Staff continues to work on the proposed Target Data Center facility. Enclosed is the
following information for your review.
111) 1) Ryan Companies U.S. Inc. request for will-serve letter.
2) Elk River Municipal Utilities will-serve letter.
3) July 19, 2005 correspondence to Great River Energy confirming use of
IStation 14.
4) Aerial map of area reflecting possible underground cable routes from Station
14 and west substation to proposed Target facility.
IStaff is currently in discussion with MNDOT and BNSF Railroad concerning crossing or
I paralleling their facilities. We are also seeking engineering proposals for Substation 14
modifications and mapping of underground cable. Attached is a preliminary sketch of the
proposed Station 14 Substation expansion. Bids will be received on August 30, 2005 for
I 1-15 MVA transformer at Substation West and option to purchase another 15 MVA for
Station 14. Delivery of transformers of this size is in the 20 to 48 week time frame. Staff
is preparing cable bid documents for 120,000 LF of 1000 MCM URD EPR cable. I will
I have a sample of this cable at our board meeting. We continue to meet with Ryan/Target
personnel concerning technical electrical issues for this facility. We anticipate
authorization to proceed with our phase of this project on September 15, 2005. It is staffs
I intent to do as much preliminary work as we can so we are ready to proceed when given
the go ahead.

RE: Request for Will-Serve Letter VIA FACSIMILE (763) 441-8099
Dear Bryan,
' Ryan Companies US, Inc. is working on behalf of Proposed Data Center to gather preliminary
information for a proposed Data Center The proposed site is located in the vicinity of the
intersection of Waco Street & Co. Rd 30 in Elk River, Minnesota. A proposed site plan is enclosed
for reference.
The facility will be a two-story building with a 160,000 total gross square footage footprint, included
45,000 SF on the second floor. The building will be used to house computers that are used to store
and process data. Due to the high concentration of computer hardware, a portion of the building
will be cooled by re-circulated cooling water. This use also requires a high demand for sanitary and
' electrical power. The proposed Data Center will have a relatively small number of employees;
therefore, domestic utility consumption is minor.
' The proposed Data Center requires "will-serve" letters from utility providers as part of their
operational analysis of a site. These letters are to list the specific utility requirements that can or
cannot be met for each utility. Ryan Companies US, Inc. is responsible for determining the location,
' size and available capacities of existing services. We are also required to indicate all proposed city
improvements, critical dates affecting development, cost sharing potentials, and cost efficient design
' alternatives. Additionally, we are trying to verify all required new easements and all existing
easements that should be vacated. As the developer, Ryan Companies US, Inc. makes all of the
preliminary arrangements for all permanent utilities.
' The general requirements are that all site utilities, except gas, are installed within 5 feet of the
building wall at the locations designated on the building plan. Gas is installed within the building
' wall perimeter at the location designated on the Data Center building plan. All utilities with the
exception of electrical power, will installed parallel to a building wall shall be not les than 10 feet
from the face of the wall. The proposed Data Center makes all final connections from the building
to the site utilities.

The proposed Data Center requires the following:
A. Electrical
I
A. Provide rate information to The Data Center for primary service:
1. Total load of 8,884 Kw/10,452 KVA, 0.85 power factor. Service for this I
load will be required by August 2006 for commissions of the data center.
B. Provide Two 15KV Nominal service to a disconnect location on site. I
Conduit from the property line to the disconnect location will be provided by the
I
owner.
B. Water I The Data Center requires its own meter. A 3" domestic water connection to the
building with a water meter is installed. Please verify the location of the meter
(inside or outside the building, on building or in exterior vault) and if branch from
4111
water main is inside or outside of the building or if a separate tap is required. The
Data Center determines size of meter on site-specific water pressure. The Data
Center will be responsible for the meter if located inside the building. t
Total Domestic use average (excluding site irrigation) is 137,000 gallons per day.
This includes a peak flow of 142 GPM (204,480 gallons per day) or average flow
I
of 95 GPM (136,800 gallons per day) to the cooling towers. These are estimated
values. The cooling tower blow down rates will depend on the quality of the
water serving the site.
I
Domestic use for occupants will require a peak flow of 60 GPM (86,400 gallons
per day), and an average flow of 900 gallons per day.
I
Target's fire flow requirements are 1270 GPM peak flow with activation of a dry
I
sprinkler system and a hose to extinguish the fire.
Please verify the location of the meter (inside or outside the building, on building
I
or in exterior vault) and if branch from water main is inside or outside of the
building or if a separate tap is required. The Data Center determines size of meter
on site-specific water pressure.

