TRANSCRIPT OF THE APRIL 15, 2021 BOARD MEETINGS OF THE NEW YORK STATE HOUSING TRUST FUND CORPORATION. Linda Manley, Senior Vice President and Counsel to the Agencies, stated that she will now open the April 15, 2021 meeting of the Board of the New York State Housing Trust Fund Corporation (“HTFC”) and noted that because of the novel corona virus emergency in the State, and Federal bans on large meetings or gathering and pursuant to Governor Cuomo’s executive order 220.1 issued on March 12, 2020, which order was extended on March 21, 2021 certain provision of the open meetings law have been suspended. Ms. Manley also stated that the HTFC meeting would be held by conference call instead of as a public meeting open for the public to attend in person, and that a call-in number was made public for the public to listen to the proceedings. Ms. Manley noted that because of these special features voting procedures in prior meetings were put in place so that she asked each Board member to record their votes individually. For this meeting, and going forward, in order to expedite the meetings, she would follow the procedure used prior to the telephonic meetings, where individual votes were taken at the outset of the meetings and those votes were used going forward, unless Board members chose to vote differently on a particular item. Ms. Manley asked for a motion to call the meeting of the HTFC Board to order. Chairman Adams made the motion and Ms. Miller seconded. Mr. Olczak voted aye; Ms. Visnauskas voted aye; Mr. Curtis voted aye; Justice Sconiers voted aye. Ms. Manley noted the presence of a quorum for HTFC. Ms. Manley stated that as items were presented to each Board throughout the meetings, these motions and seconds would be used, unless specific items called for a different vote, or unless any Board Director wished to record his or her vote differently. Chairman Adams asked Ms. Manley to approve the transcripts of the last meetings. Ms. Manley proceeded to present the various board and committee transcripts of the March 11, 2021 HTFC Board meeting and noting that there were no comments from Board members, she stated that the transcript was deemed approved. The transcripts, until the Board commence their regular Board meetings, would be adopted in lieu of Minutes. Chairman Adams noted that the next agenda item was an Action Item, a Resolution Authorizing Awards from the Multifamily Finance 9% Summer 2020 Request for Proposals Process. Staff made a presentation on this item. Ms. Manley moved for adoption of the resolution transmitted in connection therewith. Considering the first and second motions previously entered, the motions were carried, and the resolution was adopted.

TO: Housing Trust Fund Corporation Board Members
FROM: Brett Hebner, Vice President, Multifamily Finance
SUBJECT: Reauthorization of HTFC Awards
DATE: May 6, 2021
__________________________________________________________________
Background:
The HTFC Board previously authorized the CIF, HTF and/or SHOP awards to the projects listed below. In
accordance with a previous resolution of the HTFC Board, capital awards were authorized for an effective period
of 360 days, to incentivize progress toward closing on construction financing.
As a result of various delays including securing local and federal approvals, cost increases, and the impact of the
COVID-19 pandemic, the original HTFC awards require reauthorization in order to proceed to a closing.
Significant progress toward construction financing closings has been made in connection with the below listed
projects along with financial investments and commitments made in good faith. The remaining outstanding
issues are able and expected to be resolved once the awards are reauthorized.
Recommendation
In light of the significant progress that has been made and the expectation that each of these projects will
resolve any outstanding issues and move to a construction financing closing, the Office of Finance &
Development recommends a reauthorization of the following awards:

May 13, 2021 Board Meeting
Applicant: Village of Medina
Project Name: MJZ Restaurant Group, LLC (Zambistro Restaurant)
Public Benefit: Job Creation: 22 FTE
Project Description and Public Purpose
The Village of Medina has requested $88,000 in NYS CDBG Economic Development funds to assist Zambistro
Restaurant with furniture, fixtures, equipment, working capital and building renovations required to expand
operations at the current location and adjacent property acquired located in Medina, NY.
MJZ Restaurant Group, LLC formed in 2006 and operates Zambistro Restaurant, which offers fine dining and
comfort food featuring local ingredients and wines. In addition, Zambistro also operates an established catering
business but has lacked a space to use for the events that it caters. With that in mind, one of the owners acquired
the adjacent property and has proposed to make renovations to create a multiuse banquet/bar space with seating
for 50 for events and overflow from the restaurant, as well as a full-service bar and additional refrigeration and
prep space. Overall, this project will allow for the growth of a local business and the redevelopment of a vacant

The proposed total project cost is $221,000 and the project will create 4 full-time equivalent jobs over two years,
with 100% to benefit low- and moderate-income persons. The full project will assist Zambistro Restaurant with
furniture, fixtures, equipment, working capital, building renovations and administration fees and NYS CDBG
funds will be allocated to a portion of those costs. The NYS CDBG cost per job is $22,000. Each dollar in NYS
CDBG funds provided will leverage $1.51 in private investment. Without CDBG funds, the resulting gap in
financing will prevent the business from making the total planned investment and the new positions will not be
created.

