Executive Summary
The County is in the enviable position of being able to position itself as leader in the State.
Through the enhancement of facilities, the County will improve the quality of life for the staff
and the taxpayers while extending the life span of its buildings with no impact to the taxpayers.
Through this project, the County will unlock capital to upgrade the Kiernan building, the Ned
Pattison Office Building, and the Agricultural Life Sciences Building, while enabling the County
to purchase the Kiernan building.
The County will fund this project by not renewing the leased space at Flanagan Square and
strategically moving staff and services to these other buildings. The savings from cancelling this
lease is more than $1,100,000 per year with additional savings of greater than $40,000 per year
in transportation and other costs.
Under the Article 9 process, this project supports maximizing energy reductions, improving life
quality through implementing O2Prime for remediation and air quality. The project will also
provide workspace improvements for County staff and support the taxpayer’s ability to
conveniently access services.
County of Rensselaer, 99 Troy Rd Facility Improvement Measures
Preliminary Energy and Operational Audit Page 4 Siemens Industry, Inc.
Overview
Constructed around 1989’s, the four-story facility that is predominantly office space, is located
at 99 Troy Rd, East Greenbush, NY, 12061. The facility has a total area of 62,850 square feet and
has office areas, conference rooms, break areas, hallways, mechanical spaces, and storage. The
ground level houses mechanical spaces, storage, and a loading dock. The building has steel
structure framing with a built-up flat roof, rigid insulation, and membrane waterproofing. The
roof is original to the building and is in fair condition. The wall has 2 inches of furring and 6
inches of insulation with a reflective exterior.
HVAC SYSTEM
The HVAC equipment was installed in 1989 with a renovation of a limited portion of equipment
in 1998. The equipment is past its useful life and is inefficient. The building has cabinet
heaters, fin tube radiators, and water source heat pumps (WSHP) that provide terminal heating
and cooling to the spaces. Space conditioning for most of the areas is supplied by 54 WSHP.
The WSHP units range from 1.5 Tons to 2 Tons. Ventilation for the building is provided by a
9000 CFM central make-up air unit that is equipped with a glycol-based heating coil. The unit
was found non-operational during the audit.
99 Troy building heated by three (3) hot water boilers (B-1, B-2, B-3), and each has a burner
capacity of 700 MBH. The boilers, pumps and other hydronic equipment are located in the
mechanical room. The Triad dual-temp boiler (B-3) has been replaced in 2019 and is well within
its useful life. This boiler (B-3) provides the 180 oF HW to the glycol loop for the make-up unit,
cabinet heaters and few fin-tube radiators. The two (2) older Triad low-temperature boilers

FIM-5 Install New Make-Up-Air Recovery (MAU) with Heat Recovery
PRESENT CONDITION:
Currently, the building is provided with fresh air by a TRU-PAC make-up air unit (MAU) as
shown in the figure below. The unit is equipped with a glycol-based heating coil and heats a
heat recovery system. The unit was designed to supply 9000 CFM of fresh air to the building.
During the building audit, the unit was found non-operational.
FACILITY IMPROVEMENT MEASURE:
Siemens will replace the unit with an appropriately sized unit that will utilize the existing piping
for the heating coil and have an enthalpy wheel type heat recovery system. The proposed unit
will be an AAON RN Series or approved equal that will provide 9000 CFM fresh air to the
building.
The unit will be connected to the BAS and will be sequenced with an advanced control strategy.
This control strategy will reduce electric, heating and cooling energy consumption by reducing
ventilation rates during periods of low occupancy. The supply fan initially will operate at a full
speed during normal occupancy, however, upon detection of lower occupancy levels, the fan
speed will decrease proportionately to lower air intake.

4.2.6 DDC - Temperature Setback
Location(s): 99 Troy Rd.
Overview:
SIEMENS will use the newly installed Building Management System and Desigo front end to optimize the heating
and cooling unoccupied set point at 99 Troy Rd. Energy savings are achieved by reducing the space heating
temperature set point or increasing the space cooling set point during unoccupied periods. Prior to the retrofit the
space temperature set point of the rooms during heating was 70°F during both occupied and unoccupied periods.
During cooling the rooms set point was 72°F during both occupied and unoccupied periods. The heating and
cooling set points will be verified through 15-minute continuous trending of room temperature set points and
equipment run time annually.
Post-retrofit, if contracted baseline schedules for this equipment, as established in Article 7 of this Exhibit C, are
modified by the CLIENT and result in a loss of energy savings, the Guaranteed Savings for this FIM will be deemed
achieved.

4.2.7 DDC - Demand Control Ventilation on Make-Up-Air Unit
Location(s): 99 Troy Rd.
Description
Thermal (therms) and electrical (kWh) energy savings are achieved by the implementation of demand control
ventilation (DCV) on the HVAC units listed in Table 4.2.7.1. DCV reduces the air heating and cooling requirements
by reducing the supply fan speed to more closely match outdoor air ventilation requirements based on space CO2
levels. Energy savings will be verified by estimating ventilation air used by continuously trending the post-retrofit
supply fan speeds and comparing it to the pre-retrofit supply fan speeds.
If the Contracted Baseline operation for this equipment, as established in Article 7 of this Exhibit C, is modified by
the CLIENT and results in a loss of energy savings, the Guaranteed Savings for this FIM will be deemed achieved
as if the Contracted Baseline was followed.

The following is inserted after Table 5.1.
The total existing annual baseline energy usage is 1,104,317 kWh and 6,339 therms. The baseline
has been adjusted to account for proper MUA Unit operation (this unit is currently not operational), this
adds 25,795 kWh and 11,445 therms per year to provide proper ventilation. The baseline has also
been adjusted to account for proposed occupancy (the facility is currently only 25% occupied with
terminal units disabled and will be 100% occupied upon completion of the project), this adds 1,456,350
kWh and 3,170 therms per year.
This creates a new total baseline energy usage of 2,586,462 kWh and 20,954 therms.

5.2 Within fifteen (15) days of the receipt of the last of the Title Commitment
or Survey, Purchaser may give Seller written notice of any Encumbrances (other than Permitted
Encumbrances) (an “Objection Notice”) which either, (i) in Purchaser’s reasonable opinion, render
title to the Premises unmarketable or (ii) did not appear on the original Title Commitment (such
matters being referred to herein as “Defects” and each being a “Defect”). To the extent not already

documents and instruments to which exception is taken within the Title Commitment that are
delivered by Title Company to Purchaser. If Purchaser fails to timely deliver an Objection Notice,

County or 2022-2023 School District real estate taxes due and payable prior to Closing; (ii) liens
recorded against the Property as a result of the actions of Purchaser.; or (iii) liens recorded against
the Property as a result of the actions of any tenant (other than Laurie Runnerstrom, d/b/a
Greenbush Eye Center (the “Optical Center Tenant”)).
- 5 -
5.4 If Seller elects (or is deemed to have elected) not to cure such Defects,
Purchaser, as its sole remedy, shall be entitled to either (a) waive the Defects, in which case such
Defects shall be deemed Permitted Encumbrances or (b) to cancel this Agreement by giving
written notice to Seller (the “Purchaser’s Notice”) no later than the expiration of the Inspection
Period, whereupon this Agreement shall be deemed to be terminated as of the date of such notice
and Purchaser shall be entitled to the return of the Deposit, and neither party shall have any further
liability hereunder except as otherwise expressly set forth herein to survive termination (including
with respect to Purchaser’s repair and indemnification obligations as set forth in Section 6.4). If
Purchaser does not timely deliver the Purchaser’s Notice, such failure shall be deemed Purchaser’s
election to waive the Defects and Purchaser shall accept the condition of title to the Premises
subject to such waived Defects (which shall be deemed Permitted Encumbrances) and the other
Permitted Encumbrances, without an abatement of the Purchase Price. If Seller elects in the
Seller’s Notice to attempt to cure any one or more Defects, Seller shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to cure such Defects prior to Closing. If Seller elects in the Seller’s Notice to
attempt to cure any such Defects, but at the time of Closing such Defects have not been cured,
Purchaser’s sole option and remedy shall be either to (a) terminate this Agreement, whereupon the
Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and neither party shall have any further liability hereunder
except as otherwise expressly set forth herein to survive termination (including with respect to
Purchaser’s repair and indemnification obligations as set forth in Section 6.4), (ii) if a cure is
ongoing, to extend the Closing Date for up to thirty (30) days to permit more time for Seller to
complete the cure of such Defects, but if not completed within such thirty (30) day period, then
Purchaser may, at its election, opt for item (a) or (c) in this paragraph, or (c) proceed to Closing
and accept the condition of title to the Premises subject to such uncured Defects and all other
Permitted Encumbrances, without an abatement of the Purchase Price.

