EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The goal of the present feasibility study is to analyze the opportunity and conditions to create a
greenfield Industrial Park in Edinet on a state-owned land. Given that the administrative boundaries
of Edinet run relatively at a distance of 20 km from the land designed for the Industrial Park
(hereinafter referred to as the IP), Edinet District was considered as a zone of direct IP influence.
Edinet District is situated in the northern part of the country at the border with Romania and has an
area of 933 km
2
and a population of 83 600 inhabitants.
The land, intended for the location of the Edinet Industrial Park is owned by Edinet LPA. It has an
area of 18.6 ha and is situated in the north-western part of Edinet, with direct exit to M14
international road Chisinau Cernauti and exit to E583 European road. Also, it is located at the
distance of 63 km to the railroad from Otaci and at a distance of about 98 km from the Free
International Airport Marculesti near Floresti. The distance from the land, designed for the
Industrial Park to the Giurgiulesti Free International Port makes up 463 kilometres.
Edinet has an industrial potential and of qualified labour force of a higher level compared to other
districts from the northern part of the republic. Qualified labour force is specialized in industry of
agricultural product processing and in some fields of machinery processing industry. The total
number of economically active but unemployed population is about 24 thousand persons. A great
number of them (about 14 thousand persons) are left for abroad, the other part is unemployed and the
rest work occasionally (at home or abroad).
Given the conditions, provided by the location of the land designed for the IP, and the specifics of
development of Edinet, the activities of IP are (a) textile and clothing industry; (b) leather processing
and footwear manufacturing; (c) furniture production; (d) machinery and equipment manufacturing;
(e) production of electrical and electrotechnical equipment; (f) automotive industry; (g) transport and
communications (storage, processing, packaging).
In order to stimulate new businesses in Edinet and in the region it is proposed to establish within the
IP a Business Incubator (hereinafter - BI) in the field of industrial production, including agro-food
industry and other activities associated with the IP profile. Advantages of location of the BI on the
territory of the IP are related, first of all, to the fact that Business Incubator Residents will be able to
enjoy facilities offered by the title of IP Resident. As a result, after the incubation period, the BI
Resident will be able to continue the activity as the IP Resident. Thus, additional conditions for
increasing sustainability of created businesses are created. Business Incubator will be managed by the
Managing Company of the IP, however, the BI activity will be organized separately from that of the
IP.
IP consists of three zones: (i) Zone of Residents; (ii) administrative zone and (iii) land occupied by
infrastructure. The area occupied by the zone of Residents makes up 16.74 ha and is consists of 2
zones: (i) subzone of leased production premises of 4.52 ha and (ii) subzone of land parcels of 12.22
ha. 20 Residents of BI and 10 Residents of IP will operate within the subzone of leased production
premises by the Managing Company, within the subzone of land parcels 24 parcels (0.5l ha each)
will be made available to Residents for the construction of production facilities. Residents of this
subzone can be also BI Residents who will benefit from a special package of incubation services,
which can include only consulting and support services.

At the same time, besides the main option, presented above, where subzone of leased production
premises consists of BI production premises (12% of the total area of Zone of Residents) and
production premises for the IP residents (15%) in terms of the structure of the Zone of Residents, 2
more options have been analyzed: option 2 subzone of leased production premises consists only of
production premises of the Business Incubator (12%) and, respectively, the subzone of parcels makes
up 88% of the area of the Zone of Residents (16.74 ha) and, option 3 the Resident zone consists
only of the subzone for leased production premises (100%), in other words on the whole territory of
the IP, land parcels will be leased by IP Residents allowing them to build their own production
premises.
According to the options, defined above, capital costs of the project by PPP without investments of
IP Residents in their own production premises make up 120.2 mln. MDL in case of option 1; 71.3
mln.MDL in case of option 2 and, respectively, 27.2 mln. MDL in case of option 3.
Since this IP project can be implemented by public administration (or LPA with central authorities)
and by public private partnership, an analysis of the project cost for both these approaches was
carried out. This analysis was made on the basis of estimates of the total project costs, including its
risks, replacement, administration and maintenance costs, decreasing them by financial incomes
generated by the IP Managing Company for the entire period of IP existence of 30 years. Based on
this analysis it was concluded that the IP implemented through public-private partnership, has a lower
cost than if being implemented under own management by public authorities.
As a result, it is recommended to implement this project through public private partnership, where the
Managing Company will be selected through tender. The PPP contract term will be equal to the 30-
year period of activity provided to the Industrial Park.
Creation of the Edinet Industrial Park will have many positive effects on economy at local, as well as
regional and national levels. It is estimated that about 2036 direct jobs will be created in the IP, plus
about 100 indirect jobs in the field of services, as well as about 400-500 during the IP construction
period. At the same time, an increase of the level of survival of small and medium enterprise
resulting from the operation of the BI, contributing to economic stability of the locality and region, is
estimated.
Positive social impact on the population living within a 20 km radius from the Industrial Park will be
reflected by the fact that some jobs will be also provided for the unemployed, as well as about 10%
of those left for abroad. Labour remuneration fund will be increased by about 102.5 mln. MDL
annually thus increasing incomes of the population from the region. At the same time, local
community will benefit from infrastructure development, including by improving water supply,
sewerage and telecommunications services.

1. ANALYSIS OF THE IP REGION
Ensuring sustainable economic growth is a strategic priority of the Republic of Moldova, which is
possible only in case of implementation of some efficient policies of stimulating investment activity
and industrial development. Range of tools, used to implement these policies, has grown with the
approval of the new Law on industrial parks, which has created new opportunities for establishing
Industrial Parks through public private partnerships.
With the view to identifying opportunities for creation of an Industrial Park in Edinet, resources and
costs required for its creation and its impact on the development of the region, an analysis on Edinet
district, representing a defined area within the radius of about 20 km from the land, designed for the
IP, has been carried out.
1.1. General overview
Edinet district is located in the Northern Region of the Republic of Moldova and borders on Romania
on the west, on Donduseni district in the east, on Briceni and Ocnita districts in the north and on
Riscani district in the south. The area of Edinet is 933 km2, making up 2.77% of the territory of the
Republic of Moldova.
The district is composed of 49 localities with a population of 83 600 inhabitants. There are 2 cities in
the district: Edinet and Cupcini. Edinet is district residence and is located at the distance of 201 km
from the capital of the country.
Localities of the district has a moderately continental climate, with cold and short winters, warm and
dry summers. Sudden changes of climate produce undesirable phenomena: droughts, pouring rains,
storms, thunderstorms, rains with hail and floods.
1.2. Social and cultural development

1.2.2. Labour force
According to the data of 2009, out of the total population of the district, 40.72% is represented by
economically active population out of which 3.16% are unemployed and 37.56% are employed in
economy.
Of the total economically active population, 92.23% are employed in economy
1
and 7.77% are
unemployed, this unemployment level being higher than the average level in the country of 6.4%.
Taking into account that the data refer only to the unemployed registered by the National
Employment Agency, the actual number of the unemployed is much higher than the mentioned one.
Number of unemployed women is lower than that of men, a trend which continues within the
last few years. This is due to the fact that job offer is higher for women, expectations
(particularly wages) of women are lower and there are many part-time job offers for them.
Mostly, unemployment duration makes up 3-5 months.
Population employed in economy is composed of constant employees and persons engaged in a
certain seasonal/temporary activity. Thus, analyzing the structure of the employed population at the
level of 2009 we may state that only 9.9 thousand persons have a permanent job out of total
employed population of 31.4 thousand persons. On the other hand, the number of officially registered
unemployed in the same reference period made up only 2.6 thousand persons. These data indicate
that the total number of available economically active population is about 24 thousand persons.

Out of the total employed population, 27.69% work in the field of agriculture, 22.09% in
education, and 20% in industry (see Table 4).
At the level of 2009, there were 11 156 employees in the district, which decreased by 6.2% as
compared to 2008 and by 13.11% as compared to 2007.
The average salary for 2009 made up 2 021 MDL, increased by 9.4% as compared to 2008 and
by 31.06% as compared to 2007. Moreover, we can say that labour force in Edinet is relatively
cheap, since the average salary for 2009 is by 35.97% lower than the average salary in the
republic of 2748 MDL.

At the same time, low incomes and unattractive job offer have determined many people to work
abroad, thus, initiating a strong migration (to the Russian Federation, Italy, Portugal, Greece
etc.) particularly of well-qualified persons. Thus, about 20% of the working population of the
district or about 14 thousand of persons work outside the country. The problem is also worsened
by the fact that many leaving families take their children, their returning to the native locality
being uncertain. Low birth rate complements this phenomenon.
1.2.3. Social infrastructure
Edinet has 44 educational institutions within which during 2009-2010 academic years 8 913
students were enrolled, which decreased as compared to previous years.
At the district level there is only one college, where 98 persons were enrolled in 2009. At the
level of 2009-2010, the number of college students is 263 persons, being continuously
increasing as compared to previous years. However, the number of graduates (29 persons) is
decreasing by 30.95 percentage points as compared to 2008 and 6.45 percentage points as
compared to 2007.

There are also 2 secondary vocational educational institutions where during 2009-2010
academic years 857 persons were enrolled and 278 students graduated.
The mentioned data show that although students are eager to attend an educational institution,
not all of them have the opportunity to graduate from them, since the majority is forced to
abandon studies for working and financially supporting their family.
Although Edinet does not have university educational institutions or research institutions,
persons who wish to continue their studies can choose one of the 3 institutions of higher
educational institutions in Balti and those 30 universities in the capital.
Cultural and healthcare infrastructure is represented in the district by libraries, cultural centres, gyms,
museums and functional medical institutions (see Table 6).

Number of infrastructure objects in the field of culture, sport and health is relatively small. Moreover,
libraries and gyms are in an unsatisfactory condition, and most cultural centres do not function. There
is only one hospital, 8 medical centres, 14 healthcare centres and 17 family doctors' offices in the
district.
1.3. Economic profile
Within the complex of national development of the Republic of Moldova Edinet is an agrarian and
industrial district. At present, about 22 000 economic entities are working on the territory of the
district, 86% of them work in agriculture under the form of farms

Within the past five years, there has been a downward trend in the number of employees by 3 100
persons or 23.85%. This fact is determined by migration of population to work abroad. This
phenomenon mainly affected agricultural sector where the number of employees decreased by almost
3 times and industrial sector where in 2009 the number of employees decreased by 700 persons as
compared to 2005.
Top 10 economic entities from the locality recorded a total sales volume of 512 millions MDL, of
which abt. 39.4% belong to a single economic entity (Rusagroprim LLC). Annual local budget is
substituted with 2 millions MDL in the form of taxes paid by these economic entities. Also, 1 281
persons are engaged in these enterprises.

1.3.1. Industry
Edinet economy has a agrarian and industrial nature, as other regions of the country actually, but
unlike those it has a relatively more developed industry.
In 2009, 21 industrial enterprises activated in Edinet district, most of them are in Cupcini and to a
lesser extent in Edinet. Although their number has changed during recent years, the share of
industrial enterprises which work efficiently and record profits remains to be abt. 1/3 (see Table 10).

Agro-food industry has a significant importance for the districts economy, while the production
volume is twice higher compared to the regional average. Processing enterprises are specialized in
canning, sugar, dairy industry (see Figure 8).
Volume of production of this industry per capita makes up 91.7% of the regional average if Balti
municipality is included (5647.5 MDL compared to 6161.9 MDL). If we exclude Balti municipality
from calculations, then this index of Edinet will be approximately twice higher than the regional
average

.

During 2005-2009, trends of development of Edinet industries were positive and where higher
by 33% than the national trends, with the exception of 2009 when the volume of industrial
output of Edinet has reached back to the level of the basic year (2005) unlike overall trends in
the country which exceeded by 12% the level of the same year (see Figure 9).
Industrial output of Edinet in 2009 made up 322.4 mln. MDL, representing 14.3% of regional
industrial production (with the exception of Balti municipality) of 4 923.4 mln. MDL and 1.42%
of the national one of 22 643.8 mln. MDL (see Figure 10).
Industrial enterprises in the district are relatively large as compared to regional: annual
industrial output per enterprise in 2008 made up 5.29 mln. MDL as compared to 3.57 mln. MDL
- a regional average with Balti municipality or 2.46 mln. MDL without Balti municipality. As
compared to regional, this figure is higher only in Balti municipality

During the past years about 2 400 persons are employed in the industry, representing 8.33% of
the total number of employees involved in the industrial sector of the Northern region. Number
of employees in the field has remained relatively constant during this period (see Table 12).

At the same time, Edinet has the advantage of proximity to the market of Balti municipality.
Having a high outlet potential, it facilitates sales of industrial output.
1.3.2. Agriculture
The agricultural sector has a significant share in the economic activity of Edinet, which has
important advantages: soil productivity mark is higher in the region (78) while share of eroded
soils is very low (23.1%). These advantages are increased by the high level of mechanization,
there are 13.5 tractors for 1000 ha of land, as compared to the average of 9.3 in the region. Also,
the district has water resources for irrigation in some localities, located in Prut river valley.
At present, 18 966 economic entities are employed in agriculture. Most of them are farms or
individual enterprises. In 2009 their turnover reached the level of 147.3 mln. MDL, which is by
31.9% higher than in 2008. According to statistics, at present about 1 300 persons are annually
engaged in agriculture. Their unofficial number is obviously higher, however, due to the
increase in the mechanization level of agriculture, a decreasing trend of using human factor is
observed.
1.3.3. Services
The service sector is continuously growing not only in absolute terms but also of shares of regional
and national levels. Service demand exceeds the regional average and stimulates sales of services
within the district. Within the last five years, the volume of paid services provided to the population
has doubled (see Figure 11).

In 2009 the volume of paid services made up 127.3 million MDL (or 1523 MDL per person), by
5.6% more than in 2008, of which 63% of the service volume are rendered by public enterprises
while 28% by private enterprises from the region.
1.3.4. Entrepreneurship
Edinet ranks 3rd place in the northern region by carried out entrepreneurial activity since the
turnover of economic entities increased by 41.7% in 2009 as compared to 2005 even though the
number of enterprises and their staff in the same period decreased by 21% and respectively, 28% (see
Figure 12).

