Specifications include, but are not limited to: EXISTING PLANS & DATA REVIEW Identify and review inland port related state and local studies and planning efforts to inform on existing conditions, needs, and limitations. ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE, FUNDING AND OPERATIONS Recommend structure and staffing of the Inland Port Authority. a. Identify a minimum of three (3) scenarios for development of a Utah Inland Port with a recommendation if the consultant chooses. i.

The respondent should consult with and utilize local technical experts in each category whenever possible. b. Identify the funding models for the various scenarios for the Utah Inland Port, and for the ideal model if one is recommended. Funding models should be based on access to private capital, grants, public funding and how the funding sources can be best used and combined. c. Evaluate the funding options so that all government entities contributing to the development of the Port benefit from the development, and that the tax increment allocated for the Port is not anticipated to be permanent. d. Recommend potential partners for funding and operating the inland port. e. Forecast the funding streams and operating costs, including upfront investment requirements, ongoing expenses, and revenue flows. f. Conduct a financial performance analysis, including the measurement of profitability through the start-up period, incremental growth, and at project stabilization. g.

Identify the extent to which the other levels of government (state, county, municipalities) have existing technical resources that can be accessed to avoid duplication and encourage the efficient use of resources. i.

Review potential infrastructure funding resources, and recommend a process by which those resources can be appropriately leveraged to create maximum benefit and respect the concept that the growth in the area is expected to cover the development costs.
