Operations. The Trust has deposited a sum equal to $DDD,DDD.cc (the

Draft 3 Parking Garage Management and Operating Agreement
Trust, without waiving or limiting any of its legal remedies
(including the right to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees
and any other expenses incurred, but excluding lost

Trust detailing the amount of the expenditure and the

unreimbursed amount shall bear interest at the rate of
twelve percent (12%) per annum from such thirtieth

Operator.

aggregators, marketing firms, or websites that the Trust has directly
contracted with (e.g., ParkWhiz, Inc., Parking Panda Corporation,
Spot Hero, etc.), but excluding revenue received through third party
parking aggregators contracted through Operator; and
Hudson River Park Trust Page 13 January 6, 2020

7.3.2. All parking revenues generated from parking agreements initiated
or caused to enter into by the Trust (e.g., OSHA, Department of
Labor, Homeland Security, Hornblower Cruises, and any other
group accounts as may be added by The Trust) rather than the
Operator. Group parking accounts initiated or caused to be created
by the Operator, and other parking revenue generated through the
website or other marketing efforts of the Operator, shall not be
excluded from the IMF calculation.
7.4. The IMF shall be based upon an established monetary increase over the

on the day/time of call and a minimum of four

I. General Provisions
A. The Hudson River Park Trust (“Trust”) is required to implement the provisions
of New York State Executive Law Article 15-A and Parts 140-145 of Title 5 of
the New York Codes, Rules and Regulations (“NYCRR”) for all State contracts,
as defined therein, with a value (1) in excess of $25,000 for labor, services,
equipment, materials, or any combination of the foregoing or (2) in excess of
$100,000 for real property renovations and construction.
B. The operator or contractor/consultant to the subject contract (the “Contractor”
and the “Contract,” respectively) agrees, in addition to any other
nondiscrimination provision of the Agreement and at no additional cost to the
Trust, to fully comply and cooperate with the Trust in the implementation of
New York State Executive Law Article 15-A and the regulations promulgated
thereunder. These requirements include equal employment opportunities for
minority group members and women (“EEO”) and contracting opportunities for
New York State-certified minority and women-owned business enterprises
(“MWBEs”). The Contractor’s demonstration of “good faith efforts” pursuant
to 5 NYCRR § 142.8 shall be a part of these requirements. These provisions
shall be deemed supplementary to, and not in lieu of, the nondiscrimination
provisions required by New York State Executive Law Article 15 (the “Human
Rights Law”) and other applicable federal, state, and local laws.
C. Failure to comply with all of the requirements herein may result in a finding of
non-responsiveness, non-responsibility and/or a breach of contract, leading to
the assessment of liquidated damages and such other remedies are available
to the Trust pursuant to the Agreement and applicable law.
II. Contract Goals
A. For purposes of this Agreement, the Trust hereby establishes an overall goal
of 30 percent for MWBE participation, XX percent for New York State-certified

participation (collectively, “MWBE Contract Goals”) based on the current
availability of MBEs and WBEs.

of a commercially useful function, as that term is defined in 5 NYCRR § 140.1,
may be applied towards the achievement of the applicable MWBE participation

be deemed to represent the commercially useful function performed by the
MWBE shall be twenty five percent (25%) of the total value of the contract.
D. The Contractor must document “good faith efforts,” pursuant to 5 NYCRR §
142.8, to provide meaningful participation by MWBEs as subcontractors and
suppliers in the performance of the Contract. Such documentation shall
include, but not necessarily be limited to:

