constructed in the City Center Core or Frame); (c) the willingness of other governmental entities to
participate in further development of Option 4, and the extent of their proposed financial
commitment; (d) potential costs of construction alternatives, including price points for various site
and/or building sizes and configurations, building styles (one- vs. multi-storied buildings, parking
structure), and additional square footage for initial leasing to private parties with the potential for
City expansion if needed; and (e) options for public private partnerships, including options involving
