Van Milligen, City Manager SUBJECT: Lease of Property to Interstate Power and Light Co. for Construction of Solar Array DATE: September 16, 2016 Greater Dubuque Development Corporation Sustainable Innovations Consultant David Lyons requests the City Council approve a lease with Interstate Power and Light Company for approximately 21.14 acres of property recently acquired by the City of Dubuque near the Dubuque Industrial Center West north of Humke Road and west of Seippel Road for construction of a solar array. Greater Dubuque Development and the City of Dubuque have partnered to develop Sustainable Innovations. The mission of Sustainable Innovations is to create, foster and prioritize the integration of the best opportunities to improve the sustainability and resiliency of Greater Dubuque with the best opportunities for continued economic growth and improved quality of life. It collaborates with the City of Dubuque's Sustainable Dubuque activities, it builds on the work of Greater Dubuque Development's private sector initiatives, expands the private and public sector expertise available to analyze and recommend action on the region's best opportunities and engages all sectors of the community to educate, advocate and innovate. An early focus of Sustainable Innovations has been on energy. The vast majority of Dubuque energy is now imported and continues to come primarily from sources such as coal and oil ... therefore providing a fertile area for improved economic, environmental and quality of life outcomes. Upon analysis, the top three priority areas for action were Energy Efficiency, Solar Energy Development and Biogas. Regarding solar energy an extensive effort is underway to create a comprehensive strategy for pursuing its development in Dubuque. The initial goals outlined for the solar strategy include, but are not limited to: • Increased economic activity for Dubuque from local energy production. • Support from the incumbent electric utility (Alliant Energy) for solar innovation and investment in Dubuque. • Reduction of barriers and soft-costs for local solar developers. • Creation of green power that is priced so that the City can achieve its 50% by 2030 reductions without paying a premium over market. • Keep Dubuque in its national leadership position on sustainability and "boost the brand" for retention and recruitment of industry and workforce. Pursuant to those goals, Greater Dubuque Development and the City undertook to engage Alliant Energy to bring their significant expertise, infrastructure and financial capacity to the developing Dubuque solar effort. Alliant Energy would like to create the largest solar development in any Iowa community. As part of this project Alliant proposes to lease approximately 21 .14 acres of property owned by the City of Dubuque and is part of the City's newly acquired land near the Dubuque Industrial Center West north of Humke Road and west of Seippel Road. Due to the topography of this property, it is not practical to grade this area for industrial development. The proposed term of the lease is 25 years, with five year renewals thereafter by mutual agreement of the parties. The lease payment will be $7,700 annually, due on the 1 st of December each year. I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council approval. �1 t 64�- Mic ael C.

SUBJECT: Lease of property to Alliant Energy for construction of solar array Schmid Innovation Center DATE: August 29,2016 900 JacksonDubuque, St.5200109 Dubuque,IA,52001 www.greaterdabuque.org BACKGROUND Greater Dubuque Development and the City of Dubuque have partner ed to develop Sustainable Innovations. The mission of Sustainable Innovations is to create,foster and prioritize the integration ofthebest opportunities to improve the sustainability, and resiliency of Greater Dubuque with thebest opportunities for continued economic growth and improved quality of life It collaborates with the City of Dubuque's Sustainable Dubuque activities,it builds on the work of Greater Dubuque Development's private sector initiatives,expands the private and public sector expertise available to analyze and recommend action on the region's best opportunities and engages all sectors of the community to educate, advocate and innovate An early focus of Sustainable Innovations has been on energy. The vast majority of Dubuque energy is now imported and continues to come primarily from sources such as coal and oil ... therefore providing a fertile area for improved economic, environmental and quality of life outcomes. Upon analysis,the top three priority areas for action were Energy Efficiency, Solar Energy Development and Biogas. Regarding solar energy an extensive effort is underway to create a comprehensive strategy for pursuing its development in Dubuque The initial goals outlined for our solar strategy