� (_ �, e-,) To Redevelopment Commission From Geri Hathaway, Ignition Park Director Subject Ignition Park - Feasibility Study Combined Cooling, Heating & Power Energy Center Date December 13, 2011 The availability of reliable, redundant, low cost power has been stated as Ignition Park's marketing advantage in the Graham -Allen Partners Feasibility Study and Business Plan. Cloud Computing Data Centers have been highlighted as likely candidates that might be drawn to Ignition Park because of this power advantage. A confirming example is Ignition Park's first lot sale to the private investor Data Realty. To insure that Ignition Park can justify marketing this asset the Phase 1A Infrastructure Design contains more power conduits than would normally be provided. To further protect this power advantage Economic Development requests your approval to study the feasibility of a Combined Cooling, Heating & Power Energy Center at Ignition Park. This study will explore not only the functional and financial viability, but also the public - private ownership options. This Energy Center option is part of BSA LifeStructures overall Master Plan for Ignition Park, to provide the opportunity of power from a cleaner source other than coal. The Feasibility Study iterates the need to be mindful of the Park's existing advantage and to protect that advantage in multiple ways to ensure significant, valuable differentiation of Ignition Park to potential tenants. Economic Development requests your approval of BSA LifeStructures proposal for this study in the amount of $30,800 including reimbursables.
