some knockouts in the plan during this preplanning phase for potential costs savings now. We don't want to overlook this aspect. ~,,~ Signage R.G. reported that all artwork for Courthouse Square logo is completed and working on having flag prepared. Dan added that they will provide design spec from Robert Duncan building to use as example for e~erior signage by tenants. Owner will want to include control over signage in their retail leases that are signed by prospective tenants. Building System Leonard received a letter from PGE a,nd is working with Interface to define service. Byron cautioned that we need to get PGE to qualify costs involved and risk of project and work with Interface to give them warning for cost on this item. Leona.rd will get Interface to work on load description and send letter to PGE. There is nothing new on natural gas at this point. Bruce has not responded to Byron. Natural gas is the more expensive way to go on reheat system over electrical. We want to ask Interface to give us a cost differential between electrical and gas. The use of space won't change dramatically in 10-20 yeazs and natural gas has potential to save more money over the long run. Interface needs to analyze what rate schedule will be used and look at both electrical and natural gas. Let's list this as an option as a possible costs savings item. If things get tight, we will want to have costs on both options and then we can determine which is best approach. The action item for R.G.'s portion is complete and now Byron will continue with contacting NWNG. When we know what the differential is, we can provide the basic information to Randy and R.G. ~ to work with Northwest Natural Gas. Important point if just kilowatt to gas differential then we have to do kilowatt penalty cost analysis to 0. Interface would need some involvement ~ The radio station needs are very minor but will require a separate meter. Their service requirements will be a different set up from regular 8-5 customers. To be able to differentiate their usage would be helpful for full service leases that we aze looking at implementing. Electrical will be metered separately for all first floor area tenants. Other item to use will be heat pump system. We need to talk about how we get there, where drop is and count on it being in a certain place would be enough. Architectural The security system is being worked on. The size of restrooms may change with P 1 level. It is being worked on and not yet fine tuned. New Issues Dave had one issue regarding life safety generators and evacuation. We will ask Interface to coordinate needs with the city. Ne~rt Thursday's meeting will be at the courthouse in Risk Management Conference Room A at 1:30 p.m. Page 9 of 9