Red Average number of employees
In 2009, the SME sector was composed of 97% of the total number of enterprises and employed
62.9% of employees, achieving a turnover of 640 mln. MDL. Currently micro enterprises have a
share of 57% of the total number of SMEs.
In 2009, 295 small and medium enterprises worked in the district. Even though their number
decreased as compared to 2005, the share of SMEs in the economic sphere has remained the same
(see Table 13). Within the last five years there have been recorded changes in the structure of SME

balanced trend of decrease in the number and share of micro and medium enterprises.

There is a relatively large number of commercial banks, micro-finance companies, savings and loan
associations and consulting centres in the district.
1.3.5. Investments
According to the Regional Investment Performance Rating (RIPR) Edinet ranks 9th place of 38
districts, municipalities and regions.
During 2009, a total of 236.9 mln. MDL were invested decreasing by 37.3% as compared to 2008,
and which were lower by 27.3% as compared to 2007. Registered reductions were mainly because of
the lack of foreign investments and reduction of private investments, resulting largely from the
country's political instability and economic crisis.
Out of the total investments in 2009, 48.06% were made by the joint ventures, without foreign
participation, 34.56% by private companies, and only 1.88% by foreign companies (see Figure 14).

In 2008, in Edinet there was the only foreign investor with substantial investments, providing a
balance of foreign investments per company of 3 647.6 thousand MDL, or 60% of the regional
average.
According to a study, carried out by Expert Grup, the majority of private investments are made
in processing industry, transport and communications, agriculture and trade (see Figure 15) .

In case of an investment, it should be taken into account that the sectors with the highest potential are
the following: cultivation of ecological production; growing of vegetables in greenhouses and indoor;
berry growing; storage of agricultural production; processing of locally grown fruits; livestock sector
and sausage production; tourism; textiles and construction materials.
1.3.6. Infrastructure
Edinet has a network of public roads with a total length of 326.7 km, of which 62.3 km are national
roads and 264.4 km - local roads.
Public utilities in the region are provided by several providers that operate at local and national
levels.
Natural gas in Edinet is provided by the enterprise Edinet Gas LLC. The delivery price of 1000
m

of gas by medium pressure gas pipelines makes up 4 653 MDL excluding VAT for 2010. The rate
of dwellings supplied with gas has been increasing during the last 5 years, and makes up 22.3% of
the total number of dwellings in the district.
Water supply and sewage services are provided by JV Apa Canal . The number of users of
drinking water supply service is being increased, reaching in 2009, the number of 4 477 users, of
which 2 062 are also connected to sewage network.

Residents and economic entities from Edinet are provided with electricity by Joint-Stock Company
RED Nord Vest, which provides electricity at the rate of 145 MDL / kWh excluding of VAT.
Banking infrastructure is developed by 9 branches of the following banks: Banca de Economii, Banca
Social, Energbank, Mobiasbanca Fincombank, Moldindconbank, Agroindbank Victoribank
ProCreditBank.
Local mass media is represented by 2 radio stations and one TV station. Written media is performed
through newspapers Curierul de Edinet and North Info. Locals have over 100 TV channels by
cable or digital and about 30 of radio channels.
Fixed telephone services are provided by Moldtelecom company while mobile telephone services
are provided by companies Orange, Moldcell and Unite. Moldcell company has been
operating in Edinet since 2000 and has a coverage area of about 96.6%. Since 2007, mobile phone
services have been provided also by companies Orange and Unite with a coverage area of 98%
and 90% respectively. The first 2 mobile telephone providers operate according to GSM standard,
while the last mentioned according to CDMA standard. The extension of the communications
sector allows for the acceleration of the information flow, adoption of new technologies, which
ultimately has a positive impact on the region.
1.4. Reasoning the need for the IP
Although Edinet has a relatively good potential for business development, recently there has been
observed a degradation of the industrial and labour force potential, a decrease in the investment
volume. As a result, about 20% of the working population works outside the country. This is largely
due to the fact that CIS countries do not have capital reserves for investments in Moldova while the
countries from outside CIS space (especially from developed countries such as European Union
countries, USA, Israel, Canada, etc.) invest primarily in economies with high capacity outlets such as
economies of Russia, Ukraine, etc.
Under these conditions, the importance of conditions for creation and functioning of enterprises is
obviously increasing. In this respect, creation of an Industrial Park in Edinet is one of the strategies of
business environment development that aims to reduce production costs by improving access to
productive inputs, especially those that or can be largely influenced by public authorities.
Due to the approval of the Law No. 182 of 15.07.2010 on industrial parks, a number of problems that
currently result in low investment activity in the region can largely be solved by creating the Edinet
Industrial Park. According to the provisions of this law, conditions are created and certain facilities
are provided for solving the following problems:
- Limited access to industrial lands for launching and developing the industrial activity: This
problem is characterized by the shortage of industrial land and difficult procedure of changing the
destination of agricultural land. The Law on industrial parks favours the holder of the title of the
Industrial Park and its residents through exemption from compensation for losses, caused by
exclusion of the land from the category of agricultural lands according to the Law on normative price
and procedure of land purchase and sale;
- High costs and risks related to bureaucratic procedures when launching and carrying out the
industrial activity: Establishment of a special commission under the Local Council which will be
Feasibility Study for establishing the Edinet Industrial Park


Feasibility Study on creation of Edinet Industrial Park
29
29
responsible for providing technical, legal, consultative support and coordinating the acquisition of
permissive documents provided by law
- Higher costs and risks related to state control of business activities. Within the IP, state control
over IP Residents activity is optimized by conducting planned controls according to the annual
schedule approved by Government decision or spot checks made by the Ministry of Economy in
compliance with the legislation in force;
- Higher costs for connection to utilities: According to the Law on industrial parks No. 182 of
15.07.2010 (art. (13), para. (1)) creation of technical and production infrastructure is funded by the
amount, allocated from the state budget and the budgets of administrative-territorial units, reducing
investment costs.
With the view to assessing the need and opportunity to create Edinet IP a SWOT analysis of the
selected location for locating IP has been carried out. The analysis highlights strengths and
weaknesses of the IP site and region as compared to other regions of the country, as well as identifies
possible opportunities and threats coming from the outside of Edinet Industrial Park.

- Trend to transfer capitals from the EU in
limitrophe zones
- Political instability at national level,
expressed by incoherence of policies in the
field of regional development; frequent
modifications in the normative framework
- Support programs for economic development
of the Republic of Moldova, including by small
income taxes (or exclusion)
- General investment climate of the country
is relatively unattractive, including due to
corruption
- Existence and relatively easy access to EU and
East markets
- Transport, especially car infrastructure, in
the country and neighbouring countries is
poorly developed
- Legal framework of the IP is favourable for
their development

The presented analysis shows that the region also has a number of advantages as compared with other
regions of the country. Within a radius of 20 kilometres of the land destined for Edinet Industrial
Park, the zone has an industrial potential and that of qualified labour force at a higher level as
compared to other districts in the northern part of the republic. Qualified labour force is specialized in
industry of processing of agricultural products and in some fields of mechanical engineering industry.
Edinet, like most northern districts of the country, has a relatively high level of general culture and
production culture, representing a comfortable environment for local and foreign investors. The
majority of the population knows two languages and show aptitude for easy learning of foreign
languages, providing them with additional opportunities for education, employment and retraining.
Edinet has a relatively well developed local infrastructure: electricity supply is stable and can fully
meet the requirements of the industrial sector; water supply and sewage services are functional; there
is an easy access to gas network; there are no problems regarding connection to telecommunications
networks (fixed, mobile telephony, Internet); the region also has a well developed network of local
roads, even if their condition leaves much to be desired. The region also benefits from qualitative
banking services, here there are branches of all important banks of the country.
It should be mentioned that the geographical location in terms of accessibility of the region also
offers them some advantages as compared to other regions of the country. It is located near borders
with Romania and Ukraine, and has direct access to two major international routes (M14 and E583).
Thus, there can be a relatively easy access to important outlets of the EU and Ukraine as well as
materials and raw materials markets of the East.
By selecting the place of location of the land destined for the IP, an optimal access to utilities and
potential employees from Edient and region is provided. Also, the land destined for the Industrial
Park is adjacent to international route M14 Chisinau Chernauti, ensuring a good road access and
mobility to international markets. The land has access to the European road E583, is at a distance of
63 km from the railway in Otaci and 70 km to the railway in Balti.
Edinet Industrial Park with all objects of infrastructure will provide free access to lands required to
locate enterprise within the Park and to utilities necessary for industrial production, under favourable
working conditions, including relatively cheap and qualified labour force existing in the IPs region.
Thus, operation of Edinet IP will have a synergistic effect at the regional level, contributing to
improvement of the basic infrastructure for business as well as to increase of the living standard of
people from the region by increasing the share of permanently employed persons.

2. DESCRIPTION OF THE INDUSTRIAL PARKS CONCEPT
2.1. IP concept
IP organization. The initiator of the creation of the Industrial Park in Edinet is Local Public
Administration. IP will be created on an agricultural land with an area of 18.6 ha, owned by Edinet
Town Hall. The land is located in the north-western part of the city, adjacent to the international road
M14. Park will have its own infrastructure which will provide facilities required for the operation of
IP Residents.
The Managing Company of the Industrial Park will be responsible for administration of the IP. All
relations between the Managing Company and LPA are stipulated in the contract of establishment,
operation and administration of the IP. The Managing Company of the Park is responsible for
designing and construction of municipal infrastructure of the IP, maintenance of infrastructure and
service provision to Residents, under contract. The Managing Company is responsible before LPA
for achieving goals of IP development, which will be clearly stipulated in the Contract between the
Managing Company and LPA. In compliance with the strategy, chosen by the Managing Company, it
can also erect IP buildings which will be provided for Residents in the form of lease or purchase,
including by instalments. For services, related to costs necessary to maintain and develop the IP, the
Managing Company will collect from Residents administration fee (or rental). Other services
provided by the Managing Company will be paid separately according to the provisions of the
contract with the Resident.
The main document defining the operational obligations and rights of the Managing Company,
Residents and LPA is Regulations of the Industrial Park, approved by LPA. Provisions of the contract
of the Managing Company with LPA and those of the IP Regulations do not exclude or diminish the
rights and benefits offered to Residents by legal framework.
Residents of the Park can only be legally registered economic entities in the Republic of Moldova,
including the IP.
The goal of the IP. The goal of Edinet Industrial Park is to increase the level of human development
of the population by using surplus labour force in the region, to create jobs for making a part of the
population working abroad return in the region, to create industrial production capacities which
would ensure complex processing of local agricultural raw materials, increase in industrial
production exports, especially in EU countries.
Type of activities developed in the IP. Lack of direct access of the Industrial Park to rail and river
roads, as well as to airports, implies reflection on the entire process of ensuring raw materials and of
exporting finished or semi-finished products by large capacity transport means with specifications
regarding dimensions and weight per axle (7.5 tonnes / axle). Thus, it is clear that the goods
manufactured in the Park should be less voluminous, relatively light and quite expensive so as
transportation costs per unit of production would not significantly increase its cost of sales.
At the same time, the location of the Industrial Park directly near the locality imposes certain
restrictions on production technologies of the Industrial Parks enterprises. They should not pollute
the environment and produce strong noises and vibrations.
Specific production of the Park will be adjusted to economic globalization, phenomenon of migration
of resources and industries. Currently, investors are looking for conditions that would ensure a higher
income level and would allow them implementing competition strategies. This phenomenon covers

32
32
industries with a higher degree of mobility where the share of labour force costs is important. At the
present stage, such industries implies: textiles and clothing industry, industry of producing engines
and electrical equipment of various capacities, radio and electronic industry, industry of producing
machinery and equipment, particularly those whose assembly is predominantly manual,
woodworking industry.
Foreign investors are also interested in industries of agricultural raw material and livestock products
processing.
Taking into account the above-mentioned conditions and peculiarities of development of Edinet
district and of neighbouring districts, Edinet Industrial Park land will mainly have the following
fields of production and services in IP specialization: (a) textile and clothing industry; (b) leather
processing and footwear manufacturing; (c) furniture production; (d) machine and equipment
production; (e) production of electrical and electrotechnical equipment; (f) automotive industry; (g)
transports and communications (storage, processing, packaging).
To facilitate the creation and operation of the Industrial Park, the state, represented by central and
local public administrations, grants to the holder of the title of the Industrial Park and its
Residents the following benefits:
a) exemption from compensation of losses, caused by the exclusion of lands from the category of
lands with agricultural destination according to the Law on normative price of land and
procedure of sale and purchase of land;
b) free amortization or transfer in gratuitous use of public assets to the Management Company for
creation and development of the Industrial Park upon the decision of their owner according to
the Law on management and privatization of public property;
c) the right to privatize the land adjacent to constructions in public property at normative price of
the land, established at the moment of its commissioning to the Managing Company or lease to
the Industrial Parks Residents only after purchase and/or commissioning of constructions and
installations with industrial and related destination, according to the Law on normative price of
land and procedure of sale and purchase of land
6
;
d) granting of tax benefits according to the Tax Code;
e) application by the Managing Company of 0.3 discount rate of the fee of annual payment for
state-owned land, established according to the Law on normative price of land and procedure of
sale and purchase of land, or basic fee for annual lease of public assets, established by the Law
of the state budget for the corresponding year;
f) optimization of state controls over the activity of the Industrial Parks Residents by performing
planned inspections according to the annual schedule, approved by the Government Decision or
unscheduled inspections carried out with consent of the Ministry of Economy according to the
legislation in force;
g) allocation, as appropriate, of funds for creating technical and production infrastructure from the
state budget, local budget, National Regional Development Fund and other sources.

6
Facility stipulated in par. (1) let. c) is granted if investments were made in constructions and installations covered by the
project, on which basis the Resident or the Managing Company was selected, and which value is greater than the amount
consisting of three normative prices of land, set at the time of its transfer in use to the Managing Company or leased to
Residents plus the payment for compensation of losses caused by the exclusion of land from the agricultural land
category, estimated as of the date of land purpose change, of it occurred.

According to the Law on industrial parks, the Managing Company of the IP may also carry out
entrepreneurial activity on the territory of the IP, in other words it may itself be a resident of the IP.

