AGENDA ITEM #7
Public Utility District
MEETING DATE: August 20, 2025
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: TJ Dwyer, Water Operations Manager
Chad Reed, Water Utility Director
SUBJECT: Consideration of a Contract for Hirschdale Well Rehabilitation
Services
APPROVED BY:
Wiz_ �/
Brian C. Wright, General Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the General Manager to execute a construction services contract with Eaton
Drilling Company LLC to complete the Hirschdale Well Rehabilitation Project in the
amount of $32,627.02 plus a 10% change order authorization for a total not to exceed
$35,890.00.
BACKGROUND:
The Truckee Donner Public Utility District water system is fed by 10 active groundwater
wells, which require regularly scheduled inspection and maintenance to ensure both
adequate water flow and water quality.
The District has developed a 10-year water utility capital improvement plan (CIP)
outlining the capital maintenance and improvement needs. Included within the water
utility's 10-year CIP is the maintenance and rehabilitation of the District's groundwater
well facilities to ensure the long-term reliability of critical water pumping resources. A
key benefit to preventative maintenance programs is the scheduling of predictive and
preventative maintenance and repairs during non-peak demand times. Initially, the
Water Department planned to complete maintenance to Prosser Heights well in
FY2025. However, Hirschdale Well has developed unforeseen pump issues, resulting
in loss of productivity. For this reason, maintnenace to Hirschdale Well has been re-
prioritized ahead of Prosser Heights Well.
Hirschdale Well is a municipal well that produces 34 gallons per minute (GPM) of
potable water for the Hirschdale community. The well is outfitted with a 7.5 -horsepower
(Hp) submersible pump set at 363 feet below ground surface, which is slated to be
replaced during the rehabilitation. To remove the pump/motor for replacement, the
column and wire to the pump must also be removed. All pieces will be inspected once
removed, and if any pieces are found to be out of tolerance, they will be replaced as
part of the proposal. The existing screens and casing will be brushed and developed as
Page 1 of 4
Page 4 of 181
required. Ideally, after the rehabilitation, this well should have greater flow through the
screened interval, producing less drawdown during active pumping, and an increase in
productivity.
ANALYSIS AND BODY:
The Request for Bids was divided into a "Bid Schedule A" that included the primary
scope of work, and a "Bid Schedule B" that identified additional optional materials/work
that may be required following shop inspections of the well assemblies. Bid Schedule A
included the following scope of work:
• Mobilization/Demobilization
• Supply New 7.5 HP submersible pump and motor
• Removal/Reinstall 370' of 2" Drop Pipe
• Shop inspection of all equipment
• Video inspection
• Brushing and bailing
• Provide and install well-sounding tube
• Well disinfection
• Misc. Shop Work and Materials
Schedule B comprises labor and materials that will depend on the shop inspection of
the equipment once it is removed from the well hole. The scope of work for Schedule B
includes:
• Furnish new power supply cable
• Pump and motor with additional time for swabbing the screens for
redevelopment
The lowest responsive bidder was determined based upon the total bid costs in
Schedule A for Hirschdale Well. As indicated above, work included in Schedule B will
be optional materials/work based upon video log and shop inspection of well
assemblies.
The District began advertising a Request for Bids on July 18th 2025, and the bid
opening was held at 3:00 pm on August 11th . One bid was received:
SUMMARY OF BIDS
Bidder Location Total Bid for Total Bid for Responsive
Schedule A Schedule B
Eaton Drilling Woodland, $29,900.93 $2,726.09 Yes
Company LLC CA
Page 2 of 4
Page 5 of 181
Following a review for responsiveness and compliance with District standards, Eaton
Drilling Company LLC was determined to be the lowest responsive bidder. Eaton
Drilling submitted a cashier's check as bid security in accordance with the bidding
documents; however, they did not submit the accompanying bid bond form. Pursuant to
California Public Contract Code § 4101(b), public agencies may waive inconsequential
bid defects or irregularities that do not affect the amount of the bid or give a bidder a
material advantage over others. Based on staff's review, the omission is deemed
a minor irregularity that does not impact bid fairness or competitiveness and may
therefore be waived.