rights of Tenants set forth in the Existing Leases, Purchaser and its agents, employees, consultants

prior to Closing that any representation or warranty of Seller is untrue, inaccurate or incomplete
(a “misrepresentation” for purposes of this Section 7.2), or that Seller has breached any
representation, warranty or covenant (a “breach” for purposes of this Section 7.2), then Purchaser
shall give Seller written notice thereof (each an “Alleged Breach Notice”) by the date that is the
earlier of: (A) fifteen thirty (1530) days after the Effective Date obtaining such knowledge or (B)
the Closing Date. If Purchaser does not timely provide Seller with an Alleged Breach Notice then:
(i) such misrepresentation or breach shall not be a breach, default or violation of this Agreement
- 11 -
by Seller; (ii) Seller shall have no obligation to cure such misrepresentation or breach; and (iii)
Purchaser shall be required to close the transaction contemplated hereby without any reduction of
or credit against the Purchase Price or claim against Seller with respect to such misrepresentation
or breach pursuant to Section 7.3 hereof or otherwise. If Purchaser does timely provide any Alleged
Breach Notice, then Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation) to cure such
misrepresentation or breach and shall be entitled to a reasonable adjournment of the Closing Date
(not to exceed sixty (60) days) for the purpose of effectuating such cure. Any breach of a
representation or warranty by Seller shall be deemed cured if: (A) Seller takes a curative action
that causes such representation or warranty to become true and correct on the Closing Date or (B)
Seller corrects such representation or warranty and the corrected representation or warranty does
not provide Purchaser with the right to terminate this Agreement. In the event that Purchaser
obtains knowledge of any misrepresentation or breach by Seller at any time on or before the
Closing Date, and Purchaser nevertheless closes the transaction contemplated hereby (whether or
not Purchaser provided an Alleged Breach Notice to Seller of such misrepresentation or breach
and whether or not Seller cured the same), then Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived any
claim against Seller with respect to such misrepresentation or breach and subclauses (i) through
(iii) above shall apply thereto.
7.3 Threshold Amount; Aggregate Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement or the documents to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement
at Closing:
(b) Neither Party shall have no right, remedy, claim or recourse against the
other for any breach, default or violation of this Agreement (including, without limitation, any
misrepresentations or breaches) and/or any agreement, document or instrument to be delivered at
Closing, except to the extent the total collective damages resulting from such misrepresentation(s)
or breach(es) in the aggregate exceed the Threshold Amount. If such damages exceed the
Threshold Amount, then, subject to the terms hereof, either Party shall be entitled to pursue the
amount of such excess. It is intended that the Threshold Amount set forth herein is a “floor”, and
that neither Party shall have no right to pursue damages below the Threshold Amount. For
purposes hereof, the “Threshold Amount” shall mean the sum of Ten Thousand and No/100
United States Dollars ($10,000.00).
(c) Exclusive of Seller’s obligations with respect to payment of the commission
due to Broker as set forth below and Seller’s proration obligations under Section 13 below,
effective upon Closing, Seller’s aggregate liability to Purchaser under this Agreement and under
any of the other provisions contained in the documents to be delivered at Closing or any other
documents executed and delivered in connection with the transaction contemplated hereunder, and
exclusive of Purchaser’s obligation to pay the Purchase Price as set forth herein, the aggregate
liability of Purchaser to Seller shall in no event exceed: Two Hundred Thousand and No/100
United States Dollars ($200,000.00) (the “Aggregate Cap”). Purchaser’s rights and remedies for
Seller’s breaches, defaults and violations under this Agreement prior to Closing, and Seller’s
limited liability with respect thereto, are set forth in Section ___. this Agreement.
- 12 -
(d) The Parties shall only be liable to each other under this Agreement and/or
any documents to be delivered at Closing for actual damages (subject to subsections (a) and (b)
above and other limitations contained in this Agreement), and in no event whatsoever shall either
party be liable to the other for any indirect, consequential, incidental, special or punitive damages.
(e) This Section 7.3 shall survive the Closing or earlier termination of this
Agreement.

supplied by or on behalf of Seller, again subject to the express representations within this
Agreement or any of the Closing Documents. Except as may be specifically provided elsewhere

to Seller, whereupon this Agreement shall be deemed to be terminated as of the date of such notice,
Purchaser shall be entitled to the return of the Deposit, and neither party shall have any further

Closing all of its right to any unpaid insurance proceeds, claims, awards and other payments arising
out of such Casualty Loss, and (c) Seller shall pay to Purchaser all sums received by Seller as

reason of any Casualty Loss without Purchaser’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. For the avoidance of doubt, if such Casualty Loss
is not Material, Purchaser may not elect to terminate this Agreement.

force and effect, and the parties hereto shall proceed to close the transaction contemplated hereby

completed prior to the Closing, Seller shall deposit with Escrow Agent an amount equal to a
reasonable estimate for the completion of such restoration work.
13.4 With respect to a Casualty Loss, the term “Material” shall mean any
casualty such that the cost of repairing the Premises to a condition substantially similar to what
existed immediately prior to the casualty event would be, in the opinion of an architect selected

whereupon this Agreement shall be deemed to be terminated as of the date of such notice, and
neither party shall have any further rights or claims against the other (except for obligations that
- 20 -
expressly survive the termination of this Agreement). If the Taking is Material and Purchaser
elects to proceed with Closing, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, Seller shall
transfer to Purchaser all unpaid claims, awards and other payments arising out of Taking and due
to Seller and Seller shall pay to Purchaser all sums received by Seller as awards or other payments
arising out of such Taking and not theretofore used for restoration or repairs. Unless Purchaser
elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 15, Seller shall not voluntarily
compromise, settle or adjust any amounts payable by reason of any Taking without Purchaser's
prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
For the avoidance of doubt, if such Taking is not Material, Purchaser may not elect to terminate
this Agreement.
14.2 If such Taking is not Material, this Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect, and the parties hereto shall proceed to close the transaction contemplated hereby as
scheduled with no adjustment to the Purchase Price. Seller shall perform any necessary repairs in
order to restore the Property to the extent practicable to be at least equal value and of substantially
the same character as the Property was in immediately prior to such Taking, with such alterations
as may reasonably approved by Purchaser. In the event such restoration work, in Seller’s
reasonable opinion, is not able to be completed prior to the Closing, Seller shall deposit with
Escrow Agent an amount equal to a reasonable estimate for the completion of such restoration
work.
14.3 With respect to a Taking, the term “Material” shall mean any Taking which
permanently materially impairs the current use of the Property or which exceeds Fifty Thousand
and 00/100 Dollars ($50,000.00).
15.0 ESCROW AGENT. Escrow Agent shall hold the Deposit in an escrow
account and shall not be liable to anyone for any damages, loss or expense incurred as a result of
any act or omission of Escrow Agent, unless such damage, loss or expense is caused by Escrow
Agent’s willful misconduct, gross negligence, or fraud. Accordingly, and without limiting the
foregoing, Escrow Agent shall not incur any such liability with respect to: (i) any action taken or
omitted; or (ii) any action taken or omitted in reasonable reliance upon any instrument, including
any written notice or instruction provided for herein, not only as to its due execution by an
authorized person and as to the validity and effectiveness of such instrument, but also as to the
truth and accuracy of any information contained therein. Should any issue or dispute arise, Escrow
Agent shall have no liability to any party hereto for retaining dominion and control over the
Deposit until such issue is resolved by: (i) mutual agreement of the parties; or (ii) final order,
decree or judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. In no event shall Escrow Agent be under
any duty whatsoever to institute or defend such proceeding. The Parties agree, jointly and
severally, to indemnify and hold harmless Escrow Agent from and against any and all costs, loss,
damage, disbursement, liability, and expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs,
which may be imposed upon or incurred by Escrow Agent hereunder, or in connection with the
performance of its duties hereunder, including any litigation arising out of this escrow, or involving
the subject matter hereof, except only costs, losses, claims, damages, disbursements, liabilities and
- 21 -
expenses arising out of Escrow Agent’s acts or omissions for which the Escrow Agent is
adjudicated of having acted with willful misconduct, gross negligence, or fraud by a final decree,
order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal is taken within the
applicable appeals period. At no time shall the Deposit be the property of Escrow Agent. Escrow
Agent is a party to this Agreement solely with respect to the provisions relating to the Deposit.
15.1 This Agreement and the Escrow Agreement (if any) shall be considered as
the escrow instructions between the parties, with such further instructions as Escrow Agent shall
require in order to clarify its duties and responsibilities. If Escrow Agent shall require further
Escrow instructions, Escrow Agent may prepare such instructions on its customary form (“Escrow
Agreement”) to be signed by Purchaser and Seller. In the event of any conflict between the terms
and conditions of this Agreement and such further instructions, the terms and conditions of this
Agreement shall control.
16.0 LEASING OF PREMISES. On or before the expiration of the Due
Diligence Period Effective Date, Purchaser and Seller shall negotiate in good faith and sign to
agree upon a lease, (Purchaser’s review of Seller’s proposal is attached to this Contract) pursuant
to which Purchaser shall lease a portion of the Premises to Seller., at the rent and pursuant to the
terms and conditions contained on Exhibit I attached hereto (the “Post-Closing Lease”). Except
with respect to the rights of tenants under the Existing Leases and of Seller under the Post-Closing
Lease, sole and exclusive occupancy of the Property shall be granted to Purchaser at Closing.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, in the event Purchaser and Seller
are unable to agree upon the terms and conditions of the Post-Closing Lease as set forth herein,
Seller shall have the option to terminate this Agreement prior to the Closing Date or such option
shall be deemed waived and Seller shall have no post closing occupancy rights, in which event
neither party will have any further obligations or liability hereunder, except for those obligations
expressly stated to survive such termination.

Closing Lease was brought about without the assistance of any broker or finder. Seller and
Purchaser shall indemnify and defend each other against any costs, or expenses, including
attorneys’ fees, arising out of the breach on their respective parts of the foregoing statement. Seller
agrees that Seller shall be solely responsible for the payment of all commissions or fees due or
owing to any broker in connection with this Agreement and the Post-Closing Lease or the
transactions contemplated hereby. The representations and obligations under this Section 17 shall
survive the Closing, or, if the Closing does not occur, the termination of this Agreement.

