HARRIMAN OFFICE CAMPUS | 2
INTRODUCTION
A. OPPORTUNITY OVERVIEW
The New York State Office of General Services (OGS) is seeking proposals for the purchase and
development of 27 acres (the Project) in the southeastern portion of the Harriman Office Campus (the
Site or Property), located in Albany, NY. OGS envisions a project with a vibrant and synergistic mix
of usespotentially including corporations; companies in the healthcare, technology, research and
education sectors; retailers; hospitality uses; and ancillary parking.
Each party that submits a response (Proposal) to this Request for Proposals (RFP) is referred to herein
as a Respondent, and the Respondent that is conditionally selected or designated through this RFP
process is referred to herein as the Designated Developer. Respondents to this RFP may propose mixed
commercial developments, including office and retail, that will advance the development objectives
discussed in Section II(B).
Located in one of the fastest growing areas of New York States Capital Region, the Site is contained within
the dynamic Harriman Campus, which is currently being extensively redeveloped. New York State (NYS)
will continue to maintain offices in the central portion of the campus, investing $152 million in renovation
and office space restacking of many of its office buildings. The northwestern portion of the Campus is
being redeveloped by the University at Albany as its new Emerging Technology and Entrepreneurism
Complex (ETEC) Campus. When the New York State office renovations and ETEC projects are completed
in 2020, the Campus will have a daytime population of approximately 12,400 employees and students.
This large population will be a tremendous source of demand for any supporting retail developed at the
Site, which is within walking distance.
The Site and the Campus are located along Albanys Washington Avenue corridor, an important
educational, medical and governmental hub in the Capital Region. In addition to the State Offices and
future ETEC development, this area includes the uptown campus of the 17,300-student State University
of New York at Albany (University at Albany), SUNYs College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering
(SUNY Poly), hundreds of thousands of square feet of medical and professional office space, two
super regional malls, a cluster of hotels with 590 guest rooms and residential neighborhoods. The local
workforce is highly educated and skilled, and demographics suggest continued long-term growth in
the area. These factors, combined with the Sites proximity to bus service and major highways, providing
direct access to downtown Albany, Albany International Airport and Amtrak train service, support the
Sites position as a premier location for commercial development.

INTRODUCTION
B. HISTORY AND FUTURE PLANS

The W. Averell Harriman State Office Building Campus was developed as a Class A suburban office park in the 1950s and 1960s, and at its peak contained more
than three million square feet of office space in 16 buildings. Prior to its development, the Campus was raw land within the Albany Pine Bush, one of the largest
inland Pine Barrens in the world.
Updating and re-energizing this important economic asset is of high importance to New York State. Since 2012, NYS has invested more than $87 million in
building rehabilitation and infrastructure upgrade projects on the Campus. Another $152 million in additional projects is underway related to rehabilitating and
improving the remaining buildings in the central portion of the Campus, part of an ongoing effort to consolidate, re-stack and improve tenant locations. Some
of these projects include a complete gut rehabilitation of Building 5, the conversion of Building 3 to a day care center that will also offer after-school and summer
programs for children, and complete renovation of Buildings 4 and 7. Infrastructure improvements are also being made that will facilitate the Campuss increased
use. Private development of the 27-acre Site will complement and benefit from these improvements to the balance of the Harriman Campus.

