The development of a DCP in Singapore will strengthen Singapore's position as an economic hub by attracting MNCs and enterprises to set up their HQ and premium DC operations here. It will also help to entrench Singapore as an infocomm and media hub by having more premium DCs such as banks and Telco carriers located here. Such DC infrastructure will attract world-class Internet and media companies to host their content and services in Singapore, thus attracting more Internet traffic and international network providers. Ultimately, this will enhance Singapore's global connectivity and competitiveness.
Recent analyst reports indicated that the power demand for Data Centres have grown significantly and there has been bigger spending on DC operational costs to provision for more power and cooling for their customers. Many DC players also face the challenges of inadequate power and chilled water infrastructure at their existing facilities. Thus one of the DCP's key value propositions is have an onsite integrated power and chilled water to help increase the overall energy efficiency of the DCP.
The aim of this RFI is to gather information for which the onsite power/chilled water infrastructure for DCP can be best developed.
In conceptualising the power/chilled water infrastructure, IDA will like respondents to specifically address the following issues regarding:
-
Technical specifications
-
Regulatory requirements, and
-
Commercial considerations in fulfilling plant requirements
IDA intends to use the responses to the RFI to draw up detailed specifications, operating and business terms in the RFP for the DCP. As a result of the RFI, IDA may:
-
Engage in further discussions and negotiations with the respondent; and
-
Proceed to issue an open call for Request for Proposals (RFP).
Respondents are also welcomed to provide additional proprietary or general information beyond the scope of RFI e.g. specific terms and conditions for the power/chilled water provisioning, which is relevant and useful for RFP.
Submissions should be made in hard copy (4 sets) and soft copy (1 set) in Word format by 1400 hrs (Singapore time) on 8 June 2011 (Wednesday).