Dear Ms. McMahon:
Thank you for your on-going service as an employee of Rensselaer County. Each employee is a

By copy of this letter, I am requesting the County Attorney to file this appointment with the

3.05 of the Rensselaer County Charter.
A resolution confirming the appointment will be submitted to the County Legislature and you

Sincerely,

July 14, 2021
Honorable Steven F. McLaughlin
Rensselaer County Executive
1600 Seventh Ave.
Troy, NY 12180
Dear County Executive McLaughlin:
This office has been provided with a copy of your letter to Ms. Linda M. McMahon, dated July 8, 2021,
which advised her of her appointment as the Acting Director of the Rensselaer County Probation Department.
Per that letter, this appointment was effective as of July 9, 2021 at 5:00 PM. A copy of Ms. McMahon’s resume
was also provided to this office along with your letter.
Through Title 9 NYCRR Appendix H-10, Standard Specifications for Professional Probation Positions,
the NYS DCJS Office of Probation and Correctional Alternatives (OPCA) ensures that individuals with the
appropriate experience and qualifications enter, and are candidates for recognized professional positions and
advancement within New York’s 58 probation departments. Please note that the new version of Appendix H-
10, which became effective on May 28, 2019, contains updated job specifications and revised qualifications for
the various professional probation positions. As reflected in the General Group Staffing for Probation Positions
attachment, that revision process also resulted in new groupings of New York’s probation departments. The
Rensselaer County Probation Department’s 2021-2022 Annual Pan reports that the agency employs a Deputy
Probation Director (Group C), six (6) Probation Supervisor 1’s, ten (10) Probation Officer 2/Senior Probation
Officers, and thirty-four (34) Probation Officer 1’s. Accordingly, Rensselaer County is considered a Group C”
probation department as it “Employs fifty or more professional probation officer (PO) positions at various levels
in a jurisdiction with a population less than 400,000.” Since the population of Rensselaer County is less than
300,000, Executive Law §257 places the Probation Director position in the competitive class of civil service.
Open Competitive
Graduation from a regionally accredited college or university or one accredited by the New York
State Board of Regents to grant degrees, with a Bachelor’s Degree or higher with at least thirty
(30) credit hours in the social or behavioral sciences and two (2) years of experience as a
Probation Director (Group B) or a Deputy Probation Director (Group C or D), or three (3) years of
experience as a Probation Director (Group A), Deputy Probation Director (Group B), Probation
Supervisor 2/Principal Probation Officer or equivalent experience in a probation agency.”
Promotional
One (1) year of permanent competitive class service as a Deputy Probation Director (Group C)
or two (2) years of permanent competitive class service as a Probation Supervisor 2/Principal
Probation Officer or four (4) years of permanent competitive class service as a Probation
Supervisor 1.
2
A review of Ms. McMahon’s resume indicates that she has served as Deputy Director of the Rensselaer
County Probation Department since 2017, and therefore possesses the minimum experience required under
both the Open Competitive and Promotional specifications for the title of Probation Director (Group C).
This office notes that your letter indicates that Ms. McMahon has been appointed in an acting”
capacity. However, it does not indicate if this acting capacity is due to the County intent to conduct a search
for other fully qualified candidates before a permanent appointment is made; or to reflect that Ms. McMahon
has been appointed provisionally, pending appointment from a valid civil service list for the position. Any
additional information which you can provide regarding this appointment and intent going forward would be
greatly appreciated. Upon the permanent appointment of Ms. McMahon or other fully qualified candidate as
Probation Director (Group C), please provide this office with a copy of the resolution, or similar documentation.
As you are aware, Probation Directors play very significant roles as leaders in both the juvenile justice
and criminal justice systems in their jurisdictions, so the selection of a candidate with the appropriate
knowledge and professional probation experience, is critical. This office has worked with Ms. McMahon in a
variety of capacities over the years and recognizes her leadership and knowledge will allow her to readily
transition into the role of acting Probation Director. I further would like to acknowledge that upon her
appointment to Deputy Director in 2017, Ms. McMahon attended and fully participated in the Executive
Leadership Training offered by this office, which is a requirement for new Probation Directors. We look forward
to continued collaboration with the Rensselaer County Probation Department. Please do not hesitate to call
should you have any questions.

Robert M. Maccarone

York 12180, hereinafter called the “County” and Adept Health Care Service Inc. located at

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. INDEMNIFICATION
Provider acknowledges and agrees that the services to be provided pursuant to the
terms of this agreement are provided as an independent contractor and not as an agent
or as employees of the County. Accordingly, Provider agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the County, its agents, officers and employees, from and against any and all
claims or causes of action, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred
1-15Concord - Document ID: generated after first signature
by the County in connection with a defense of any such claims or causes of action,
which may arise as a consequence of any act or omission on the part of the Provider,
its agents or employees which occurs during the performance of the services to be
provided hereunder.
2. CASE FINDING AND REFERRAL
2.1 CMS will provide initial screening to all clients referred to the Program and for
those clients deemed appropriate to provide case management for the duration of the
project.
2.2 The Provider agrees to consider all its elderly clients, ages 60 and above, for their
potential appropriateness as Program clients. Potentially appropriate clients will
include those elderly clients with chronic physical, mental or emotional conditions
who are residents of Rensselaer County, and are unable to undertake the activities of
daily living, unassisted, over an extended period of time.
2.3 The Provider will refer appropriate clients to CMS for a screening. The process
will be initiated by a telephone contact. The County agrees that CMS shall complete
the screening process within 72 hours of the initial telephone contact. The Provider
will be notified regarding the outcome of the screening. CMS and the Provider will
maintain documentation of referrals, screens and screening outcomes.
3. DETERMINATION OF ELIGIBILITY FOR SERVICES
CMS will have ultimate responsibility for each EISEP client's complete service
package, including authorization of the scope, amount and duration of all Program
reimbursed services to the client. CMS will determine appropriateness for Program
services through a standardized screening process. A comprehensive needs assessment
will be conducted and case management services, including developing a
comprehensive care plan, arranging for services, monitoring of services and
reassessment will follow.
4. SCOPE OF SERVICES
The Provider agrees to provide Personal Care I and II and Ancillary Services in
accordance with the attached specifications to Program clients.
The agency will comply with the requirements contained in 766.3 (Personnel
Requirements) of the New York State Code of Rules and Regulations and written
evidence of that compliance is available to the Department and the State Health
Department.
If the Provider is at capacity and cannot provide the service, CMS will be notified
immediately. CMS shall not be obligated to utilize the services of the Provider.
5. AUTHORIZATION OF SERVICES
5.1 CMS shall determine the core services, the number of units of each core service to
be furnished by the Provider and the duration for the provision of core service to
persons determined to be eligible for the Program. CMS shall authorize the Provider,
in writing, to furnish services of the type; at the level specified; and for the duration of
time specified. CMS may orally authorize the Provider to furnish services to eligible
individuals in situations determined by CMS to be emergencies. CMS shall furnish the
2-15Concord - Document ID: generated after first signature
Provider with a written authorization within ten (10) working days after the oral
authorization. No authorization for service will be valid for more than six (6) months.
Upon receipt of an authorization, the Provider shall furnish services pursuant to the
terms of the authorization to the person specified in the authorization. If, for any
reason, the Provider is unable to provide the services under the authorization, it shall
notify CMS of its inability to provide services under the terms of the authorization and
indicate the specific reasons for its inability to provide services pursuant to the
authorization. CMS may, in its discretion, either revoke or modify its authorization.
CMS shall notify the Provider of its decision.
5.2 CMS, with the consent of the client, will provide information necessary to insure
appropriate care for the client.
5.3 If, at any time, during the referral process, or during the provision of services to a
client referred by CMS, the Provider observes that (1) the problems requiring the
services have changed, (2) the service is no longer appropriate, or (3) the service
cannot be rendered because of consistent failure of the client to accept services, the
Provider will notify CMS. CMS will assess the situation and determine if a change of
service is indicated. If there is an agreement on the changes between CMS and the
client, the modification or cancellation of the service order shall be made by CMS.
CMS has the ultimate responsibility for authorizing the service plan.
6. PAYMENT
6.1 The County shall pay the Provider for services in an amount not to exceed the rate
per unit of service as set forth in Attachment B, attached hereto, or units of service
authorized in the service authorization form. The payment will be made proportionate
to the amount of cost share for which the client is responsible. When the Provider
receives a change in the Medicaid rate for a Medicaid Service, and the County,
through EISEP, contracts with the Provider for the same service, the new rate will
become effective for the EISEP service on the first day of the month in which the
County received notification from the local Department of Social Services.
6.2 The Provider shall submit invoices to the County as set forth in Attachment C,
covering services authorized by CMS pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement, and
rendered to eligible clients of the Program by the Provider during said month. The
Provider will bill the client directly for the portion of the cost of service for which the
client is responsible. The County will be billed for the remaining portion of the cost of
service. The Provider shall not submit a bill to the Fiscal Intermediary for Medicare or
Medicaid or to any other source of payment for any service authorized by CMS or
included in the Program Service Package.
6.3 Upon receipt and approval of a properly completed invoice, payment will be made
to the Provider by the County.
6.4 The County may, after consulting with and obtaining verbal authorization from the
Provider, adjust any invoice of the Provider, both before and after payments have been
made. In cases where agreements cannot be reached or substantive changes are
involved, invoices shall be returned to the Provider for reconsideration and re-
submittal to the County.
3-15Concord - Document ID: generated after first signature
6.5 The County shall not reimburse the Provider for services rendered prior to the
effective date of this Agreement. The County shall not reimburse the Provider for any
amount in excess of the amount, scope and duration of the service authorization form.
6.6 The Provider expressly acknowledges and agrees that this contract will be
considered executory to the extent New York State or Federal funding is relied upon
by the County for the payment of any goods, labor or services to be furnished by
Provider under the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and that in the event such
funding shall not be forthcoming, this Agreement may be terminated by the County
upon reasonable prior written notice to the Provider.

7.1 The Provider agrees to maintain service records on forms approved by the County.
The records will include information on the amount of services provided to individual
clients, and the cost of services per client.
7.2 The Provider agrees to make the following reports to CMS:
1. A verbal confirmation that the client is receiving services from the Provider
as per the CMS request, as soon as the services are initiated; and
2. A written report of services as per Attachment A.
7.3 The Provider shall establish and maintain such documents and financial records as
are required by the County to insure documentation and monitoring and the provisions
of purchased services. In addition, the Provider shall prepare and submit with the
invoices required by Paragraph 6 of this agreement, a monthly report including such
programmatic, fiscal and administrative data as the County reasonably deems
necessary for the monitoring and evaluation of such activities and services and to
substantiate the Program's claim for reimbursement.
7.4 All financial, program and other books, records, documents and property
pertaining to this Agreement shall at all reasonable times be open for inspection,
review or audit by the New York State Office for the Aging and the County, or their
authorized representatives, who shall, at all reasonable times, have access to the
premises wherein such books, records, documents and property are located.
7.5 The Provider shall provide the County such additional data as the County may
reasonably require to permit it to monitor performance of this Agreement at a level
sufficient to assure appropriate fiscal administration, accountability and program
quality.
8. INSURANCE
Provider agrees to maintain during the term of this agreement Workers’ Compensation
and Disability Insurance Coverage as may be required by law, together with liability
insurance with liability limits reasonably satisfactory to the County, and to provide to
the County proof of all such insurance coverage at the time of the execution of this
agreement by Provider. The Certificate holder section must read as follows: Rensselaer
County, c/o Rensselaer County Attorney, 1600 7th Avenue, Troy, New York 12180.
9. CONFIDENTIALITY
4-15Concord - Document ID: generated after first signature
The Provider shall safeguard the use of and access to information regarding
individuals or families to which the County is providing or arranging for services. The
Provider shall not use or release any reports, data, or other information identifying
applicants or persons, except with the approval of such applicant or person served and
in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Program and the Provider, and
where applicable, Federal and State Laws and Regulations. Such information shall be
used only to assure proper administration, planning, coordination, data collection and
monitoring of performance under this Agreement, and to permit the transfer of client
records to another agency for the purpose of continuing services, with appropriate
release from the client or the client's guardian, and for research purposes.

notify the County within five (5) days of such discovery. The County reserves its right
to cancel and contract upon such notification.
The County further shall have the right to cancel this Agreement and declare the same
null and void in the event that the Provider fails to fulfill its obligations under this
section.

