Headquarters Campus Project Update
Reevaluation Following last month’s Board meeting, we have been reevaluating current efficiency design vs. LEED levels for the Headquarters campus project. Here’s what has taken place. • Discussions have been held with: • Senior staff • Construction team • Design team • Owners representative • Citizens • Internal evaluations have been conducted
Agenda • Sustainability Process • Building and Site Features • Recommended Enhancements • Site Uniqueness • Cost Updates • Next Steps
Sustainability process The Institute for the Built Environment as well as the City of Fort Collins Integrated Design Assistance Program (IDAP) have been actively engaged in the sustainability process from the beginning of the project. To date, the following concepts have been included: • Providing input and recommendations to the design team • Developing the sustainability guiding principles • Monitoring the LEED program checklist • Actively listening to public input
Current Building Design - Efficiency Features • Daylighting • Low flow water valves and fixtures • Energy usage tracking • Demand Response Programs participation • Efficient mechanical systems (geo- exchange) • High-quality, controllable LED lighting • Enhanced indoor air quality • Acoustical enhancements
Current Building Design – Efficiency Status • Group 14 – Outside Energy Modeling • Current design is 16.3% more efficient than modeled baseline • Mechanical Systems • Significantly more efficient than code • Main building components exceed city code
Recommended Enhancements • Target LEED Silver certification • Approximately $350,000 and 3 months schedule impact • Will include additional incremental sustainability features and enhanced commissioning – still finalizing • Will require additional documentation and materials handling • Incorporate roof-top solar on substation garage, warehouse, and fleet buildings • Self-provide 48% of required electric consumption for site • Work with the city to add additional electric vehicle charging stations • Request renewable tariff from the City of Fort Collins • To ultimately achieve 100% of energy requirement from renewable resources
Board Follow up Site Complexity
Unique Site Features • Transmission control room • Markets and generation control room • SCADA hosting and maintenance on site • Electrical and mechanical redundancies • Microwave tower communications site • Fiber optics infrastructure on site • Utility industry security requirements • NERC critical infrastructure protection requirements • Fleet maintenance • Storm water retention • 24/7/365 operations
Fiber optics infrastructure • 3.1 miles duct • 9.2 miles of outside cabling • ~13 miles of fiber in Estes Park
Cost updates Still finalizing project costs based on subcontractor bids and working through additional value engineering options • Steel prices are a primary cost driver • Cost mitigation actions include issuing a Notice to Proceed for purchase of steel prefabricated out buildings • Value engineering exercise underway to manage project costs • Without impacting quality, appearance or energy efficiency
Next Steps • Agreements on cost, scope and schedule for selected project work: • Site fiber infrastructure installation • Communications building remodel • Continue value engineering process • Continue LEED evaluation process and final selection of additional sustainability strategies

Resource Planning Post-ZNC March 29, 2018
Prior planning efforts used a variety of approaches to evaluate modifications to Platte River’s resource mix • Clean Power Plan (CPP) • The 2016 IRP established expectations for potential CPP legislation and Platte River’s response • Customized Resource Plan (CRP) • Evaluated the separation of Platte River’s system into pools of resources to satisfy differing community objectives • Zero Net Carbon (ZNC) • Evolution of the CRP to evaluate a resource mix where all four municipalities work together toward a carbon-free outcome
