The specific billing method for each Project is set forth in the CPC and/or
the long-term financing agreement associated with the particular Project. The final repayment
amount due to the Authority will be the Total Reimbursement Costs as reconciled in a Final CPC
to reflect adjustments to account for payments made or additional charges incurred by Customer
and will constitute the Customer’s Short-Term Repayment Obligation. In the event a Project is
terminated before completion, Authority shall issue a Final CPC as provided in Section 3.4(d).
5.4 Payment.
(a) Payments. Customer shall pay any invoiced amounts to Authority within
thirty (30) days of Customer’s receipt of Authority’s invoice. Any outstanding amounts not paid
within such thirty (30) day period shall accrue additional Short-Term Interest until the date when
payment is made in full. Such additional Short-Term Interest will be reflected on subsequent
invoices and/or the Final CPC.
(b) Late Payment. Customer’s final Short-Term Repayment Obligation shall
be fully repaid on or before the Short-Term Repayment Obligation Maturity Date. Any amount
due and unpaid on the Short-Term Repayment Obligation Maturity Date shall be subject to
interest in accordance with the late payment rate set forth in State Finance Law §179(g).
5.5 Grants and Funding. Authority may pursue and apply for grants or other available
funding for the respective Project, where applicable, when authorized by Customer. The Customer
may assign the right to receive such grants or other available funding to the Authority, and the
Authority may, at its sole discretion, accept such assignment. If Authority accepts such assignment,
the Authority will apply the funds to reduce the Total Reimbursement Costs, provided the funds are
actually received by the Authority by the Short Term Repayment Obligation Maturity Date.
5.6 Long-Term Financing for Capital Projects. Should Customer desire financing to
satisfy its Short Term Repayment Obligation for a Capital Project, the Customer may apply for
long-term financing through the financing products offered by the Authority to convert Customer’s
Short-Term Repayment Obligation to a Long-Term Repayment Obligation. The Authority at its
sole discretion may make a long-term financing option available to the Customer. This is a fixed
rate long-term financing product provided by the Authority in collaboration with a third-party.
General parameters include:
• Rates will be based on a fixed rate (Authority borrowing rate or equivalent) adjusted for
customer’s credit, term of agreement or other factors as appropriate;
• Available for the period after project acceptance and closing; and
• Funding is contingent on the execution of appropriate financing documentation containing
customary terms and conditions including representations, warranties, covenants, legal
opinions and other conditions precedent.
The Authority will endeavor to provide options for the Customer to make financing payments as
a monthly billing surcharge to the Customer’s electrical supply bill under the then-effective
power supply agreement between the Customer and Authority (it being understood if a Customer
is not served by the Authority, such monthly billing will not be a surcharge but rather a separate
invoice for the repayment amount due).
The Authority from time to time may modify its financing offer and/or develop/offer new Project
or program financing mechanisms to Customers. Details on future financing products will be
provided and agreed on a Project- or program-specific basis either through a separate document
or amendment to this agreement.
Regardless of whether the Customer elects to utilize any of the Authority’s available financing
products, the Customer is responsible for satisfying its Short Term Repayment Obligation within
the time constraints set forth herein.
If the Customer elects to apply for Long Term Financing, it shall submit a loan application a
minimum of 90-days prior to anticipated Final CPC execution. If Customer’s application for
longterm financing is approved by the Authority, the Parties’ obligations with respect to such
financing will be set out in an amendment to this agreement, the CPC, or as a separate agreement,
with terms and conditions agreed to by the Parties.
ARTICLE VI
INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
Authority’s agreements with the Service Providers shall provide that the Service Provider
or Subproviders shall obtain and maintain the policies of insurance with the identified limits set
forth in Section 6.1, unless additional policies of insurance and/or higher limits are required under
the applicable CPC. The costs of such insurance will be part of the Total Reimbursement Costs.
