<br />Page 4 of 9 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />B. Phase 2: “Energy Integration and Resiliency Framework” <br /> <br />Deliverable: a written document entitled “Energy Integration and Resiliency Framework” <br /> <br />Timeline: The document shall be completed by March 31, 2015 <br /> <br />Actions: <br />1. The Contractor shall work with the Energy Integration and Resiliency Committee (EIRC – a <br />committee to be convened by Ramsey County) in the development of the EIRF; the EIRC shall <br />guide the contractor in development of the framework, and provide continuous input as the <br />project proceeds. In the event of any disputes, Ramsey County’s Project Manager shall decide <br />on the matter. <br />2. The contractor shall facilitate one community engagement planning session with stakeholders <br />identified by the EIRC. The purpose of this session is to provide a progress report to <br />stakeholders, and receive input on the development of the framework. <br />3. The contractor shall create an opportunity for community engagement via electronic means. <br />4. Based on the vision statement and goal, as well as the City’s Master Plan, the contractor shall <br />prepare a forecasted energy profile for the site, which shall be an attachment to the Framework <br />document. This profile will map out the site’s likely energy landscape as development emerges, <br />including an inventory of projected future energy use in 5 year increments beginning in year <br />2015 and extending to year 2065. <br />5. The Contractor shall prepare a final “Energy Integration and Resiliency Framework” which will <br />include the following elements: <br />a. The Contractor shall identify and evaluate the efficacy of potential energy supply <br />alternatives available for the TCAAP site, including an assessment of their viability at the <br />site. These alternatives shall include, but not be limited to <br />i. Electrical and natural gas delivery from existing public utilities, <br />ii. Development on-site of renewable energy sources (including at least active and <br />passive solar, geothermal, anaerobic digestion), <br />iii. District energy systems, <br />iv. Microgrids (small‐scale electricity distribution systems that link and coordinate <br />multiple distributed energy resources into a network serving some or all of the <br />energy needs of one or more users located in close proximity), <br />v. Integrated community energy solutions (a cross‐cutting set of community <br />systems that emphasize synergy between multiple sectors, such as energy <br />supply and distribution, housing and buildings, transportation, industry, water, <br />wastewater and solid waste management) , <br />vi. Community energy systems (an integrated approach to supplying community <br />energy requirements from passive and active renewable energy or <br />high‐efficiency sources), and <br />vii. Capture of waste heat or stranded energy from commercial operations. <br />viii. Methods to integrate stormwater and water management on site into energy <br />system design.
