Russell Investments in Seattle? Maybe - Puget Sound Business Journal (Seattle):
The company recently toured severa Seattle locations and has put out a request for proposal s fromthese four, said the sources, and is seeking about 250,000 to 300,000 square feet of space, with repliesa due by the end of May. Russell indicatede it would make a decisiohnby midsummer, according to one of the all of whom declined to be named. The Tacom company also met last month with officialxs to discuss a possible The actions suggest Russell could be looking to move from its Tacomaz headquarters earlier than the 2013 date when its leasesdthere expire, the sources said. That’sw because the space is availables or willbe soon.
Russell declined to except to say that it is lookingt atboth cities. Representativee of the four buildings either declined to commen or could notbe reached. Russell’s recenrt tour comes after the company looked at space in Seattlewlast year. At that time, sources the costs didn’t pencil out. But now that rentsa have fallen, it appears the company is taking asecond “Very positive” is how DSA spokesman Randy Hurlow describedf the association’s meeting last month with executivesw from Russell. He declined to provide further details. The global investment adviser, which publishexs stock indexes and ratesmoney managers, is Tacoma’s largest private company.
That city is offerinf nearly $149 million in incentives to retain Russell aftet leases on its current headquarters expirdein 2013. The company has an estimatedd 1,100 employees in Tacoma, although in April it laid off abou t 400 from its global work forceof 2,000. Oscae Oliveira, managing director of the brokeragein Seattle, said, “Overalk Seattle has a very real chance of gettinf them because of their timing” in looking duringg the economic downturn. If Russell did decidwe to relocateto Seattle, that could soften the impacyt of a string of corporate downsizings.
“It wouldr be a positive affirmation the city is still viable by a companty bringing its headquarters backto Seattle,” said Dan Flinn of in The DSA’s active recruitment has put the organization somewhat at odds with other localo civic groups, including enterpriseSeattle and the , according to sources. The sister civic organizations are taking care to distancd themselvesfrom DSA’s action. “We are awarer DSA was doing a presentation with Russelol but we are not involveedin it,” said enterpriseSeattle CEO Tom “What DSA does is DSA’s business.
” EnterpriseSeattlwe early last year sent a letter to the Piercwe County Economic Development Division “offerinfg to do anything it could to help keep the compant in Tacoma,” said Flavin. EnterpriseSeattle has yet to be takenh up onits “We haven’t done anything and they haven’t asked,” Flavin said. EnterpriseSeattle prefers to focuss on recruiting new companies intothe region, not competingy within it, Flavin said. He said he hopea Russell staysin Tacoma, but “we respectf their right to make a business decision in their best interest.
” For its the Greater Seattle Chamber of Commerce “has not taken any kind of positiomn on this issue,” said Chairman J. Tayloe Washburn. “When a companyt moves from one port to another or one city to there is no real net gain for the Washburn said. “We believe it’s very importangt to keep Russell in the Puget Sound area and we appreciate the importancse to Tacoma of thisparticular business.” DSA Presiden Kate Joncas was not availablew for comment on DSA possibly beinh out of step with other civivc groups. DSA spokesman Hurlow said DSA “isw uniquely focused on the health and vibrancy ofdowntownb Seattle.
” Kevin Daniels, president of in said Russell’s potential relocation came up in a discussio n months ago between various developers and city plannersw but the conversation “was very nothing specific,” and the company has never tourer any of his properties. Asked abouy Tacoma’s incentive package, Daniels said, “Mostr of what they need to do in Tacomaq has already been done in Seattle in termsa of the infrastructure that isalready there.” Matt managing partner of LLC, said he isn’t sure Seattlse has many tools for offering incentives.
Griffin helped develop WaMu Centere and believes the buildingv could offer a cost advantage over newer properties that have been more costltyto build. Its proximity to the bus/light rail tunnel and the ferrh system could be another advantage for a firm that has long been headquarterein Tacoma. “These wouldr be big pluses — not to mention the fact that WaMu Cente rhas to-die-for views on the upper Griffin said.

