TRUCKEE DONNER PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT Ja s A. Maass, President Board of Directors Joseph R.Aguera John L. Corbett A TTEST. ' Robert A.,tones I James A. Maass Patricia S. Sutton Susan M. Craig, Deputy Dis kict Clerk RESOLUTION NO. 9428 OF THE TRUCKEE DONNER PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT DIRECTING THAT COMPETITIVE BIDDING BE DISPENSED WITH IN CONNECTION WITH THE DISTRICT' S PURCHASE OF COMPUTER HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE A. AutoCAD and ADE Software Application WHEREAS, the District currently owns software application Autodesk Automatic Computer Aided Design ("AutoCAD"} version 10; and WHEREAS, the District has determined that software application AutoCAD version 10 has become obsolete in that it is incapable of running related software programs to perform design and mapping functions and interact with other cad software applications; and WHEREAS, the District has determined that it is less costly to upgrade its AutoCAD version 10 to perform the necessary functions by purchasing Autodesk AutoCAD version 12 and ADE software applications than converting to a new autoCAD software application; WHEREAS, the District has determined that Autodesk AutoCAD version 12 and ADE applications are available directly from Autodesk through a state contract price of $890. 00 until June 30, 1994 at a substantial savings to the District; WHEREAS, the District has determined that purchasing AutoCAD version 12 and ADE directly from Autodesk will also result in substantial savings to the District on other related and necessary AutoCAD software applications; and B. FMS - GIS Database Software WHEREAS, the District currently engages the services of outside consultants to perform mapping design and facilities management functions; and WHEREAS, the District has determined that to better operate the utilities, locate facilities, and service the overall system it is necessary to perform mapping design and facilities management using its own staff rather than outside consultants; and WHEREAS, the District staff has recommended acquiring of Facilities Management System, Global Information System Database software ("FMS-GIS")to perform mapping design and facilities management based on its superior user friendliness, compatibility with mapping systems used by other utilities in the area, such as Southwest Gas, which would allow overlaying various utility maps to achieve an integrated map of all utilities and thoroughfares, costal- . effectiveness, ability to access data currently stored in the District' s AS400 computer system, compatibility with Autodesk ........................... AutoCAD version 12 and ADE, ease of training staff on the software, and cost--effectiveness due to the ability to obtain a discount on the FMS software by virtue of purchasing AutoCAD version 12 and ADE software from Autodesk; and WHEREAS, the District has determined that it is most-cost effective to use the product discount ($4300. 00 rather than $7 , 000. 00) to obtain the FMS-GIS software from AEC Computer System, the vendor recommended by FMS as a reputable dealer who has superior familiarity with the product and is available to provide minor programming as necessary to tailor the system to the District's special needs, if any; and C. UDS Intellicad software WHEREAS, the District is currently designing and drawing new electrical systems, and electrical system upgrades, repairs, and maintenance manually which is labor intensive and not cost effective; and WHEREAS, the District staff recommended acquiring a software application to increase productivity and efficiency in designing and drawing new electrical systems, and electrical system upgrades, repairs, and maintenance; and WHEREAS, the District staff recommended acquiring Utility Design . Software (UDS) by Intellicad to perform its electrical system design and drawing functions because it is the only known program which performs engineering calculations automatically; and WHEREAS, the District has determined that Intellicad' s ability to perform automatic engineering calculations will allow the District staff to develop several alternative design scenarios with the data calculations to demonstrate which is the most efficient design in a time effective manner; and WHEREAS, the District staff understands that the software application UDS by Intellicad may only be purchased directly from Intellicad at a substantial_ discount saving ($5, 000. 00 rather than $8, 500. 00) offered to North West Power Association ("NWPA") and American Public Power Association ("APPA") members for a limited time; D. Computer Hardware for Design/Mapping Workstation WHEREAS, the District has determined that it is neither cost- effective to purchase numerous copies of the software necessary for design and mapping functions to install on individual existing District computers nor possible to install the software on existing District computers because they lack the capacity to run the specialized programs simultaneously as required; and . WHEREAS, the District has determined that it is necessary to create a separate computer work station to house the specialized software .............. and purchase the required hardware to perform designing and mapping functions; and WHEREAS, the District has determined the purchase of a computer, monitor, and digitizer is required for this workstation to perform designing and mapping functions; and WHEREAS, the District has determined, upon staff recommendation and expertise, that the NEC 2111 monitor (approximately $2 , 000. 