Public Benefit: Job Creation: 3 FTE Project Description and Public Purpose Niagara County has requested $75,000 in NYS CDBG Economic Development funds to assist Ultimate Physique, Inc. with equipment, working capital, and soft costs to assist with operating expenses to continue operations at its fitness club located in Lockport, NY. Ultimate Physique, Inc. is a fitness center operating in a redeveloped former school building that provides comprehensive fitness facilities and services, including free weights, weight machines, cardio equipment, and a variety of classes. The fitness industry was devastated by the COVID-19 pandemic, and Ultimate Physique was subject to a State-mandated shut-down. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, Ultimate Physique had 800 members. Since reopening under NYS guidelines, membership has declined to 400 members. As Ultimate Physique works to rebuild its membership and business, it must replace equipment that was damaged when it was moved outside to meet guidelines for operation during the pandemic and requires working capital funds to help cover operating and marketing expenses. The proposed total project cost is $187,500 and the project will create 3 full-time equivalent jobs over two years, with 100% to benefit low- and moderate-income persons. The full project will assist Ultimate Physique, Inc. with equipment, working capital and administration fees and NYS CDBG funds will be allocated to a portion of those costs.

Governor Commissioner/CEO
May 6, 2021
To: Housing Trust Fund Corporation Members
From: Nanika Shaw, Associate General Counsel, Governor’s Office of Storm Recovery
Subject: Contract Extensions for Limited Period Without Competitive Award Process
Reason Before the Members
The Governor’s Office of Storm Recovery (GOSR) is seeking an extension for four (4) contracts,
for one (1) year and three (3) months. The contracts include Lipsky Building Construction Inc.
(“Lipsky”), Rapid Construction and Management (“Rapid”), Philipp Kampf Architecture &
Design (“PKAD”), and Michael Sudano Architect P.C. (“Sudano”). Extending these contracts for
one (1) year and three (3) months will result in the contracts going beyond a five (5) year period
without a new competitive award process thereby triggering the rules governing Article X(b)(ii)
of the GOSR Procurement Policy, which states:
“Any determination not to enter into a new competitive award process, pursuant to which a
Contract would exceed a projected five (5) years without a new competitive award process, shall
require the affirmative concurrence of the Corporation’s Members included in a resolution adopted
by the Corporation’s Members. Such affirmative concurrences shall not be required with respect
to Single Source Contracts, Sole Source Contracts, existing State Agency or Authority Contracts
or existing GSA Contracts.”
The historical context for each contract is as follows:
Lipsky
On April 14, 2016, GOSR/Housing Trust Fund Corporation (“HTFC”) initiated a public and open
competitive Request for Qualification (“RFQ”) #201603_047 for Professional Services for
CDBG-DR Residential Elevation, Renovation and New Construction Services. Through this RFQ,
a prequalified list (“PQL”) of three (3) residential elevation, renovation, and new construction
services contractors was established effective July 8, 2016 and another two (2) such contractors
were added to the PQL effective August 11, 2016, one of which was Lipsky. The selection of
Lipsky was based on the following selection criteria identified in the RFQ: (1) Project Experience,
(2) Key Personnel, (3) Technical Approach and Work Plan, and (4) Commitment to Compliance.
Lipsky was the successful bidder of an Invitation for Bid (“IFB”) #027E issued by GOSR for
Residential Elevation Construction Services, which was awarded on a lowest responsive and
responsible bid basis. A Construction Agreement was therefore issued to Lipsky on November 2,
www.nyshcr.org Page 1 of 62016 with an initial contract term of one (1) year, effective September 7, 2016 through September
6, 2017. The initial total funding allocation for the Lipsky contract was $5,000,000.00. This
amount was established to fund the initial award to Lipsky of IFB #027E, as well as, to provide
additional funding in anticipation of future bid and award opportunities.
The following Amendments for the Lipsky contract (which include extensions and/or funding
increases) were executed:
1). The First Amendment to the Agreement, entered into on January 20, 2017 increased the
Agreement Amount from $5,000,000.00 to $10,000,000.00 with no Term extension.
2). The Second Amendment issued on November 16, 2017 increased the Agreement Amount from
$10,000,000.00 to $14,000,000.00, extended the Term to September 6, 2018, and corrected two
“Whereas” clauses in the First Amendment concerning the first PQL Lipsky was admitted to and
the first IFB awarded to Lipsky.
3). The Third Amendment issued on July 11, 2018 increased the Agreement Amount from
$14,000,000.00 to $16,550,000.00 and extended the Term to September 6, 2019.
4). The Fourth Amendment issued on January 25, 2019 increased the Agreement Amount from
$16,550,000.00 to $16,720,000.00 with no Term extension.
5). The Fifth Amendment issued on August 26, 2019 increased the Agreement Amount from
$16,720,000.00 to $17,720,000.00 and extended the Term to September 6, 2020.
6). The Sixth Amendment issued on November 3, 2020 increased the Agreement Amount from
$17,720,000.00 to $25,100,000.00 and extended the Term to September 6, 2021.
Following these contract amendments/extensions, the Lipsky contract was given a new termination
date of September 6, 2021.
Rapid
On October 14, 2015, GOSR/HTFC initiated a public and open competitive RFQ #201510_040
for Professional Services for CDBG-DR Residential Construction Services. Through this RFQ, a
prequalified list of eleven (11) residential construction services contractors was established
effective January 12, 2016, one of which was Rapid. The selection of Rapid was based on the
following selection criteria identified in the RFQ: (1) Project Experience, (2) Key Personnel, (3)
References, (4) Technical Approach and Work Plan, and (5) Commitment to Complying with all
Applicable Federal, State, and Local Regulations. Rapid was the successful bidder of IFB#s 001,
002, and 004 issued by GOSR for Hot Spot/Small Repair Construction Services, which were
awarded on a low bid low cost basis. A Construction Agreement was therefore issued to Rapid on
March 9, 2016 with an initial contract term of one (1) year, effective March 9, 2016 through March
8, 2017. The initial total funding allocation for the Rapid contract was $1,000,000.00. This amount
was established to fund the initial award to Rapid of IFB #s 001, 002, and 004, as well as to provide
additional funding in anticipation of future bid and award opportunities.
The following Amendments for the Rapid contract (which include extensions and/or funding
increases) were executed:
www.nyshcr.org Page 2 of 61). The First Amendment to the Agreement, entered into on February 10, 2017 increased the
Agreement Amount from $1,000,000.00 to $2,000,000.00 and extended the Term to March 8,
2018.
2). The Second Amendment issued on August 14, 2017 increased the Agreement Amount from
$2,000,000.00 to $3,000,000.00 and extended the Term to July 15, 2018.

