June 25,2012 ---PAGE BREAK--- • Add value to greatest amount of property with an efficient extension of the public infrastructure • Make available a series of “shovel ready” and “business-ready” sites. • Create a source of community pride and build upon Laramie’s community values Now is the time to act! June 25,2012 ---PAGE BREAK--- During the last four years 37 high tech firms were not able to expand or relocate to Laramie. Ex: Microsoft’s new location in Cheyenne “We are very pleased to welcome Microsoft to our community… I believe that this announcement, once again, illustrates how important it is to have property available and ready for economic development.” – Randy Bruns, CEO, Cheyenne LEADS Development “Laramie has advantages that, in our opinion, make it the best data center location in Wyoming from the standpoint of operating costs, fiber optics, geography, and talent availability.” - Gary Crum, LEDC 2011/2012 Board Chair June 25,2012 ---PAGE BREAK--- - PLANNING INFLUENCES June 25,2012 ---PAGE BREAK--- : Laramie River to 45th Street PRINCIPAL ARTERIAL (PARKWAY) SECONDARY ARTERIAL COMMERCIAL COLLECTOR June 25,2012 ---PAGE BREAK--- : Laramie River to 45th Street PRINCIPAL ARTERIAL (PARKWAY) SECONDARY ARTERIAL COMMERCIAL COLLECTOR June 25,2012 ---PAGE BREAK--- Cirrus Sky Technology Park (Coughlin Property) June 25,2012 Phase 1 ---PAGE BREAK--- Longhaul Preferred Fiber Routes June 25,2012 ---PAGE BREAK--- Preferred Fiber Routes June 25,2012 ---PAGE BREAK--- Preferred Fiber Routes June 25,2012 ---PAGE BREAK--- Preferred Fiber Routes Select Fiber Routes Route Location High Case Best Case Pre-Plan Only Case 1 Route #1 - Level 3 Hut South Route to Site - Could be Part of Route 9, if 9 is built $ 543,223 $ 484,615 $ 271,119 3 Route 3 North site to 287/30 N past Warren Ranch Rd to Howell Rd & UPRR $ 752,900 $ 586,664 $ 64,350 4 Route 4 North Site N on Rogers Canyon to Haul Rd $ 474,659 $ 367,485 $ 31,389 7 Route 7 - Alternate to Rt 5 - Airport to North Site $ 1,149,823 $ 922,797 $ 84,370 8 Route 8A West of Airport to Country Club Driveway $ 438,977 $ 365,446 $ 70,313 9 Route 9 Country Club driveway to North Laramie Site $ 778,740 $ 617,260 $ 86,205 $ 4,138,324 $ 3,344,271 $ 607,748 June 25,2012 ---PAGE BREAK--- Infrastructure Phasing June 25,2012 ---PAGE BREAK--- Infrastructure Phasing June 25,2012 ---PAGE BREAK--- Cirrus Sky Technology Park Cost Estimate Phase I Future All Phases Area ac 162 1974 2136 Total Streets Improvements $1,320,244 $7,763,067 $9,083,311 Total Sanitary Sewer Improvements $356,200 $2,223,825 $2,580,025 Total Water Improvements $976,000 $3,653,880 $4,629,880 Total Drainage Improvements $242,813 $3,002,500 $3,245,313 Total Franchise Utility Improvements $ - $ - $ - Subtotal of Improvements $2,895,257 $16,643,272 $19,538,529 Engineering/Survey/Geotech (10%) $289,526 $1,664,327 $1,953,853 Construction Staking/Testing $86,858 $499,298 $586,156 Mobilization (LS) $144,763 $832,164 $976,926 Contingency (LS) (10%) $289,526 $1,664,327 $1,953,853 Total Improvements $3,705,929 $21,303,388 $25,009,317 Infrastructure Phasing June 25,2012 ---PAGE BREAK--- Development Vision: POWER June 25,2012 ---PAGE BREAK--- It is our opinion that only an ESA and perhaps an EMPA study will be needed • Preliminary discussions with Rocky Mountain Power indicate that an initial power study (ESA) would be: – RMP = $30,000 – 3 to 4 months to complete – WAPA = $50,000 – could take up to 9 months to complete – Total cost for the ESA for both RMP and WAPA could be about $80,000 • The Secondary power engineering “agreement” Engineering, Materials and Procurement Agreement (EMPA) would only be needed when a technology company needing more than 4 MW has selected the site. – RMP = $30,000 to $45,000 – 3 to 4 months to complete – WAPA = $50,000 to $75,000 – could take up to 6 to 12 months to complete – Total cost for both RMP and WAPA for the EMPA would be about $80,000 to $120,000. Development Vision: POWER June 25,2012 ---PAGE BREAK--- Development Vision: POWER June 25,2012 ---PAGE BREAK--- • Rocky Mountain Power Local Distribution Route – Bisecting the Southeast Quadrant of the Property. • Rocky Mountain Power currently has two distribution level (13.2kV) power lines running adjacent to the north boundary of the property and one (under ROW agreement) which bisects the south east quadrant of the property. – These lines are much lower to the ground than the major transmission lines and would not allow for use of the land underneath the lines. – This would effectively restrict sizing any parcels to less than 20 to 25 acres which would not be the best use of the land as shown on following slide • We met with Rocky Mountain Power on site and discussed options. – We discovered that we would be looking at relocating between 25 and 30 poles – We decided upon a route that would NOT run along the cliff edge for aesthetic purposes. • We also confirmed that Optimum (Bresnan Cable) currently has fiber and/or Coax cable collocated on the same RMP poles that need to be relocated.