The Provider shall prepare and maintain, and shall retain for a period of six (6) years,
or such longer periods as any applicable licensing standards may require, following
completion of performance under this Agreement, the following:

training or retraining, including apprenticeship and on-the-job training.
12.2 The Provider will post and keep posted in conspicuous places, available to

deemed necessary by the State Division for Human Rights under these non-
discrimination clauses and such sections of the Executive Law, and will permit access
to its books, records, and accounts by the State Division of Human Rights, the
Attorney General and the Commissioner of any New York State Agency for purposes
of investigation to ascertain compliance with these non-discrimination clauses and
such sections of the Executive Law and Civil Rights Law.
12.5 This contract may be forthwith canceled, terminated or suspended in whole or in
part, by the County upon the basis of a finding made by the State Division for Human
Rights that the Provider has not complied with these non-discrimination clauses, and
the Provider may be declared ineligible for future contracts made by or on behalf of
the State or a public authority or agency of the State until the Provider satisfies the
State Division of Human Rights that it has established and is carrying out a program in
conformity with the provision of these non-discrimination clauses, such findings shall
be made by the State Division for Human Rights after conciliation efforts by the
Division have failed to achieve compliance with the non-discrimination clauses, and
after a verified complaint has been filed with the Division, notice thereof has been
given to the Provider and an opportunity has been afforded the Provider to be heard
publicly before three members of the Division. Such sanctions may be imposed and
remedies invoked independently of or in addition to sanctions and remedies otherwise
provided by law.
12.6 The Provider will include the provisions of clauses 1 through 5 above in every
subcontract or purchase order in such a manner that such provisions will be binding
upon each subcontractor or vendor as to operations to be performed within the State of

subcontract or purchase order that the County may direct, including sanctions or
remedies for non-compliance.

services against any person who otherwise meets the eligibility criteria for the program
as determined by CMS on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin,

state or local public assistance or housing subsidies. The Provider shall comply with
all applicable provisions of:
a. Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 USC 2000-d et. seq.) prohibits
discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin in programs
receiving federal financial assistance; and

the State of New York acting by and through the applicable State Agency (State) and the public or private entity
(Contractor) identified on the face page hereof (Face Page).
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the State has the authority to regulate and provide funding for the establishment and
operation of program services, design or the execution and performance of construction projects, as applicable
and desires to contract with skilled parties possessing the necessary resources to provide such services or work,
as applicable; and
WHEREAS, the Contractor is ready, willing and able to provide such program services or the execution
and performance of construction projects and possesses or can make available all necessary qualified personnel,
licenses, facilities and expertise to perform or have performed the services or work, as applicable, required
pursuant to the terms of the Master Contract;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises, responsibilities, and covenants herein, the State
and the Contractor agree as follows:
STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS

liability under the Master Contract to the Contractor, or to anyone else, beyond funds appropriated
and available for the Master Contract.
B. Required Approvals: In accordance with Section 112 of the State Finance Law (or, if the
Master Contract is with the State University of New York (SUNY) or City University of New York
(CUNY), Section 355 or Section 6218 of the Education Law), if the Master Contract exceeds
$50,000 (or $85,000 for contracts let by the Office of General Services, or the minimum thresholds
agreed to by the Office of the State Comptroller (OSC) for certain SUNY and CUNY contracts), or
if this is an amendment for any amount to a contract which, as so amended, exceeds said statutory
amount including, but not limited to, changes in amount, consideration, scope or contract term
identified on the Face Page (Contract Term), it shall not be valid, effective or binding upon the State
until it has been approved by, and filed with, the New York Attorney General Contract Approval
Unit (AG) and OSC. If, by the Master Contract, the State agrees to give something other than money
when the value or reasonably estimated value of such consideration exceeds $10,000, it shall not be
valid, effective or binding upon the State until it has been approved by, and filed with, the AG and
OSC.
Budget Changes: An amendment that would result in a transfer of funds among program
activities or budget cost categories that does not affect the amount, consideration, scope or other
terms of such contract may be subject to the approval of the AG and OSC where the amount of
such modification is, as a portion of the total value of the contract, equal to or greater than ten
percent for contracts of less than five million dollars, or five percent for contracts of more than
Contract Number: #C110038

faith to reform the Master Contract in a manner consistent with the intent of any such ineffective

unenforceable with respect to particular circumstances, it shall nevertheless remain in full force
and effect in all other circumstances.

only and do not modify or restrict any of the provisions herein. All personal pronouns used herein

Contract Number: #C110038
Page 4 of 26, Master Contract for Grants Standard Terms and Conditions (August 2014)
5. The parties may, from time to time, specify any new or different e-mail address, facsimile
number or address in the United States as their address for purpose of receiving notice under the
Master Contract by giving fifteen (15) calendar days prior written notice to the other party sent
in accordance herewith. The parties agree to mutually designate individuals as their respective
representatives for the purposes of receiving notices under the Master Contract. Additional
individuals may be designated in writing by the parties for purposes of implementation,
administration, billing and resolving issues and/or disputes.
K. Service of Process: In addition to the methods of service allowed by the State Civil Practice
Law & Rules (CPLR), Contractor hereby consents to service of process upon it by registered or
certified mail, return receipt requested. Service hereunder shall be complete upon Contractor's
actual receipt of process or upon the State's receipt of the return thereof by the United States Postal
Service as refused or undeliverable. Contractor must promptly notify the State, in writing, of each
and every change of address to which service of process can be made. Service by the State to the
last known address shall be sufficient. The Contractor shall have thirty (30) calendar days after
service hereunder is complete in which to respond.
L. Set-Off Rights: The State shall have all of its common law, equitable, and statutory rights of
set-off. These rights shall include, but not be limited to, the State's option to withhold, for the
purposes of set-off, any moneys due to the Contractor under the Master Contract up to any amounts
due and owing to the State with regard to the Master Contract, any other contract with any State
department or agency, including any contract for a term commencing prior to the term of the Master
Contract, plus any amounts due and owing to the State for any other reason including, without
limitation, tax delinquencies, fee delinquencies, or monetary penalties relative thereto. The State
shall exercise its set-off rights in accordance with normal State practices including, in cases of set-
off pursuant to an audit, the finalization of such audit by the State Agency, its representatives, or
OSC.
M. Indemnification: The Contractor shall be solely responsible and answerable in damages for any
and all accidents and/or injuries to persons (including death) or property arising out of or related
to the services to be rendered by the Contractor or its subcontractors pursuant to this Master
Contract. The Contractor shall indemnify and hold harmless the State and its officers and
employees from claims, suits, actions, damages and cost of every nature arising out of the provision
of services pursuant to the Master Contract.
N. Non-Assignment Clause: In accordance with Section 138 of the State Finance Law, the Master
Contract may not be assigned by the Contractor or its right, title or interest therein assigned,
transferred, conveyed, sublet, or otherwise disposed of without the State’s previous written consent,
and attempts to do so shall be considered to be null and void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such
prior written consent of an assignment of a contract, let pursuant to Article XI of the State Finance
Law, may be waived at the discretion of the State Agency and with the concurrence of OSC, where
the original contract was subject to OSC’s approval, where the assignment is due to a reorganization,
merger, or consolidation of the Contractor’s business entity or enterprise. The State retains its right
to approve an assignment and to require that the merged contractor demonstrate its responsibility to
do business with the State. The Contractor may, however, assign its right to receive payments
without the State’s prior written consent unless the Master Contract concerns Certificates of
Participation pursuant to Article 5-A of the State Finance Law.
Contract Number: #C110038
Page 5 of 26, Master Contract for Grants Standard Terms and Conditions (August 2014)
O. Legal Action: No litigation or regulatory action shall be brought against the State of New York,
the State Agency, or against any county or other local government entity with funds provided under
the Master Contract. The term “litigation” shall include commencing or threatening to commence a
lawsuit, joining or threatening to join as a party to ongoing litigation, or requesting any relief from
any of the State of New York, the State Agency, or any county, or other local government entity.
The term “regulatory action” shall include commencing or threatening to commence a regulatory
proceeding, or requesting any regulatory relief from any of the State of New York, the State Agency,

P. No Arbitration: Disputes involving the Master Contract, including the breach or alleged breach
thereof, may not be submitted to binding arbitration (except where statutorily authorized), but must,
instead, be heard in a court of competent jurisdiction of the State of New York.
Q. Secular Purpose: Services performed pursuant to the Master Contract are secular in nature and
shall be performed in a manner that does not discriminate on the basis of religious belief, or promote
or discourage adherence to religion in general or particular religious beliefs.
R. Partisan Political Activity and Lobbying: Funds provided pursuant to the Master Contract
shall not be used for any partisan political activity, or for activities that attempt to influence
legislation or election or defeat of any candidate for public office.
S. Reciprocity and Sanctions Provisions: The Contractor is hereby notified that if its principal
place of business is located in a country, nation, province, state, or political subdivision that
penalizes New York State vendors, and if the goods or services it offers shall be substantially
produced or performed outside New York State, the Omnibus Procurement Act 1994 and 2000
amendments (Chapter 684 and Chapter 383, respectively) require that it be denied contracts which
it would otherwise obtain.
3
T. Reporting Fraud and Abuse: Contractor acknowledges that it has reviewed information on
how to prevent, detect, and report fraud, waste and abuse of public funds, including information
about the Federal False Claims Act, the New York State False Claims Act, and whistleblower