At the same time, a Business Incubator which would support creation of new businesses in the
industry from the fields, allowed within the IP, would operate. It will be established only if there are
some long-term incubation programs. Business Incubator could be a separate Resident of the IP or its
incubation services could be provided by the Managing Company itself of the Park. If the incubation
services are offered by the Managing Company, they will be separately regulated and recorded in
accounts of the Managing Company. Forms and volume of the support, provided by LPA for
incubation activities, regardless of the form of their rendering will be stipulated in a special
Regulation for BI organization and activity. It will also stipulate conditions of eligibility as a BI
Resident (or Resident of the IP in incubation).
Minimal services and utilities, offered by the IP, are:
lease of plot, parcel;
water and sewerage connection;
gas connection;
connection of electric power, telephony, other communications;
roads;
rainwater sewerage system;
public lighting within the Park;
parking for visitors.
The Managing Company maintains internal roads and common green spaces, storm sewage and other
services that are included in the minimum package of services. In addition to the above mentioned
services, the Managing Company may also offer other services to Residents on commercial
principles such as: lease of areas for offices and production, conference and minutes rooms, catering,
consulting services in the field of business planning and development, project development,
marketing and staff recruitment, management and knowledge transfer, audit and accounting, etc. For
this purpose the Managing Company built from its own sources and at its own risk all the necessary
infrastructure.
IP Performance. Main performance indicators of creation and development of the Industrial Park
will be the time of commissioning of the IP, turnover of the IPs Residents, the area occupied by the
IP, the number of jobs created in the IP and in companies outside the IP, the volume of investments
attracted within the IP, revenues to consolidated local and state budget obtained from tax and fee
payments by the Parks Residents and Parks Managing Company.
2.2. Analysis of the opportunity for creation of a Business Incubator within the
IP
In order to create a favourable environment for setting up new businesses in Edinet and only if there
are clearly defined long-term incubation programs, it is proposed to establish within the IP a Business
Incubator in the field of industrial production, including agro-food production, and other activities
associated with the IP profile. Advantages of locating the BI on the IP territory are related, first of all,
to the fact that BI Residents will be also able to benefit from facilities, offered by the title of the IP
Resident. Therefore, after the incubation period the Resident will be able to continue the activity if
Feasibility Study for establishing the Edinet Industrial Park


Feasibility Study on creation of Edinet Industrial Park
34
34
wishing it as the IPs Resident. In such a way, additional conditions for improve sustainability of
founded businesses are created.
Another advantage of BI placement on the territory of the IP is the fact that alongside with
contributions of public authorities, private partners and foreign donors in creation of the Park they
automatically contribute to the creation of the BI as well. From this point of view, public costs related
to activities of stimulating businesses in Edinet and adjacent area are reduced.
Business Incubator located inside the IP can provide areas (i) for lease for the incubation period
under the condition of allocating these areas after the incubation period, (ii) for lease with the
possibility of becoming the Resident of the Park, (iii) the possibility of buying areas and subsequent
privatization of the land, or (iv) will provide parcels for construction of production spaces. In all
these cases, BI Residents will benefit from an adjusted consulting and support package in compliance
with the BI Regulation.
Direct activity of BI can be organized in 2 ways: (i) BI is a Resident of the IP or (ii) BI is integrated
into the IP, in other words it becomes an activity of the Managing Company of the Park. In the first
case, BI Residents become IP residents only after losing the status of BI Resident, while in the
second case, they can become residents of the IP once they have obtained the status of the BI
Resident. These 2 forms of organization have its advantages and disadvantages especially if we refer
to forms of financing.
Business Incubator as the IP Resident can access easier to funding from foreign donors as well as
record of resource use is easier to monitor and verify. At the same time, in case of integrated variant,
there are advantages related to administration costs as well as procedures of transition from BI
Resident to IP Resident become simpler and more flexible. For these reasons it is proposed that BI to
be administered by the Managing Company of the IP. It was this solution that was taken into
consideration regarding the following.
In general, BI activity is an activity that requires support from the public sector. In this regard,
authorities who need and want to create the business incubator must find resources to support BI.
Funding sources of BI can be from local, regional and central public authorities, private partners or
foreign donors.
2.2.1. Estimation of the demand for production areas and services for
businesses hosted by BI
The main tool for determining the demand for business areas of BI is interview, carried out with
companies within SME
7
. 100 economic entities have been interviewed. Based on the interview, a
growing demand for production areas, under conditions more advantageous than those currently
offered by market, has been identified. In addition, most interviewees also requested a range of
consulting services required within BI.
Main findings are:
1. The idea of creating an BI that would provide leased production areas is considered as
especially good by all those interviewed.

7
The total number of SME in 2009 made up 295 enterprises.
Feasibility Study for establishing the Edinet Industrial Park


Feasibility Study on creation of Edinet Industrial Park
35
35
2. 30% of SME wish to start a new business or develop the existing activity inside the BI.
3. 40% of those interviewed have shown their interest in consulting services offered by Business
Incubator. The first place has been taken by consulting services in the field of marketing,
while the second place - by business consulting. The following places are occupied by
consulting services in the field of accounting and taxation, quality management, human
resources consulting.
2.2.2. Concept of creation of BI within the IP
BI will be administered by the IPs Managing Company, which will manage BI as a distinct unit of
activity related to IP management. The Managing Company is responsible for operational issues and
management of the business incubator. Main duties of BI management are the following: to be
responsible for managing the BI; to conclude agreements on lease of areas in the production premises
and of services rendering with the incubators residents; to ensure staff for providing services to
incubatees; to ensure the integrity of BI assets; to carry out activities to attract investments for
incubator development; to establish and maintain relationships with international networks of
technology and business incubators; to create and maintain the database on profile of incubators
activity; to use all legal benefits in favour of incubatees.
BI extension on all lands of the IP will be not taken into account, since this contravenes to the
concept of the Industrial Park. Thus, BI will lease production areas, at prices lower than the market
prices and will provide administrative and consulting services at lower tariffs (see Chapter 5.3.2) as
compared to those offered to the IPs Residents. Tariffs, applied within the BI
8
, will be approved by
the Local Public Administration. If they do not cover the costs related to incubation services, they
will be financed through the incubation programs. After incubation stages enterprises will be able to
become the Parks Residents under equitable conditions or will leave the IP.
BI size and structure. For BI activity, production premises with an area of 12 100 sq.m. on a land of
2.0 ha will be built. BI project will include the costs of connecting production premises to the internal
water supply, sewage networks, electricity and natural gas networks. Also, the project will include
costs of development, including connection of the land to the internal road network. For an enterprise
from BI, a production area of at least 600 sq.m. was established. BI will have production premises as
well as will be able to provide incubation services simultaneously to 20 enterprises.
BI will lease production areas and will provide incubation services for a period of 5 years to
enterprises.
Incubation stages and service portfolio, offered by BI. Stages of incubation process and implied
interventions in incubated enterprises can be viewed in parallel with business cycles of SMEs, as
follows:
Pre-incubation stage. This is the first stage of intervention and it consists in providing assistance to
development of the business idea. This is a stage that can be afforded only by some incubators, if
they have public or foreign support. This type of intervention is often needed in industries, etc.
Duration of this stage is one year. The enterprise is assisted in order to start its own business, develop
business plans, feasibility studies, identify sources and methods of investment financing,

8
Thus, both if BI is created from public sources, as well as if it is financed by the private partner since in the latter case,
losses that will occur between applied tariffs and expenses, incurred by BI, will be recovered by an incubation program or
LPA.

procurement and installation of equipment, launch the production activity. Pre-incubation activity
implies lease of production areas for a period of up to one year.
Incubation stage. This stage occurs from the moment the enterprise has launched its production
activity. Incubator provides services of a high complexity to support survival and balanced
development of the medium and long-term business. Incubator can assist in the plan refining, team
building, marketing plan implementation, record keeping, cost calculation and result reporting.
Incubation period lasts 3 years.
Post-incubation stage. This stage includes enterprises that have benefit from incubation services for
three years. Enterprises are becoming profitable and no longer need services from the incubator.
Although incubators intervention is not necessary any longer, incubator continues hosting
enterprises found at this development stage for a period of one year, meanwhile the lessee decides
where to go from now on.
Operational plan. Operational plan regarding the launch of BI activities is included in the
operational plan of the IP. From the moment of the commissioning of production premises it will
have an operating cycle which will be repeated with a periodicity of 5 years (pre-incubation
incubation post-incubation).

If we suppose that the share of requests for BI buildings has an equal distribution for years, which
will not lead to increase in future incomes, then we will establish an incubation schedule (see Table

In order to achieve the goals of the Industrial Park, many configurations of the Park can be used. The
main elements of this configuration are related to utilities and services provided by the Managing
Company and to delimitation of responsibilities between service providers and utilities, Managing
Company and Residents. All technical solutions regarding this issue can be divided into 3 categories:
(i) The Managing Company provides and ensures all infrastructure elements at the minimum level,
described in the Concept. In this case the amount of investments of the Managing Company is
minimum and more freedom of development is left to Residents. Relations between utility
providers and Residents are one with minimal involvement of Managing Company. The
Managing Company shall provide in compliance with IP Regulation only parcels of land for
business development by the Residents.
(ii) Industrial Park is seen as a unit with a utilities and services infrastructure almost separated,
minimizing the implications of Residents and providers within the Park. The Managing
Company provides Residents within the described technical limitations with necessary utilities
and services.
(iii) In terms of supplying utilities and services the Industrial Park is something intermediate
between the first two solutions. The Managing Company may combine for Residents,
depending on utilities and structure, different approaches on provision of resident with utilities
and services, some may be provided with access to municipal providers, for others Residents
connected themselves to utilities through infrastructure of the Managing Company.

Taking into account the type of the IP, described in the Concept, including the fact that IP will
contain incubation services, a technical solution from the category (iii) is still being proposed. The
main advantages of this approach are to provide an increased flexibility in order to meet the
requirements of utilities of Residents and allow finding an optimum formula in providing utilities,
maintaining IP requirements which will ultimately help to reduce their costs
Another important aspect related the IP is its configuration according to functional structure. In terms
of destination, the IP land is divided into (i) Resident zone, (ii) Administrative zone and (iii) lands,
occupied by infrastructure. According to the IP Concept it is necessary to take into account that the
industrial IP will provide incubation services for a certain type of Residents, as well as wants to cover
a part of the demand of production areas coming from foreign investors for shorter periods of time.
For this purpose, a certain part of the zone of Residents shall be designed for the lease of production
facilities.. As a result, Resident zone is divided into (i) the subzone where the Managing Company
offers production areas by lease and (ii) subzone where plots of land, on which the Resident builds
the required areas with their own resources, are leased. In order to identify the size of Residents
subzones three options were figured out (see Chapter 5.4.1).
The technical solution proposed to built the IP are the following main characteristics:
Offered services:
a) Services, provided by IP:
- lease of land plot, parcel
- lease of production premises / a part of them
- public lighting within the IP
- parking for visitors

- distributed utilities and facilities at the level of each parcel: access to road, water and
sewerage, gas, rainwater sewerage, connection to electric power, telephony and other
communications networks
- registration of flow of transport units
- maintenance of production premises and BI objects, roads, parking, public lighting,
rainwater sewerage, fence.
b) Additional services, provided by the Managing Company:
- lease of areas for offices, public catering, other areas for services expected to be ensured by
providing companies (banking, courier, mail, health assistance services);
- consulting services, provided by IP development service in the field of business planning
and development, project development, marketing and staff recruitment, management and
knowledge transfer, audit and accounting.
c) Incubation services, provided by the Managing Company:
- lease of production premises built by the Managing Company for the BI Residents
- assistance in business implementation and development, including until business launching
(plan, studies, financing sources, equipment and facilities, supply)
- assistance in balanced medium- and long-term development of the enterprise, in team
building, in marketing plan implementation, in record-keeping, in cost calculation and
optimization
- assistance in preparing to leave the BI
Functional destination of lands will have the following configuration:
According to destinations, the IP land is divided into administrative zone, Resident zone and lands,
occupied by infrastructure (roads, public networks, etc.).

a) Zone of Residents consists of: (i) subzone of leased production premises and (ii) subzone of land
parcels on which the Resident builds necessary facilities with its own funds.
Subzone of leased production premises is the plot on which production premises are located and are
designed to be leased by IP and BI Residents. The minimum area of production premises for a
Resident makes up 1500 sq.m. For an enterprise of BI, we supposed a lease of a minimum area of
600 sq. m., while 20 enterprises can benefit from BI production premises spaces.

The subzone of parcels is occupied by production infrastructure, access to internal road and
connections of internal common utilities

. Production infrastructure of Residents will include
production premises / industrial buildings for production activities corresponding to the IP profile,
warehouses, platforms. The minimum size of parcels subjected to lease procedures through tender
makes up 0.51 ha. The maximum number of residents in the subzone makes up 24 enterprises. No
limit for the size of Residents plots is established, so residents are able to adjust the size of lands
according to their needs. But it is obvious that this can happen only on land available for this subzone
and in accordance with the management plan of the Managing Company. Residents of this subzone
can also be BI Residents and enjoy a special set of incubation services, which may include only
consulting and support services.

