A revised Appendix A (December 2012). The revised Appendix A has been attached electronically to this notification and shall govern the contract extension. 2. The new Iran Divestment Act requirements detailed below. 3. The extension shall be limited to maintenance offerings. IRAN DIVESTMENT ACT As a result of the Iran Divestment Act of 2012 (Act), Chapter 1 of the 2012 Laws of New York, a new provision has been added to the State Finance Law (SFL), § 165-a, effective April 12, 2012. Under the Act, the Commissioner of the Office of General Services (OGS) will be developing a list (prohibited entities list) of “persons” who are engaged in “investment activities in Iran” (both are defined terms in the law). Pursuant to SFL § 165-a(3)(b), the initial list is expected to be issued no later than 120 days after the Act’s effective date, at which time it will be posted on the OGS website. By entering into a renewal or extension of this Contract, Contractor (or any assignee) certifies that once the prohibited entities list is posted on the OGS website, it will not utilize on such Contract any subcontractor that is identified on the prohibited entities list. Additionally, Contractor understands that during the term of the Contract, should Office of General Services receive information that a person is in violation of the above-referenced certification, Office of General Services will offer the person an opportunity to respond. If the person fails to demonstrate that it has ceased its engagement in the investment which is in violation of the Act within 90 days after the determination of such violation, then Office of General Services shall take such action as may be appropriate including, but not limited to, imposing sanctions, seeking compliance, recovering damages, or declaring the Contractor in default. Office of General Services reserves the right to reject any renewal, extension or request for assignment for an entity that appears on the prohibited entities list hereafter and to pursue a responsibility review with respect to any entity that is granted a contract extension/renewal or assignment and appears on the prohibited entities list thereafter. An extension is also contingent upon the provision of proof of New York State Workers’ Compensation Insurance and Disability Benefits Insurance as explained herein; online Vendor Responsibility Questionnaire requirements as explained herein; and the completion of New York State Department of Taxation and Finance Contractor Certification (ST-220-TD) and Contractor Certification to Covered Agency (ST-220-CA) as explained herein. WORKERS’ COMPENSATION INSURANCE AND DISABILITY BENEFITS REQUIREMENTS: Workers’ Compensation Law (WCL) §57 & §220 requires the heads of all municipal and state entities to ensure that businesses applying for permits, licenses or contracts document it has appropriate workers’ compensation and disability benefits insurance coverage. These requirements apply to both original contracts and renewals, whether the governmental agency is having the work done or is simply issuing the permit, license or contract. Failure to provide proof of such coverage or a legal exemption will result in a rejection of your bid or renewal. 1. Proof of Compliance with Workers’ Compensation Coverage Requirements: An ACORD form is NOT acceptable proof of workers’ compensation coverage. In order to provide proof of compliance with the requirements of the Workers’ Compensation Law pertaining to workers’ compensation coverage, a contractor shall: A) Be legally exempt from obtaining Workers’ Compensation insurance coverage; or B) Obtain such coverage from an insurance carrier; or C) Be a Workers’ Compensation Board-approved self-insured employer or participate in an authorized self- insurance plan.

  • COMMITTEE to SAVE NY
    The 1% COMMITTEE to SAVE NY How a Small Group of Big Business Interests and Billionaires are Hijacking New York State’s Public Policy Agenda on Behalf of the One Percent June 2012 The Public Accountability Initiative is a non-profit, 501(c)3 research and educational organization focused on corporate and government accountability. Kevin Connor, the lead author of this report, can be reached at [email protected]. Table of Contents Executive Summary 1 Who Rules the Committee? 4 Speculation and Bailouts 15 Policy Payoffs 18 Appendix 29 Executive Summary The Committee to Save New York established itself as one of the state’s most powerful lobbying forces in 2011, spending $12 million on a public relations campaign pushing budget cuts and other policy proposals closely aligned with Governor Andrew Cuomo’s agenda – the fifth most costly one-year lobbying effort ever conducted by a single organization in Albany.1 The Committee once again embarked on a massive political spending spree in 2012. Despite its power, much remains unknown about the Committee, which declines to disclose its donor list. Recent press reports have identified several donors, including casino gambling interests. These reports have suggested that the organization acted as a front group for these interests as they pushed to legalize casino gambling in New York State. But much of the money behind the Committee remains in the shadows. This report takes a closer look at the powerful forces behind the Committee and their playbook for “saving” New York. The Committee’s backers are primarily big business interests, billionaires, and other leading lights of New York State’s “one percent.” They played a key role in crashing New York’s economy through their own style of gambling, won billions in government bailouts, but now insist on “fiscal responsibility” for the rest of the state.

  • 11. Choosing to Participate
    11. Choosing to Participate Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope. ROBERT F. KENNEDY OVERVIEW The history of the Weimar Republic provides valuable insights Choosing to Participate, into how and why democracies fail. Chapter 11 looks at what is published by Facing needed for democracy to succeed. Over 140 years ago, History and Ourselves, Abraham Lincoln found one answer in these words: “We hold elaborates on many of these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; the themes developed in this chapter. Some that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable teachers use the book rights; that among these rights are life, liberty, and the pursuit as the basis for a of happiness.” He believed that a society based on those truths citizenship course that should be the goal of every citizen. It was, in his view, a goal stresses community that ought to be “constantly looked to, constantly labored for, involvement and even though never perfectly attained, constantly approximated, volunteerism. and thereby constantly spreading and deepening its influence and augmenting the happiness and value of life to all people of all colors everywhere.” In reflecting on efforts to build democracies in Eastern Europe after the fall of Communism, Czech President Vaclav Havel reached a similar conclusion. He stressed the need for a “civil society” – one that promotes “a climate that would encourage people to act as citizens in the best sense of the word.” Without that climate, democracy cannot survive.

  • Working Together for Peace and Justice in the 21St Century
    KEYNOTE SPEECH TRANSCRIPTS The 1999 Bureau of Justice Assistance National Partnership Meeting Keynote Address—Henry Gardner Managing Partner, Gardner, Underwood, and Bacon About 17 years ago, shortly after I was appointed City Manager of Oakland I was asked if I would provide welcoming remarks for a very large convention. I readily consented. The person presiding was introducing me and during the introduction I became concerned because the introduction was longer than the comments that I had planned to make. And just as that thought occurred to me, the person said I’m very pleased to introduce to you this morning our keynote speaker. I went to the podium and whispered to him that I was not the keynote speaker, that my role was simply to bring greetings. He said, did you not receive our call, he said, our keynote speaker had to cancel and we asked if you would be the keynote speaker. Whereupon I took a deep breath and spoke for 30 minutes. Now I was given more notice than that for this morning but not much. I understand that the designated keynote speaker is a very prominent person here in Washington and one who I’m sure you would have been very pleased to hear from. And so it is your misfortune that I have been designated to speak instead. I thought long about what I would talk about and I had conversations and voice-mail message exchanges with Patrick Coleman. And I looked at the program and I thought what I can I talk about that others are not going to talk about.