no increase in Amount.
4). The Fourth Amendment issued on August 6, 2019 extended the Term to July 15, 2020 with no
increase in Amount.
5). The Fifth Amendment issued on May 27, 2020 extended the Term to July 15, 2021 with no
increase in Amount.
Following these contract amendments/extensions, the Rapid contract was given a new termination
date of July 15, 2021.
PKAD
On December 28, 2015, GOSR/HTFC initiated a public and open competitive RFQ #201512_042
for Professional Services for CDBG-DR Residential Design Services. Through this RFQ, a
prequalified list of two (2) residential design services contractors was established effective March
23, 2016, one of which was PKAD. The selection of PKAD was based on the following selection
criteria identified in the RFQ: (1) Project Experience, (2) Key Personnel, (3) Technical Approach
and Work Plan, and (4) Commitment to Compliance. PKAD was the successful bidder of RFP
#002 issued by GOSR for Residential Design Services, which was awarded on a best value basis.
A Design Agreement was therefore issued to PKAD on September 13, 2016 with an initial contract
term of one (1) year, effective July 26, 2016 through July 25, 2017. The initial total funding
allocation for the PKAD contract was $1,000,000.00. This amount was established to fund the
initial award to PKAD of RFP #002, as well as to provide additional funding in anticipation of
future bid and award opportunities.
The following Amendments for the PKAD contract (which include extensions and/or funding
increases) were executed:
1). The First Amendment to the Agreement, entered into on January 6, 2017 increased the
Agreement Amount from $1,000,000.00 to $2,000,000.00 with no Term extension.
2). The Second Amendment issued on January 28, 2017 increased the Agreement Amount from
$2,000,000.00 to $3,000,000.00 and extended the Term to July 25, 2018.

with no increase in Amount.
www.nyshcr.org Page 3 of 65). The Fifth Amendment issued on December 1, 2020 extended the Term to July 25, 2021 with
no increase in Amount.
Following these contract amendments/extensions, the PKAD contract was given a new termination
date of July 25, 2021.
SUDANO
On December 28, 2015, GOSR/HTFC initiated a public and open competitive RFQ #201512_042
for Professional Services for CDBG-DR Residential Design Services. Through this RFQ, a
prequalified list (“PQL”) of two (2) residential design services contractors was established
effective March 23, 2016. Another three (3) such contractors were added to the PQL effective May
16, 2016, and then two (2) additional contractors were added to the PQL effective July 22, 2016,
one of which was Sudano. The selection of Sudano was based on the following selection criteria
identified in the RFQ: (1) Project Experience, (2) Key Personnel, (3) Technical Approach and
Work Plan, and (4) Commitment to Compliance. Sudano was the successful bidder of RFP #005
issued by GOSR for Residential Reconstruction Design Services, which was awarded on a best
value basis. A Design Agreement was therefore issued to Sudano on September 27, 2016 with an
initial contract term of one (1) year, effective September 27, 2016 through September 26, 2017.
The initial total funding allocation for the Sudano contract was $1,000,000.00. This amount was

Following these contract amendments/extensions, the Sudano contract was given a new
termination date of September 26, 2021.
Rationale
GOSR is seeking to extend its contract with Lipsky, Rapid, PKAD, and Sudano without a new
competitive award process based on an examination of several factors. These factors include a
review of: (1) Covid-19 impact, (2) quality of service, and (3) timing/costliness.
Covid-19 Impact
www.nyshcr.org Page 4 of 6Following the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, there were several months long restrictions, including
the partial and full closure of permitting offices. Moreover, stringent requirements were put in place in
response to the COVID-19 pandemic which ultimately impacted GOSRs activities and output related to
its applicants, staff, and vendors. The resulting disruption to GOSR’s Housing Program, including its in-
house construction program, has led to an unforeseen delay in the initiation, progression, and completion
of GOSR construction projects. As such, the anticipated completion of necessary construction activities
has been pushed to 2022. Consequently, GOSR will require the continued services of several vendors for
a longer term than was previously anticipated, including currently active and experienced construction
vendors and/or construction design vendors, such as Lipsky, Rapid, PKAD, and Sudano.
Type/Quality of Service
GOSR has established a large-scale, temporary suite of Housing Recovery programs. For five (5) years,
more than half of the tenure of the program, the vendors Lipsky, Rapid, PKAD, and Sudano have provided
direct construction and related services for applicants to the State’s largest housing recovery programs
and subsequently supported large scale National Disaster Resiliency (“NDR”) programs. As the Program
approaches final closure, a small number of applicants in need of these services remain. The four (4)
vendors are amongst the primary and longest serving construction and/or construction design vendors
associated with the programs. They have all developed irreplaceable, intimate knowledge of and
experience with both programs. Moreover, they are privy to issues concerning the programs’ projects and
are qualified to perform required tasks to address any such issues. Due to their significant history as
program vendors, they have all developed institutional knowledge required to provide these necessary
services which will allow GOSR’s applicants to complete their construction projects within strict time
constraints. The replacement of these four (4) vendors for the remaining projects would disrupt Program
closeout and potentially elongate the tenure of the remaining applicants in the Program.
Timing/Costliness
Lipsky provides residential elevation and general construction services for GOSR’s in-house Construction
Program. GOSR seeks to extend the Lipsky contract to allow for the completion of the scope for which
they are currently contracted, which includes an in-progress large scale NDR-PHA construction project.
Rapid provides limited-scope residential repair construction, property maintenance, and minor repair
services for GOSR’s in-house Construction Program. PKAD provides residential construction design and
related services for GOSR’s in-house Construction Program. Finally, Sudano provides residential
construction design, retroactive permitting, and related services for GOSR’s in-house Construction
Program.
The anticipated closeout of the GOSR Construction Program has been extended to September 30, 2022
pursuant to HUD’s extension of its grant’s expenditure deadline to the same date. Over the next year
approximately, Program anticipates the completion of all currently pending and anticipated construction
projects. GOSR seeks to extend the four (4) contracts to allow for the completion of the scope for which
they are currently contracted. Due to the relatively short remaining length of the program, GOSR does
not expect to utilize new procurement vehicles to close out the remaining cases and construction projects.
Additionally, GOSR would like to retain the option for all four (4) vendors to bid on additional clean-up
work that may be required in the coming months to close out the remaining active projects and the
program. The time and expense which would be required to engage in a new solicitation and onboard new
vendors for the provision of these services to the small portion of remaining applicants would not be cost
effective given the expected remaining short duration of the Program and services.
www.nyshcr.org Page 5 of 6Recommendation and Required Action by Members
Based on the above, there is a compelling programmatic need to extend the existing contracts with
Lipsky, Rapid, PKAD, and Sudano. GOSR respectfully requests that the Members approve the
Lipsky, Rapid, PKAD, and Sudano contract extensions for one (1) year and three (3) months
without a new competitive award process.