3.2. Land
Edinet with an area of 870 hectares is an important commercial centre, located in the northern part of
the Republic of Moldova, at a distance of 201 km from the capital of the country and at 8 km from
the Bratuseni railway station, it has the population of about 20 thousand inhabitants.
The land with an area of 18.6 hectares destined for locating Edinet Industrial Park is located in the
north-western part of the town and is adjacent to the international route M14, Chisinau Cernauti,
ensuring a good road accessibility and mobility to international markets (see Annex A). The land has
Feasibility Study for establishing the Edinet Industrial Park


Feasibility Study on creation of Edinet Industrial Park
45
45
access to European route E583. Also, it is located at a distance of 38 km to the railway of Ocnita, at
70 km to the railway of Balti and at a distance of about 98 km from Marculesti Free International
Airport near Floresti. The distance from the land for the Industrial Park to the Giurgiulesti
International Free Port makes up about 463 kilometres.
3.2.1. Legal nature of the land
The land for Industrial Park location an area of 6 ha is owned by Edinet Town Hall, being situated in
the town plot. It is arable land with an area of 18.6 ha, it has productivity of 82 degrees. The land is
free from any legal burdens (not put in pledge, not leased).
In order to create the Industrial Park, the title of agricultural land requires for the Industrial Park to be
preliminarily transferred from the agricultural category to industrial constructions category. For this
purpose, it is necessary to have the approval of Edinet Town Hall and the Government.
3.2.2. Land characteristics
The territory of the Park is located on a plateau, at a level of 200 meters above the sea level. There
are no slopes with a higher level which would determine flooding of the territory of the Industrial
Park in case of heavy rainfalls or snow melting.
The area of the land designed for Industrial Park location makes up 18.6 ha. The size of the land are
presented in the Annex B. Its longest side passes along M14 route. A part of its other sides (southern
side and a half of western sides) have borders with lands in public property of Edinet Town Hall,
while the rest of sides have borders with private lands.
According to data of the Seismic Zoning Map of the Republic of Moldova (scale 1: 4 000 000, year
2010), approved by the Ministry of Construction and Regional Development by the Order No. 25 of
23.12.2009, Edinet is located in a seismic zone of 6 degrees according to the MSK scale of 12
degrees. This thing imposes some restrictions on the degree of seismic resistance of buildings and
constructions, which will be built within the Industrial Park.
Groundwater flows at a depth of 8-10 meters, therefore, no special problems of foundation and
additional costs occur.
3.3. Utilities and infrastructure
3.3.1. IP land development
In order to ensure the functionality of the IP, the following minimum works of land development will
be carried:
Development of green spaces;
Installation of a road and perimeter lighting systems;
Construction of a platform for the accumulation and disposal of solid waste from the common
area of the IP;
Installation of litter bins;
Construction and development of a parking plot;
Feasibility Study for establishing the Edinet Industrial Park

46
Installation of road and information indicators on internal roads of the IP;
Fencing of the Park land along its entire perimeter

Description and specifications of these works are presented below.
Green spaces. According to the proposed zoning, the land of Edinet IP will be practically split in the
zone of Managing Company (Administrative zone, about 10% of the land) and the zone of Residents
(about 90% of the land). In order to provide freedom of development on Residents areas, we propose
cultivation of decorative trees of common spaces of the IP by the Managing Company. Thus, the
arranged area will make up about 2000 m
2
.
Installation of lighting system. Only internal road of public utility is intended to be installed by the
Managing Company. The lighting system will be ensured by an air power transmission line of 0.4 kV
which will pass along their left side. Air line will be installed on pillars, on which pillars street
lighting LED lamps, 24 units in number, will be installed. The lighting system will have a length of
950 meters plus feed line from the transformation station of 303 m. The distance between line pillars
will make up 40 meters. Overall the line will have 24 pillars.
Perimeter lighting of the Park will be optional. For its installation 2100 m transmission line of 0.4 kV
and 53 pillars will be used.
Platform for accumulation and disposal of solid waste. At the intersection of internal public roads
it is proposed to create two platforms for the accumulation and disposal of solid wastes in the form of
asphalted fenced territory, with an area of 16 sq. m. These platforms will serve for collection of
garbage from the common area. Accumulation and disposal of Residents waste will be carried out on
their expense.
Litter bins will be installed at a distance of 25 meters one from another alongside internal public
roads. Their number will make up 40 units.
Car parking plots. Edinet Industrial Park needs 60 car parking plots of 18 sq.m. each. The total area
of asphalted parking plots will make up about 1080 sq.m., which is equivalent to the carriageway
surface of the road of IVth category with a length of 1080 / 6 = 180 meters.
Road and information indicators will be installed along the external public road. The number of
road indicators and information schemes required in the Park will be about 10 units.
Park land fencing. The perimeter of the IP land has a length of 2100 m. Thus, in order to fence
2100 of fence with a height of 2m of metal bars is required.
3.3.2. Necessary utilities
Edinet has a relatively well-developed local infrastructure: provision of electric power is stable and
can fully meet the need of industrial sector; services, water supply and sewerage are functional and
there is easy access to the gas network; there are no problems with connection to
telecommunications networks (fixed, mobile telephones, internet).
The needs of Industrial Park businesses in electric power, natural gas, drinking water and sewerage
(see Table 19) were assessed based on data about the respective needs of enterprises with capabilities

similar to those in Annex 1
13
, and based on generalized rules of consumption (per unit of production)
of electricity, natural gas, drinking water (except volume of water used repeatedly for cleaning their
internal systems) and the volume of wastewater to be discharged through the sewerage.

The land designed for location of Edinet IP is situated at a distance of 115 m from the water and gas
systems and 850 m from sewerage system of the town. Parallel to the M14 route, the power
transmission line of 10 kilovolts passes. Currently unused capacities of these networks can meet the
estimated needs of IP.
From Table 19 it is noted that in order to ensure the operation of enterprises of the Industrial Park, it
is necessary to install within the Park several transformers with total capacity of about 7074 kVA and
their connection to the power transmission line of 10 kV. Since eastern part of the land is intersected
by the power transmission line of 10 kV we consider that is not necessary to build an additional
tension line of 10 kV.
It is also necessary to build within the IP an average pressure natural gas pipeline of 917 meters in
length, which would provide Park enterprises with about 300 m
3
of gas per hour, a drinking water
pipeline of a length of 917 meters, which would provide with drinking water the enterprises of the
Park from the local water pipeline in a volume of about 75 m
3
of water per hour or 20.8 litres per
second.
It is necessary build within the Park a sewage water lift station and waste water pipeline with a
capacity of not less than 63.6 m
3
per hour or about 17.6 litres per second with a length of 850 meters
from the station to the place of its connection with the town sewerage system.

13
Enterprises listed in Annex 1 and Table 19 constitute just a possible configuration of Edinet IP Residents and were
considered for assessment of the need in IP utilities.
14
Except for heat networks, which will be provided to each Resident individually according to their needs.

Capabilities and configurations of roads and internal and external public utilities networks of the
Industrial Park shall ensure for its residents smaller distances from the place of location of their
enterprises to points connecting with roads and public utilities networks that lead to the minimization
of summary connection costs, while ensuring the lowest possible cost for the construction and
operation of roads and public utilities networks.
3.3.3. Internal infrastructure
Internal road
Internal road will have access to M14 route by two stations: one at the distance of 130 m from the
southern border of the land, another one at the distance of 95 m from the northern boarder of the land
(the first one of 128 m long, the other one of 33 m long). Optionally, it is intended to build the third
route through the middle of the eastern side of the land, perpendicularly to M14 (with the length of
132 m). Within the IP access roads will be jointed by the route of 364 and 285 m long, which will be
extended to the southern side of the IP by 140 m. Total length of the internal road is estimated to be
950 m without optional route or 1082 m with the optional route. In the right part of the internal road
the sidewalk for pedestrians will be built. Access of pedestrians to land parcels of the IP will be
ensured by appropriately marked pedestrian crossings.
Pipelines of water, sewerage, medium pressure gas networks and cables for electric power
supply and telephony will be constructed within the channel along the internal road at the distance
of 3 m. In order to install networks, a channel with steps of 1.4 m height will be dug, so that the
distance between the pipelines and cables could be of 1 m diagonally. The sewerage system will be
installed in the deepest channel. Wells of sewerage systems will be installed perpendicularly on the
surface pipeline at a distance of 40 m. In the wells of the sewerage, branches to the pipeline will be
constructed on Parcels of adjacent lands with a length of 20 m. The next two steps of the channel will
be designed for installation of gas and water pipelines in various parts. In addition, branches will be
constructed to water and gas pipelines with the same intervals and lengths of 20 m from the road,
which initially will be sealed with plugs. On steps of channels, from the third level, electric power
and cables of telephone networks will be mounted. The channel will be covered with soil.
Drinking water
Length of internal drinking water pipelines will be equal to the length of internal roads without
access road with the length of 33 m and will make up 917 meters
The approximate diameter of water pipeline is calculated as follows:

For the total water consumption of 10.8 litres per second, pipe diameter will be about 82 mm. Given
the universal nature of IP, for IP needs a polyethylene pipeline with a diameter of 110 mm is
required.


Internal sewerage pipelines
As it has been mentioned before, the sewerage system consists of two pipelines, one installed along
the length of the internal road, the other one at the western border of the IP land. Thus, the length of
the internal sewerage pipeline of public utility will be equal to the length of internal roads of 950
meters long plus the distance to the waste water pumping station of 140 m and the length of western
side of the land of 841 m, total 1882 m.
According to normative data, for the estimated volume of discharged water of 10 litres per second,
pipes with a diameter of 200 mm are required.
Rainwater sewerage system
Republic of Moldova may be hit by torrential rains with possible rainfall of about 160 mm water per
a rainfall with an average duration of 120 minutes. Rainfall accumulations shall correspond to 0.08
m
3
per hour or 0.02 litres per second per square meter of land area. The torrents of water accumulated
from asphalted territory and from roofs of buildings of the Park should be evacuated. The area of
these territories makes up around 30% of the Park area, or 55800 square meters. The maximum
capacity of water discharge at critical points of exit from the plot should make up 1116 litres per
second. Rainfall waters will be evacuated through two pipelines, built from pipes of Maxi type 160
ensuring a discharge capacity of 16 m/s. The first will be built alongside the internal road and will
collect water from the internal road and lands, adjacent from the eastern part of the IP land with a
length of 950 m. The second pipeline will be mounted on the western side of the IP land with a length
of 1020 m.
Gas supply
Common internal natural gas pipelines will be constructed jointly with water pipelines, sewerage
system, electric power lines, etc. Their length will make up 917 meters.
The inner diameter of polyethylene gas pipeline able to meet the IP needs is calculated as follows:

,
where Q is gas consumption in cubic meters per hour, t gas temperature 0 (14 degrees), p
m
- gas
medium pressure in pipeline (medium pressure makes up 0.10132 MP), V-gas speed 15 m/s of
medium pressure,

,
and makes up 65 mm. The standard outer diameter of polyethylene pipeline covering the above
mentioned needs makes up 90 mm with wall thickness of 5.2 mm and will be used for the pipeline
construction.
Electric power supply
Construction of electric power and telephone networks can be made by mounting them in
underground or air channels. We chose the first method of electric power supply, because the
supplier can check at any time consumption and energy thefts from the network are excluded. A
transforming substation will be built for electric power supply. In order to satisfy the needs of
installed transformers, provided in the Table 19, we will choose transformers in order to transform
electricity of 10 kV in electricity of 0.4 kV with a total capacity to cover the Parks needs. Internal
public lighting will be installed in pillars on the edge of the internal road.
3.3.4. External infrastructure
On the area of land designed for the location of the Industrial Park, there is no surface or
underground constructions. In the immediate vicinity there are roads, networks and utilities listed
below.
Access condition to the site
Currently the access road to the Industrial Park is not built. In order to provide access of Edinet
Industrial Park to republican and local road networks, it is necessary to built two access roads of IVth
category from the eastern side of the to the M14 route with a length of 20 meters each. One of the
roads will be built at a distance of 130 meters from the southern side of the Industrial Park land, the
other at a distance of 95 meters from the most northern point of the Park. The total length of
external access roads on the site will make up 40 meters.
Electric power supply
Directly near the land of the Industrial Park, electric power transmission line of 10 kilovolts runs
parallel to the M14 route. Therefore, there is no need for additional costs to ensure access of the
Industrial Park to electric power. Supplier of electric power is Joint-Stock Company "RED Nord -
Vest. According to the decisions of the Board of NARE No. 365 of January 14, 2010 on electricity
fees, JSC RED Nord - Vest provides electricity at a tariff of 145 MDL / kWh excluding VAT.
Water network
The drinking water pipeline in Edinet runs parallel to the M14 route at a distance of about 115 meters
from the IP land. Thus, there is a need to build a pipeline which will connect the local drinking water
network with the Park site. The pipeline will be parallel to the access road to the Park from the
southern part of the Park and extended inside the Park. The pipeline diameter makes up 110 mm.
Town drinking water pipeline has sufficient capacities to supply enterprises, which will be located in
the Industrial Park.
Services of water supply and waste water discharge are provided by ME Apa - Canal.
Tariffs for drinking water are the following:
- for population 12.50 MDL per 1m

(excluding VAT).
Sewerage system
The locality has a centralized sewerage system to which the sewerage system of the Industrial Park
can be connected through the construction of a waste water lift station in the most south-western
point of the land of the Park, situated at the lowest level (at the height of 201 m). The waste water lift
station will provide waste water pumping of a volume of 100 m
3
per hour and it lifting up to 27 m. In
order to mount the station, there is a need for a building with an area of 12 m
2
.
The waste water lift station will be connected to the sewerage system of Edinet through a sewerage
pipe with a diameter of 250 mm and a length of 850 meters.
Tariffs of sewerage services practiced by the local operator are the following:
- for population 10.50 MDL per 1m
3
;
- for budgetary enterprises 15.00 MDL per 1m
3
(excluding VAT);
- for consumers procuring water in the volume of 15 000 m
3
and more during one calendar
month 19.00 MDL per 1m
3
(excluding VAT);
- for other consumers 21.80 MDL per 1m
3
(excluding VAT).

Natural gas supply
The natural gas supply pipeline of medium pressure of Edinet runs parallel to the M14 route at a
distance of about 115 meters from the IP land and has sufficient capabilities to meet the IP needs.
The gas pipeline of medium pressure will link the gas pipeline of the locality with gas pipelines from
Park land and will run parallel to the asphalted road running to the Park from the southern part of the
land at a distance of 3 meters of such road from its right side. Pipeline diameter makes up 90 mm.
Supplier of natural gas in Edinet is Edinet - Gaz JSC. The price for 1000 m
3
of gas supplied
through medium pressure gas pipeline according to the provisions of the Decision of the NARE
Board No. 376 of May 14, 2010 makes up 4 653 MDL without VAT.