' Subject: Will-Serve Letter
Dear Lee;
We acknowledge receipt of your correspondence dated July 11, 2005 concerning utility
service to your proposed facility. The Elk River Municipal Utilities is the water and
1111 electric provider for this area of Elk River.
The municipal water system has adequate supply and distribution capacity to meet the
' needs reflected in the above referenced letter. The water meter is of utility ownership and
located inside the facility. This meter will be radio read on a monthly basis. We will
need access to this meter for calibration and maintenance on an annual basis. With an
assumed 3" meter, a by-pass loop will be required to facilitate meter maintenance. You
will also have an un-metered service for your fire protection system. The connection fee
will be the WAC fee of$1700/unit plus the cost of the water meter. The number of
WAC units will be determined by the building and zoning department using Met Council
guidelines. The Elk River Municipal Utilities will loop the water main from the
southeast property corner going east along Co. Rd. 30 to the existing l0"/DIP. There is
an 10" DIP water main on the north edge of your proposed property line.
' After some electric system enhancements, the Elk River Municipal Utilities can satisfy
your electrical capacity and energy requirements as reflected in your July 11, 2005
correspondence. This will include normal and first contingency service from two electric
' feeders from different distribution substations. The system enhancements include
construction of 2-13 MVA underground electric feeders and modifications to two
existing substations. The two electric feeders will be constructed on either utility owned
11111 land or public right of way. If notice to proceed is given by September 15, 2005, full
service from the two substations can be provided by mid November 2006. Service
voltage will be at 12.47 KV.
I
The Elk River Municipal Utilities policy for commercial/industrial customers is for the 11/1
customer to fund one half of the costs of the added infrastructure to support their facility.
Because the proposed site is already served by an electric feeder (although not large I
enough) there would be no contribution requested except for one half of metering facility
costs. This cost is estimated to be in the $15,000 range depending on the final metering I arrangement. Because you desire to have a second full capacity feeder from another
substation, this is beyond our normal service provided. A contribution of one half of this
feeder cost would be required. This cost is in the $375,000 range. The funds to make the I necessary system enhancements would come from bond proceeds which will be paid by
electric sales revenues. The bond underwriters will require some form of assurance that
adequate electric revenues will be derived from this project to secure the bond payments.
I
We ask your cooperation in providing whatever form of assurance they may require.
We look forward to working with you to the successful completion of your project.
I

' Subject: Distribution Substation Expansion
Station #14
' Dear Dave:
This letter is confirming our conversation on 7-18-05 with you, Cassie Polman, Jerry
t Takle, and me concerning the possible expansion of a distribution substation at station
#14. The Elk River Municipal Utilities (ERMU) has a large electric use customer desiring
to locate in Elk River. This customer desires a source of electric feed from two different
Ile substations. Our analysis indicated that expanding station #14 with another 69KV / 12.47
KV transformer on the east 69KV bus is the best solution. All agrees to move in this
direction with GRE's full support and approval.
' GRE is upgrading this substation in the late 2005 to mid 2006 time frame. GRE will
incorporate a 600 amp minimum 69 KV switch at the north end of the east 69 KV bus.
ERMU using USG as their engineers will design, purchase the necessary materials, and
construct the distribution substation which will be operational by fall of 2006. USG will
coordinate their work with your engineers.
1 If you have any questions about the above, do not hesitate to call.