include,but are not limited to: • Increased economic activity for Dubuque from local energy production. • Supportfrom the incumbent electric utility (Alliant Energy)for solar innovation and investment in Dubuque • Reduction ofbarriers and soft-costs for local solar developers. • Creation of green power that is priced so that the City can achieve its 50%by 2030 reductions without paying a premium over market • Keep Dubuque in its national leadership position on sustainability and"boost the brand"for retention and recruitment of industry and workforce. DISCUSSION Pursuant to those goals, Greater Dubuque Development and the City undertook to engage Alliant Energy to bring their significant expertise,infrastructure and financial capacity to the developing Dubuque solar effort After extensive discussions we were successful in creating engagement and interest from Alliant Energy in the forth of the largest solar development in any Iowa community. As part of this project Alliant proposes to lease approximately 21.14 acres of property owned by the City of Dubuque and is part of the City's newly acquired land near the Dubuque Industrial Center West north of Humke Road and west of Seippel Road.The property is part of Subarea F in the Amended and Restated Urban Renewal Plan for the Dubuque Industrial Center Economic Development District Urban Renewal Area. Due to the topography ofthis property, it is not practical to grade this area for industrial development The proposed term of the lease is 25 years,with five year renewals thereafter by mutual agreement ofthe parties. The lease payment will be$7,700 annually, due on the l st ofDecember each year. The lease contains a 3%per year automatic escalator. This amount will exceed the present lease payments City is presently receiving on the property. Alliant Energy will be responsible for all maintenance, stewardship,utilities, security,taxes and improvements. The City agrees not to erect anything on adjacent land that could cause a shadow on the property. BUDGETIMPACT The lease would generate$7,700 annually for the City of Dubuque,with a 3%increase per annum. RECOMMENDATION The development of this property for a solar array will meet the goals of local energy production,local economic growth, affordable"green"power, and a reduction in the green-house gas footprint of the community. Given the topographical limitations of this property for industrial use, a lease generating income for the City and moving it toward obtaining its goal of 50%by 2030 is a positive use for this City asset ACTION REQUESTED I would respectfully request your review and approval of the attached lease and exhibits and would ask that you for information to the Dubuque City Council with a recommendation for their approval and execution of the lease E, Thank you.

The staff member should be an Iowa professional engineer or geologist, with at least 5 years experience in completing similar investigations. 3.1.2 Scheduling After the preliminary field check the scope of work for the project should be defined on a tentative basis. The Geotechnical Engineer shall send in writing a work plan and schedule for the completion of the field work and the date when the complete geotechnical report and profile will be transmitted to the Owner's representative. Immediately after the preliminary boring location plan is approved, if it appears that the aforementioned schedule must be altered during the progress of the work, the Geotechnical Engineer shall send in writing to Owner's representative the revised schedule and a statement explaining the reasons for the schedule change. 3.1.3 Field Supervision During the boring and sampling phase, work shall be organized such that the Geotechnical Engineer will provide any and all required supervision of the drilling crew. 3.1.4 Maintaining Records The Geotechnical Engineer shall maintain records to reflect the running total of work accomplished for all items of work, including testing, as the work progresses. These records shall be up to date and available for inspection by Owner at all times. 3.2 LOCATION AND DEPTH OF BORINGS 3.2.1 General This Section is to be used as a guide in planning the boring program. It is not the intent that the location, boring interval, and depth specified herein be rigidly adhered to. The Geotechnical Engineer shall make use of available soils and geologic maps, water well records, reports, publications, aerial photographs, and other reference material which are available to prepare a preliminary boring program. Borings shall be located at the preliminary locations as indicated on maps of the prospective sites by the Owner, but then be selectively located during a field check attended by the Geotechnical Engineer and Owner's representative or an appointed representative. The actual location, spacing, and depth of borings shall be dictated by the soil boring plan, topography, geologic conditions, visible soil conditions, design considerations, and is ultimately the responsibility of the Geotechnical Engineer. The Geotechnical Engineer shall use good engineering judgment if HDR 02 3200 - Geotechnical Investigation 20160217 023200 Geotechnical Investigation_Greenfield_Rev.O.docx Page 8 of 17 Interstate Power and Light IPL Solar Geotechnical Investigation - Graf Farm Industrial Site (Greenfield Site) Specification: 257789-2SC-M 0101 Issue: For Bid Section Revision: 0 deviation from the soil boring plan is needed based on the above conditions and shall notify Owner of any changes. 