Exhibit O
SDVOB Requirements
PARTICIPATION OPPORTUNITIES FOR NEW YORK STATE CERTIFIED
SERVICE-DISABLED VETERAN OWNED BUSINESSES
Article 17-B of the New York State Executive Law provides for more
meaningful participation in public procurement by certified Service-
Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses (“SDVOB”) thereby further
integrating such businesses into New York State’s economy. The Trust
recognizes the need to promote the employment of service-disabled
veterans and to ensure that certified service-disabled veteran-owned
businesses have opportunities for maximum feasible participation in the
performance of the Trust contracts.
In recognition of the service and sacrifices made by service-disabled
veterans and in recognition of their economic activity in doing business in
New York State, proposers are expected to consider SDVOBs in the
fulfillment of the requirements of the Contract. Such participation may be
as subcontractors or suppliers, as protégés, or in other partnering or
supporting roles.
I. Contract Goals
A. The Trust hereby establishes an overall goal of 6% for SDVOB
participation, based on the current availability of qualified SDVOBs.
For purposes of providing meaningful participation by SDVOBs, the
Operator should reference the directory of New York State Certified
SDVOBs found at: http://ogs.ny.gov/Core/SDVOBA.asp. Additionally,
following contract execution, Operator is encouraged to contact the
Office of General Services’ Division of Service-Disabled Veterans’
Business Development at 518-474-2015 or
[email protected] to discuss additional methods of
maximizing participation by SDVOBs on the Agreement.
B. Operator must document “good faith efforts” to provide meaningful
participation by SDVOBs as contractors or suppliers in the performance
of the Agreement (see clause IV below).
II. Subcontractor Utilization Plan (SDVOB)
A. The Subcontractor Utilization Plan shall list the SDVOBs that the
Operator intends to use to perform the contract services, a description
of the work that the Operator intends the SDVOB to perform to meet
the goals in the Agreement, the estimated dollar amounts to be paid to
an SDVOB, or, if not known, an estimate of the percentage of contract
work the SDVOB will perform. By signing the Subcontractor Utilization
Plan, the Operator acknowledges that making false representations or
providing information that shows a lack of good faith as part of, or in
conjunction with, the submission of a Subcontractor Utilization Plan is
prohibited by law and may result in penalties including, but not limited
to, termination of a contract for cause, loss of eligibility to submit
future bids, and/or withholding of payments. Any modifications or
changes to the agreed participation by SDVOBs after the contract
award and during the term of the Agreement must be reported on a
revised Subcontractor Utilization Plan and submitted to the Trust.
B. The Trust will review the submitted Subcontractor Utilization Plan and
advise Operator of the Trust’s acceptance or issue a notice of
deficiency within twenty (20) days of receipt.
C. If a notice of deficiency is issued, Operator agrees that it shall respond
to the notice of deficiency, within seven (7) business days of receipt,
by submitting to the Trust a written remedy in response to the notice
of deficiency. If the written remedy that is submitted is not timely or
is found by the Trust to be inadequate, the Trust shall notify Operator
and direct Operator to submit, within five business days of notification
by the Trust, additional information to cure the noted deficiency.
Failure to file the waiver form in a timely manner may be grounds for
disqualification of the bid or proposal.
D. Operator agrees that a failure to use SDVOBs as agreed in the
Subcontractor Utilization Plan shall constitute a material breach of the
terms of the Agreement. Upon the occurrence of such a material
breach, the Trust shall be entitled to any remedy provided herein.
III. Request for Waiver
A. Prior to submission of a request for a partial or total waiver, Operator
shall speak to the Designated Contacts at the Trust for guidance.

submit a request for a partial or total waiver, accompanied by
supporting documentation.
C. Operator shall attempt to utilize, in good faith, the SDVOBs identified
within its Subcontractor Utilization Plan, during the performance of the
Agreement. Requests for a partial or total waiver of established goal
requirements made subsequent to contract award may be made at any
time during the term of the Agreement to the Trust, but must be made
no later than prior to the submission of a request for final payment on
the Agreement. Waiver requests should be sent to the Trust.
IV. Required Good Faith Efforts
In accordance with 9 NYCRR § 252.2(n), contractors must document their
good faith efforts toward utilizing SDVOBs on the Contract. Evidence of