Also, it is proposed to perform the following works on improvement of the territory within the
IP:
- To install along the M14 route 3 informative billboards about the IP activity;
- To ensure a green zone of nuciferous trees along the M14 route, at the eastern border of the IP
land.
3.3.5. Buildings
In order to ensure the activity of the Manager it is necessary to build an administrative building with
the area occupied by 484 m

4. ASSESSMENT OF INVESTMENTS IN THE IP
4.1. Land
The average market price of lands from the zone of Edinet Industrial Park is 50 926 MDL per 1 ha of
agricultural land and ranges from 1 743 885 MDL (towards centre) and 1 291 767 MDL (towards
periphery) per 1 ha of industrial land. Based on the price situation in the region, the land price of 18.6
ha for location of Edinet Industrial Park as arable land makes up 947.2 thousand MDL, while as land
for constructions from 24 million MDL to 32.4 million MDL.
The land for Industrial Park is arable land. In order to establish the Industrial Park, it should be
preliminarily transferred from the category of agricultural land into the land of industrial
constructions. According to the provisions of the Law on normative price of land and procedure of
sale and purchase of land No. 1308-XIII of 25.07.97 (republished in the Official Gazette No. 141-
149/1161 of 06. 12. 2001), Government Decision on exclusion of arable land from the category of
agricultural land, this can take place only after compensation of losses caused by exclusion.
Compensation is made according to the rates provided in the annex to the aforesaid Law. They make
up 19 873.34 MDL per one hectare degree.
For the arable land of 82 productivity degree, the amount of cash compensation per hectare will make
up 1 629 614 MDL. The amount of compensation for exclusion from category of agricultural land of
18.6 ha of the land for the Industrial Park location will make up about 30.3 million MDL. Law on
Industrial Parks No. 182 of 15.07.2010 (para.(1), art. 12) exempts the holder of the Industrial Park
and its Residents from the compensation of losses caused by the exclusion from the agricultural land.
Therefore, compensation amounting to 30.3 million MDL will not be paid. Subsequently, in case of
privatization of lands adjacent to enterprises located in the Industrial Park, the corresponding
compensations from the above amount will be paid in an amount proportional to privatized land area.
According to provisions of para. (12) of art. 10 of the Law on normative price of land and procedure
of sales and purchase of land when calculating the annual lease fee for state-owned land within
Industrial Parks, created in compliance with the Law on industrial parks No. 182 of 15.07.2010, the
Managing Company will apply a reduction coefficient of up to 0.3 of the annual land lease fee set by
law. For small towns such payment makes up 0.5% of the normative price of land. The fee per 1
leased hectare of land with a productivity of 82 degrees in Edinet will make up 1 629 14 MDL *
0.005 = 8 148 MDL per year, while for economic entities Residents of the Industrial Park it will
make up only 2 444.4 MDL or 24 bans for one square meter per year.

Since the land of the Edinet Industrial Park is arable land free of any constructions, it does not require
levelling works and does not involve additional costs.
4.2. IP land arrangements
Green spaces. The area planted with ornamental trees will make up about 2000 sq. m. Thus,
expenses for development of green spaces incurred by the Managing Company will make up about
100 thousand MDL.
Installation of lighting system. Given the prices of necessary materials and the experience of
performing similar works, the minimum cost of construction of one kilometre of power transmission
line of 0.4 - 10 kilovolts makes up about 206 thousand MDL. For the construction of the line of 1 253

54
54
meters long, about 258.12 thousand MDL will be spent. On each pillar of the line, a LED street
lighting lamp will be installed at a cost of 2000 MDL. The cost of 24 lamps will make up 48
thousand MDL. The total cost of lighting system for internal public roads will make up 306. 12
thousand MDL.
Platforms for the accumulation and disposal of solid waste. Costs for construction of these
platforms are assessed in the amount of 8 thousand MDL.
Litter bins. Given the cost of an 300 MDL for a -5 litter bin, the total cost of 40 litter bins
necessary in the Park will make up around 12.0 thousand MDL.
Car parking plots. The area of 60 parking plots proposed to be created is equivalent to the area of a
road of IVth category with a length of 180 meters. The cost of one kilometre of road of the IVth
category makes up 16.178 million MDL. Expenses for the carriageway of the road will make up 60%
of the road cost. So, the cost for creation of 60 parking plots will make up 16 178 * 0,6* 60 * 18 / 6 =
1 747,26 thousand MDL.
Road and information indicators will be installed along the internal public roads. Their number
will not exceed 10 units. Thus, total expenses for their purchase and installation will make up 20
thousand MDL.
Park land fencing. Costs for the purchase and installation of 100 m of fence of 2 m height of metal
bars type "" make up about 41.2 thousand MDL. The length of IP land perimeter makes up
2100 m. Investments for the purchase and installation of the fence will make up 865.2 thousand
MDL.

Preparation of Residents plots connection to the network makes up 10% of the cost of the network, or
27.5 thousand MDL. Total cost for water internal pipeline will is estimated at 302.61 thousand MDL.
Sewerage pipes. For the construction of sewerage pipeline with location of polyethylene pipes with
diameter of 200 mm at a depth of up to 2 m, expenses of about 300 thousand MDL per 1 km are
required. Investments for the contraction of internal public sewerage pipelines with a length of 1 882
m will make up about 1 505.6 thousand MDL. Preparation for connection of residents plots to the
sewerage system make up 10% of the cost of the system or 150.56 thousand MDL.
Rainwater sewerage system. We previously stated that for the construction of channel for rainwater
sewerage system along the internal road, pipes of the type Maxi 160 will be used. The cost per 1
kilometre of such sewerage system makes up about 500 million MDL, while for the construction of
the channel of 950 meter long 475.0 thousand MDL. For the second pipe, which will be built on the
edge of the land on the western side, with the length of about 1 020 m, the cost is estimated at 510.0
thousand MDL.
Natural gas. According to the experience of the Republic of Moldova for the construction of a
medium pressure gas pipeline from polyethylene pipes at a distance of 1 km, expenses amounting to
250 thousand MDL are necessary. Therefore, the length of 917 m requires capital investment of
about 299.25 thousand MDL. Preparation of plots for connection of residents sites to the network
makes up 10% of the cost of the network, or 29.925 thousand MDL.
Electric power. In order to satisfy IP needs of capacities of installed transformers, there will be need
for 352 thousand MDL for 1 transformer of TM-1600/10 type, 662 thousand MDL for 4 transformers
of TM-1000/10 type, 221 thousand MDL for 2 transformers of TM-630/10 type and 79 thousand
MDL for 1 transformer of TM-400/10 type. The total cost of transformers will make up about 1 314
thousand MDL. The total cost construction and installation works is estimated at about 10% of the
transformers cost and will make up about 131 thousand MDL. Underground electric power
transmission line of 0.4 kV is estimated at 1 560 m with a total cost of 1 248 thousand MDL. So,
required total capital investments will make up about 2 693.4 thousand MDL.

4.6. Assessment of costs for training labour force
In order to provide adequate labour force for the IP needs, vocational training and retraining will be
organized. We believe that 75% of the necessary labour force will be trained or 1132 workers will be
employed in IP Residents enterprises. The average duration of training course will make up about 2
months. Thus, the costs for labour force training will be equal to the actual cost of training and the
amount of scholarships offered to future employees for two months. The cost of training per person
makes up about 1 400 MDL, the scholarship for 2 months will cost 800 MDL / month * 2 months = 1
600 MDL. In this way, the cost of training per person will make up around 3 000 MDL. The total
cost of labour force training will make up 3 399 mln. MDL.

4.7. Total investments
Estimated value of investment necessary to establish Edinet Industrial Park are presented in Table 25

5. PROJECT FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS
5.1. Introduction
In order to determine what is the best way to implement the project of creating the IP, it is necessary
to carry out a comparative assessment of two types of organization, provided that both cases have
identical specifications at output.
In the first case we consider that the Local Public Administration will implement this project through
the traditional mechanism of goods and services procurement. Wherever possible, we suppose that
funding for building IP technical and production infrastructure will be achieved by allocating funds
for this purpose from the state budget and the budgets of administrative - territorial units (district and
local). In addition, in the first years LPA will incur IP management expenses, construction of
administrative building and its equipping and furnishing. Local service providers will fund the
construction outside the IP of water, gas, sewerage pipes and electric power networks, within the IP
the medium pressure gas pipeline, the transformer station and electric power supply network.
Funding of infrastructure and common utilities outside the IP, such as access road, sewerage, outside
development and funding of construction of production premises for lease by BI Residents are
supposed to be made from public foreign sources. Through the Regional Development Agency we
suppose to obtain from NRDF funds for the construction of the internal road, aqueduct and sewerage
within the IP and for the interior planning. Further we believe that IP administration will be carried
out by the Managing Company created or selected through tender by LPA.
n the second case we suppose the funding of technical and production infrastructure with the co-
participation of public-private partnership. Private partner will fund (a) design works, development of
studies and grant applications, (b) construction of internal road, (c) construction of administrative
building and its equipping and furnishing, (d) construction of production premises for the lease; (e)
will bear the cost of administration. We will also research funding options by the private partner of
production premises designed for the BI. The private partner being eligible for funding technical and
production infrastructure of the IP on the expense of NRDF, will demand funding for construction of
aqueduct, sewerage inside the IP, outside development and construction of production premises of
the BI is supposed to be realized from external sources under the form of grants. The tasks of the
Managing Company are described in "IP Organization and Operation. The private partner recovers
its investment, its costs of management and maintenance of IP objects and obtains a reasonable
income from lease of land and production premises, from collection of administration fees, incomes
from providing services to the IP residents, from payments and fees paid by participants in the
tenders for obtaining of the right of Residents and for registration as Residents, as well as from
entrepreneurial activity that may be carried out according to the IP law.
We will also study the financial feasibility of the project in case of establishing Edinet IP based on
public-private partnership principles, cost of technical and production infrastructure of the industrial
park being borne by the private investor, the public partner participating in the project of creation the
IP with the land plot that will be transferred to the Managing Company throughout the period of the
Industrial Park (30 years) activity.
We will develop estimation models which will determine project cost borne by LPA for both cases.
Models comparison will allow LPA to evaluate whether public-private partnership as compared to
traditional implementation of the project (under own management) meets all criteria with the best

values. The three main criteria for evaluation are related to affordability, risk transfer and value of
money. In order to assess costs, in the first case we will use the Public Sector Comparator
(hereafter referred to as the PSC), while in the second case the reference model of Public-
Private Partnership (hereinafter referred to as PPP).
The essence of the financial analysis is to determine whether or to what extent a project is worthwhile
from a financial, public or social viewpoints. This can be expressed in several ways, the most
meaningful and accurate procedure is the use of performance indicators of investment projects,
namely:
Internal rate of return (IRR);
Net present value of project (NPV);
Benefits/Costs Ratio (R
B/C
).
IRR is defined as interest rate bringing to zero the net present value of investment.
NPV calculates the net present value of investment or capital by using discount rate and a series of
future payments (positive values) and receipts (negative values).
Benefit / Costs Ratio is the ratio of the discounted flow of benefits and the discounted costs flow.
Both for the PSC model and for the PPP model, the results of financial analysis are interpreted taking
into account the following benchmark values:

IRR > r (5%)
NPV < 0
16
Project that worths to be funded
B/C Coefficient > 1

The results of the financial analysis are interpreted taking into account the best result, the lowest cost
of the project.
The key features of PSC and PPP models are as follows:
- net present value (NPV) of the project cost calculated based on cash flow and applicable
discount rate;
- cash flow is determined as the difference between the amount of all project costs and projects
incomes;
- cost estimate based on most recent similar procurements in the field or based on best
estimates;
- identification of all possible incomes related to the project;
- depreciation and amortization is not included in calculations.


16
In case of PSC model and PPP model, condition of NPV <0 is determined by the fact that project cost in these models
= Costs - Revenues, so a negative net present value indicates that the present project costs are lower than updated income
related thereto.

For goods with a duration longer than the duration of the project, by the end of the projected duration
a residual value is taken into account to reflect their potential sales value or value for further use.
The residual value is calculated by the formula:
where,
VR = residual value; Vi = inventory value of asset;
Gu = wear rate of the asset estimated over the proposed time frame.
5.2. General work assumptions
Determination of costs of the IP creation project was performed according to the following basic
assumptions:
1. Inflation rates for future periods can be estimated based on developments of previous
periods or can be used from official forecast sources. Then two approaches to inflation can be
used. The first is separate application of inflation to all types of costs and income. The second
approach consists in forecasting costs and incomes at constant prices. The assumption is that
whatever the future rate of inflation is, the influence will be proportional to both costs and
incomes. For the development of models we will apply the second variant of pricing and
establishing fees.
2. Discount rate. The standard discount rate taken into account in financial analysis is r = 5%
(as recommended by the European Commission).
3. Project currency. All estimates are calculated in constant MDL (project exchange rate of 1
EURO = 16.1775 MDL, 1 USD = 11.7997 MDL).
4. Estimated life of the project is equal to the period of granting the title of Industrial Park (30
years).
5. Since the duration of operation of computers is higher than the term of the project, we
planned to replace this group of assets before the end of the project
6. Assumption of the worst case. We supposed that lease of land and production premises by
Residents at 100% will be reached in 2018, from the seventh project year. All costs were
calculated at the maximum level, while incomes at the minimum level.
5.3. Basic model of the Public Sector Comparator
The basic PSC model represents the full cost of the project of creating Edinet IP, used for the
implementation of the project with traditional public procurement methods. The basic model includes
capital costs, maintenance and administration costs and project incomes.
5.3.1. Cost estimation and their assumptions
Within the PSC model we will estimate capital costs, replacement costs, costs of labour force training
and operational costs of IP organized by LPA through the selected Managing Company.
Assumption of cost estimates. For PSC model building we supposed the following assumptions on
determination of costs for creation and management of IP:

1. All necessary facilities will be built, purchased through procedures of purchasing goods and
services by the public sector. Constructed or acquired facilities are estimated based on the
latest costs or based on recent offers of construction companies
2. During project implementation, we foresaw computers and equipment of the administrative
building. We plan to replace it each 10 years
3. Operational costs include maintenance costs of IP objects and administration fees.
Costs of Edinet IP project are composed of:
a) Capital costs,
b) Costs necessary for training labour force,
c) Working capital and
d) Replacement costs.
A. Capital costs of the project make up 120 176 thousand MDL (see Table 26). Investments in
common domestic and foreign infrastructure of the IP will be made by municipal suppliers, Residents
and the Managing Company from sources of LPA and/or CPA, NRDF, external grants as follows:

Main providers will be responsible for:
Construction of average gas pressure network outside and inside the Park will be made by
"Edinet - Gaz by the suppliers resources.
Electric power provider RED Nord Vest builds transformer station and supply network.
Apa Canal Edinet builds only external water system.
Telephone network will be built by Moldtelecom or another provider
As for infrastructure and utilities, Residents will be responsible for the following:
Connection of IP to the electric power network will be made by the Resident based on a
technical project approved upon transfer of the parcel, the maximum distance from the street
front of the parcel being of 20 m. Installations on parcels will be connected underground to
distribution networks. The installed capacity (kW) will be determined depending on demand
and area of the parcel. For larger installed capacities Residents own investments are necessary.
The control of consumption measuring will be installed by the supplier only after payment of
connection.
IP Residents connection to the natural gas network will be made based on technical projects
approved upon transfer of the parcel, the maximum distance from the street front of the parcel
being of 20 m. Installation of the connection point to pressure and meter, connections shall be
performed by Residents
The connection of all buildings to centralized water supply network and sewerage system
(household, technological) is compulsory. Connection to central water and sewerage system
will be made by the Resident on the basis of a technical project approved upon the transfer of
the parcel, maximum distance from the front street of the parcel makes up 20 m. Residents
whose plots are located in the western part of the IP will be connected to the sewerage system
in the western part of the parcel. For sewage disposal from the Parcel, the Resident is obliged to
obtain the Environment Agreement. Connection will be done by Residents
Supply of industrial water will be ensured through drilling and capture from phreatic layer
(within own plot), based on approvals and agreements foreseen by law. If, because of the nature
of carried out activity, a greater amount of fire water is necessary than that provided by existing
network, an additional reservoir will be built on site by Resident
If wastewater discharge exceeds receipt indicators at the treatment plant, the Resident is obliged
to equip the site with pre-treatment facilities.
Collection and disposal in the rainfall sewerage system results from all impervious surfaces
(rooftops, circulations, platforms). To capture and evacuate rainwater, Residents will have a
separate technical project, which will indicate the measures taken during works of parcel
development. It is forbidden to dispose rainwater in the basement of the parcel, as well as
sewage leak on own adjacent land plots.
Connection of Residents to urban telephone networks will be made at the expense of Residents
and will be performed underground
In order to organize selective solid waste collection, each Resident will conclude a service
agreement with the local supplier

Constructions made by residents will not be commissioned until they are connected to utilities
networks: water supply, household and rainfall sewerage, electric power supply, gas supply and
telephony.
The remaining utilities will be realized of public funds coming from the state budget, local budget,
the National Regional Development Fund or grants of donors.
Detailed distribution of capital costs is presented in the Annex 3. Capital costs intended for creating
infrastructure and common utilities make up 25 490 thousand MDL and are equally distributed for
2012 and 2013.
B. The costs for training labour force were estimated at 3399 thousand MDL.
C. Working capital makes up 2 093 thousand MDL. Working capital is designed for covering cash
shortfalls during first years of activity.

In order to determine the NPV of the project of IP creation, we calculated the residual value for
goods with a lifetime longer than the duration of the project. We established a useful lifetime of the
administrative building for 50 years and 40 years for production premises. Thus, the estimated
residual value of objects at the end of 2041 will make up 30 389 466 MDL.
The present value of the project cost
19
has a negative value,
NPV (PSC model) = -12 251 316,
which is positively appreciated, showing a present value of investment in the amount of 12.25 mln.
MDL.
Analysis of cumulative cash flow on forecast period until 2041 shows that financial sustainability of
the project under condition when it is organized based on the method of LPA public procurement is
checked, so investments will be recovered within the considered time. At the same time, the project
records a rate of return of IRR = 6.0% and a benefit-cost ratio of R
b/c
= 1.09, showing that the
financial benefits of the project within its duration are 9% higher as compared to the costs and
expenses of the project.
The net present value of the PSC model presents the cost of the project under condition when it is
organized on the basis of LPA public procurement, without estimating the risks.
5.3.4. Risk-adjusted PSC model
The risk-adjusted model of Public Sector Comparator consists of the basic PSC model, plus the cost
assessment model for all risks associated with the project of creation of the Industrial Park. It is
necessary to make these calculations in order to determine which is the total cost when the Local
Public Administration organizes traditional creation of IP - through public procurement mechanisms.
Further we will assess the risks associated with the project.
Risk assessment.
The risk is an uncertain event, but it may occur within the process of concrete activity, whose effects
are damaging and irreversible (additional costs, reduction of incomes and / or profits).

The task is to identify all risks and models of their management in order to reduce their impact. This
process is continuous throughout the project implementation and continuous throughout its course.
Within risk assessment process we made the following steps:
(i) Identification of project-related risks;
(ii) Determination of material consequences of risks (if possible to be materialized);
(iii) Establishment of the way to reduce risk probability and its impact and
(iv) Allocation of risk responsibility to other entities or to a third party.
In order to ensure an effective management for each identified high risk, a mitigation plan will be
developed. There are five major responses to risk: acceptance, monitoring, avoidance, transfer and
reduction.
Detailed description of risks is presented in the risk matrix in Annex 6. Each risk was characterized in
terms of impact and occurrence probability. Risk impact may be very low, low, medium, high and
extra high
20
. The probability is the following: extremely low, very low, low, medium, high and extra
high

The matrix can be used for determining management strategy as follows:
- Risks of the first category (probability and impact are very or extremely small / both are small
or medium at most) can be covered relatively easily. Techniques of risk retention are
recommended for this type;

20
With 1 is marked the lowest and with 10 the maximum impact. We qualify the impact depending on notification as
follows: very low (1-2), low (3-4), medium (5-6), high (7-8) and very high (9-10)

- For risks of the second category mitigation techniques, insurance and transfer are
recommended, because their establishment would have a very strong impact on the project;
- For the third category risks (very high probability, medium or high impact / extremely high
impact, medium or high probability), risk control techniques shall be applied in order to
reduce the frequency of occurrence. Control techniques will be combined with the techniques
of transfer / retention;
- Risks of the latter category (with high and very high probability and external impact and very
high probability with high and extremely high impact) should be avoided and removed.
Risk assumptions were determined based on the expertise of the project team.

Calculation basis for determining risk values are initial values of PSC: design costs, construction
costs, operating and maintenance costs, administration costs, anticipated incomes.
Value of risks. Value consequence (in cash) of the risk is the product of percentage consequence and
basic value (initial PSC) of the risk. Risk value is calculated as the product of the scenarios
consequences and probability of their occurence. Approach to project risk assessment was
determined based on the frequency (likelihood of occurrence of event) and the impact it can have on
the project of concerned phenomenon (severeness of consequences). In such case, risk assessment is
subjective and relies on the expertise of the project team. Project risk assessment is presented in
Annex 7.
For the PSC model we calculated the net present value of the risk showed in Annex 8.
Summary of results of the risk-adjusted PSC model.
Risk adjusted Public Sector Comparator is determined according to the following formula:

In order to compare these values with the case when LPA would establish a public-private
partnership, we will build a reference model of Public - Private Partnership (PPP).
5.4. Reference model of Public-Private Partnership
The project of Edinet Industrial Park can be implemented both by the public administration (or LPA
with central authorities), and through a public private partnership. In the second case, LPA will
initiate a public-private partnership with a partner experienced in the project implementation area.
The local administration demands from a private partner a co-funding in order to build some IP
facilities. Within the project, LAP will provide land for location of the Park, will facilitate the process
of obtaining all authorizations, construction approvals, will require financial support for creation of
infrastructure and common utilities from external sources. We will also study the financial feasibility
of the project in case of creating Edinet IP on public-private partnership principles, cost of production
and technical infrastructure of the industrial park being covered by the private investor, the public
partner will participate in the project of IP creation that will be transferred to the Managing Company
for the term of Industrial Park activity (30 years).
5.4.1. Options for project implementation through PPP
The IP land is divided into three zones: administrative zone, zone of Residents and zone occupied by
infrastructure (roads, engineering networks, etc.).

In all three options the lease of land plots of an area greater than the established by Residents
minimum is allowed, by leasing more adjacent parcels.
5.4.2. Type and structure of PPP project
The solution of implementing the public-private partnership within the project on creation of Edinet
IP consists in authorization by the Town Council of a private partner, selected through tender
Feasibility Study for establishing the Edinet Industrial Park


Feasibility Study on creation of Edinet Industrial Park
76
76
according to the Law on public-private partnership No. 179-XVI of 10.02.2008 for coordination and
monitoring of designing and construction of infrastructure, common utilities, BI production premises,
designing and construction of administration office and of production premises, at the request of
Residents, for administration and maintenance of IP assets, including those transferred in use.
According to the Law on industrial parks in case of funding the creation of technical and production
infrastructure with the co-participation of the private investor, functions and duties of Park
administration shall be fulfilled by the private investor or by created commercial association. We
support fulfilment of administration functions by the private investor.
The public-private partnership can be achieved by way of designing - construction - operation -
transfer by which the private partner, within its responsibility, designs, builds technical and
production infrastructure and operates it in compliance with contractual provisions, while at the end
of the contractual term, the private partner according to the contract will transfer to the public partner
the assets specified in the contract. Besides the assets that can be transmitted to LPA upon the
termination of contract, common utilities, BI production premises or other assets stipulated in the
contract can be transferred as well. It is also necessary to mention that another form of designing -
construction - transfer operation or a combination thereof is possible. These assets are
transferred in ownership of public partner under the form of two facilities stipulated in the contract
immediately after commissioning, and the public partner, in its turn, partially transfers to the private
partner (Managing Company) this infrastructure
25
to be managed within the IP.
The legal form of cooperation between public and private sector is the public-private partnership
contract. The term of PPP contract will be equal to the period of activity given to the Industrial Park
for 30 years.
The public partner is responsible for (a) allocation of land, (b) obtaining all authorizations,
approvals, coordination and other permissive documents required by the law on creation of IP, (c)
gratuitous transfer of assets in public ownership to the Managing Company for creation and
development of IP, (d) allocation, as appropriate, of financial resources for creation of the technical
and production infrastructure, (e) support of projects to donors with the purpose to create technical
and production infrastructure, creation of BI objects by the Managing Company.
The private partner within this project undertakes to coordinate processes of designing,
construction, commissioning, monitoring of transfer of finished objects to the public partner, receives
objects in use, constructs facilities on its own account, manages and maintains the IP activity.
5.4.3. Payment mechanisms
The private partner recovers its investment and covers its maintenance and administration costs, as
well as obtains a reasonable profit from the administration and provision of service within the IP.
In the case of scheme b) of implementation of the option 2, when BI production premises are
financed by the Managing Company, losses of the Managing Company on the account of services,

25
After commissioning of the infrastructure, common utilities, BI premises, some assets, if required, will be transferred to
appropriate enterprises managing services (enterprises Edinet - Gaz, Apa-Canal Edinet, RED Nord - Vest JSC).
Common utilities will be transferred prior the connection of Residents and the Managing Company, with the exception of
the sewerage system, which will be transferred from the line of demarcation of Residents and Managing Company plots
with the pumping station.

5.4.4. Costs of PPP reference model
Cost categories in the PPP reference model are the same as in the basic PSC model and namely
capital costs, costs of labour force training, working capital, replacement costs, and maintenance and
administration costs. The real difference in costs is expected to come from potential private partners
in the proposed bids.
Assumptions of cost estimates are the same as of the basic PSC model except for management of this
project by a private partner, selected through tender and a PPP contract.

26
Incomes which can be obtained by the Managing Company as a result of carrying out entrepreneurial activity will not
be taken into account in the calculation model.

The working capital makes up 2 093 thousand MDL.
Costs of labour force training were estimated at 3 399 thousand MDL.

Maintenance and administration costs in case of option 1 of PPP model are identical to the
maintenance and administration costs of the PSC model.
The lowest costs are recorded for option 3, due to the lack of buildings and production premises,
small number of staff. In the case of this option, it is supposed to lease spaces for Managing
Companys staff.
Costs of option 2 when the Managing Company manages the commissioned BI and built on their
own sources are distinguished by paid fees.
Small differences between options are recorded due to changes in the calculation base of property
tax.
5.4.5. Income estimation and their assumptions
Supposed income from leased land and production premises and income from services in PPP model
are the same as for the PSC model. Changes occur only on calculation basis. In the case of PPP
contract, Managing Companys income in the case of option 1 coincides with the Managing
Companys income from the basic PSC model. They consist of income from land and production
premises lease, income from administration and consulting services. As we already mentioned, the
income realized within the PPP contract is that one from recovery of losses from services provided
by BI Residents services at discounted fees. These incomes will be paid from sources of some clearly
defined incubation programmes or by Edinet LPA.
Income from the project implemented through PPP partnership for options 2 and 3 are different from
income of option 1 by the following:
Feasibility Study for establishing the Edinet Industrial Park


Feasibility Study on creation of Edinet Industrial Park
80
80
- income from land lease for option 2 increases as compared to the options 1 due to extension of
the subzone of land parcels area from 73% to 88%;
- income from land lease for option 3 increases as compared to options 1 and 2 due to extension
of the subzone area to 100%;
- income from lease of production premises built by the Managing Company for IP Residents is
omitted from options 2 and 3;
- income from lease of BI production premises is omitted from option 3;
- in the case of option 3 income from payments and fees paid for participation in tenders for
obtaining the right of Resident and for registration as Resident are reduced;
- in the case of options 1 and 2 income from administration fees are reduced as compared to
option 3, these reductions are due to reductions for BI Residents;
- income from consulting services in case of option 3 is omitted, they are lower in the case of
option 2 as compared to the option 1;
- income from recovery of losses from services provided to BI Residents in case of option 2 b is
larger. In the case of option 3 they lack.
Estimation of income in the case of options 2 and 3 are presented in Annexes 14 and 15.
5.4.6. Results of PPP reference model
Calculation of project cost based on PPP reference model is made according to the formula:
PPP reference model = Costs Incomes
Net present value of the reference model gives us the cost of the project in the option when it is
organized by a public-private partnership contract.

Results of Edinet IP project if it is implemented through a public-private partnership show that the
project has a negative cost and is financially sustainable in any option in the analysis, except for the
option 2 b) when the private partner manages the BI and does not have its own production premises
in the subzone of production premises. From a financial standpoint, the project has the best results in
option 3 when the zone of Residents is consisted only of land plots which are leased by Residents,
with a return of investment of 14.4% and a benefits / costs ratio of 1.89, which means that net
benefits of the project exceed related costs by 89%.
5.4.7. Risk-adjusted PPP reference model
PPP reference model does not include risks associated with the project of IP creation. We will build
the risk-adjusted PPP reference model, which includes the PPP reference model and the model of
assessment of retained risks associated with the project.