SITE DESCRIPTION & DEVELOPMENT PLAN
A. SITE DESCRIPTION
The 27-acre Site being offered for sale was further improved for redevelopment with the demolition of Campus Buildings 1 and 1A. This improvement is continuing
with the demolition of Building 2, which is underway and will be completed by the end of 2016. The sites of Buildings 1 and 1A are cleared and free of hazardous
materials. As part of the demolition, the building foundations were taken down at least two feet below grade, and their concrete slabs were broken up into
material of 2-inch diameter or less. Remaining material was then compacted in place. Building 2 will be demolished, and the site will be left in the same condition
as the sites where Buildings 1 and 1A previously stood.
1. ZONING
The Site is located in the City of Albany Commercial Office (CO) zoning district, as indicated by the City Zoning Map. However, the City of Albany is currently in
the midst of rewriting its zoning code and land development regulations (http://rezonealbany.com). Having commenced in October 2014, ReZone Albany will be
the first major rewrite of the zoning regulations since 1968 and is expected to take two years to complete. Respondents are encouraged to submit Proposals that
comply with the City of Albany zoning at the time of submission. The goal of this effort is to encourage smarter and more efficient building design, and create a
more straightforward and predictable process for building improvements and new development.
Development of the Site should be considered within the context of Albany 2030, the Comprehensive Plan for the City of Albany, which identified the Harriman
Campus as one of Albanys regional activity centers. These centers are described as major urban hubs that draw residents and visitors from throughout the region
and beyond. The Plan specifically refers to the 330-acre campus, which includes the Site, as an unparalleled opportunity for redevelopment and reinvestment.
In the Plans implementation section, it seeks to develop the Harriman Campus as a mixed-use, transit-oriented community and is listed as an ongoing project
combining the efforts of City, State and institutional partners. For your reference, the Plan is available online at www.albany2030.org/general/final-plan.

2. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
The Site is also located within the region covered by the Capital Region Economic Development Council (CREDC). In 2011, Governor Cuomo created 10
Regional Councils to develop long-term strategic plans for their regions economic growth. These Regional Councils are a key component of Governor
Cuomos transformative approach to economic development. They are public-private partnerships made up of local experts and stakeholders from
business, academia, local government and non-governmental organizations. The CREDC is one of the 10 regions across the State and has produced an
innovative strategic plan and implementation agenda for the region. The CREDCs Strategic Plan, recent Progress Report (2015) and other documents can
be found at http://regionalcouncils.ny.gov/content/capital-region.
II
A. SITE DESCRIPTION
3. ACCESS, VISIBILITY AND TOPOGRAPHY
ACCESS & VISIBILITY
TOPOGRAPHY
The Campus is surrounded by a NYS-owned ring road

that provides direct access to the interior of the Site
as well as linkages to the surrounding City streets and
highways. The inner ring carries traffic flowing in a
clockwise direction while traffic in the outer ring flows
counter-clockwise.
The topography of the

Site is flat, but State Route
85 is below grade in the
vicinity of the Property.
The Site is well located with excellent access to Interstates

90 and 87, and State Route 85. These highways link the
property with downtown Albany, Albany International
Airport, the entire Capital Region, other regions of the
State, other states and Canada. The Site is highly visible
from Washington Avenue, an important commercial
corridor that includes the Harriman Campus, the
University at Albany, chain-affiliated hotels, Class A
medical and office space, and retail space. Multifamily
and single-family residential areas are directly adjacent
to the Site.
The Harriman Campus currently has
bus service that runs approximately
every 30 minutes. The Capital District
Transportation Authority has plans to create a Bus Rapid
Transit (BRT) system that would increase service to
every 7 to 10 minutes.