6.1 Insurance Requirements:
(a) Workers’ Compensation (inclusive of New York State disability benefits)
and Employer’s Liability coverage;
(b) Commercial General Liability insurance policy, including Contractual
Liability and Products/Completed Operations Liability coverages, with limits of not less than
$2,000,000 per occurrence for bodily injury and not less than $2,000,000 for property damage,
such policies naming Authority, Customer and the State of New York as additional insureds
under the policy;
(c) Automobile Liability coverage with a minimum limit of $1,000,000 per
accident; and
(d) if required under the applicable CPC:
(i) Pollution Liability, including coverage for asbestos abatement, with
minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence;
(ii) Professional Liability insurance with a minimum limit of
$1,000,000; and
(iii) Builder’s risk insurance in the amount of the estimated Total
Reimbursement Cost to be issued on a replacement cost basis without optional deductibles and
will include the interests of Customer, Authority, and the Service Providers. Such insurance shall
be maintained until final payment has been made by Customer to Authority.
6.2 Adjustments. The types of insurances required and/or policy limits listed in
Sections 6.1 above may be adjusted as Customer and Authority deem appropriate in connection
with a specific CPC. The form and sufficiency of each insurance policy required to be obtained
hereunder by the Service Provider or Subprovider shall be subject to approval by Authority.
Authority shall hold all Certificates of Insurance submitted to the Authority by its Service Providers
and Subproviders with respect to any Project implemented under this Master Agreement.
6.3 Customer Insurance Requirements. With specific regard to the ESP equipment, for
so long as any portion of Customer’s Short-Term or Long-Term Repayment Obligation, as
applicable, remains unpaid, Customer shall procure an all risk policy of insurance which will
insure the equipment for full replacement cost value against loss while the equipment is in
Customer’s care, custody and control. The insurance policy shall name Authority and the State of
New York as additional insured and loss payees, and shall contain a full waiver of subrogation
against Authority, its agents, Service Providers, Subproviders and the State of New York.
Customer shall also procure a Commercial General Liability insurance policy with minimum
limits of $5,000,000 per occurrence for bodily injury and property damage naming Authority and
the State of New York as additional insured. In lieu of obtaining all risk and commercial general
liability insurance, Customer may request in writing to Authority to self-insure against risk of
loss. Authority may approve or deny such request in its sole discreti on. Customer agrees to
provide any relevant documents or information requested by Authority in order for Authority to
make the determination that Customer has sufficient resources to self-insure. The decision to self-
insure will not relieve Customer of any of the obligations imposed herein and shall afford
Authority the protection against loss and rights it would have received, if Customer had obtained
such policies of insurance.
ARTICLE VII
WARRANTIES, DAMAGES, LIABILITY, ETC.
7.1 Service Provider’s Warranty Requirements. Authority’s agreements with its
Service Providers shall provide that all Work performed will be in workmanlike manner and any
materials provided by the Service Providers under the agreements shall be free from any defects.
Such agreements shall further provide that any defective Work or materials identified within one
(l) year after (i) execution (or deemed execution) by the Parties of a Substantial Completion and
Operation Transfer Report or (ii) if no such report must be signed, completion of the Project,
shall be promptly corrected, repaired, replaced, re-performed or otherwise remedied by the
Service Provider and/or Subprovider(s) at no additional expense to Customer. Authority’s
agreements with Service Providers shall also provide that any manufacturers’ warranties for
equipment installed at Customer’s Facilities be assigned to Customer.
Authority shall have no obligation to assist Customer with any warranty claims against a
Service Provider or equipment manufacturer. Customer shall coordinate any warranty claims
directly with the respective Service Provider or equipment manufacturer.
7.2 Authority Warranty Disclaimer. THE WARRANTY PROVIDED BY SERVICE
PROVIDER AND THE ASSIGNED WARRANTIES OF THE EQUIPMENT
MANUFACTURERS ARE EXPRESSLY IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES.
AUTHORITY EXPRESSLY EXCLUDES ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR
IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, DESCRIPTION OR QUALITY NOT EXPRESSLY SET FORTH
HEREIN, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. NO AFFIRMATION OF AUTHORITY,
BY WORDS OR ACTION, SHALL CONSTITUTE A WARRANTY. DESCRIPTIONS,
SPECIFICATIONS, DRAWINGS, AND OTHER PARTICULARS FURNISHED TO
CUSTOMER ARE ONLY ESTIMATES AND DO NOT CREATE A WARRANTY.