3.2.2 Depth of Exploration Borings should extend through any unsuitable or questionable foundation materials and sufficiently deep into stable soils that the potential for settlement from compression of that layer or that the deeper underlying soils is determined. If deep excavations are required for expected equipment or building loads, the explorations should be carried to at least 1.5 times the depth of the excavation in order to locate and determine groundwater levels in any aquifers that may exist below the level of excavation or geological anomalies. This is necessary to design a dewatering system that may be required in such deep excavations and to avoid heave or disturbance to the bottom of the excavations. 3.2.3 Spacing and Number of Borings The selection of sample type and frequency is determined by soil conditions and requirements of the structure and is ultimately the responsibility of the Geotechnical Engineer. Reference Appendix 2 for proposed boring locations. If soil conditions vary appreciably from place to place, more closely spaced borings will be required and the Geotechnical Engineer shall notifiy the Owner immediately that more tests are required. No additional samples can be taken without Owner approval. The number and spacing must be determined by engineering judgment as the work progresses. There should be a sufficient number to determine the stratification and interrelation of the soils to the extent economically feasible. The exploration should be conducted considering the requirements of the planned equipment and structures. All soil data necessary for the selection and conceptual design of foundations must be obtained. 3.2.4 Guidelines for Subsurface Investigations At the time of this preliminary geotechnical investigation, the types and locations of foundations required are not yet known. The geotechnical report shall be written to provide information for both shallow and deep foundations based on Owner -furnished data. With the above general concepts in mind, the following guidelines for location and depth of borings shall be followed. The sampling frequency of the borings shall be every 2.5 feet intervals to 25 feet. If deeper exploration is needed, sample at five feet intervals to 50 feet and at 10 feet intervals thereafter. The borings shall be extended until sufficient information has been obtained to complete the settlement analysis. Groundwater measurements shall be obtained during and end of sampling at each boring location. Additional measurements shall be performed the following day or later within each borehole where applicable. If any hazardous materials are encountered or site conditions vary from expectation, Engineer shall seek direction from Owner via a request for information (RFI); absolutely no changes to the base scope will be allowed without written acceptance by the Owner. The above guidelines are for routine foundation investigations. They may be modified as necessary to meet the needs of this project subject to Owner concurrence. 3.3 BORING AND SAMPLING 3.3.1 Standard Penetration Tests Generally, all borings in soil should be performed with split -spoon sampling. Samples should be taken at two -and -one -half -foot intervals for the upper 25 feet. If deeper exploration is required then sample at five foot intervals thereafter up to 50, then at 10 feet intervals to depth of exploration. HDR 02 3200 - Geotechnical Investigation 20160217 023200 Geotechnical Investigation Greenfield Rev.O.docx Page 9 of 17 Interstate Power and Light IPL Solar Geotechnical Investigation - Graf Farm Industrial Site (Greenfield Site) Specification: 257789-2SC-M 0101 Issue: For Bid Section Revision: 0 Split -spoon samples shall be obtained with the standard spoon of 2 inches O.D. and 1-3/8 inches I.D., driven with a 140 -pound hammer, dropped 30 inches. The number of blows of the drop hammers to drive the spoon 18 inches, measured in 6 -inch increments, shall be recorded. The penetration resistance, or N -value, shall be as defined in ASTM D1586, and is normally the number of blows to drive the sampler the last 12 inches after an initial set of 6 inches. 