A. SITE DESCRIPTION
4. UTILITIES
New York State is investing in several infrastructure access upgrades that make the Site prime for redevelopment.
Sanitary Sewer A new sanitary pumping station will be constructed on OGS property, west of the Sites property line. OGS will provide a connection point
(manhole) in the vicinity of the southwestern corner of the parcel. This manhole will provide a gravity connection to the future sanitary pumping station, which
will ultimately be pumped, via force main, north to a City of Albany sanitary discharge point.
A sanitary main that serves the balance of the Campus, traverses the west side of the Site heading south, then turns east into the Site and then south again.
This main sanitary line is anticipated to be abandoned in place once the new sanitary pumping station is online, but until such time remains an active
discharge line for Harriman Campus facilities west of the Site.
Electric Service and Natural Gas The Designated Developer will be responsible for acquiring electric and gas services from National Grid. Please see the Table
of Contents to find maps outlining locations of utility services.
Potable Water Services - City water service will be made available to the Site at the northwest corner of the Site via an existing 12-inch water main that services
the Harriman Campus from the City of Albanys water main supply pipe routed along Washington Avenue.
Communication Support System - A NYS Information Technology Services (ITS) conduit system crosses the property. It consists of three manholes that ITS
is working to vacate as well as two manholes that once interconnected Campus Bldgs. 1 and 2 with the ITS conduit system. The three manholes represent
a segment of the original conduit system that was installed when the Campus was first developed. The other two manholes are a segment of the conduit
ring that was installed around the Campus in the 1990s. NYS-ITS is working on a plan to vacate the ducts of all NYS cable plant and if present, other carriers
facilities within these ducts.
The conduit duct bank can be used to support fiber optic and copper cabling facilities for the Site with minimal need to install new conduit facilities. The
manholes on the site interconnect to others on the ITS-owned conduit system (not part of the sale). However, communications carriers will be allowed access
to several conduits through the eastern most manholes. Carriers will be required to coordinate with ITS to plan facility routes through the ITS conduit system
or they may construct entrances to the manhole(s) that provide access to the vacated duct system.
5. ENVIRONMENTAL
As stated previously, Buildings 1 and 1A were removed by the State in 2014. The remaining Building 2 will be demolished by the end of 2016. As part of the
demolition an underground storage tank (UST) was removed. Additional information on those demolitions and a report on the removal of the UST can be
found on www.NYSHarrimanCampusLandForSale.com. A Phase 1 Environmental Study for the Site has been prepared by OGS and will be available to
interested parties on www.NYSHarrimanCampusLandForSale.com. Any additional studies beyond Phase 1 and any necessary cleanup will be the responsibility
of the Designated Developer. As part of the disposition process (see Section VI(B) herein), OGS intends to conduct an environmental review of the sale and
development of the Site that is compliant with the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) and the regulations promulgated thereunder. The
Designated Developer shall be responsible for, among other things, submitting a full environmental assessment form. Information on SEQRA can be found at
http://www.dec.ny.gov/permits/357.html.
II
A. SITE DESCRIPTION
6. TAXES
Currently, the property is owned by the People of the State of New York and therefore is exempt from property taxes. Under a purchase and private re-use of the
Site, property taxes would be assessed for the entire Site by the City of Albany through its Department of Assessment and Taxation (the Department) and would
be the responsibility of the Designated Developer to pay.
The Designated Developer may consider available State and local incentive programs. The Designated Developer should work with the Capital Region Economic
Development Council and City of Albanys economic development organization, Capitalize Albany Corporation, to identify potential resources and programs to
the project, including, but not limited to:
City of Albany Industrial Development Agency and Capital Resource Corporation
The purposes of the City of Albany Industrial Development Agency (CAIDA) and Capital Resource Corporation (CACRC) are to promote, develop, encourage and
assist in acquiring, constructing, improving, maintaining or equipping certain eligible projects. Both the CAIDA and CACRC provide specific financial assistance
that serves to lower the costs of undertaking and financing projects. More information about the organizations and incentives can be obtained by using the
following link: http://albanyida.com/.
Capitalize Albany Corporation Real Estate Loan Program
Capitalize Albany Corporation is a registered 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization that implements economic development programs and resources to create,
retain, and attract both business and investment in the City of Albany. Capitalize Albany Corporation administers a real estate loan program that provides financing
to qualifying real estate development projects. More information about the Corporation and the loan program can be obtained by using the following link: http://
capitalizealbany.com/.
New York State Regional Economic Development Council Programs
Through the Regional Economic Development Council initiative, a Consolidated Funding Application (CFA) was created to give businesses and other entities
streamlined and expedited access to economic development funding from various State funding agencies. Awards for CFA projects located in the Capital Region
are based on endorsement of the CREDC and the state agency. Since 2011, the Regional Councils have collectively awarded nearly $3 billion to more than 3,100
job-creation and community development projects across the State, supporting the creation or retention of more than 150,000 jobs. Read more about the REDC
programs here: http://regionalcouncils.ny.gov/.