7.3 Projected Energy Savings. Authority and its Service Providers shall use their best
efforts to prepare accurate engineering estimates. After energy efficiency Work is completed in
Customer’s Facility, it is the intent and expectation of the Parties that Customer’s annual energy
usage for that Facility shall not increase above the pre-installation level except due to changes in
rates or increases in usage not related to the implementation of the ESP Work. Customer is
responsible for providing Authority with accurate information concerning the operation of its
Facility. Customer understands that the projected energy savings are based upon such Customer
input. It is Customer’s sole responsibility to ensure that the expected energy savings meet
Customer’s satisfaction at the time the CPC for a Project is executed.
AUTHORITY HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL LIABILITY FOR ANY
ENERGY SAVINGS PROJECTED BY AUTHORITY OR OTHERWISE EXPECTED BY
CUSTOMER THAT CANNOT BE ACHIEVED.
7.4 Uncontrollable Forces. Authority shall not be responsible for delays or failures in
performance resulting from occurrences beyond its reasonable control including, but not limited
to, acts of God, strikes, walkouts, acts of war, or any law, regulation, or action of any court or
governmental authority, fire, malfunctions in communication lines or computer hardware, power
failures, shipping or delivery delays or other events caused by those not party to this Master
Agreement (including, without limitation, any Third Parties, and any Service Providers or
Subproviders of Authority). In the event Authority or the Service Providers or Subproviders are
unable to fulfill any obligations hereunder by reason of such uncontrollable forces, Customer will
be notified in writing and the completion dates described in the CPC will be extended by the
amount of additional time reasonably necessary to complete the Work. If necessary, Authority
will issue a Contingency Work Order or a Change Order, as applicable.
7.5 Damages, Indemnification by Service Provider.
(a) Damages. Authority’s agreements with the Service Providers shall include
a provision that all damage of whatever nature resulting from the performance of the Work or
resulting to the Work during its progress, from whatever cause shall be borne by the Service
Provider, and all Work performed shall be solely at the Service Provider’s risk until the Work has
been finally inspected and accepted by Authority. The Service Provider, however, shall not be
responsible for damages resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct of officials or
employees of Authority or Customer.
(b) Indemnification. Authority’s agreements with the Service Providers will
include a provision that to the extent permitted by law, the Service Provider shall assume the
entire responsibility and liability for and defense of, and pay and indemnify, Authority, Customer,
and the State of New York (where a Project undertaken for Customer is located on property of
New York State), against any loss, damage, expense or liability and will hold each of them
harmless from and pay any loss, damage, cost or expense (including without limitation,
judgments, attorney’s fees, and court costs) which Authority, Customer or the State of New York
incur because of injury to or death of any person or on account of damage to property, or any
claim arising out of, in connection with, or as a consequence of, the performance of the Work
and/or any act or omission of the Service Provider or any of its Subproviders, employees, agents
or anyone directly or indirectly employed by the Service Provider or anyone for whose acts the
Service Provider may be liable.
7.6 Limitation of Authority’s Liability.
(a) Obligation to Exhaust Remedies against Service Provider. In the event of
any alleged Authority liability to Customer, Customer shall first pursue and exhaust all remedies
in law against the Service Providers and Subproviders and under the insurance identified in
Article VI above and carried by the Service Providers and Subproviders before making any claim
or taking any action against Authority.
(b) Exclusion of Indirect, Incidental, Consequential Damages. To the fullest
extent permitted by law, Authority shall not be liable to Customer, for any indirect, special,
incidental, or consequential damages of any kind (including without limitation, any loss of
property or equipment, loss of profits or revenue, loss of use of equipment or power systems, cost
of capital, cost of purchased or replacement power or temporary equipment, including additional
expenses incurred in using existing facilities) related to or arising in connection with this Master
Agreement or any other Transaction Document executed in connection herewith, regardless of the
form of action (whether in contract, tort or otherwise), even if Authority has been advised of the
possibility of such damages.
(c) Total Liability Cap. The Parties agree that in no event shall Authority’s
total liability (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) for all claims relating to a Project exceed the
Total Reimbursement Costs for such Project set forth in the respective CPC.
(d) No Limitation of Service Provider/Subprovider Liability. Nothing in this
Section 7.6 shall be construed as limiting the liability of a Service Provider or Subprovider to
Authority or Customer in connection with the performance of such Service Provider’s or
Subprovider’s Work on Customer’s premises.
