attracting and developing economically sound commerce and industry to advance the job
opportunities, health, general prosperity and economic welfare of the people of the State of New
York (the “State”), to improve their prosperity and standard of living, and to prevent

WHEREAS, pursuant to a resolution of the Agency duly adopted on February 7, 2017, the
Agency appointed the firm of O’Brien & Gere (which firm subsequently merged into Ramboll, is
now known as Ramboll and is hereinafter referred to as the “Engineer”) to facilitate engineering
studies necessary in connection with development of the Park; and
WHEREAS, the Agency and the Engineer entered into that certain professional services
agreement on March 20, 2017 (the “Original Agreement”) to memorialize the terms of the
engineering studies the Engineer would provide the Agency in connection with development of

WHEREAS, in order to further support the continued development of the Park, pursuant
to resolution of the Agency adopted on November 8, 2022, the Agency authorized the Engineer to
procure, select, coordinate and oversee subcontract(s) for survey and topographic work at the Park,
within the scope of the Service Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Engineer procured two bids and selected Thew Associates PE-LS, PLLC
(“Thew Associates”) as a subcontractor, with the Engineer coordinating and overseeing Thew
Associates, for survey and topographic work at the Park (the “Survey/Topographic Work”), within
the scope of the Service Agreement; and

25740914.1
WHEREAS, the assumption of the Thew Contract would be an exception to the general
methods of procurement under the Agency’s Procurement Policy as it is a sole source of a
good/service contract, however such exception would be permitted under the Agency’s
Procurement Policy because Thew Associates has substantial prior experience relative to the
Survey/Topographic Work as it has been undertaking such work pursuant to the Service
Agreement and it is an issue of timeliness and cost effectiveness to have Thew Associates complete
the work that Thew Associates is already in the process of undertaking;

COUNTY INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AGENCY AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The Agency hereby approves the assumption of the Thew Contract.