The staff is recommending a total contract authorization to include both schedule A
and B, plus a 10% change order allowance for a not to exceed amount of
$35,889.72.
According to reference checks, Eaton Drilling Company LLC has established a long
history with groundwater well rehabilitation. The staff anticipate this project will start in
the summer of 2025.
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES:
District Code 1.05.020 Objectives:
1. Responsibly serve the public.
3. Provide reliable and high quality water supply and distribution system to meet
current and future needs.
6. Manage the District in an effective, efficient and fiscally responsible manner.
District Code 1.05.030 Goals:
1. Manage for Financial Stability and Resiliency
2. Environmental Stewardship: Create a sustainable resilient environment for all our
communities.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The recommended total project authorization is for an amount not to exceed $35,890.
The FY25 budget included $122,300 for well rehabilitation, a rate-funded capital
expenditure. It should be noted that this is the second well-being rehabilitated this year
with $108,838 being allocated for Well 20 rehabilitation. It is anticipated that the cost of
the Well 20 Rehabilitation will be less than the not-to-exceed amount list above. The
two well rehabilitation projects' combined approval of$144,728 exceeds the FY25
budget by $22,428 and are under the FY25 Budget Forecast presented to the Board in
the FY2025 Mid-Year Budget Report on August 6, 2025 by $65k due to the
conservative estimate of this project in the budget forecast.
The FY25 well rehabilitation budget was based on engineering estimates established in
the 2020 10-year Water CIP and was updated during the current budget cycle.
However, based on current well assessment information, and decreasing production
from the Hirschdale Well staff has prioritized this project in advance of FY26.

AGENDA ITEM #8
Public Utility District
MEETING DATE: August 20, 2025
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: Michael Salmon, Chief Financial Officer
SUBJECT: Consideration of Approval of a 2025 Q2 Power Cost Adjustment of
$0.0099 credit per kWh Billed in September, October, and
November 2025.
APPROVED BY.
Brian C. Wright, General Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Power Cost Adjustment for 2025 Q2 of$0.0099 credit per kWh billed in
September, October, and November 2025.
BACKGROUND:
Electric Rate Ordinance 2023-01 established a Power Cost Adjustment (PCA) to be
reviewed and calculated quarterly. The PCA is calculated by comparing the budget
versus actual wholesale costs of purchased power. To the extent the cost difference is
less than budget, a credit PCA is applied to customer billings. To the extent the cost
difference is greater than budget, a PCA charge is applied to customer billings. If the
cost difference is more than 15%, the rate reserve fund will be included in the
assessment of PCA determination.
ANALYSIS AND BODY:
Staff analyzed actual wholesale purchased power costs for Quarter 2 of 2025 as it
compares to budget expectations. Further, staff factored Q1 2025 items that were
estimated or changed into this Q2 2025 PCA calculation. The detailed analysis is
provided as Attachment 1 to this report.
Results of the Q2 2025 analysis can be summarized as follows:
$84.39 cost per MWh, Budget
$75.80 cost per MWh, Actual
($8.59) cost per MWh variance (10.2%) under-budget
x 38,451.390 MWh volume purchased
_ $330,297 cost variance impacts Q2, favorable/under-budget
31,722 adjust for less billed kWh than estimated for Q1 PCA credit
_ $362,019 net credit Q2 PCA
Page 1 of 3
Page 8 of 181
The $362,019 Q2 PCA amount and a 36,547,850 kWh estimate (September October
and November 2025 billing cycles) results in a PCA customer credit of $0.0099 per
kWh PCA for Q2 2025. This PCA credit will be applied to customer accounts for the
September - November 2025 billing cycles.