Mandated by Federal Laws) hereto.
II. TERM, TERMINATION AND SUSPENSION
A. Term: The term of the Master Contract shall be as specified on the Face Page, unless
terminated sooner as provided herein.
B. Renewal:
1. General Renewal: The Master Contract may consist of successive periods on the same terms
and conditions, as specified within the Master Contract (a “Simplified Renewal Contract”).
Each additional or superseding period shall be on the forms specified by the State and shall
be incorporated in the Master Contract.
2. Renewal Notice to Not-for-Profit Contractors:
a) Pursuant to State Finance Law §179-t, if the Master Contract is with a not-for-profit
Contractor and provides for a renewal option, the State shall notify the Contractor of the
State’s intent to renew or not to renew the Master Contract no later than ninety (90) calendar
days prior to the end of the term of the Master Contract, unless funding for the renewal is
contingent upon enactment of an appropriation. If funding for the renewal is contingent upon
enactment of an appropriation, the State shall notify the Contractor of the State’s intent to
renew or not to renew the Master Contract the later of: (1) ninety (90) calendar days prior to
the end of the term of the Master Contract, and (2) thirty (30) calendar days after the
necessary appropriation becomes law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the
State is unable to comply with the time frames set forth in this paragraph due to unusual
circumstances beyond the control of the State (“Unusual Circumstances”), no payment of
interest shall be due to the not-for-profit Contractor. For purposes of State Finance Law
§179-t, “Unusual Circumstances” shall not mean the failure by the State to (i) plan for
implementation of a program, (ii) assign sufficient staff resources to implement a program,
(iii) establish a schedule for the implementation of a program or (iv) anticipate any other
reasonably foreseeable circumstance.
b) Notification to the not-for-profit Contractor of the State’s intent to not renew the Master
Contract must be in writing in the form of a letter, with the reason(s) for the non-renewal
included. If the State does not provide notice to the not-for-profit Contractor of its intent not
to renew the Master Contract as required in this Section and State Finance Law §179-t, the
Master Contract shall be deemed continued until the date the State provides the necessary
notice to the Contractor, in accordance with State Finance Law §179-t. Expenses incurred by
the not-for-profit Contractor during such extension shall be reimbursable under the terms of
the Master Contract.
Contract Number: #C110038
Page 7 of 26, Master Contract for Grants Standard Terms and Conditions (August 2014)
C. Termination:
1. Grounds:
a) Mutual Consent: The Master Contract may be terminated at any time upon mutual written
consent of the State and the Contractor.
b) Cause: The State may terminate the Master Contract immediately, upon written notice of
termination to the Contractor, if the Contractor fails to comply with any of the terms and
conditions of the Master Contract and/or with any laws, rules, regulations, policies, or
procedures that are applicable to the Master Contract.
c) Non-Responsibility: In accordance with the provisions of Sections IV(N)(6) and (7)
herein, the State may make a final determination that the Contractor is non-responsible
(Determination of Non-Responsibility). In such event, the State may terminate the Master
Contract at the Contractor’s expense, complete the contractual requirements in any manner
the State deems advisable and pursue available legal or equitable remedies for breach.
d) Convenience: The State may terminate the Master Contract in its sole discretion upon
thirty (30) calendar days prior written notice.
e) Lack of Funds: If for any reason the State or the Federal government terminates or
reduces its appropriation to the applicable State Agency entering into the Master Contract or
fails to pay the full amount of the allocation for the operation of one or more programs
funded under this Master Contract, the Master Contract may be terminated or reduced at the
State Agency’s discretion, provided that no such reduction or termination shall apply to
allowable costs already incurred by the Contractor where funds are available to the State
Agency for payment of such costs. Upon termination or reduction of the Master Contract, all
remaining funds paid to the Contractor that are not subject to allowable costs already
incurred by the Contractor shall be returned to the State Agency. In any event, no liability
shall be incurred by the State (including the State Agency) beyond monies available for the
purposes of the Master Contract. The Contractor acknowledges that any funds due to the
State Agency or the State of New York because of disallowed expenditures after audit shall
be the Contractor’s responsibility.
f) Force Majeure: The State may terminate or suspend its performance under the Master
Contract immediately upon the occurrence of a “force majeure.” For purposes of the Master
Contract, “Force majeure” shall include, but not be limited to, natural disasters, war,
rebellion, insurrection, riot, strikes, lockout and any unforeseen circumstances and acts
beyond the control of the State which render the performance of its obligations impossible.
2. Notice of Termination:
a) Service of notice: Written notice of termination shall be sent by:
(i) personal messenger service; or
Contract Number: #C110038
Page 8 of 26, Master Contract for Grants Standard Terms and Conditions (August 2014)
(ii) certified mail, return receipt requested and first class mail.
b) Effective date of termination: The effective date of the termination shall be the later of (i)
the date indicated in the notice and (ii) the date the notice is received by the Contractor, and
shall be established as follows:
(i) if the notice is delivered by hand, the date of receipt shall be established by the receipt
given to the Contractor or by affidavit of the individual making such hand delivery
attesting to the date of delivery; or
(ii) if the notice is delivered by registered or certified mail, by the receipt returned from
the United States Postal Service, or if no receipt is returned, five (5) business days from
the date of mailing of the first class letter, postage prepaid, in a depository under the care
and control of the United States Postal Service.
3. Effect of Notice and Termination on State’s Payment Obligations:
a) Upon receipt of notice of termination, the Contractor agrees to cancel, prior to the
effective date of any prospective termination, as many outstanding obligations as possible,
and agrees not to incur any new obligations after receipt of the notice without approval by the
State.
b) The State shall be responsible for payment on claims for services or work provided and
costs incurred pursuant to the terms of the Master Contract. In no event shall the State be
liable for expenses and obligations arising from the requirements of the Master Contract after
its termination date.
4. Effect of Termination Based on Misuse or Conversion of State or Federal Property:
Where the Master Contract is terminated for cause based on Contractor’s failure to use some or
all of the real property or equipment purchased pursuant to the Master Contract for the purposes
set forth herein, the State may, at its option, require:
a) the repayment to the State of any monies previously paid to the Contractor; or
b) the return of any real property or equipment purchased under the terms of the Master
Contract; or
c) an appropriate combination of clauses (a) and (b) of Section II(C)(4) herein.
Nothing herein shall be intended to limit the State’s ability to pursue such other legal or equitable
remedies as may be available.
D. Suspension: The State may, in its discretion, order the Contractor to suspend performance for a
reasonable period of time. In the event of such suspension, the Contractor shall be given a formal
written notice outlining the particulars of such suspension. Upon issuance of such notice, the
Contractor shall comply with the particulars of the notice. The State shall have no obligation to
reimburse Contractor’s expenses during such suspension period. Activities may resume at such time
Contract Number: #C110038
Page 9 of 26, Master Contract for Grants Standard Terms and Conditions (August 2014)
as the State issues a formal written notice authorizing a resumption of performance under the Master
Contract.
III. PAYMENT AND REPORTING
A. Terms and Conditions:
1. In full consideration of contract services to be performed, the State Agency agrees to pay and
the Contractor agrees to accept a sum not to exceed the amount noted on the Face Page.
2. The State has no obligation to make payment until all required approvals, including the
approval of the AG and OSC, if required, have been obtained. Contractor obligations or
expenditures that precede the start date of the Master Contract shall not be reimbursed.
3. Contractor must provide complete and accurate billing invoices to the State in order to receive
payment. Provided, however, the State may, at its discretion, automatically generate a voucher in
accordance with an approved contract payment schedule. Billing invoices submitted to the State
must contain all information and supporting documentation required by Attachment D (Payment
and Reporting Schedule) and Section III(C) herein. The State may require the Contractor to
submit billing invoices electronically.
4. Payment for invoices submitted by the Contractor shall only be rendered electronically unless
payment by paper check is expressly authorized by the head of the State Agency, in the sole
discretion of the head of such State Agency, due to extenuating circumstances. Such electronic
payment shall be made in accordance with OSC's procedures and practices to authorize
electronic payments.
5. If travel expenses are an approved expenditure under the Master Contract, travel expenses
shall be reimbursed at the lesser of the rates set forth in the written standard travel policy of the
Contractor, the OSC guidelines, or United States General Services Administration rates. No out-
of-state travel costs shall be permitted unless specifically detailed and pre-approved by the State.
6. Timeliness of advance payments or other claims for reimbursement, and any interest to be
paid to Contractor for late payment, shall be governed by Article 11-A of the State Finance Law
to the extent required by law.
7. Article 11-B of the State Finance Law sets forth certain time frames for the Full Execution of
contracts or renewal contracts with not-for-profit organizations and the implementation of any
program plan associated with such contract. For purposes of this section, “Full Execution” shall
mean that the contract has been signed by all parties thereto and has obtained the approval of the
AG and OSC. Any interest to be paid on a missed payment to the Contractor based on a delay in
the Full Execution of the Master Contract shall be governed by Article 11-B of the State Finance
Law.
Contract Number: #C110038
Page 10 of 26, Master Contract for Grants Standard Terms and Conditions (August 2014)
B. Advance Payment and Recoupment:
1. Advance payments, which the State in its sole discretion may make to not-for-profit grant
recipients, shall be made and recouped in accordance with State Finance Law Section 179(u),
this Section and the provisions of Attachment D (Payment and Reporting Schedule).
2. Initial advance payments made by the State to not-for-profit grant recipients shall be due no
later than thirty (30) calendar days, excluding legal holidays, after the first day of the Contract
Term or, if renewed, in the period identified on the Face Page. Subsequent advance payments
made by the State to not-for-profit grant recipients shall be due no later than thirty (30) calendar
days, excluding legal holidays, after the dates specified in Attachment D (Payment and
Reporting Schedule).
3. For subsequent contract years in multi-year contracts, Contractor will be notified of the
scheduled advance payments for the upcoming contract year no later than 90 days prior to the
commencement of the contract year. For simplified renewals, the payment schedule (Attachment
D) will be modified as part of the renewal process.
4. Recoupment of any advance payment(s) shall be recovered by crediting the percentage of
subsequent claims listed in Attachment D (Payment and Reporting Schedule) and Section III(C)
herein and such claims shall be reduced until the advance is fully recovered within the Contract
Term. Any unexpended advance balance at the end of the Contract Term shall be refunded by
the Contractor to the State.
5. If for any reason the amount of any claim is not sufficient to cover the proportionate advance
amount to be recovered, then subsequent claims may be reduced until the advance is fully
recovered.
C. Claims for Reimbursement:
1. The Contractor shall submit claims for the reimbursement of expenses incurred on behalf of
the State under the Master Contract in accordance with this Section and the applicable claiming
schedule in Attachment D (Payment and Reporting Schedule).
Vouchers submitted for payment shall be deemed to be a certification that the payments
requested are for project expenditures made in accordance with the items as contained in the
applicable Attachment B form (Budget) and during the Contract Term. When submitting a
voucher, such voucher shall also be deemed to certify that: (i) the payments requested do not
duplicate reimbursement from other sources of funding; and (ii) the funds provided herein do
not replace funds that, in the absence of this grant, would have been made available by the
Contractor for this program. Requirement (ii) does not apply to grants funded pursuant to a
Community Projects Fund appropriation.
2. Consistent with the selected reimbursement claiming schedule in Attachment D (Payment
and Reporting Schedule), the Contractor shall comply with the appropriate following provisions:
a) Quarterly Reimbursement: The Contractor shall be entitled to receive payments for
work, projects, and services rendered as detailed and described in Attachment C (Work Plan).

