Phase 1 - The Room facilitate access to site
The first phase of the project is the construction of the Room and Sculpture Court, an open-air structure
formed from large blocks of granite stone, at the Southern tip of Roosevelt Island. July 2009 marks the
beginning of sitework preparations, including modifications to the existing roads to facilitate access to the
construction area, excavation, and installation of structural supports and foundations. In November 2009,
granite stone will be delivered via barge and erected on site through February 2010 to form the "Room".
Work in the Spring and early summer of 2010 will include finish sitework and finish stone installation for
the completion of Phase I - The Room and Sculpture Court.

Upon completion of Phase I with the construction of the "Room", work continues with shoreline sitework
and foundation installation along both the East and West shorelines, progressing from South to North. * Work proceeds from South to North
Perimeter granite capstones as well as shoreline rip-rap will clearly define the perimeter of the Four (sitework, foundations, capstones)

Phase 3 - Finish Promenades, Monumental Stair, and Landscaped Garden

The final phase of the project involves all remaining finish stone work including promenade granite paving,
installation of sloped granite, and interior finish capstones. Landscaping will consist of two allees of trees
along the East and West perimeters surrounding the Lawn. Five large Copper Beech trees will be installed
just to the North of the Monumental Stair which mark the Entrance to the Four Freedoms Park. This work
will again proceed from South to North from March 2011 to January 2012.

The finished project will include the Monumental Stair, East and West perimeter paved promenades, and
two allees of trees flanking the great Lawn - all culminating in the forecourt promenade and the "Room"
at the southernmost end of the Island, offering magnificent views of Manhattan, Queens, and Brooklyn.
EXHIBIT 8 - Logistics of Delivery and Setting of Stone

While interdependent, each major component of the Park has its own series of challenges and
demands specific types of construction equipment and building methodologies that must be logically
sequenced and coordinated so as not to disturb finished work, disrupt building process, increase
cost, or impede progress.

Phase 1 – The ‘Room’

The ‘Room,’ defined on three sides by 6’ x 6’ x 12’ high granite “columns,” requires a carefully implemented
sequence of steps to deliver and erect the components. The granite blocks for the walls of the ‘Room’ each
weigh 36 tons, not including the weight of a delivery truck. Due to the maximum weight limitation of 36 tons
on the bridge connecting Roosevelt Island to Queens, this granite must be barged to the site.

The current shipping route requires a deck barge be used to transport the stone along the ocean route from
the north to Roosevelt Island. We anticipate the stone will arrive at Roosevelt Island in November 2009.

Just before the arrival of the granite, a 330-ton crane will be delivered to the site via barge and lifted on to
the island with the use of a floating crane mounted on that barge. The 330-ton crane will be assembled on
the southern end of the island in the area of the ‘Room.’ This 330-ton crane will be used to move the granite
from the staging area and to set the large stones in place. At maximum lifting capacity, this crane has a reach
of approximately 100 feet. [Exhibit 8a: Crane and Barge Specifications]

The floating crane will stay to meet the stone barge, unload the granite blocks for the ‘Room,’ and place them
in the designated stone staging areas. When all of the stone has been unloaded, the stone barge and floating
crane will leave, and the 330-ton crane will begin setting the stone in its final location.

The barges will anchor temporarily in the East Channel as close to the eastern edge of the island as allowable.
The rock outcropping off the southern tip of the island prevents staging the work in that area.

Upon completion of the setting of the stone for the Room, the 330-ton crane will be disassembled and
removed from the site, and work will continue with Phase 2 and Phase 3.

Phases 2 and 3 – Stone for the Paved Promenades and Landscaped Garden
The stone to be used in Phases 2 and 3 is smaller blocks of granite, which can be trucked to the site via the
bridge from Queens to Roosevelt Island. While these blocks are smaller than those for the ‘Room,’ they do
require the use of a crane for setting. A smaller 35-ton crane will perform this work. This crane can be driven
to the island via the bridge, and will move around the site as necessary to install the larger stones that are
part of Phases 2 and 3, finish capstones, sloped granite, stair treads, etc.

* At the September 11, 2008 RIOC Board meeting, we faced an October 31, 2008 deadline, set by
the quarry company, to qualify to purchase the granite for a price quoted in October 2007. Before we
finalized the sale, the quarry company reorganized and withdrew the October 2007 offered price and
would not honor the agreement. This development means we are now competitively bidding the stone.
The economic downturn enables us to negotiate a very good price.

The quarrying and fabrication of the granite is a long lead-time item (it needs to be ordered well in
advance). In order to begin construction later this year and stay on schedule, it is essential to place the
order for granite before the end of February.
