<br />Talent <br />Being only thirty minutes from the heart of Minneapolis/St Paul, Centerville has access to a <br />bountiful market of seasoned IT and engineering talent. From design, build, commissioning, and <br />deployment, both local and regional talent is available. Recent trends allow more workers to <br />operate remotely away from the corporate headquarters, allowing many workers to relocate from <br />the City to suburban markets. This should increase the talent pool for the foreseeable future. <br />Telecommunications Network <br />The site already has three providers willing to come into the site (Comcast, Zayo, and Arvig). All <br />have similar cost models of $1,600-$2,000 per month per 10GB MWave-enabled circuit. All <br />providers can easily ramp up to 100GB and can expand beyond 100GB. <br />Renewable Energy <br />Centerville does not currently have a renewable energy plan, primarily due to the current size and <br />scale of the community. However, city leaders would invite the opportunity to collaborate towards <br />this goal. The City has every intention of creating and implementing a renewable energy strategy <br />when the timing and economics are favorable. It can offer 100% renewable energy credits. <br />Site Risk Assessment <br />Centerville has several weather-related attributes to make the sight attractive. Minnesota is no <br />earthquake risk, is a low risk for moderate to severe tornados, and is a low/moderate risk for lightning. <br />The cooler climate will also provide a minimum of 5,000 hours per year of free cooling. This means that <br />when the outside temperature is under 60 degrees, the mechanical chillers will not be required to cool the <br />data center. This configuration will provide a significant decrease in energy costs. <br /> <br />Figure SA-4: Natural Disaster Maps <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />2020 MTC DCLM DC Model (1) Page 8 of 20 <br /> 2020 Excipio Consulting, LLC.