WITNESSETH:

and desires to contract with skilled parties possessing the necessary resources to provide such services or work,
as applicable; and
WHEREAS, the Contractor is ready, willing and able to provide such program services or the execution
and performance of construction projects and possesses or can make available all necessary qualified personnel,
licenses, facilities and expertise to perform or have performed the services or work, as applicable, required

Master Contract is with the State University of New York (SUNY) or City University of New York
(CUNY), Section 355 or Section 6218 of the Education Law), if the Master Contract exceeds
$50,000 (or $85,000 for contracts let by the Office of General Services, or the minimum thresholds
agreed to by the Office of the State Comptroller (OSC) for certain SUNY and CUNY contracts), or
if this is an amendment for any amount to a contract which, as so amended, exceeds said statutory
amount including, but not limited to, changes in amount, consideration, scope or contract term
identified on the Face Page (Contract Term), it shall not be valid, effective or binding upon the State
until it has been approved by, and filed with, the New York Attorney General Contract Approval
Unit (AG) and OSC. If, by the Master Contract, the State agrees to give something other than money
when the value or reasonably estimated value of such consideration exceeds $10,000, it shall not be
valid, effective or binding upon the State until it has been approved by, and filed with, the AG and
OSC.
Budget Changes: An amendment that would result in a transfer of funds among program
activities or budget cost categories that does not affect the amount, consideration, scope or other
terms of such contract may be subject to the approval of the AG and OSC where the amount of
such modification is, as a portion of the total value of the contract, equal to or greater than ten
percent for contracts of less than five million dollars, or five percent for contracts of more than

Page 4 of 26, Master Contract for Grants Standard Terms and Conditions (August 2014)
5. The parties may, from time to time, specify any new or different e-mail address, facsimile
number or address in the United States as their address for purpose of receiving notice under the
Master Contract by giving fifteen (15) calendar days prior written notice to the other party sent
in accordance herewith. The parties agree to mutually designate individuals as their respective
representatives for the purposes of receiving notices under the Master Contract. Additional
individuals may be designated in writing by the parties for purposes of implementation,
administration, billing and resolving issues and/or disputes.
K. Service of Process: In addition to the methods of service allowed by the State Civil Practice
Law & Rules (CPLR), Contractor hereby consents to service of process upon it by registered or
certified mail, return receipt requested. Service hereunder shall be complete upon Contractor's
actual receipt of process or upon the State's receipt of the return thereof by the United States Postal
Service as refused or undeliverable. Contractor must promptly notify the State, in writing, of each
and every change of address to which service of process can be made. Service by the State to the
last known address shall be sufficient. The Contractor shall have thirty (30) calendar days after
service hereunder is complete in which to respond.
L. Set-Off Rights: The State shall have all of its common law, equitable, and statutory rights of
set-off. These rights shall include, but not be limited to, the State's option to withhold, for the
purposes of set-off, any moneys due to the Contractor under the Master Contract up to any amounts
due and owing to the State with regard to the Master Contract, any other contract with any State
department or agency, including any contract for a term commencing prior to the term of the Master
Contract, plus any amounts due and owing to the State for any other reason including, without
limitation, tax delinquencies, fee delinquencies, or monetary penalties relative thereto. The State
shall exercise its set-off rights in accordance with normal State practices including, in cases of set-
off pursuant to an audit, the finalization of such audit by the State Agency, its representatives, or
OSC.
M. Indemnification: The Contractor shall be solely responsible and answerable in damages for any
and all accidents and/or injuries to persons (including death) or property arising out of or related
to the services to be rendered by the Contractor or its subcontractors pursuant to this Master
Contract. The Contractor shall indemnify and hold harmless the State and its officers and
employees from claims, suits, actions, damages and cost of every nature arising out of the provision
of services pursuant to the Master Contract.
N. Non-Assignment Clause: In accordance with Section 138 of the State Finance Law, the Master
Contract may not be assigned by the Contractor or its right, title or interest therein assigned,
transferred, conveyed, sublet, or otherwise disposed of without the State’s previous written consent,
and attempts to do so shall be considered to be null and void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such
prior written consent of an assignment of a contract, let pursuant to Article XI of the State Finance
Law, may be waived at the discretion of the State Agency and with the concurrence of OSC, where
the original contract was subject to OSC’s approval, where the assignment is due to a reorganization,
merger, or consolidation of the Contractor’s business entity or enterprise. The State retains its right
to approve an assignment and to require that the merged contractor demonstrate its responsibility to
do business with the State. The Contractor may, however, assign its right to receive payments
without the State’s prior written consent unless the Master Contract concerns Certificates of
Participation pursuant to Article 5-A of the State Finance Law.
Contract Number: #C3RD638
Page 5 of 26, Master Contract for Grants Standard Terms and Conditions (August 2014)

the State Agency, or against any county or other local government entity with funds provided under
the Master Contract. The term “litigation” shall include commencing or threatening to commence a
lawsuit, joining or threatening to join as a party to ongoing litigation, or requesting any relief from
any of the State of New York, the State Agency, or any county, or other local government entity.
The term “regulatory action” shall include commencing or threatening to commence a regulatory
proceeding, or requesting any regulatory relief from any of the State of New York, the State Agency,

P. No Arbitration: Disputes involving the Master Contract, including the breach or alleged breach
thereof, may not be submitted to binding arbitration (except where statutorily authorized), but must,
instead, be heard in a court of competent jurisdiction of the State of New York.
Q. Secular Purpose: Services performed pursuant to the Master Contract are secular in nature and
shall be performed in a manner that does not discriminate on the basis of religious belief, or promote
or discourage adherence to religion in general or particular religious beliefs.
R. Partisan Political Activity and Lobbying: Funds provided pursuant to the Master Contract
shall not be used for any partisan political activity, or for activities that attempt to influence
legislation or election or defeat of any candidate for public office.
S. Reciprocity and Sanctions Provisions: The Contractor is hereby notified that if its principal
place of business is located in a country, nation, province, state, or political subdivision that
penalizes New York State vendors, and if the goods or services it offers shall be substantially
produced or performed outside New York State, the Omnibus Procurement Act 1994 and 2000
amendments (Chapter 684 and Chapter 383, respectively) require that it be denied contracts which
it would otherwise obtain.
3

2. Renewal Notice to Not-for-Profit Contractors:
a) Pursuant to State Finance Law §179-t, if the Master Contract is with a not-for-profit
Contractor and provides for a renewal option, the State shall notify the Contractor of the
State’s intent to renew or not to renew the Master Contract no later than ninety (90) calendar
days prior to the end of the term of the Master Contract, unless funding for the renewal is
contingent upon enactment of an appropriation. If funding for the renewal is contingent upon
enactment of an appropriation, the State shall notify the Contractor of the State’s intent to
renew or not to renew the Master Contract the later of: (1) ninety (90) calendar days prior to
the end of the term of the Master Contract, and (2) thirty (30) calendar days after the
necessary appropriation becomes law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the
State is unable to comply with the time frames set forth in this paragraph due to unusual
circumstances beyond the control of the State (“Unusual Circumstances”), no payment of
interest shall be due to the not-for-profit Contractor. For purposes of State Finance Law
§179-t, “Unusual Circumstances” shall not mean the failure by the State to (i) plan for
implementation of a program, (ii) assign sufficient staff resources to implement a program,
(iii) establish a schedule for the implementation of a program or (iv) anticipate any other
reasonably foreseeable circumstance.
b) Notification to the not-for-profit Contractor of the State’s intent to not renew the Master
Contract must be in writing in the form of a letter, with the reason(s) for the non-renewal
included. If the State does not provide notice to the not-for-profit Contractor of its intent not
to renew the Master Contract as required in this Section and State Finance Law §179-t, the
Master Contract shall be deemed continued until the date the State provides the necessary
notice to the Contractor, in accordance with State Finance Law §179-t. Expenses incurred by
the not-for-profit Contractor during such extension shall be reimbursable under the terms of
the Master Contract.

procedures that are applicable to the Master Contract.
c) Non-Responsibility: In accordance with the provisions of Sections IV(N)(6) and (7)