00) , which received the highest rating by PC Magazine in 1994 , contains all the necessary features to perform designing and mapping functions, is compatible with the software applications, is cost- effective, and is necessary for this workstation; and WHEREAS, the District has determined, upon staff recommendation and expertise, that the Summagraphics Summagrid IV (361' x 4811) digitizer with economy stand (approximately $2 , 000. 00) , which was recommended by numerous vendors, has the strongest market history for reliability and future stability, can best handle all the software applications, and is designed to be compatible with other hardware components; and WHEREAS, the District has determined that the specifications developed for an IBM compatible pentium computer (approximately $5, 000. 00) by District staff will satisfy the criteria necessary to perform the design and mapping functions by having sufficient multi-tasking capacity to handle software applications and future upgrades, drive the graphics, store and manipulate data, and is known to be reliable; and WHEREAS, the District's hardware system is currently serviced by Sandel Avery Engineering; and WHEREAS, Sandel Avery Engineering can provide the necessary hardware and related servicing at a competitive price; WHEREAS, AEC Computer System can provide the necessary hardware at a competitive price and related servicing and can provide the FMS- GIS software application; and WHEREAS, the District has determined that the hardware necessary to perform design and mapping functions can be purchased from either Sandel Avery Engineering or AEC Computer Systems; and WHEREAS, various California court decisions, including Graydon v. Pasadena Development Agency_, 104 Cal.App. 3d 631 (1980) , hold that if the subject of a contract is such that competitive proposals would be unavailing or would not produce an advantage and the advertisement for competitive bids would thus be undesirable or impractical, a public agency may dispense with competitive bidding; and WHEREAS, due to the facts set forth above, competitive bidding would be unavailing and would not produce an advantage to the District, and the advertising for competitive bids would not produce an advantage to the District and would be undesirable; and WHEREAS, the District has determined that all the necessary software and hardware to perform designing and mapping functions are not available from one vendor; WHEREAS, the District has determined that to satisfy the specific needs of the District for designing and mapping, the District must acquire specific software and hardware items; and WHEREAS, the District has determined that the software necessary to perform designing and mapping functions does not exceed $10, 000; and WHEREAS, the District has determined that the purchase of the necessary hardware does not exceed $10, 000; and WHEREAS, the District has determined that if all the hardware and the FMS-GIS software application are purchased from AEC Computer systems it will exceed $10, 000; and WHEREAS Public Utilities Code Section 20206.4 generally requires that the District seek competitive bids in connection with the purchase of goods; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Directors adopts the above recitals as its findings; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the Board of Directors that for the reasons set forth above, the District finds that competitive bids for Autodesk AutoCAD version 12 and ADE, FMS-GIS, and Intellicad software applications and necessary hardware of a IBM compatible pentium computer, NEC 2111 monitor and Summagraphics Summagrid IV digitizer would be unavailing and would not produce an advantage to the District and the advertisement for competitive bids would not produce an advantage to the Distract and would be undesirable and costly. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Distract shall therefore dispense with competitive bidding for the acquisition of Autodesk AutoCAD version 12 and ADE, FMS-GIS, and Intellicad software applications and necessary hardware of a IBM compatible pentium computer, NEC 21}1 monitor and Summagraphics Summagrid IV digitizer, and the District staff is authorized to purchase the AutoCAD version 12 and ADE software applications directly from Autodesk under the special state contract price, to purchase the FMS-GIS software applications from AEC Computer Systems, to purchase UDS software application directly from Intellicad, and to negotiate directly with Sandel. Avery Engineering and AEC Computer Systems for the purchase of an IBM compatible pentium computer, NEC 2111 monitor, and Summagraphics Summagrid IV.

J-88,049.28 29,039.58 59,009.70 TDPUD STAF REPORT June 16, 9994 ...:TO: Board of Directors FROM ,Peter L. Nolzmerster, General Manager SUBJECT. Manager's Report AG ENDA Following is a description of some of the things I have spent time on during the next month. SPPCo arbitration During the deposition meeting, SPPCo staff expressed interest in receiving a settlement proposal from us. 1 drafted a settlement document and sent it to Bob McDian-nid for review. We have talked by phone several times and a final document is now ready to go to SPPCo. Retail wheelin and WRTA I have been receiving documents from CMUA and NCPA regarding testimony at the CPUC. I drafted a document describing the impact of retail wheeling on Truckee Donner PUD for use by CMUA and NCPA. I have discussed the NCPA intervention at FERC relating to the Western Regional Transmission Association (WRTA). Language in the intervention describes the dispute between SPPCo and TDPUD over transmission access. Contracting procedures A workshop was held for our staff regarding the legal requirements for contracting. We discussed purchasing, bidding and contract provisions. We have several new people involved in purchasing and contracting and we needed to conduct a workshop to make sure we were all following a common set of rules. Steve Gross and Chrintina Bark led the workshop discussion. Personnel issues I have been working with Egbert Mertens Zur Borg to make sure there is a smooth transition into his retirement. Egbert is leaving the PUD because of medical problems; he is receiving long term disability payments from our insurance carrier. A grievance was filed by an employee and 1 am processing it through normal channels. Meeting with Cooperative Personnel Service Mary Chapman man and I met with the staff of CPS to discuss their contract with us for development of personnel policies. We will soon be meeting with the Personnel Committee of the Board to involve them in the process. 1 also discussed with CPS staff our desire for a proposal to do research on MOU issues in preparation for bargaining later this year l will be getting a proposal from CPS which will be brought to the Board for consideration- Facilities fees l met with District staff to review the comments of Directors regarding the facilities fee report. This matter has been referred to the Water Committee and I spent time with staff preparing to bring the issue of AB 1600 and facilities fees to the Committee. Meefing5 with develo ers I get involved in some developments. 1 met with developers relating to Gooseneck Village and Coachland Mobile Home Park. In-house meeting . Two Board agendas and packets were prepared. One ail-employee meeting and four staff meetings with department heads were held_ PL.H/smc Truckee Donner Public Utility District Board of UrGctors Joseph R.Agues John L. Corbett Business Office Engineering Services Robert A.Jones (916) 587-3896 (916) 587-3944 FAX(916) 587-5056 James A. Maass Patricia S. Sutton General Manager Peter L. Holzmaister ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES: MAY, 1994 STAFF REPORT Submitted by Mary Chapman, June 13, 1994 CUSTOMER SERVICES: The Customer Services Department has been moderately active with summer transfers. Their work goes much faster with the AS400 computer system. We have now had the phone system installed for almost one year. The staff tells me that it has been wonderful and everyone seems to like it. We haven't received any complaints from our customers. They have been very receptive about leaving messages on voice mail when employees have not been available. Many calls go directly to employees on their direct dial numbers. This has helped alleviate the pressure on the front office staff who answer the majority of incoming calls and wait on all of our customers. BILLING: The billing department is current in their daily work. Rosana has been working on various billing problems, balancing billing records and statistical reports. She has also been working with me to prepare the electric distribution analysis for the rate study. ACCOUNTING: The accounting staff has been busy performing their normal daily work as well as preparing the financial records for April, 1994. The April reports (Financial Statements, Investment Letter and Statement of General Fund) are attached. The 4/94 Budget Report was not ready in time for this report. I will hand it out on Monday and briefly review the results with the Board. The May reports should be ready for the first meeting in July. It is again time for Raucher Pierce Refsnes to do another arbitrage calculation for the 1991 Water System Improvement Project Certificates of Participation. The calculation period is from November 13, 1993 through May 13, 1994. 1 am currently reviewing all of the SCADA related expenditures and updating the information that we provide to them to perform the calculation. I'm sure that we will receive another penalty. Hopefully, this will be our last one. Post Office Box 309 11570 Donner Pass Road Truckee, California 96160 Last month I attended an APPA FERC accounting class. It was very comprehensive and well done. The main focus was on accounting principles and cash management. There were several useful ideas presented, particularly relating to reporting and cash management. I plan on using a lot of the material provided for doing training sessions with our staff on utility accounting. COMPUTER OPERATIONS: We have recently taken a survey of all computer users to identify any loose ends that are still pending from our hardware and software conversions and new equipment that was installed. We also asked the staff to identify any training needs that are still pending. The results will be compiled and the pending items will be resolved within the next few weeks. We have tentatively scheduled for Orcom to come the week of July 5, 1994 to do our final program installation which is Miscellaneous Accounts Receivable. This is a computerized system to bill and track all the miscellaneous bills that the District sends out (i.e. rental charges, pole contacts, Hirschdale assessment billings). PERSONNEL: Peter and I will be visiting Cooperative Personnel Services on Wednesday of this week to discuss their proposal for assistance in policy development and employee training including a proposed schedule. Since the District will be entering into union negotiations soon, we will also be asking Cooperative Personnel Services for a proposal to perform a wage and benefit survey. 10594MOLY_RPT 1 -t FEE: Ul IT i .. 6 .« E T ✓ STOIRK FUR --Ti-.

STAFF RLI© R T dunes, ,9 rFrmum: Board of Directors Bob Quinn, Electric Superintendent May Operations Report AGENDA ITEM During May, our electrical crews were kept busy with a variety of projects Maintenance, development agreement, new service, and SCADA projects vvere completed. The following is a brief description of the work undertaken.- Work continued on East River St installing poles and transferring primary lines to clear residences along the street. A capacitor bank was installed at Teichert Aggregates to correct voltage problems being experienced at TTSA. Three transformers vvere installed for new residences Circuitry was upgraded to facilitate the transference of load between Donner Lake substation and Tahoe-Donner substation. Donner Lake substation was taken off line to permit installation of equipment necessary for the SCADA system. While out of service, maintenance was perfomned on the 60KV line coming into the sub and to the buswork in the substation. Maintenance work was started in the Meadow Park area. This included the installation of new poles and secondary reconductoring. On May 24th a lightning strike created an outage of approximately 1112 hours. Four tap fuses were blown and one cut-out arrestor combination destroyed. Forty-seven service orders vvere completed by the service crew(temporaries, temp to permanent, or relocate service) as well as numerous underground locates. One member of staff attended a training school on substation regulator repair. Staff continued work with the water department on the SCADA as well as maintenance at various pump sites. Additionally, monitoring of the electrical contractor installing the emergency power for the pump stations was undertaken. STAFF REPORT Fe a--ry 16, � To: Peter Nolzmeister From: Bob Quinn Subject: RECENT OUTAGES AGENDA ITEM 1Z This past week we have had two outages that effected a large number of our customers. Both occurrences were within substations and cannot be attributed to weather as, in both cases, the climatic conditions were excellent. Tahoe-Donner Outage: At approximately 11:OOPM on thursday, June 9th, an insulator failed on Tahoe-Donner circuit #1. This allowed the primary conductor to come into contact with the neutral conductor and cause the tap line fuse to open at the comer of Davos and Northwrxds. The fault current caused the breaker in the substation to open creating an outage to all our customers on circuit #1. After patrolling the line and isolating the problem area, the breaker was closed to restore power to the majority of customers on that circuit At the moment the breaker was closed in the station a large flash was observed emanating from the center transfomier within the substation. l would like to point out during a recent inspection of the station involved, a connection on the transformer was found to be in near failure mode. Specialized fittings were ordered to make repairs and we were awaiting arrival of those specialized parts when this outage occurred. Wayne Cummings and Jim Wilson, in anticipation of problems, collected materials to be used for emergency repairs in the event of a failure before arrival of the ordered equipment Unfortunately, the emergency repairs were needed. While we were not in total failure mode, at 1:17AM, June 1Oth, 1 made a decision to take Tahoe-Donner station off line to prevent further damage to the transfomaer or equipment_ At 1:50AM, crews completed emergency repairs and power was restored to Tahoe-Donner customers: in the near future this station's load wi11 have to be transferred to other stations to facilitate permanent repairs. As a result of this problem within the substation, a crew was assigned to work the night of June 10th to infra-red all connections and equipment within all our stations. No other problems appeared at that time. Truckee Circuit#4 Outage: On Wednesday, June 15th, another outage occurred at approximately 2:1OPM. This outage was partial in nature as only one phase of the three phase line was de-energized Customers along Donner Pass Road, including the TDPUD building, were experiencing partial power or total power failure. This indicated a line jumper was open somewhere on the system as the breaker had not opened . After extensive patrolling, an open jumper was found within the substation. At 3:21PM, field switches were closed transferring circuit #4's load to cireuit#3 2 and restoring power to all customers effected. Repairs were then made in the station and the system restored to normal without further disruption of power. Last fnday this station was checked with the infra-red camera and did not show a problem. A possible explanation is our loads are not extremely large at this time and this does not create the optimum circumstance for infrared imaging. The use of the lR camera is an ongoing preventative maintenance procedure and will continue as loads rise. These failures cannot be attributed to a lack of maintenance.