Project-related risks were determined and evaluated in case of PSC model. According to the
classification of risks, they are divided according to the way of their control in retained risks and
transferable risks. Risks are allocated to the party that better controls the risk. Risks controlled by the
Local Public Administration and Town Hall are retained risks and are automatically included in the
risk-adjusted reference model. Transferable risks that are completely controlled by the private partner
are not included in risk-adjusted reference model.
Table 46. Risk Allocation
Risk Transferable risks Retained risks
Location risk 0% 100%
Designing risk 80% 20%
Risk of increased investment costs 100%
Insolvency risk 100%

Assessment of retained risks in the case of the option 1 when the Managing Company makes
investments in administrative building and production premises at the request of Residents is
reflected in the Table below.

Conclusion. In case of creating Edinet IP through public-private partnership, the financial
results of the project, taking into account related risks, prove that the project has greater
benefits than when it is implemented by LPA. Since the amount of retained risk is low, the
financial results have suffered big changes, option 3 remains to have the lower costs and
greater benefits.

6. ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL FORECAST OF MANAGING COMPANY
ACTIVITY
We assumed to fund the creation of technical and production infrastructure with the co-participation
of the private investor. LPA will involve a private partner except for the field selected through tender,
which will delegate to its functions and duties of IP managing. This project will be implemented
through a public-private partnership contract. The private partner will fund (a) design works,
development of studies and grant applications, (b) construction of the internal road, (c) construction
of the administrative building and its equipping and furnishing, (d) construction of production
premises to be leased, e) will bear the cost of administration. We will also consider the options of
funding by the private partner of construction of production premises for the BI. The private partner
being eligible for funding the creation of the technical and production infrastructure of the IP at the
expense of NRDF, will demand funding of construction of aqueduct, sewerage system within the IP
and interior development of the IP. As in the first case, funding of the creation of infrastructure and
common utilities outside the IP, exterior development and construction of BI production premises are
assumed to be funded form grants from external sources. The tasks of the Managing Company are
described in "IP Organization and Operation. The private partner recovers its investment, covers its
costs of management and maintenance of IP objects and obtains a reasonable income from lease of
land and production premises, from collection of administration fee, income from providing services
to the IP residents, payments and fees paid by participants in the tenders and Residents. Upon
termination of the contract, public assets are transferred free of charge to the public authority in good
condition and free of any charge or obligation.
We will also study the financial feasibility of the project in case of creating Edinet IP based on
principals of public-private partnership, cost of technical and production infrastructure of the
industrial park being borne by the private investor, the public partner participating in the project of
creating the IP with the land plot that will be transferred to the Managing Company throughout the
period of the Industrial Park (30 years) activity. In this case we supposed that the recovery of
investments will be increased compared to the case of co-financing by the private partner through
increase in the administration fee.
Advantageous of PPP contract for the project of creation an IP in Edinet are the followings:
- the private sector undertakes: (a) to coordinate, monitor and carry out designing and
construction works of technical and production infrastructure of IP, (b) to monitor the transfer
of assets
27
created as ownership of the private partner immediately after completion of the
construction, (c) to design and construct administration office and production premises at the
demand of Residents, (d) to administrate and to maintain IP assets, including those received
for use;
- the private partner participates in project funding;
- risk transfer to the private partner;
- brings innovation and efficiency to the management of the private sector financial efficiency;

- ensures improvement of quality of services operation and maintenance.
We will prove the viability of the project in financial terms for the private partner. We concluded that
the most optimal variant is the implementation of the project through the PPP contract.
In order to recover investments, the private partner provides services of lease of land, production
premises and premises of administrative building; it provides services to Residents including them in
the administration fee and direct payment.
The results of the financial analysis for the managing Company are presented in Tables 49-52.

In the case of option 1, the private partner will provide project co-funding in the amount of 58,380
thousand MDL for capital investments and 2,093 thousand MDL for working capital. Private
partner's capital investment will fund designing, construction of common utilities within IP (water,
sewerage and rainwater sewerage systems), administrative building and production premises to be
leased by IP Residents. The residual value was calculated by assuming that the useful lifetime of the
administrative building makes up 50 years and that of production premises 40 years. Thus, the
residual value of facilities with lifetime longer than the duration of the IP project was estimated at the
end of being 30,389,000 MDL.
Maintenance and administration costs will also include the Fee paid to Edinet Town Hall from the
income of leased BI production premises at previously established 70% rate. We estimated the
average annual fee in the amount of being 2,630,000 MDL (it should be noted that this occurs when
the Managing Company manages BI production premises built from public funds).
At the same time revenues of the Managing Company include recovering of price difference from
services rendered to BI Residents at the expense of identified Incubation Programs.
Detailed results of the financial analysis made for the Managing Company according to option 1 are
presented in Annex 18.

In the case of option 2a, the private partner will provide project co-funding in the amount of
9,224,000 MDL for capital investments and 2,067,000 MDL for working capital. Compared to option
1 private partner's capital investment are decreased by the cost of production premises to be leased by
IP Residents. The residual value was calculated only for the administrative building. Thus, the
residual value of facilities with longer lifetime than the duration of the IP project was estimated at the
end of being 1,788, 000 MDL.
Maintenance and administration costs will also include the Fee paid to Edinet Town Hall from the
income of leased BI production premises in the amount established for option 1. In the case of option
2a, the costs are less due to property tax paid only for the administrative building.
Compared to option 1, revenue of the Managing Company does not include the lease fee for
production premises designed to IP Residents.
Detailed results of the financial analysis made for the Managing Company according to option 2a are
presented in Annex 19.

In the case of option 2b, the private partner will provide project co-funding in the amount of
48,673,000 MDL for capital investments and 2,088,000 MDL for working capital. In this case capital
investments compared to option 2a include the cost of BI production premises. The residual value
was calculated supposing that the lifetime of the administrative building makes up 50 years and that
of production premises 40 years. Thus, the residual value of facilities with a lifetime longer than the
duration of the IP project was estimated at the end of being 14,511,000 MDL.

Costs in option 2b are different from those of option 2a by the inclusion of the property tax for the
production premises of the BI and the exclusion of Fees, because the production premises are built
due to private sources of the Managing Company.
The revenue of the Managing Company includes recovery of difference of fees for leasing BI
production premises and difference of the price for services rendered to BI Residents at the expense
of identified Incubation Programs identified. The recovery of these losses by the Managing Company
will be ensured by the PPP contract.
Detailed results of the financial analysis made for the Managing Company according to option 2b are

In the case of option 3, the private partner will provide project co-funding in the amount of 4,535,000
MDL for capital investments and 907,000 MDL for working capital. Private partner's capital
investment will fund designing and construction of common utilities within IP (water, sewerage and
rainwater sewerage systems). This case does not construction of the administrative building. In
option 3 the residual value of is null.
Compared to other cases, maintenance and administration costs are about 4 times less. Chapters of
articles of expenses on property tax, fees lack. In this case, administration expenses are foreseen for
lease of rooms designed for the staff of the Managing Company.
The revenue of the Managing Company includes only three articles: land lease, administration fees,
payments and fees for participation in tenders and for registration as Residents.

Conclusion. In case of all options, the private partner provides maintenance and administration costs.
It recovers its investment and covers maintenance and administration costs, and achieves a
reasonable profit from the administration and provision of IP services.
From a financial standpoint, option 3 and 2a of the project through PPP contract has better indicators,
and thus shows self sustainability and hence viability of the Managers business.
If the case of option 3 the best financial indices of the project of IP creating through PPP contract
were recorded. This allows reduction of the administration fee for IP Residents to 7.6 MDL / sq.m.
with an internal recovery rate of 10%.
Below we present the results of the financial feasibility study of the project of Edinet PI creation
based on public-private partnership when the cost of the technical and production infrastructure of
the industrial park will be borne by the private investor, the public partner will participate in the
project of IP creation on the land that will be transferred to the Managing Company during the
lifetime of the Industrial Park (30 years). In order to compare them with the results obtained in the
case of project co-funding by the private partner, we studied the same options. Exception makes only
option 2a was excluded, because it provides funding of BI construction from state sources.

6.1. Sensitivity analysis of the Managing Company
The sensitivity analysis assesses the impact of changes of input variables on the profitability of the
project.
Methodological approach is based on:
Identification of critical variables
28
of projects parameters
calculation of expected value of return of the Managing Company
develops measures to reduce project risk
Indicators considered for sensitivity analysis are:
Internal Rate of Return (IRR);
Net Present Value (NPV).
In principle, the analysis involves calculating, for each variable of the following indicators:
Sensitivity Index (SI), using the formula:



where, P = studied parameter (NPV or IRR), V = variable, Index 1 = changed values, Index 0 =
initial values.
The sensitivity index is actually an elasticity coefficient which shows the percentages of change of
parameter studied in case if change by a percentage of the variable. If this index is greater than 1, the
respective variable is risk-bearing.
Critical Index (switching value) - SV. This index reflects how we should modify a variable
that NPV takes 0 value (i.e. so that the project becomes unviable).
A small value of SV for a given variable indicates a risk related to that variable: a small deviation
from the medium value threatens investment profitability. The greater the critical index is, lower
risks are.
Identification of critical variables
For this analysis the following variables were taken into account:
Degree of land and premises occupancy of the zone of Residents
Amount of lease and administration fee

28
Critical variables are considered those parameters for which a 1% variation causes an increase by 1% of internal rate of
return or a net present value of 5%

Amount of investment

Maintenance and administration costs.
Buildings assumptions on input variables deviations related to likely values
For each of these variables the assumption of a reasonable deviation from the medium value was
considered being established in the previous sections (financial analysis), deviations expressed in
percents:
For the Degree of occupancy of land and production premises in the zone of Residents, a
decrease by 10%, 20% and 30% was estimated compared to the estimated occupancy rate;
For the Lease and administration fee, a decrease by 5 %, 10% and 15% was estimated
compared to the forecast value;
For the Investment amount, an increase by 10%, 20% and 30% was estimated compared
to the forecast level in the Investment Budget;
For the Income from consulting services a decrease by 20% and 40%, was estimated as a
result of the lack of interest for some development services provided by BI and IP, compared
to forecast value 100%;
For Maintenance and administration costs, an increase by 25% and 50% was estimated
compared to the expected level of expenditure.
Reestimation of the values of performance in the assumption of realization of forecast
deviations
Evolution of indicators depending on variables changes is presented in Annexes 22-25.
The following conclusions are made from the analysis of separated influence on key performance
indicators:
The project presents a high sensitivity to decrease the degree of occupancy of the land and
production premises of the zone of Residents. Sensitivity index in the case of options has
values greater than 1. The critical index in the absolute values for the NPV values has the
lowest value for Option 2a and makes up 31%. This implies that with a decrease of the
forecast degree of occupancy by 31% in the case of Option 1, the project becomes unfeasible.
Critical index value in the case of Option 2a does not differ much and confirms that in case of
a decrease by 37.5% of the occupancy rate and this case is not appropriate. Option 3 is better
compared to others because it has the highest critical indicator. This confirms that upon a
decrease of the occupancy rate by 75%, in case of option 3 the project becomes financially
unprofitable;

Feasibility Study on creation of Edinet Industrial Park

The project shows a high susceptibility upon reduction of the lease and of administration
fees, less high than compared to sensibility upon decrease of the degree of occupancy.
Absolute critical indices has lowest values in the case of option 2a - 24.2% and in case of
option 2a) 38.5%. This implies that a forecast decrease in lease and administration fees by
24.2% in the case of option 2a and respectively by 38.8% in case of option 2a, the project is
no longer financially profitable. Option 3 is the least sensitive both to reduction of
administration fees and payments 78.8% like the sensibility of the degree of occupancy;
In all cases the project has a low sensitivity to increase in the amount of investment.
Absolute critical indices in case of option 1 and 2a shows that upon doubling of investments
volume, the project will be feasible.
The project has a low sensitivity to decrease in Income from consulting services.
Calculations show that in case of all options, the viability of the project does not depend on
the amount income from provision of consultancy services;
The project has a low sensitivity to increase in Maintenance and administration costs in
case of Option 3. At an increase of 4.6 times the project cost in this case the project will
become infeasible. If Option 1 and Option 2b project is relatively low sensitivity. The project
is sensitive to cost increases if the second option.
Conclusion. The sensitivity analysis shows that the project of IP creation through PPP contract for
Option 3 administration of the Managing Company of only parcels of land, is the most feasible.


7. PLAN OF IP IMPLEMENTATION
7.1. Institutional forms of IP establishment
Edinet local public administration under the Law on industrial parks No. 182 of July 15, 2010
launches a project to create an Industrial Park in the locality. In order to operatively initiate
production activities and service provision, to minimize costs related to launching the IP activities,
they will be provided with technical and production infrastructure. We will classify technical and
production infrastructure previously used.
In order to implement the project in this study we proposed to consider several options on possible
finding features in order to create technical and production infrastructure of IP:
1. Full from Edinet town and district budgets, from state budget and the National Regional
Development Fund (NRDF), but only for the groups (a)

In the case of options 1 and 2 the Industrial Park is run by the Managing Company established or
selected through tender by the local public authority. LPA may select an enterprise as Managing
Company, but these services shall be paid. If we suppose that funding of the technical and common

b) infrastructure and common utilities within the Park,
c) interior development,
d) premises necessary to the Managing Company and for provision of services supporting production activities,
optional, if any
e) production premises and facilities for production activities falling within the profile of Park activity, designed for
Residents of BI and IP, if any
f) production premises and facilities for production activities falling within the profile of Park activity, designed for
Residents, built by the Managing Company, if any.
g) production premises and facilities for production activities falling within the profile of Park activity, designed for IP
Residents.
30
In all options the private partner will bear the costs of IP activity administration in the first years of their own sources
that will ensure full means for working capital.

utilities infrastructure will be included in the state and district budget, partially funded from the
account of NRDF, project administration and management is hard to fund during the period of launch
until covering costs of management and maintenances by the income obtained from IP
administration. The LPA budget is austere, with minimum sources for covering current expenditure.
It is difficult to obtain a loan because the LPA has no credit history. Difficult is provision of a
collateral for the loan. Furthermore, LPA can not afford risks, which would lead to suspension of
provision of services or to considerable increase of fees in the locality. However, if the Managing
Company does not participate in covering project risks, it may at any time abandon the project, which
would lead to delays in operating terms.
Possible sources of the district and regional budget are also unlikely because these budgets have
specific purpose, they do not cover this project. NRDF can make only a partial contribution,
however, as applications received from the site are considered and approved depending on
established priorities, project scope, its impact on the community, being in direct tender with other
communities in the country.
As of the participation in various programs with funding in the form of grants, there are different
possibilities, but projects shall be drawn up in written form and tenders shall be won. Edinet Town
Hall does not have enough experience in attracting investments by projects application. Attracting
foreign specialists is questionable, because Town Hall does not have financial resources for this
purpose. So these options make almost impossible project funding.
The analysis presented in the previous chapters shows that option 3 is the most likely solution for
implementation of this project. Edinet Town Council will select through tender under the conditions
of the Law on public-private partnership No. 179-XVI of February 10, 2008 a private partner as
Managing Company. Virtually all functions of IP creating, funding and operation will be assigned to
the private partner.
The public-private partnership can be realized through the method of designing - construction -
operation - transfer on which basis the private partner within its responsibilities designs, builds
technical and production infrastructure and operates it in accordance with contractual provisions, and
at the end of the contractual term the private partner under the contract provision will transfer to the
public partner the assets specified in the contract. Goods that can be transmitted to LPA upon
contract completion BI or other assets indicated in the contract may be assigned. It should me noted
that another form of designing construction transfer operation or o combination thereof is also
possible. Within the second form, facilities stipulated in the contract are transferred in the ownership
of the public partner immediately after commissioning, and the public partner, in its turn, partially
transfers the private partner (Managing Company) this infrastructure
31
to be managed within the IP.
The legal form of collaboration between public and private sector is the public-private
partnership contract. The term of PPP contract will be equal to the period of activity given to the
Industrial Park for 30 years.

