Attn: Board of Directors
W -- ear honorable Members :
After a careful review of- our bid package submittal on the
subject protect, we discovered two m&Jor errors in our
preparation of the bid schedule for contract "C" . ie,
1) The omission of the asphalt costs (Material & Trucking)
from the applicable bid items . 2) The second error occurred
upon the issuance of addendum 0 2, which changed the rock
excavation to I,O00 cubic yards. This resulted In the
necessity of adding an Air-Trac drill and crew to our coat
sheet. During the operation of manually transferring from
the work sheet to our final "coat check aheet" these two
costs were not picked up and the end result was a grand total
error of $ 67 , 068. 00,
We find our present circumstances both distasteful and
disturbing. We respectfully request that you throw our bid
out and return our bid. bond. We are very sorry about the
inconvenience this must have esueed you, and hope .in the
future we have an opportunity to bid oa your projects.
Respectfully,
Boyd Beare-President

most beneficial in our transmission discussions with Sierra
Pacific Power Company and PG & E.
I suggest the Board authorize me to draft a letter for the
Board President supporting AB 1166 .
4 . Closing on Certificates of Participation
Our COP financing is complete; the funds are on deposit in

Subject: A.B. 1166
i
�eaxP.ssemblyman �Tascance3los:
i
1 am'writing today to express our strong support far A.B. 1166
introduced by Assemblywoman Gwen Moore and dealing with public
utility transmission system computer models. The Northern
California power Agency (NcpA) o-wrns, operates and constructs
geothermal and hydroelectric power statics and trans-aission
facilities on behalf of our fourteen (14) consumer--owned electric
Utilities (Alameda, Biggs, Gridley, Healdsburg, Lodi, Lompoc, Palo
Alto, Redding, Roseville, Santa Clara, and Ukiah: the ?luzmas--Si.e_ra
Rural Electric Cooperative, the Truckee-Donner Rub'is Utility
District and the 'fur lock Irrigation District) . These non-profit
electric companies provide rel-able competitively priced electric
service to more than 580, 000 consumers .in northern and central
California. Two of nC?Als members are the oldest electric
utilities in the state.
We encourage you and other Ways and Means Committee members to
support. A.3. 1.1.66 when your committee meets early next week. The
need for legislation in this area cannot be denied. N11 affected
parties using the coon grid transmission system in California
have 'expressed frustration and even outrage at the appalled lack of
transmission information now in the public domain. A.B. 1166 would
change that by requiring the availability of these very important
computer models in appropriate proceedings at thec California public
Utilities Commission.
3
This 'change above, will significantly improve the staters ability
to regulate this important ccn=odi.ty. Thank you for considering
our request.
Sincerely,