For the 2025 Q2 billings, the District customers' effective average retail cost per kWh
was $0.2535. The PCA for Q2 equates to a bill credit of 3.9% ($0.0099 / $0.2535) and
$0.2436 post-credit cost per kWh. The 3.9% credit is estimated to decrease the
average residential monthly bill by $4.41 (445 kWh average) for September, October,
and November 2025.
The favorable cost per MHh of $8.59 or 10.2% variance for Q2 was driven primarily by
low market natural gas prices, as well as, favorable Stampede hydro prices (market)
and generally favorable market prices for power, as opposed to budget expectations of
more inflation cost pressures in 2025.
Included in the Q2 PCA is a credit adjustment of $31,722 for true-up for the Q1 2025
PCA, due to now known billings of kWh to apply the PCA credit was less than
estimated in the Q1 calculation. Further, as noted in attachment 1, the Q2 2025 PCA
calculation includes the minor actual versus estimated corrections of Q1 billing errors
made by NV Energy, which were estimates factored the Q1 2025 PCA calculation.
PCA History:
2024 Q1 - ($.0088) Credit
2024 Q2 - $.0012 Charge
2024 Q3 - ($.0096) Credit
2024 Q4 - ($.0337) Credit
2025 Q1 - ($.0093) Credit (and $194,329 transfer to Rate Reserve)
2025 Q2 - ($.0099) Credit (recommenation)
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES:
District Code 1.05.020 Objectives:
1. Responsibly serve the public.
6. Manage the District in an effective, efficient and fiscally responsible manner.
District Code 1.05.030 Goals:
1. Manage for Financial Stability and Resiliency
3. Engage with our customers and communities in a welcoming and transparent way to
identify opportunities.
4. Modernize the utility and add value to our communities through collaboration and
innovation.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The net effect of the PCA credit of$362,019 for Q2 is to equalize the purchase power
cost per MWh fluctuation. The extent to which MWh volume varies, purchase power
cost will continue to vary to budget.

AGENDA ITEM #9
Public Utility District
MEETING DATE: August 20, 2025
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: Mike Swanson, Director of Electric Engineering & Operations
SUBJECT: Consideration to Adopt Resolution 2025-21 Rescinding Resolution
No. 9519 and Ending the Sole Source Procurement of Eaton
Products
APPROVED BY:
Brian C. Wright, General Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2025-21 rescinding Resolution No. 9519 ending the authorization
for sole source procurement of Eaton Products.
BACKGROUND:
The Electric Department routinely purchases electric distribution reclosers and
associated controls for capital improvement and maintenance projects. Historically, the
District has standardized on Eaton (formerly Cooper Power Systems) equipment due to
staff's operational familiarity, system compatibility, and inventory efficiency.
In 1995, the Board of Directors adopted Resolution No. 9519 (Attachment 1), which
formally standardized Cooper Power Systems as the sole source for District reclosers,
authorizing staff to waive the competitive bidding process for these types of equipment.
ANALYSIS AND BODY:
While the exclusive use of Eaton products (formerly Cooper Power Systems) has
historically supported consistent operations, improved training continuity, and simplified
inventory, the electric utility industry continues to evolve rapidly with enhanced vendor
offerings, better SCADA integration capabilities, and broader interoperability across
systems.
Currently, Anixter/Wesco is the exclusive distributor of Eaton products in Northern
California. However, limiting procurement to a sole source vendor restricts the District's
ability to evaluate alternative technologies that may provide better performance,
functionality, or cost advantages.
Terminating the sole source procurement of Eaton Products and returning to a
competitive bid process will allow the District to evaluate current market offerings,
Page 1 of 2
Page 12 of 181
ensure price competitiveness, and improve transparency and accountability in
procurement.
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES:
District Code 1.05.020 Objectives:
1. Responsibly serve the public.
4. Provide reliable and high quality electric supply and distribution system to meet
current and future needs.
6. Manage the District in an effective, efficient and fiscally responsible manner.
District Code 1.05.030 Goals:
1. Manage for Financial Stability and Resiliency
4. Modernize the utility and add value to our communities through collaboration and
innovation.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with this item. Transitioning to a competitive
bid process may result in cost savings and better return on investment. All procurement
will be subject to available budget appropriations and approval procedures.

RESOLUTION NO. 9519
OF THE
TRUCKEE DONNER PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT
DIRECTING THAT COMPETITIVE BIDDING BE DISPENSED WITH IN
CONNECTION WITH THE DISTRICT'S PURCHASE OF RECLOSERS AND
RECLOSER CONTROLS
WHEREAS, the Truckee Donner Public Utility District has determined the need to acquire Cooper
Power System reclosers and microprocessor-based recloser controls; and
WHEREAS, Public Contract Code Section 20206.4 generally requires that the District seek
competitive bids in connection with the purchase of goods; and
WHEREAS, various California court decisions, including ar-adon v. Pasadena Deve onment
Agent, , 105 C.A. 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 bid would thus be undesirable or impractical, a public agency may dispense with
competitive bidding; and
WHEREAS, the District has a large investment in the Cooper Power Systems reclosers and
controls, using them exclusively; and
WHEREAS, the exclusive use of Cooper Power System reclosers and controls reduces costs in
inventory of parts; and
WHEREAS, the exclusive use of Cooper Power System reclosers and controls allows for inter-
changing within the system; and
WHEREAS, the exclusive use of Cooper Power System reclosers and controls does not require
additional training of District personnel; and
WHEREAS, the exclusive use of Cooper Power System reclosers and controls will be more
compatible with future SCADA plans; and
WHEREAS, the exclusive use of Cooper Power System reclosers and controls has the potential
of shortening outages by staff being familiar with the same equipment from station to station; 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 advertisement for competitive bids and the
delay that would therefore result, would be undesirable;
Page 14 of 181
• NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Directors of the Truckee Donner Public
Utility District as follows:
1. That the recitals set forth above are adopted as findings and for the reasons set
forth herein finds that competitive proposals for the above described electrical
apparatus would be unavailing, would not produce an advantage to the District and
the advertisement for competitive bids and the resulting delay would be

Resolution No. 2025-21
Rescinding District Resolution No. 9519 and Terminating the
Sole Source Procurement Authorization for Eaton Products
WHEREAS, the Truckee Donner Public Utility District ("District") previously adopted
Resolution No. 9519, determining that the exclusive purchase of Cooper Power Systems,
now named Eaton Products, reclosers and microprocessor-based recloser controls was in
the District's best interest and that competitive bidding for such equipment was undesirable
and impractical; and
WHEREAS, the District has since reevaluated this position and determined that seeking
competitive bids for reclosers and recloser controls may provide greater value, technological
diversity, and pricing advantages to the District; and
WHEREAS, the supply chain circumstances that justified the sole sourcing of Cooper Power
Systems equipment under Resolution No. 9519 no longer outweigh the potential benefits of
competitive procurement, including access to innovation, better pricing, and improved
functionality from a broader market; and
WHEREAS, the District desires to rescind Resolution No. 9519 terminating the sole source
procurement authorization and returning to competitively bid procurements of reclosers and
microprocessor-based recloser controls in accordance with applicable public contract
requirements;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Directors of the Truckee Donner
Public Utility District as follows:
1. Resolution No. 2025-21 rescinds Resolution 9519, terminating the sole source
procurement authorization of Cooper Power Systems (aka Eaton Products)
reclosers and microprocessor-based recloser controls with future procurements to
be executed in accordance with District Code Title 3.08.

AGENDA ITEM #10
Public Utility District
MEETING DATE: August 20, 2025
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: Ryan Pursel, Vegetation Project Manager
Mike Swanson, Director of Electric Engineering & Operations
SUBJECT: Consideration of Authorizing the General Manager to Execute a
Support Services Program Agreement with NCPA for Vegetation
Hazard Analysis Inspection
APPROVED BY.
