 AN ACT relating to authorizing the state university of New York at Stony
   Brook to lease certain lands for the purpose of constructing a facili-
   ty to support research and development to address the  national  semi-
   conductor  chip  shortage  and  related  environmental  sustainability
   issues
 
   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section  1. Legislative findings. The legislature finds that the State
 University of New York  at  Stony  Brook  ("Stony  Brook")  created  the
 Research  and Development Park in order to support the cross-pollination
 of ground-breaking research and cutting edge technology in  the  private
 sector to benefit the students, faculty and staff as well as the broader
 community. Now, Stony Brook has determined there is an opportunity for a
 private  entity  to construct an additional facility in the Research and
 Development Park, which would provide needed  additional  facilities  to
 support  the research and development needs of faculty, staff, students,
 and the community and seeks to use approximately 8  acres  of  underuti-
 lized  land  on  Stony  Brook's Research and Development Park to build a
 facility to address these research and development  needs,  as  well  as
 engage in its private commercial research, development and manufacturing
 of  tools to fabricate semiconductor chips, other memory storage devices
 or any future technology developed to hold data for later retrieval. The
 private entity, which provides new technology to aid in the  manufacture
 of  semiconductor  chips,  would address the national semiconductor chip
 shortage and related environmental sustainability issues,  fulfilling  a
 necessary  and  vital state and federal public purpose.  The legislature
 further finds that granting the trustees of the State University of  New
 York  the  authority  and  power to lease and otherwise contract to make
 available grounds and facilities of the campus of the  State  University
 of  New  York  at  Stony Brook available in this manner will ensure such
 land is utilized for the benefit of  Stony  Brook  and  the  surrounding
 community.

 taining  and  operating  a  facility to engage in its private commercial
 research, development and  manufacturing  purposes,  while  additionally
 providing  dedicated  space which will support the research and develop-
 ment needs of faculty, staff, students, and  the  community,  which  may
 include  supporting  services to address the national semiconductor chip
 shortage and related environmental sustainability issues. Such lease  or
 contract  shall  be  for  a period not exceeding one hundred (100) years

 tions determined by such trustees, subject to the approval of the direc-
 tor  of  the  division of the budget, the attorney general and the state

 in this act, such lease or contract shall immediately terminate and  the
 real  property  and  any  improvements thereon shall revert to the State
 University of New York. Any lease or contract entered into  pursuant  to
 this  act  shall  provide  that the real property that is the subject of
 such lease or contract and any improvements thereon shall revert to  the

 lease. The allocation of any and all  proceeds  related  to  the  leases
 authorized by this act shall be subject to approval by the state univer-
 sity trustees.
   §  3. Any contract or lease entered into pursuant to this act shall be
 deemed to be a state contract for purposes of article 15-A of the execu-
 tive law, and any contractor, subcontractor, lessee or sublessee  enter-
 ing into such contract or lease for the construction, demolition, recon-
 struction, excavation, rehabilitation, repair, renovation, alteration or
 improvement  authorized  pursuant  to  this  act shall be deemed a state
 agency for the purposes of article 15-A of the executive law and subject
 to the provisions of such article.
   § 4. Notwithstanding any general, special or  local  law  or  judicial
 decision  to the contrary, all work performed on a project authorized by
 this act where all or any portion thereof involves a lease or  agreement
 for  construction,  demolition,  reconstruction,  excavation,  rehabili-
 tation, repair, renovation, alteration or improvement  shall  be  deemed
 public work and shall be subject to and performed in accordance with the
 provisions  of  article 8 of the labor law to the same extent and in the
 same manner as a contract of the state,  and  compliance  with  all  the
 provisions  of  article  8  of  the  labor  law shall be required of any
 lessee, sublessee, contractor or subcontractor on the project, including
 the enforcement of prevailing wage requirements by the fiscal officer as

 state  worker  or  the  loss of position (including partial displacement
 such as reduction in the hours of nonovertime, wages or employment bene-
 fits), or result in the impairment of existing contracts for services or
 collective  bargaining rights pursuant to existing agreements. All posi-
 tions currently at the state university of New York in the  unclassified
 service  of  the  civil  service  law  shall  remain in the unclassified
 service. No services or work performed in the space used by or  for  the
 research  of faculty, staff and students of Stony  Brook on the property
 described in this act currently performed by public employees or  future
 work  that  is  similar  in scope and nature to the work being currently
 performed by public employees shall be contracted out or  privatized  by
 the  state  university of New York or by an affiliated entity or associ-
 ated entity of the state university of New York. All  such  future  work
 shall  be  performed  by  public  employees.  Nothing  herein  shall  be

 local  law  or  judicial decision to the contrary: the ground lessee may
 require a contractor awarded  a  contract,  subcontract,  lease,  grant,
 bond,  covenant or other agreement for a project to enter into a project
 labor agreement during and for the work involved with such project  when
 such  requirement  is  part of the ground lessee's request for proposals
 for the project and when the state university of New York at Stony Brook
 determines that the record supporting the decision to enter into such an
 agreement establishes that  the  interests  underlying  the  competitive
 bidding laws are best met by requiring a project labor agreement includ-
 ing  obtaining  the  best  work at the lowest possible price; preventing
 favoritism, fraud and corruption; the impact of delay;  the  possibility
 of cost savings; and any local history of labor unrest.
   (b)  If  the  state  university  of  New  York at Stony Brook does not
 require a project labor agreement, then any  contractor,  subcontractor,
 lease,  grant, bond, covenant or other agreements for a project shall be
 awarded pursuant to section 135 of the state finance law.
   § 8. Nothing in this act shall be deemed to waive or impair any rights

 New  York  pursuant  to  article  14  of the civil service law; all work
 performed on such property in the spaces used by or for the research  of
 the  faculty, staff and students of Stony Brook that ordinarily would be

 or private, unsecured or secured (including, but not limited to, secured
 by leasehold mortgages and assignments of  rents  and  leases),  by  the
 ground  lessee  and  parties  contracting with the ground lessee for the
 purposes of completing the project described in this act.
   § 10. Such lease shall include  an  indemnity  provision  whereby  the
 lessee  or sublessee promises to indemnify, hold harmless and defend the
 lessor against all claims, suits, actions, and liability to all  persons
 on  the leased premises, including tenant, tenant's agents, contractors,
 subcontractors, employees, customers, guests,  licensees,  invitees  and
 members of the public, for damage to any such person's property, whether

   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-

   Section 1. Legislative findings. The legislature finds that the  state
 university  of  New  York  at  Stony  Brook  ("Stony Brook") created the
 Research and Development Park in order to support the  cross-pollination
 of  ground-breaking  research and cutting edge technology in the private

 Veeco  to  construct an additional facility in the Research and Develop-

 address these research and development needs, as well as engage  in  its
 private  commercial  research, development and manufacturing of tools to