(e) Customer agrees that in no case will it seek to enforce its claims for any
remedy under this Master Agreement by withholding payments due under any other agreements
with the Authority, or its assignees, including but not limited to any amendment to this Master
Agreement, a CPC, or separate financing agreement to satisfy the Customer’s Short- or Long-
Term Repayment Obligation.
7.7 Customer’s Responsibility for Project Equipment and Performed Work. Upon
delivery at Customer’s Facility, Customer shall be responsible for all damage to all Project
materials, supplies and equipment of every description and all Work performed at Customer’s site
unless such damages are caused by Authority or its Service Providers or Subproviders.
ARTICLE VIII
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
8.1 Intellectual Property; Proprietary Information.
(a) Intellectual Property Rights. Neither Party shall acquire, directly or by
implication, any ownership of any Background Intellectual Property Rights of the other Party.
Each Party shall retain title to any Intellectual Property Rights developed, authored, conceived or
reduced to practice independently and solely by that Party during the performance of this Master
Agreement without the other Party’s Background Intellectual Property Rights. Notwithstanding
any of the foregoing, it is agreed by the Parties that Authority shall be the sole owner of all
Intellectual Property Rights related to any Project which is jointly developed, invented or
otherwise generated during the performance of this Master Agreement or any Transaction
Document.
(b) Work Product; Proprietary Information. Unless and until Customer has
repaid its Short-Term or Long-Term Repayment Obligation, as applicable, the Facility data,
evaluations, design and other information produced by Authority or its Service Providers in
connection with a Project shall be the property of Authority. Customer shall have the right to use
any such proprietary information for the maintenance of Project installations in its Facilities. Upon
payment in full by Customer, such information shall become the property of Customer. Any
information identified as confidential which is exchanged by Authority and Customer shall be duly
protected by the recipient to the extent permitted by law. It is understood that the Public Officers
Law and other statutes and regulations regarding Freedom of Information may require the
disclosure of information in certain situations.

GENERAL OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES
10.1 Authorized Representatives.
(a) Customer’s Authorized Representative. For each Project, Customer shall
designate a Customer’s Authorized Representative and shall inform Authority in writing
accordingly. If Customer desires to change its Customer Authorized Representative, it must
notify Authority in writing (in accordance with notice requirements set forth herein) at least five
(5) business days prior to such change. Customer’s Authorized Representative shall coordinate
the Project on behalf of Customer and assist Authority and the Service Providers and

Reimbursement Costs incurred during the audit, if such costs were deferred and rolled over). Customer
may request payment deferral if Customer approves Authority to proceed to the next milestone or the
next Project phase. With Authority’s approval, Customer’s Short-Term Repayment Obligation will be
deferred and rolled into the next milestone invoice, or at design completion, become part of the Total
Reimbursement Costs of the CPC for the next Project phase.

Dear Mr. Seeley:
The New York Power Authority (NYPA) is excited to support the Town of Irondequoit in identifying

widely used and effective strategy to achieve the goal of reducing energy consumption, lowering
utility costs, and improving light quality throughout the community.
Consistent with the Master Cost Recovery Agreement, NYPA provides a turn-key solution to
upgrade the Town of Irondequoit’s existing street lights to energy efficient LED technology. NYPA is
pleased to offer these services to replace approximately 2,121 existing street light fixtures with new
high efficient LED technology.
By signing below, the Town of Irondequoit authorizes NYPA to proceed with the full turn-key solution
of the LED streetlighting project, which can include the final design report, conducting bids for
materials and installation labor, providing construction management, and the commission the final
project.
When the design and bidding are completed, you will receive an Initial Customer Project
Commitment (ICPC) for your review and signature. At this point, if you choose to proceed to project
implementation all development costs will be rolled into the overall project. Conversely, should you
decide not to proceed with the implementation of the project, the Town of Irondequoit agrees to
reimburse NYPA for all costs incurred up to the termination date for the development, design and
bidding of the project.
The cost of developing the design and for bidding the materials and labor will be determined during
the next phase. NYPA will be fully transparent through this process and provide complete
documentation as to how it determined all project costs.
By signing below, affirm that you agree to these conditions:
