Steichen, Line Superintendent Date: February 11, 2010 RE: Beaver Point & Peakview Circuit Upgrades 2010 — Recommendation to Accept Bids Background: In June, 2009, Light & Power was authorized to proceed with the engineering and design on the remainder of the distribution system improvements funded by Light & Power bond revenues. Three areas have been identified as priorities for upgrades: the Beaver Point Circuit, the Peakview Circuit, and the Fish Creek Circuit. Design was completed on Beaver Point and Peakview, so these projects were put out to bid in January, 2010 (see attached vicinity map). The bid results are as follows: Beaver Point Circuit Upgrade No bid provided Brink Electric Construction Company, Inc. Hamlin Electric Company $162,373.34 Selcon Utility $101,914.96 Sturgeon Electric Company, Inc. $281,327.96 Beaver Point material cost estimate from L&P: $73,866.27. Total with low bid & materials: $175,781.23 Peakview Circuit Upgrade Brink Electric Construction Company, Inc. No bid provided Hamlin Electric Company $235,392.38 Selcon Utility no bid provided Sturgeon Electric Company, Inc. $327,752.33 Peakview material cost estimate from L&P: $267,462.35 Total with low bid & materials: $502,854.73 Budget: Account # 502-7001-580.33-30 (Station Equipment) contains $1,250,000 distribution system upgrades; total costs for both projects, including low bid and materials, is estimated at: $678,635.96.

Steichen, Line Superintendent Date: February 11, 2010 RE: Prospect Avenue Utility Undergrounding Update Background: The Public Works Department is preparing to rebuild Prospect Avenue bypass (Stanley Avenue west to Ouray Drive = 2500') this spring. In October, 2009 A-1 Excavation was awarded $110,289.36 for the trench and conduit installation required for Light & Power to underground all the existing overhead utilities prior to the road project. Project Update: A-1 Excavation started on the upper portion of the project from Fir Avenue west to Ouray Drive. This is the portion where Public Works and Light & Power are sharing the trench — the new Public Works drainage system is being installed under Light & Power's new electric conduits. Work has progressed slowly, mostly due to weather, frost, and some blasting that was required to attain trench depths. A-1 Excavation is currently finishing up their work on the upper portion and will be moving to the lower portion of the project. The lower portion starts at the Prospect Avenue/Stanley Avenue intersection and continues west to the hospital entrance. Light & Power crews have been working at the Stanley Avenue/Prospect Avenue intersection installing the new riser poles, primary cabinets, padmount transformers, anchors, guy wires, fiber vaults, etc. in preparation for the underground conversion. The Prospect Avenue underground project is approximately 25% complete at this time.

At this time, we plan to proceed with a partnership with the Colorado Governor's Energy Office (GEO) to receive matching grants for residential photovoltaic installation and for insulation and air sealing. The GEO will be providing all administration for this year's partnership grants and is expected to launch these programs in late March. In addition, EPL&P has partnered with Platte River Power Authority to provide 230 CFL bulbs for installation in properties managed by the Estes Park Housing Authority. In another interagency effort, Estes Park utilities, Estes Valley Fire Protection District and Larimer County Workforce Center have partnered to provide CFL bulbs, water conservation devices, and smoke detectors for approximately 40 area low-income homes. Estes Park Utilities and the fire district will provide the hardware, and the work force will provide the labor for this effort. EPL&P also plans on providing energy efficient lighting through Platte River's "Lighten Up" program for the Museum this year. Other efforts include working with Mike Rubala at Platte River on a research project regarding all -electric homes in Estes Park. Mike plans to do energy assessments of select homes to determine where funding would be best utilized to make recommendations to Platte River on future rebate programs for this area. m 7170ViN of .ESTES 11111'11111111.1111,11,1,11,1„,„„1.);,!,!,!,!".".",1111011111 1111,111, 111111111111 EVIVIV.111 Project Fund Amount GEO Partnership/Residential PV 502-6501-560.26-25, Energy Efficiency $25,000 GEO Partnership/Insulation & Air Sealing 502-6501-560.26-25, Energy Efficiency $25,000 Conservation & Efficiency Effort 502-6501-560.25-25, Energy Efficiency $900 Conservation & Efficiency Effort 503-6300-540.25-34, Customer Service Lines $300 CFL Bulbs for EPHA 502-6501-560.26-25, Energy Efficiency $368.00 Museum Lighting 502-6501-560.26-25, Energy Efficiency TBD Direct Mail, publicity for programs 502-6501-560.26-25, Energy Efficiency TBD Budget: 502-6501-560.26-25 2010 Energy Efficiency $130,000 Page 2 Report 1:0 • N OF FSITS PARIK 1111,00iivliohilholvs, lill,, iflhIJIL , i111,11,1,1,111 To: Utilities Committee From: Jeff Boles, Water Superintendent Date: February 11, 2010 RE: Marys Lake Water Treatment Facility Update Background: The Marys Lake Water Treatment Facility commissioning is coming to an end. We operated the plant during the January testing and produced 3.1 million gallons from that facility. At the end of January, we completed the system alarm for the plant which added an additional 426 call -out alarms for our operators from the SCADA system. Once the alarms were operational, we were able to start running the facility on a 24-hour basis and we shut off the Glacier Creek Water Plant on February 1, 2010. The 28-day acceptance test is scheduled to start on Monday, February 8, 2010. The grand opening for the facility is tentatively scheduled for March, but will depend upon the acceptance test results or test extension if needed. Page 1 i 92