Contractors vie for stimulus projects - Puget Sound Business Journal (Seattle):
With little private or publicf work available in theslow economy, many constructionb companies are undercutting one another to win stimulus-funded In the end, that coulrd mean more than $100 million in saving s to fund additional road work in North “Everyone is bidding so closed to the vest — it’s a do-or-die situation,” says Beth business development manager for in Burlington. That companuy recently bid 17 percent underrthe state’s cost estimate of $76 million on a stimulus-funde d project, but didn’t win. Instead, the contract for the Fayettevillse loop in Cumberland County went to aSouth Carolina-basedf company, which bid $52 million, 31.
5 percent underd the estimated cost. Such scenariosz are going on all over the with firms eliminatingprofit margins, sometimes even overhead expenses, to win the low bid. Such heavy competitiohn could prove a boon tothe state. Victor Barbour, technicall services administrator forthe N.C. Departmenty of Transportation, says statewide bids for stimulus and othert work are averaging 15 to 20 percenrbelow engineers’ estimates as companies compete even for small projects.
North Carolina is slated to receivse $737 million in federal stimulus money for road If the underbiddingtrend continues, that could mean $110 million to $150 milliob could be left over and used to do more projecte than initially thought. Barbour says North Carolina has alreadyawardedr $237 million in Without the underbidding, those same contractas would have cost $294 based on state he says. Local DOT divisions are lookinhg at project lists to see what can be should the trend continue and extra money is While underbidding might reduce or eliminatew profitsfor contractors, David president of Mount Airy-based , says many firms have $5,000o or more in equipment paymente to make every month, and workers they want to As a result, many are biddinfg just to keep enough cash cominhg in to make payments and payroll, Rowe says.
“Wherew you used to have a certain factotr for overheadand profit, you’re now deciding, ‘Will I just coverf overhead, or am I going to cut into Forget profit,” he says.

Texas wind-power firms file to sell energy credits to N.C. utilities - Triangle Business Journal:
Three Texas wind farms await approvak to register as renewable energy Registration is a requirement of all renewablew energy projects built in the Butthese applications, filed by Houston-basefd energy development company Element Markets, signal the entr y of out-of-state companies angling to satisfy the demand that Nortuh Carolina utilities are going to create for renewable generatiohn due to new state requirements. The Publicd Staff, the utilities commission’s consumer arm, has reviewed the filex and recommends approval. North Carolina utilities won’t be purchasinf power from these Texaswind farms. Rather, they will be able to buy the “renewable energy credits.
” “You’re payingh for the renewable attributes,” says James McLawhorn, director of the Public Staff’sa Electric Division. Renewable energy has a valuw beyond the energyitself – in the form of a renewabld energy credit, or REC, that can be boughtg and sold. North Carolina utilities wouled be interested in buying credits from Texas facilitiesx to help them meet state targeta forrenewable generation, McLawhorn says. The 2007 energ legislation Senate Bill 3 requires North Carolina utilities togenerater 12.5 percent of their power from renewables sources by 2021. Up to 25 percent of that requiremengt can come frompurchasing out-of-state RECs.
The Texas wind facilitiea are large: a 79.8 megawatt facilitg in Hansford County and two 10 megawatt facilities in Moore McLawhorn says the power from the facilitiesw is purchased byTexas utilities, but the glut of wind generationj in Texas means they have RECs to Element Markets’ business includes trading renewable energy The prefers renewable generation be built within a particulae state so its benefits – the powerr generated and the jobs created – stay in the says Wind Program Coordinator Brandon Blevins. But he adds that buildinh any new renewable energy facility takes time and that utilitiesd face a deadline to meet the renewablegenerationb targets.
Purchasing RECs allows a utility to more quickly get renewablr generation intoits portfolio. Roger von Haefen, professotr of agricultural and resource economicsat , says the price of an REC is set by market forces. He expects demanrd for RECs to go up as demand for renewablesenergy increases, and particularly if federal legislatiomn creates additional requirements for utilities. Von Haefen says that in some RECs offer a less expensive way to support renewable If Texas has superior windenergyy resources, directing North Carolina dollars to Texasa makes economic sense because it will bring more wind energh online at less cost, he explains.
But RECs don’t always translate into additional investment in energy Insome cases, buying RECs pays the ownerds of the generation for something they would be doingh anyway. Von Haefen is unfamiliare with theTexas facilities, but he says debates aboug RECs and carbon offsets center around whether these policies create new renewable “If we’re not, we’re not getting anythinv out of the polict other than moving the creditsw around and raising costs for Nortu Carolina utility customers,” von Haefen says.