Associate agrees to ensure that any agent, subcontractor, or employee to whom it
provides PHI (received from, or created or received by, Business Associate on behalf
of Covered Entity) agrees to the same restrictions, conditions, and requirements that
apply through this Agreement to Business Associate with respect to such information.
3.10 Business Associate must ensure that any contract or other arrangement with a
subcontractor meets the requirements of paragraphs 45 CFR §164.314(a)(2)(i) and
9-15Concord - Document ID: Nzk0ODJmNTItMG

3.17 Business Associate must also maintain records indicating who has accessed PHI
about an Individual in an electronic designated record set and information related to
such access, in accordance with 45 C.F.R. § 164.528. Business Associate must
document such disclosures of PHI and information related to such disclosures as
would be required for a Covered Entity to respond to a request by an Individual for an
accounting of disclosures of PHI in accordance with 45 C.F.R. §164.528. Should an
Individual make a request to Covered Entity for an accounting of disclosures of his or

Covered Entity with information in a format and manner sufficient to respond to the

documents or other information from the Secretary directed to Covered Entity that

3.20 Business Associate may use PHI to report violations of law to appropriate Federal
and State authorities, consistent with 42 C.F.R. § 164.502(j)(1).
3.21 Except as otherwise limited in this Agreement, Business Associate may disclose
PHI for the proper management and administration of Business Associate or the
Underlying Agreement, provided that disclosures are Required By Law, or Business
Associate obtains reasonable assurances from the person to whom the information is
disclosed that it will remain confidential and be used or further disclosed only as
Required By Law or for the limited purpose for which it was disclosed to the person,
and the person must agree to notify Business Associate of any instance of any Breach,
Security Incident, or use or disclosure of PHI not provided for by this Agreement of
which it is aware in which the confidentiality of the information has been breached.
3.22 Business Associate understands that, pursuant to 45 CFR § 160.402, the Business
Associate is liable, in accordance with the Federal common law of agency, for a civil
money penalty for a violation of the HIPAA rules based on the act or omission of any
agent of the Business Associate, including a workforce member or subcontractor,
acting within the scope of the agency.
4. TERM AND TERMINATION
4.1 Term. The Term of this Agreement shall be effective as of the effective date of the
Underlying Agreement, and shall terminate: (1) when all of the PHI provided by
Covered Entity to Business Associate, or created or received by Business Associate on
behalf of Covered Entity, is destroyed or returned to Covered Entity; or, (2) if it is
infeasible to return or destroy PHI, in accordance with the termination provisions in
this Article IV.
4.2 Termination for Cause. Upon Covered Entity's knowledge of a material breach of
this Agreement by Business Associate, Covered Entity shall:
4.2.1 Provide an opportunity for Business Associate to cure the breach or end
the violation and, if Business Associate does not cure the breach or end the
violation within the time specified by Covered Entity, have the right to
terminate this Agreement and to terminate the Underlying Agreement, and
shall report the violation to the Secretary;
4.2.2 Have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement and the
Underlying Agreement if Business Associate has breached a material term of
this Agreement and cure is not possible, and shall report the violation to the
Secretary; or
4.2.3 If neither termination nor cure is feasible, report the violation to the
Secretary.
11-15Concord - Document ID: Nzk0ODJmNTItMG
4.2.4 This Article IV, Term and Termination, Paragraph 4.2, is in addition to
the provisions set forth in Termination provision of the Contract between
County and Vendor, attached to the Underlying Agreement, in which
“Business Associate” is “Contractor” and “Covered Entity” is “County” for
purposes of this Agreement.
4.3 Effect of Termination:
4.3.1 Except as provided in Section 4.3.2, upon termination or cancellation of
this Agreement, for any reason, Business Associate must return or destroy all
PHI received from Covered Entity, or created or received by Business
Associate on behalf of Covered Entity. This provision applies to PHI that is in
the possession of a subcontractor(s), employee(s), or agent(s) of Business
Associate. Business Associate must not retain any copies of the PHI.
4.3.2 In the event that Business Associate determines that returning or
destroying the PHI is infeasible, Business Associate must provide to Covered
Entity written notification of the nature of the PHI and the conditions that make
return or destruction infeasible. After written notification that return or
destruction of PHI is infeasible, Business Associate must extend the protections
of this Agreement to such PHI and limit further use(s) and disclosure(s) of such
PHI to those purposes that make the return or destruction infeasible, for so long
as Business Associate maintains such PHI. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to
the extent that it is not feasible to return or destroy such PHI, the terms and
provisions of this Agreement survive termination of this Agreement with
regard to such PHI.
4.3.3 Should Business Associate violate this Agreement, HIPAA, the
Underlying Agreement, other applicable law, Covered Entity has the right to
immediately terminate any contract then in force between the Parties, including
the Underlying Agreement.
5. CONSIDERATION
Business Associate recognizes that the promises it has made in this Agreement shall,
henceforth, be reasonably, justifiably, and detrimentally relied upon by Covered Entity
in choosing to continue or commence a business relationship with Business Associate.
6. CAUSES OF ACTION IN THE EVENT OF BREACH
As used in this paragraph, the term “breach” has the meaning normally ascribed to that
term under the New York State law related to contracts, as opposed to the specific
definition under HIPAA related to PHI. Business Associate hereby recognizes that
irreparable harm will result to Covered Entity in the event of breach by Business
Associate of any of the covenants and assurances contained in this Agreement. As
such, in the event of breach of any of the covenants and assurances contained in this
Agreement, Covered Entity shall be entitled to enjoin and restrain Business Associate
from any continued violation of this Agreement. Furthermore, in the event of breach of
this Agreement by Business Associate, Covered Entity is entitled to reimbursement
and indemnification from Business Associate for Covered Entity's reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses and costs that were reasonably incurred as a proximate
result of Business Associate's breach. The causes of action contained in this Article VI
are in addition to (and do not supersede) any action for damages and/or any other
12-15Concord - Document ID: Nzk0ODJmNTItMG
cause of action Covered Entity may have for breach of any part of this Agreement.
Furthermore, these provisions are in addition to the provisions set forth in the
“Indemnification” Section, of the General Conditions of Contract between County and
Contractor, attached to the Underlying Agreement in which “Business Associate” is
“Contractor” and “Covered Entity” is “County”, for purposes of this Agreement.
7. MODIFICATION; AMENDMENT
This Agreement may be modified or amended only through a writing signed by the
Parties and, thus, no oral modification or amendment hereof shall be permitted. The
Parties agree to take such action as is necessary to amend this Agreement, from time to
time, as is necessary for Covered Entity to comply with the requirements of HIPAA,
including its Privacy, Security, and Notice Rules.
8. INTERPRETATION OF THIS AGREEMENT IN RELATION TO OTHER
AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES
Should there be any conflict between the language of this Agreement and any other
contract entered into between the Parties (either previous or subsequent to the date of
this Agreement), the language and provisions of this Agreement, along with the
Underlying Agreement, shall control and prevail unless the Parties specifically refer in
a subsequent written agreement to this Agreement, by its title, date, and substance and
specifically state that the provisions of the later written agreement shall control over
this Agreement and Underlying Agreement. In any event, any agreement between the
Parties, including this Agreement and Underlying Agreement, must be in full
compliance with HIPAA, and any provision in an agreement that fails to comply with
HIPAA will be deemed separable from the document, unenforceable, and of no effect.
9. COMPLIANCE WITH STATE LAW
The Business Associate acknowledges that by accepting the PHI from Covered Entity,
it becomes a holder of medical records information under HIPAA and is subject to the
provisions of that law. If HIPAA conflicts with another applicable law regarding the
degree of protection provided for Protected Health Information, Business Associate
must comply with the more restrictive protection requirement.
10. MISCELLANEOUS
10.1 Ambiguity. Any ambiguity in this Agreement shall be resolved to permit Covered
Entity to comply with HIPAA.
10.2 Regulatory References. A reference in this Agreement to a section in HIPAA
means the section in effect, or as amended.
10.3 Notice to Covered Entity. Any notice required under this Agreement to be given
Covered Entity shall be made in writing to:
Rensselaer County Attorney’s Office
Ned Pattison Government Center

10.5 New York State Law. This Agreement is governed by, and shall be construed in
accordance with, applicable federal law and the laws of the State of New York,
without regard to choice of law principles.
10.6 Incorporation of Future Amendments. Other requirements applicable to Business
Associates under HIPAA are incorporated by reference into this Agreement.
10.7 Penalties for HIPAA Violation. In addition to that stated in this Agreement,
Business Associate may be subject to civil and criminal penalties noted under HIPAA,
including the same HIPAA civil and criminal penalties applicable to a Covered Entity.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, and acknowledging acceptance and agreement of the foregoing,
the Parties affix their signatures hereto.

RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE INSTALLMENT OF A ROOFTOP BRIDGE TO ATTACH 61
STATE STREET TO THE COUNTY SERVER – CONFLICT DEFENDER
WHEREAS, This Resolution is filed with the Rensselaer County
Legislature by the Rensselaer County Executive; and
WHEREAS, The current Rensselaer County Building located at 61 State
Street does not have a connection to the County Server that allows the
Office of the Conflict Defender to properly function with its modern
demands, amount of staff, and discovery responsibilities; and
WHEREAS, The current connection is too weak to allow more than one
person to use the County computers; and
WHEREAS, In the near future, the Office of the Conflict Defender
will have 3 employees using computers simultaneously; and
WHEREAS, The current wireless connection to the County Server does not
have the strength to download complex discovery materials now being
provided by the District Attorney’s office, forcing all employees to work
remotely for a large portion of their hours; and
WHEREAS, The Rensselaer County Bureau of Research and Information
Services has determined that a rooftop bridge to the County Server will
provide the needed connectivity to allow the Conflict Defender’s Office,
and other County Offices that could be located at 61 State Street in the
future, to have the connectivity required; and
WHEREAS, The lowest available bid for parts for the project is Acture
Solutions, located at 1462 Erie Blvd, Schenectady, New York 12305,and is
in the amount of $6,981.00; and

5) Justification for the appropriation/expenditure requested. Include any revenue this will
produce or any expense that will be avoided: The Building located at 61 State Street is
owned by the County. However, the Office of the Conflict Defender is the only County
Office in the building. We currently have a wireless bridge to the County server that
allows us to use the computers. However, it is very weak. Only one person can use a
computer at a time and it does not have the ability to download extensive or complex
documents. With NYS funding, we will soon have 3 people working in the office at
once. The current bridge will not support that traffic. Additionally, all discovery must
be loaded from remote locations as our bridge will not support those complex
downloads. With the use of NYS funding, we can now build a rooftop bridge which
would allow our office the function properly and, in the future, allow other County
offices to use the building.