3.3.2 Split -Spoon Samples At least one and preferably two jar samples approximately five inches long shall be obtained from each spoon for laboratory examination and/or testing. Care shall be taken to keep the jar samples as intact as possible. The samples shall be immediately placed in sealed glass containers to prevent loss of moisture. 3.3.3 Sample Handling All of the samples should be delivered to the Geotechnical Engineer's laboratory for representative classification tests and other tests as required. All samples shall be retained by the Geotechnical Engineer for at least 90 days after final acceptance of the Geotechnical Report during which time the Owner's representative may request that all or part of the samples be held for additional time. 3.3.4 Sample Identification All laboratory samples shall be identified to show sample number, project number, boring number, depth below ground surface, and were applicable: blow count for each 6- inch interval structure number, road number, county, and Undisturbed samples should, in addition, have a description of the soil. Also see Section 3.3 - Boring and Sampling and 3.6 - Field Record. 3.3.5 Groundwater Readings and Backfilling Bore Holes After the 24-hour groundwater level has been measured and all other observations, records, and information have been obtained, the holes shall be filled in such a manner as to prevent a hazard. Borings drilled through existing pavement should be suitably patched. Backfilling and plugging of all borings shall be in accordance with all applicable regulations and regulatory methods. 3.4 BORING METHODS 3.4.1 Mobilization This work shall consist of mobilization of all necessary equipment, tools, and supplies to, and demobilization, from the drilling site. It shall be the responsibility of the Geotechnical Engineer to determine the equipment needs of each site and to mobilize equipment needed to perform the necessary work. 3.4.2 Hand Borings For determining the geotechnical profile, this work shall consist of using a hand auger of minimum 1 -1/2 -inch diameter, 1 -inch -retraction piston sampler, peat sampler, 3 -inch minimum- diameter, post -hole -type auger, or a hand guide power auger for obtaining samples. This work shall be performed in accordance with ASTM D1452/AASHTO T 203. The increment of advance of hand augers shall not exceed six inches.

Shelby tubes and 2 -1/8 -inch -diameter rock cores. This work shall be performed in accordance with ASTM D1586, D1587/AASHTO T 206, and as stated in Standard Penetration Tests and Split -Spoon Samples. A properly calibrated automatic hammer is preferable. However, if manual operation a maximum of two wraps of rope around the cathead shall be used to minimize reduction of the energy due to frictional resistance of the falling hammer. Other precautions shall be exercised to insure a free -falling hammer. Drilling fluid or other authorized practices shall be used to maintain an open borehole for sampling. Drilling using drilling fluid is considered a part of conventional drilling and sampling procedure. Any unusual sampling procedures or results shall be noted on the boring log. Driving of the split -spoon will be discontinued when blow counts reach 100 for a penetration of 12 inches or less, with total movment after 100 blows documented. If a sample is not recovered upon retraction of the sampler, one attempt with an appropriate entrapment device shall be made in order to retrieve a sample for visual classification. 3.4.4 Skid Drilling The following item is to be used when site conditions are such that a skid -mounted, dozer- mounted, all -terrain -vehicle drill rig or any other type mount previously approved is required to obtain the borings. Borings where the Geotechnical Engineer is required to use a dozer to get a rig to the boring location shall also be considered under this item. If the Geotechnical Engineer chooses to use a skid -mounted, dozer -mounted, or all -terrain -vehicle rig to obtain borings which could have been obtained by a truck rig, they shall be considered as truck borings. 3.4.4.1 Skid -Mounted Borings with Split -Spoon Sampling This work shall be the same as described in Article 3.4.3.1 - Truck -Mounted Borings with Split -Spoon Sampling, except for the drilling equipment required. 3.4.4.2 Skid -Mounted Rock -Core Borings This work shall be the same as described in Article 3.4.3.2 - Truck -Mounted Rock -Core Borings, except for the drilling equipment required. 3.4.5 Soundings This work shall consist of making continuous -flight auger borings with a truck -mounted rig, skid -mounted rig, barge -mounted rig, a powered hand auger, or a hand auger for the purpose of determining the depth to rock or the depth through peat, other unstable soils, man-made waste deposits, etc. and in accordance with ASTM D5434. Samples do not need to be obtained.
