Cleveland, Ohio

EXHIBIT A
Scope of Services

A. Executive Summary

Cuyahoga County and the City of Cleveland, Ohio, are interested in developing a SOMW microgrid
addition in the near downtown Cleveland area. The microgrid addition has the potential to spur economic
development of facilities requiring an increased electrical grid resiliency. and (99.99905) reliability.
Middough will support ongoing development efforts by preparing documentation. The
process will develop documents to advertise to potential microgrid developers, who will be required to
finance, design, build, own, and operate the microgrid, under an operational agreement with Cleveland Public
Power, (CPP).

The microgrid will be developed with the following specific project goals, objectives, and primary
intertie planning and design criteria:

1.
2.

SOMW Total Microgrid Design Capacity, with resiliency to outside forces.
Primary intertie to CPP via a new 138KV system Ring 11.5kV Substation.

Primary Microgrid 11.5kV Distribution Substation and Combined Heat Power (CHP) facility with an
expected load capacity of 30MVA located within the initial microgrid geographic boundaries.

Secondary Microgrid 11.5kV Distribution Substation located nearfat Cleveland Public Power E.11th
Street Substation with an expected load capacity of ZOMVA.

Microgrid 11.5w Distribution Feeder System

Primary Microgrid 11.5kV Generation at (CHP) facility with an expected load capacity of BOMW, (1 BMW
initial, with an additional 15MW future), and uninterruptable fuel supply.

11.5kV Battery Systems at both Microgrid Substation locations.

Microgrid Control System integrated with CPP utility and CCT CHP generation, capable of system
protection and control, compliance for interconnecting distributed resources with electric
power systems, load shed, load follow, islanding and return to utility, voltage and frequency control,
and intelligent dispatch of CHP electrical and thermal loads.

B. Execution Plan and Scope of Work

Middough will develop microgrid study layouts and configurations to provide conceptual technical
design criteria and performance requirements of the planned microgrid physical installation. The intent
is to provide interested parties a clear representation of the envisioned microgrid utility
intertie points, primary generation interface, and potential distribution network. The following additional
conceptual design documents will be provided to help communicate the design intent to the successful
party! developer:

a. Microgrid overview single line diagram with utility and generation intertie points

b. Microgrid overview plan depicting utility and generation intertie locations

d. Microgrid distribution underground primary duct bank potential locations, size, and profiles
e. Microgrid distribution underground secondary duct bank potential locations, size, and profiles

f. CPP existing and new substation interface and upgrade requirements and data

2. Middough will coordinate with the Cleveland Foundation sponsored microgrid development and legal
team, (see attached organization chart). to identify typical proformas of potential primary microgrid
power off-taker/ anchor tenants, and incorporate the necessary contract and legal language obtained
from The documents will include requirements for a microgrid economic
development fee, Cleveland Foundation development payback, and utility intertie concession
agreement. will also provide contract documentation for inclusion into the that
defines the requirements of the eventual contract with CPP. Middough will not be providing any legal
services for this scope of services.

3. will develop and prepare the formal documents describing the required operator
supplied microgrid design criteria, scope of supply description, technical specification. and contract
addenda. The will be performed in a two-stage process as follows:

a. Phase 7 Solicitation and review of a qualificationrbased request of interest and
qualifications.

b. Phase Upon selection of qualified corporations or developers, solicitation of a formal
cost-based proposal, allowing potential microgrid project developers to convey their
recommended microgrid development offering, including cost to design, build, and operate,
along with CPP proposed power purchase agreement, generation supply power purchase
agreement, and tenant tiered reliability cost structures.

4. Middough will support the evaluation of both RFQ and RFP responses for technical compliance and
prepare technical evaluation documents for the review and input in the evaluation
process.

5. Middough will manage the process utilizing Newforma project execution software. Newforma
provides architects, engineers, contractors, and owners a more effective means of organizing project
data, collaboration with team members, and management of construction projects from inception to
completion. Project information is organized, accessed and managed by internal and external project
team members. Newforma software powers collaboration, information exchange, workflow, tracking
and reporting. Utilization of Newforma will maximize the efficiency of the RFQIRFP process, and allow
for potential microgrid developers to more easily respond, have their questions answered via a formal
RFI process, and easily access and transmit all RFQIRFP submittals, documents, and data. As
Newforma logs all project interactions, it provides for a central repository of the process and
provides for transparency as may be required by the project.

6. Middough can provide CCICOC additional engineering support services to reviewthe detailed microgrid
design provided by Others, observe the construction effort, respond to requests for information, and
provide coordination with Cleveland Public Power and the project generation suppliers. (These services
are not included as part of this proposal at this time.)

H. Conflict of Interest Statement

1. Middough is currently retained as Cleveland Public Power?s general engineering service provider and
has entered into a specific non-disclosure agreement (NDA) with respect to the release and transfer of
CPP system information to outside entities. To that end, the services outlined in this proposal and the
subsequent CPP related documentation will be submitted to CPP for review and approval priorto public
use by CCKCOCs microgrid development team.

2. It is understood that Middough agrees to isolate the information received and/or disseminated by the
personnel working on the RFQIRFP execution team while they are engaged in the defined
scope of work activities. The purpose of this isolation of information is to avoid having RFQIRFP
personnel provide information external to the RFQIRFP project team that would give any potential
microgrid developer any strategic advantage during the process. This isolation will be
provided by means of operational procedures put in place limiting external information exchange to that
approved by the Middough RFQERFP project manager and by setting data access rights in the
Newforma project execution software, so that no access is permitted to the project data by
non-project personnel.

3. It is understood that Middough will provide separate staffing and project management resources for
any consulting work performed during the project execution schedule to potential microgrid
developers. The intent of this staffing separation is to endeavor to avoid conflict of interests by
Middough staff while providing services to any of our existing and/or new clients. Middough will inform
in writing should Middough become engaged in consulting activities with a potential microgrid
developer before the completion of the RFQIRFP scope of work and the associated identification of a
microgrid developer by 00/000.

4. It is understood that Middough will be able to pursue and be awarded any portions of microgrid andfor
CHP related detailed engineering services resulting from the CCICOC concession agreement with a
microgrid developer after the execution of this scope of services has been completed.