1. INDEMNIFICATION
Provider acknowledges and agrees that the services to be provided pursuant to the
terms of this agreement are provided as an independent contractor and not as an agent

by the County in connection with a defense of any such claims or causes of action,
which may arise as a consequence of any act or omission on the part of the Provider,
its agents or employees which occurs during the performance of the services to be
provided hereunder.
2. CASE FINDING AND REFERRAL
2.1 CMS will provide initial screening to all clients referred to the Program and for
those clients deemed appropriate to provide case management for the duration of the
project.
2.2 The Provider agrees to consider all its elderly clients, ages 60 and above, for their
potential appropriateness as Program clients. Potentially appropriate clients will
include those elderly clients with chronic physical, mental or emotional conditions
who are residents of Rensselaer County, and are unable to undertake the activities of
daily living, unassisted, over an extended period of time.
2.3 The Provider will refer appropriate clients to CMS for a screening. The process
will be initiated by a telephone contact. The County agrees that CMS shall complete
the screening process within 72 hours of the initial telephone contact. The Provider
will be notified regarding the outcome of the screening. CMS and the Provider will
maintain documentation of referrals, screens and screening outcomes.
3. DETERMINATION OF ELIGIBILITY FOR SERVICES
CMS will have ultimate responsibility for each EISEP client's complete service
package, including authorization of the scope, amount and duration of all Program
reimbursed services to the client. CMS will determine appropriateness for Program
services through a standardized screening process. A comprehensive needs assessment

The Provider agrees to provide Personal Care I in accordance with the attached
specifications to Program clients.
The agency will comply with the requirements contained in 766.3 (Personnel
Requirements) of the New York State Code of Rules and Regulations and written
evidence of that compliance is available to the Department and the State Health
Department.
If the Provider is at capacity and cannot provide the service, CMS will be notified
immediately. CMS shall not be obligated to utilize the services of the Provider.
5. AUTHORIZATION OF SERVICES
5.1 CMS shall determine the core services, the number of units of each core service to
be furnished by the Provider and the duration for the provision of core service to
persons determined to be eligible for the Program. CMS shall authorize the Provider,
in writing, to furnish services of the type; at the level specified; and for the duration of
time specified. CMS may orally authorize the Provider to furnish services to eligible
individuals in situations determined by CMS to be emergencies. CMS shall furnish the
2-16Concord - Document ID: NWYxMDlkOGYtNm
Provider with a written authorization within ten (10) working days after the oral
authorization. No authorization for service will be valid for more than six (6) months.
Upon receipt of an authorization, the Provider shall furnish services pursuant to the
terms of the authorization to the person specified in the authorization. If, for any
reason, the Provider is unable to provide the services under the authorization, it shall
notify CMS of its inability to provide services under the terms of the authorization and
indicate the specific reasons for its inability to provide services pursuant to the
authorization. CMS may, in its discretion, either revoke or modify its authorization.
CMS shall notify the Provider of its decision.
5.2 CMS, with the consent of the client, will provide information necessary to insure
appropriate care for the client.
5.3 If, at any time, during the referral process, or during the provision of services to a
client referred by CMS, the Provider observes that (1) the problems requiring the
services have changed, (2) the service is no longer appropriate, or (3) the service
cannot be rendered because of consistent failure of the client to accept services, the
Provider will notify CMS. CMS will assess the situation and determine if a change of
service is indicated. If there is an agreement on the changes between CMS and the
client, the modification or cancellation of the service order shall be made by CMS.
CMS has the ultimate responsibility for authorizing the service plan.
6. PAYMENT
6.1 The County shall pay the Provider for services in an amount not to exceed the rate
per unit of service as set forth in Attachment B, attached hereto, or units of service
authorized in the service authorization form. The payment will be made proportionate
to the amount of cost share for which the client is responsible. When the Provider
receives a change in the Medicaid rate for a Medicaid Service, and the County,
through EISEP, contracts with the Provider for the same service, the new rate will
become effective for the EISEP service on the first day of the month in which the
County received notification from the local Department of Social Services.
6.2 The Provider shall submit invoices to the County as set forth in Attachment C,
covering services authorized by CMS pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement, and
rendered to eligible clients of the Program by the Provider during said month. The
Provider will bill the client directly for the portion of the cost of service for which the
client is responsible. The County will be billed for the remaining portion of the cost of
service. The Provider shall not submit a bill to the Fiscal Intermediary for Medicare or
Medicaid or to any other source of payment for any service authorized by CMS or
included in the Program Service Package.
6.3 Upon receipt and approval of a properly completed invoice, payment will be made
to the Provider by the County.
6.4 The County may, after consulting with and obtaining verbal authorization from the
Provider, adjust any invoice of the Provider, both before and after payments have been
made. In cases where agreements cannot be reached or substantive changes are
involved, invoices shall be returned to the Provider for reconsideration and re-
submittal to the County.

effective date of this Agreement. The County shall not reimburse the Provider for any
amount in excess of the amount, scope and duration of the service authorization form.
6.6 The Provider expressly acknowledges and agrees that this contract will be
considered executory to the extent New York State or Federal funding is relied upon
by the County for the payment of any goods, labor or services to be furnished by
Provider under the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and that in the event such
funding shall not be forthcoming, this Agreement may be terminated by the County

RCSD WWTP Aeration and Miscellaneous Improvements Project Amendatory
Agreement No. 2
Derrick-
Per recent authorization from Rensselaer County Sewer District (RCSD), Ramboll
(f/k/a O’Brien & Gere) has re-engaged the project team to advance the
referenced project from 90% design through bidding and construction. As
discussed during our meeting on January 27, 2022, Ramboll anticipates additional
effort and cost due to the project stop and re-start, addition of NYSDEC required
project components and time escalation. Each of these items is presented below
and anticipated to be included in Engineering Amendment No. 2.
Item 1: Project Re-Initiation
Ramboll had advanced the design to 90% completion when RCSD suspended the
project in Summer 2020. At the time that the project was suspended, Ramboll
was within a few weeks of submitting the project to the NYSDEC for approval and
subsequent bidding by RCSD.
The remaining budget of $76,667 for Tasks 2 and 3 (Preparing Bidding
Documents and Bidding Phase) would have been a suitable budget at that time to
bring the project through the bidding phase.
Since summer 2020, there have been changes to the project team and
substantial changes to the overall construction environment that will result in
additional effort for Ramboll to complete Tasks 2 and 3. A summary of these
activities are presented below and supported by Table 1.
Project re-initiation to acclimate staff to project
Site visits for new team members
Re-engaging/coordinating subconsultant to perform a hazardous material
investigation at the site
Development of a revised opinion of probable construction cost
Re-engaging all vendors and confirming scope, cost and schedule for all
specified equipment
Development of a revised project schedule
2/3
Review/development of unit price and alternate bid items as requested by RCSD
Fee: $21,300
Item 2: Best Management Practice #5 SPDES NY0097971
As part of the Order on Consent CO 4-20120911-01, the NYSDEC outlined in a December 14, 2020
letter to the RCSD the requirement to implement the following improvements within this project:
1. Adjustable weir gate capable of being raised to increase flow to secondary treatment (not
included in original scope of work)
2. Aeration tank influent channel gate actuators coupled with new flow meters (original scope of
work included manual gates and new flow meters only)
3. Operational adjustment of using additional aeration basin(s) for equalization (manual
operation included in original scope of work)
During our recent meeting the RCSD further clarified Item 2 and requested that flow distribution to
Aeration Basins 2, 3 and 4 and overflow (Former Aeration Basin 1) be automated based on flow values.
Under the anticipated flow scheme, two aeration basins will be in operation until flow increases and at
such time, the gate associated with the out of service aeration basin would open and allow flow to enter
the tank. Air supply to the basin would then modulate as the tank fills. The gate to the overflow basin
would open once forward flow to the aeration system exceeds a rate of 51 MGD and will close when the
basin is filled. Excess forward flows above 51 MGD would then be conveyed through the overflow.
The new aeration system is suitable for unmanned automation under this approach and Ramboll
recommends that start-up of the mechanical aerators within the overflow tank be a manual process to
ensure proper operation.
Work under this item includes the following:
Develop drawings for demolition and new work
Design and selection of an adjustable weir gate serving the aeration bypass
Select/specifying gates and electric actuators (four locations) for the channels leading to each of
the aeration basins. Replacement of gates with manual units for Aeration Basin Cells A and B
(total of 10 gates) is within the original scope.
Electrical service to the weir gate and four electrically actuated gates
Instrumentation for the new weir gate and electrically actuated gates
Addition of level sensors in each aeration basin and the overflow basin
Development of control descriptions for the new processes
Control system programming will be by RCSD (Siemens)
Structural and architectural improvements are not anticipated for Items 1,2 and 3
Fee: $24,700
3/3
Item 3: Billing Rate Escalation
The Agreement for Engineering Services allows for a 2% increase in Billing Rates beginning in 2020 and
Ramboll committed to the RCSD to maintain the 2019 rates through the end of the design and bidding
phases scheduled for summer 2020. Rates associated with the remaining work in Tasks 2 and 3 (labor
of $68,677) will be increased by a compounded factor of 6.1% to account for the contractually allowable
rate increase. Please note that the CPI has increased by 10% during the same time period.
Fee: $4,200
Total Amendatory Agreement 2: $50,200
Through this letter, Ramboll is requesting an amendment to our Agreement (Amendatory Agreement
No. 2) to include all Items listed in this letter.
To support this effort beyond our original and amended scope, we anticipate the engineering
expenditures presented below:
