s MEMORANDUM , bfepartm^rit- df /Envirpfir^ntal Protection TO: Russ Pecunies

FROM: Mark D. Hoffer

"'“'3 V.. DATE: / 3/27/02 ... , ; Joel A. Miele Sr., RE. RE: Cleaning of Building Facades and Roofs, Downtown Commissioner 1’ Manhattan ''#i)/l^k'i^;H6ff6r/ .Z Vi AS? GehoraitOouhseiV , I ' Bureau Of Legal; < ; Affair As we discussed, DEP (Bob Avaltroni’s Bureau) is developing a . .•'SgSSSSS " ‘ .'www.ci.nyc.ny.us/dep .6; program to clean the roofs, facades and other exterior surfaces of certain buildings in downtown Manhattan, using federal FEMA funds. I’d like c you to assist on the legal aspects of this program.

BWSiSi ■ .? <4 - 5' s-i Enclosed is a draft letter which Krish dropped off with me this morning, intended to be sent to the relevant building owners. Attached to the letter is a form of License Agreement (presumably based on a draft sd by Barry Schwartz), to secure access to the subject properties.

As you can see, I’ve marked the documents up quite a bit.

j think there are a number of open issues, as follows (and possibly isides):

a) Funding: Is the federal funding in place? Is this documented in Qcau, ry - ihion? Is it clear that we can make payments to contractors as and eded? How does this happen? J Ire we proposing to start any work before federal funding is in low will it be paid for? f

S) Properties: Are we doing a select universe? if so, how was it developed? (other property owners may ask)

(c) Contractors: Are we going to bid the work or pursue an emergency contractor? Do we know that the scope of work (see below) is “biddable”? (that is, the there are contractors who are willing to do this?)