31
After commissioning of the infrastructure, common utilities, BI production premises, some assets will be transferred, if
appropriate, to companies that manage services (Edinet Gaz, Apa-Canal Edinet", "RED Nord Vest JSC). Common
utilities will be transferred prior to connection of Residents and Managing Company, except for sewage network that will
be transmitted from the line of demarcation of lands of the Managing Company and of Residents with the pumping
station.

The private partner within this project undertake to coordinate processes of designing,
construction, commissioning, monitoring of transfer of finished objects to the public partner,
receives facilities for use, constructs facilities on its own account, manages and maintains the IP
activity.
The public partner (LPA) is responsible for: (a) allocation of land, (b) obtaining all
authorizations, approvals, coordination and other permissive documents required by the law
on creation of IP, (c) gratuitous transfer of assets in public ownership to the Managing
Company for creation and development of IP, (d) allocation, as appropriate, of financial
resources for creation of the technical and production infrastructure, (e) support of projects to
donors with the purpose to create technical and production infrastructure, creation of BI
objects by the Managing Company.
The advantageous of this PP modality are: the private partner undertakes to coordinate designing
and construction of the technical and production infrastructure of the IP and to monitor the transfer of
created assets in the ownership immediately after completion of the construction, as appropriate; the
transfer of risks related to designing and construction to the private partner; public assets are
transferred to the private partner to be operated within a determined term; transfer of operation-
related risks brings innovations and efficiency to the management from the private sector and
financial efficiency and ensures attracting businesses to the IP, improvement of quality of operation
and maintenance of utilities and provision of quality IP services.
The private partner recovers its investment and covers operating and maintenance costs, and obtains a
reasonable profit from the administration and provision of services in the IP.
7.2. Stages of IP establishment
We will divide activities of creating and launching the IP in three main stages: stage of preparation
and launch, stage of selecting and launching Residents activities and the stage of IP activity.

3 Stage of IP activity 2012 - 2041 (30 years)
Activities and schedules within the project of IP creation are shown in Annex 26.
Stage of preparation and launch covers the period of 2011-2013, quarter I. This stage includes
selection of the IP Managing Company, designing of technical and production infrastructure,
construction of infrastructure and of common facilities outside and within the Park, construction of
facilities necessary to organize IP administration.
Given the fact that Edinet IP is a greenfield one, this stage consists in the realization of several steps,
and namely:
Step 1: Selection of private partner as IP Manager, (a part of activities is already in progress (or
was carried out)):
Feasibility Study for establishing the Edinet Industrial Park

i. First LPA presented the initiative of creating IP and held consultations with central and
regional authorities;
ii. Local public authority identified the land on which it wants to establish the IP;
iii. A feasibility study was developed in order to analyse the opportunity to create IP, on which
basis it will be able to decide on further steps, form and the conditions of realization;
iv. If a decision is taken to create IP through PPP, the requirements of law on PPP will be taken
into account. For this purpose: (a) it will be included by the decision of the Local Council in
the list of projects to be implemented through the PPP, PPP objectives and conditions, as well
as general requirements for selection of the private partner will be approved; (b) the Local
Council will establish a commission for selection of the private partner, will authorize the
executive authority for transmission of the feasibility study to the Public Property Agency
(PPA) and will approve documents required for tender organization; (c) after obtaining the
approval of the PPA, an information release will be published on the tender; (d) the
commission will consider received bids and will select the winner; (e) will prepare the draft
contract with the winning partner on IP creation and will submit it to the Council for approval
and appointment of the person who will sign it;
Step 2: Obtaining of IP title:
i. The Private Company Manager will submit an application to obtain the title of Industrial Park.
It should be noted that obtaining of IP title under the contractual terms (which obviously will
comply with the Law on IP) can be a condition for becoming into force of the PPP contract.
This is natural because the IP title depends on the LPA IP and is the basis for PPP contract
though facilities provided by the IP title. In other words, the lack of this title may lead to
failure to fulfil contractual obligations of both partners,
ii. Town Council empowers the executive body of LPA to form the Commission to grant
technical, legal, consulting support in order to fulfil legal requirements on obtaining the IP
title: change of land purpose, obtaining of decision of local public administration on the
purpose of land, permits, approvals, coordination and other permissive documents required
under the law for the creation of the industrial park, infrastructure and buildings of the Park,
performance of other administrative procedures necessary to create the industrial park, launch
and conduct of its Residents business.
iii. After preparing all necessary documents to obtain the IP title, the applicant files a request to
the Ministry of Economy by attaching all documents required under the IP law (documents of
incorporation of the Managing Company, copies of documents confirming the right of use the
land for at least 30 years, layout of land for IP, land owner's declaration on fulfilment of
conditions foreseen by the art. 5 let. a) and b) of the Law on IP, approvals of holders of public
utilities networks, cadastral records on change of land purpose or approval for the
construction of the facility, the consent of the local council under which jurisdiction the land
for industrial park falls, the feasibility study on establishing the IP);
iv. Examination by the Ministry of Economy of the application of the IP title and preparation of
the draft Government Decision;

v. Approval by Government Decision of granting the IP title.
Step 3: Designing of technical and production infrastructure:
Designing of internal and external utilities and infrastructure, of other facilities necessary to start
construction and IP activities will be carried out.

Step 4: Construction of infrastructure and of common utilities outside and within the Park, and
of facilities of the Managing Company:
Works to prepare the ground will be carried out, including stripping of the layer of black earth,
preparatory works for starting construction. Some of these works can be carried out along with other
previous works. Utility networks, roads and other facilities within and outside IP will be constructed,
objectives related to IP, buildings and other facilities will be developed necessary to launch IP
activity by the Manager.

Stage of Residents activities selection and launch. The stage of Residents selection comprises the
period from 2012 (quarter II) until 2015, the stage of launching Residents activities starts in 2013 and
finishes in 2020. Selection of Residents lasts 4 years, the duration of launching Residents projects
makes up 5 years from the date of signing contracts on carrying out business within the IP.
The stage of activity of the IP is the period in which Residents and the Managing Company will
operate within the IP under a regime of specific facilities.

8. INDUSTRIAL PARK IMPACT OVER THE ZONE
The project will have a strong socio-economic impact as a result of newly created direct and indirect
jobs, of increase in local economy competitiveness and locally attraction of a direct amount of
investment. Furthermore, the project has little impact on the environment, contributing at the same
time, to land improvement of the area.
8.1. Economic impact
Creation of the Industrial Park in Edinet District will have numerous positive effects on the economy
locally, regionally and nationally.

Based on performed analysis and current reality, we estimate the following quantifiable economic
benefits of the project:
Extension of industrial production areas, around 100,000 sq.m.;
Increase of the rate of enterprises survival (SMEs) by the year 2041 in BI of IP 50
companies will be incubated;
Increase of the level and diversification of consulting services in the region;
Further increase of investments by 418.2 mln. MDL or 25.9 mln. EURO (15.1 mln MDL are
supposed through NRDF), including:

technical and production infrastructure 27.3 mln MDL;
administrative building - 4.8 mln MDL;
production facilities 325.0 mln MDL;
production equipment 61.1 mln MDL.
Creation of job:
2,036 direct jobs, including 1,510 production jobs, 26 administration jobs within 2012
2017, through business incubation - 500 production jobs until 2041;
100 - 150 indirect jobs (usable common services, auto, public catering, etc.);
400 - 500 temporary jobs within construction period 2012-2017.
Unquantifiable benefits are presented as follows:
Provision of qualitative specialized services;
Increase in the amount of additional investment at local level;
Through IP, a local image vector able to act as an promotion anchor for attracting
investments to town and district will be created;
Growth of local economy as a result of income obtained both by the Managing Company and
by tenant companies. These revenues will have an indirect contribution to local GDP growth,
which will result in increased competitiveness of local economy compared to economies of
other territorial units;
Increase in the value of real estate and of land in the area after project implementation
following the development of the respective zone;

8.2. Social impact
The project will have a positive social impact on the population within 20 km from the Industrial
Park. It will be manifested as follows:
- Some jobs will be filled by employees of region companies, but unemployed people will be
hired too, and many people who will return from abroad as well;
- We suppose that up to 10% of people working abroad will return to the town and neighbouring
villages;
- The labour remuneration fund will increase by about 102.5 mln. MDL annually;
- Water, electric power, natural gas supply, sewerage, telecommunications services will be
improved;
- The local community will also benefit from infrastructure development;
- Local, Property Taxes etc. will also be increased.

8.3. Environmental impact
One of the primary objectives of IP is protection of existing environmental conditions.
Commissioning of lands and facilities if IP to the Managing Company and subsequently to Residents
is determined by compliance with legal environmental requirements. The authorizations issued by
local territorial environmental bodies for Environmental Protection shall be observed for each
building separately. The Managing Company and the residents will sign a joint declaration regarding
environmental issues as part of the lease agreement.
Location of facilities and operation of economic unities will be done by applying all norms in force
on protection of environmental factors. Economic activities likely to pollute air, water and soil will
be forbidden in the area. All activities will take place in an enclosed sites, none of them will produce
noise or vibrations noticeable from outside, within the site limit. Description of the environment
factors and of some environmental protection measures in Annex 27.
Residents will be required to comply with legal conditions (materials with special regime, safe
operating conditions, environmental protection, labour protection, fire protection, etc.). Production
will be done according to standards ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 14001:2000 environmental standards.
Throughout the entire term of the lease contract Residents will be required to take all necessary and
compulsory measures in order to protect the environment under conditions provided by law in force
related to environmental protection. For sewage disposal on the site of the Park, Residents will obtain
the Environmental permit.

Figure 16. Some measures that will be included in the IP Regulations on Environmental
Protection















During the term of lease agreement, Residents will be required to take all necessary measures
required to protect the environment as provided by law in force relating to environmental
protection. Residents shall obtain the Environment permit to be able dispose waste water from the
Park plot.

The unique plan coordinating all distribution networks. The coordination plan will be
completed with all types of networks (connections), and with any type of work that changes or
completes the overall infrastructure that will be leased during IP.
Approval made by state institutions of the following:
- Street lighting within IP (roads, parking plots, etc.).
- Lighting within facilities sites.
- Day and night lighting of the industrial park.
- Day and night lighting of constructions within facilities.
- Technologies susceptible to emit noxious fumes during operation, hence
electromagnetic waves, or disruptive to air traffic control system
The Managing Company of the Park will continually monitor all running works (constructions,
public utilities, etc.), starting with laying out sites, during works, but also during operation, in
accordance with all kinds of approved documentation (urbanism, technical designs and details
of execution), as well as in accordance with IP Operation Regulations.
Applications of potential residents must contain a report-commitment on the technological
process necessary to run the business in terms of used technologies used and the how they
comply with national and European environmental protection norms. The report-commitment
will be reviewed upon assessment of bids by the evaluation committee.

Annex 27. Description of environmental factors and some measures of environmental protection
ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS
Protection of existing environmental conditions is one of the primary objectives of the IP. IP will be
developed to the extent that it does not interfere with the property of those who own land plots in their
zone, or those who have already leased land and carry out industrial, commercial activities. Lease of
land plots by Residents implies fulfilment of environmental legal requirements
Environmental
Factors
Measures for environmental protection
Wastewater
Industrial waste water produced by the Managing Company and Residents
must be sewaged in full compliance with the conditions specified in the
environmental permit, which requires wastewater sewage (sewerage system of
the IP);

Disposal of substances resulting in the process of operation, maintenance,
treatment or purification, is prohibited
Waste
Waste will not be removed by burning with open fire.
All residual wastes and products will be collected and stored selectively in a
particular developed area for each Resident and Managing Company.
Waste must be collected for recycling or re-use where possible and feasible.
Waste that can not be re-used, will be managed by the Municipal Company in
contract with the Managing Company and Residents
All chemicals and toxic waste will be disposed in accordance with EU
Regulations on toxic and hazardous waste. Documents which record the type,
quantity, time and manner, in which wastes were removed, will be kept.
Waste disposal will be carried out according to the requirements of sanitary
authorities
Air Emissions
Foul odors from activities carried out within the IP must not be detectable
outside the IP boundaries
Concentration of suspended impurities (in air) in buildings must be kept
below allowed limits
Emissions in air of any kind, which may affect visibility in the zone, shall be
approved by the competent authority. The established conditions will be
included in environmental permits
Conditions set out in environmental permits on air emissions shall be
observed. Provisions of national norms and regulations on air pollution shall
be observed
Deposits
Area for storing chemicals / oil and / or solvents will be sealed or protected so
that surface and underground water is not contaminated by leak, according to
national rules relating to storage
Noise
Provisions of national Regulations on produced noise and EU Regulations
concerning noise protection of the staff shall be observed.