Be of quality and character that is aesthetically and functionally consistent with the existing offices and the States future plans on the
Campus.
Emphasize pedestrian interaction with the existing office buildings on the Campus and provide retail opportunities for Campus employees
who currently have limited options.
Introduce sustainable development initiatives and align with green principles, including incorporating green space and maintaining as many
of the existing mature trees as possible to preserve a perimeter buffer along the Campus ring road.
Minimize traffic disruption by utilizing existing access points with the State-owned Campus ring road. Minimize congestion by maintaining at
least two vehicular access points to the Campus ring road.
Incorporate sufficient parking for the proposed uses.

Have a positive economic effect by demonstrating that the development of the Site will spur the use of private resources, create jobs and
increase the tax base of the City, and include meaningful participation of New York businesses, including small businesses, certified Minorityand Women-Owned Business Enterprises (MWBEs), and certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses (SDVOBs).
*Residential use shall include single- or multi-family dwellings or other dwelling units, apartments or apartment buildings, dormitories or other student housing, boarding or rooming houses,
adult or senior living facilties, or other structures intended to be occupied on a permanent or temporary basis and that include kitchen or cooking facilities. Residential use shall not include

Currently, the suburban Albany submarket

has 60,000 sq. ft. of new construction in
progress. The submarket has been the focus
of new office development in the Capital
Region, with several successful projects
opening during the last three years, including
Patroon Creek, which is located in the Sites
immediate neighborhood and described in
more detail on page 22. Demand for medicaland health-related office space, which often
achieves higher rental rates than general
or professional office space, has been a
significant driver for new development in the
Suburban Albany submarket.

Statement of Limitations.
2. The issuance of this RFP and the submission of a response by any firm or the acceptance of such response by OGS does not obligate OGS in any manner whatsoever. Legal
obligations will only arise upon execution of a formal contract by the OGS and the firm(s) selected by the OGS. Pursuant to Public Lands Law section 33, subdivision 5,
clarifications may be sought from Respondents for purposes of assuring a full understanding of responsiveness to the requirements of this RFP. Revisions may be permitted

2. VENDOR RESPONSIBILITY
OGS will conduct a review of Finalists to provide reasonable assurances that each Respondent is responsive and responsible. A For-Profit Business Entity Questionnaire
(hereinafter Questionnaire) is used for non-construction contracts and is designed to provide information to assess a Respondents responsibility to conduct
business in New York based upon financial and organizational capacity, legal authority, business integrity, and past performance history. By submitting a Proposal,
Respondent agrees to fully and accurately complete the Questionnaire. The Respondent acknowledges that the States execution of a contract will be contingent
upon the States determination that the Respondent is responsible, and that the State will be relying upon the Respondents responses to the Questionnaire when
making its responsibility determination.
OGS recommends each Respondent file the required Questionnaire online via the New York State VendRep System. To enroll in and use the VendRep
System, please refer to the VendRep System Instructions and User Support for Vendors available at the Office of the State Comptrollers (OSC) website,

In order to assist the State in determining the responsibility of the Respondent prior to contract award, the Respondent must complete and certify (or recertify)
the Questionnaire no more than six (6) months prior to the proposal due date. A Respondents Questionnaire cannot be viewed by OGS until the Respondent has
certified the Questionnaire. It is recommended that all Respondents become familiar with all of the requirements of the Questionnaire in advance of the Proposal
due date to provide sufficient time to complete the Questionnaire.
The Designated Developer agrees that if it is awarded an Agreement of Sale the following shall apply:
The Designated Developer shall at all times during the contract term remain responsible. The Designated Developer agrees, if requested by the Commissioner of
OGS, or her designee, to present evidence of its continuing legal authority to do business in New York State, integrity, experience, ability, prior performance, and
organizational and financial capacity.
OGS, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to suspend any or all activities under any Agreement of Sale or other contract, at any time, when it discovers
information that calls into question the responsibility of the Designated Developer. In the event of such suspension, the Designated Developer will be given written
notice outlining the particulars of such suspension. Upon issuance of such notice, the Designated Developer must comply with the terms of the suspension order.
Contract activity may resume at such time as OGS issues a written notice authorizing a resumption of performance under the Agreement of Sale or other contract.
Upon written notice to the Designated Developer, and a reasonable opportunity to be heard with appropriate OGS officials or staff, the Agreement of Sale or
other contract may be terminated by OGS at the Designated Developers expense where the Designated Developer is determined by OGS to be non-responsible.
In such event, OGS may complete the contractual requirements in any manner it may deem advisable and pursue available legal or equitable remedies for breach.
VI
MISCELLANEOUS
In no case shall such termination of the Agreement of Sale or other contract by the State be deemed a breach thereof, nor shall the State be liable for any damages
for lost profits or otherwise, which may be sustained by the Designated Developer as a result of such termination.
3. IRAN DIVESTMENT ACT
By submitting a Proposal in response to this RFP or by entering into an Agreement of Sale or other contract awarded hereunder, Respondent (or any assignee)

Entities List) posted on the OGS website at: http://www.ogs.ny.gov/about/regs/docs/ListofEntities.pdf and further certifies that it will not utilize any subcontractor
that is identified on the Prohibited Entities List.
During the term of the Agreement of Sale or other contract, should OGS receive information that a person (as defined in State Finance Law 165-a) is in violation of
the above-referenced certifications, OGS will review such information and offer the person an opportunity to respond. If the person fails to demonstrate that it has
ceased its engagement in the investment activity which is in violation of the Act within 90 days after the determination of such violation, then OGS shall take such
action as may be appropriate and provided for by law, rule, or contract, including, but not limited to, seeking compliance, recovering damages, or declaring the
Designated Developer or contractor in default.
OGS reserves the right to reject any Proposal, request for assignment, renewal or extension for an entity that appears on the Prohibited Entities list prior to the

5. ENCOURAGING USE OF NYS BUSINESSES NYS MINORITY AND WOMEN OWNED, SERVICE-DISABLED VERERAN OWNED, AND SMALL BUSINESSES
New York State businesses have a substantial presence in State contracts and strongly contribute to the economies of the State and the nation. In recognition of the
economic activity generated by New York State businesses, Respondents to this RFP are strongly encouraged and expected to consider New York State businesses in
the fulfillment of their Proposals to develop the Site. Such partnering may be as subcontractors, consultants, or other supporting roles.
The use of certified Minority- and Women-Owned Business Enterprises (MWBEs) promotes equality of economic opportunity by breaking down barriers to growth for
MWBEs. New Yorks strength lies in the diversity, innovation and entrepreneurship of all its residents, and through the use of MWBEs, that strength is put to work for all
New Yorkers. For more information on New Yorks MWBE program, Respondents are encouraged to visit: http://www.empire.state.ny.us/MWBE.html.
Similarly, the use of certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses (SDVOBs) gives economic opportunity to those New Yorkers that have served
our country and our State and sacrificed for the benefit of us all. For more information on New Yorks SDVOB program, Respondents are encouraged
to visit: http://ogs.ny.gov/Core/SDVOBA.asp.
Small businesses are the heart of the American economy, comprising 98 percent of all businesses in New York and employing more than half of New Yorks private
sector workforce. Innovation, creativity, determination and perseverance are just a few of the essential qualities small business owners demonstrate every day. For more
information on New Yorks small business program, Respondents are encouraged to visit: http://esd.ny.gov/smallbusiness.html.
Public procurements can drive and improve the States economic engine through promotion of the use of New York businesses by its contractors. The State therefore
expects Respondents to provide meaningful participation of New York businesses in their proposed development, especially certified MWBEs, certified SDVOBs, and
small businesses. The potential participation of New York businesses will deliver great value to the State and its taxpayers.
