Collins, CO 80521 563-940-4922 Assistant City Attorney 10/23/2017 City Clerk Exhibit A Scope of Work for Innovate Fort Collins Challenge Project: Insecticycle, LLC Insecticycle plans to leverage funds from the Innovate Fort Collins Challenge to bring its lab scale system into a real world setting. The most critical aspect of this plan includes the scaling and operational efficiency of this technology as it grows from a research system into one that can provide clean waste recycling to the community and achieve profitability as a business. Several challenges must be overcome to complete this scaling process. As the system can support approximately 5 gallons per week in its current state, the capacity of the system needs to increase by a factor of 10 in order to meet the goals outlined in the proposal. While the intense physical growth of the system is underway, the company will be seeking partnerships and agreements with local waste providers to keep the system functioning while taking in larger amounts of waste. After the scaling has been completed the company plans to be serving a small handful of business as partners. In addition to working with waste providers, Insecticycle will also be seeking business opportunities with its products including chicken feed, soil additive and eventually fish feed. Quality assurance and performance testing will be critical to understanding the final quality of these products and their usefulness. As these inputs and outputs are carefully tracked and brought together, Insecticycle plans to reach a profitable state of operation near Q4 which should be helpful in generating investor interest. Once the operational model is reached the company will extrapolate from this data to predict what a full scale system could deliver in terms of measureable impact and community benefits. Furthermore the company will be able to project this model onto other scenarios in order to expand its operations to other regions.
