Mitra Chem Proposal

HOME

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Tyler Hales will lead the Site Selection Team and as such, will manage the various service offerings that fall within this jurisdiction. Business Incentives, Supply Chain Optimization, Financial Modeling, & Industrial Location Strategy are all intricate components of the broader Site Selection Team that must work in parallel as the process evolves. Tyler has handpicked C&W’s top resources across the country to specifically lead each service offering based upon past experience and success on behalf of other clients. Kyle Schneider will lead the Project Management Team due to his previous experience assisting large battery manufacturers design their facilities while ensuring efficient construction timelines, which is particularly important given today’s supply chain constraints. While we understand project management isn’t currently in scope due to Mitra Chem’s internal capabilities, we wanted you to be acutely aware of our breadth of knowledge, experience, and expertise should your strategy change in the future. Further we will leverage Kyle and his team’s expertise as we perform due diligence on potential sites as part of our Transaction Management process. THE RIGHT EXPERIENCE While we realize most large brokerage firms are able to create an extensive list of large-scale site selection clients, C&W is uniquely positioned given our experience within the battery / battery component manufacturing industry. To name just a few examples, C&W recently advised Honda & LG on a $4.4 billion production facility to be built in Ohio. In addition, C&W was recently hired by one of the country’s largest electric vehicle companies to open several manufacturing facilities throughout the country. Our proposed Site Selection Team has extensive experience advising these and countless other advanced manufacturing projects throughout the country. We will apply this experience to execute this project efficiently and methodically for Mitra Chem.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

On behalf of Cushman & Wakefield (“C&W”) and our entire project team, we are thrilled to present our real estate site selection proposal for Mitra Chem’s scale up battery cathode manufacturing project. We have directly addressed the RFP questions below – our unique strengths and experience, proposed scope of work, and pricing structure. We have included other relevant information in the appendix following this Executive Overview.

C&W UNIQUE STRENGTHS THE RIGHT TEAM

Understanding Mitra Chem requires a trusted partner who understands the complexities of business incentives negotiations combined with the ability to mitigate supply chain obstacles while also ensuring speed-to-market delivery remains top of mind, we have assembled a world class team prepared to work in tandem to achieve excellence. We recognize projects of this scale require careful coordination and seamless execution. As such, we realize the importance of defining responsibilities, aligning objectives, driving sustainability, and ultimately securing a favorable real estate solution. In attempt to clearly define roles at the onset, we’ve divided the project team into three distinct subcategories – Transaction Management, Site Selection, & Project Management with a brief description of the leads for each below. Refer to the Project Team section of the appendix for the full team and organization structure. Steve Billigmeier & Rob Bain will lead the Transaction Team and be the primary points of contact for Mitra Chem throughout the entire process. Understanding this requirement may ultimately land in the Southeast, we’ve taken the initiative to identify top-of-market brokers in several key Southeast markets that will further augment the project team’s site selection efforts.