Brian C. Wright, General Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the General Manager to execute a special services contract under NCPA's
Support Services Program Agreement for NV5 to perform a Vegetation Hazard Analysis
inspection in the amount of $147,502, plus a 10% change order allowance and $2,610
in administrative fees, for a total not-to-exceed amount of $164,862.20.
BACKGROUND:
The District operates a vegetation management program designed to ensure
compliance with California Public Utility Commission (CPUC) General Orders (GO) 95
and 165, as well as Public Resources Code (PRC) 4292 and 4293. The program also
aligns with the Districts Wildfire Mitigation Plan, which is submitted annually to the
Wildfire Safety Advisory Board, and follows the most current version of the Districts
Vegetation Management Program (VMP).
Beginning in 2020, the District increased its annual budget for vegetation management
activities due to regulatory changes in electric line clearances and property defensible
space requirements. Annually, the District enters into contracts through the public
bidding process with vegetation contractors and crane service providers for vegetation
management activities. Those activities include vegetation clearing around electrical
facilities located in the right-of-way, and all District-owned facilities as needed.
Since 2020, the District's cost of line clearance per mile has been trending downward,
equating to more efficient use of contractor resources and more effective
planning. Currently, the District is in need of an updated vegetation trim cycle plan
requiring enhanced data to help develop an efficient plan in which mitigation efforts for
identified risks are prioritized and executed efficiently. Some of the crucial data points
needed are tree health, tree fall-in and grow-in hazard risk, vegetation density, and
volumetric analysis of vegetation in proximity to District facilities. Gathering and utilizing
Page 1 of 3
Page 18 of 181
those data points would enable staff to properly plan the District's vegetation mitigation
activities efficiently, prioritizing and mitigating the higher risk areas first, while meeting
regulatory compliance.
Staff have become aware of measures implemented by both publicly owned and
investor-owned electric utilities in California to further reduce vegetation-related risk
through the application of data and technology. Many utilities have adopted LiDAR and
satellite imagery data collection, combined with computing resources and, in some
cases, Artificial Intelligence, to gather and process vegetation data. This information is
being leveraged to enhance vegetation management workflows, mitigate wildfire risk,
and improve budget accountability.
ANALYSIS AND BODY:
Staff have identified the need to obtain LiDAR and satellite imagery data to develop a
comprehensive road map for managing and mitigating risks to District assets.
Engineering firm NV5 brings extensive experience in LiDAR and imagery surveys in
California, including projects in the Lake Tahoe region and neighboring utilities. NV5
offers expertise in coordinated data capture in challenging geography, weather, terrain,
as well as flight-restricted areas. Utilities such as Liberty Utilities have successfully
used NV5's data collection and vegetation analysis for vegetation mitigation activities in
the region.
In April 2021, the Northern California Power Agency (NCPA) awarded NV5 Geospatial
a multi-year contract for aerial surveys, vegetation surveys, and LiDAR mapping under
its Support Services Program Agreement (SSPA) (Attachment 2). As an NCPA
member, the District may utilize this competitively bid contract under Section 3.08.060
of District Code. Board adopted Resolution No. 2016-25 (Attachment 3) approving the
SSPA between the District and NCPA, enabling NCPA to administer the contract with
NV5 on the District's behalf.
District Code section 3.08.060.1 states:
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Chapter, the District may purchase
materials, equipment or supplies, other than printed material, from the State of
California through its procurement program under Public Contract Code Section 10290,
10298, 12100 & 12125 and jointly with other public agencies, provided that:
3.08.060.1(A) The District approves specifications for any purchase of materials,
equipment or supplies, information technology products and services;
3.08.060.1(B) The cost of such items is fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000) or more and
the purchase is approved by the Board of Directors;
3.08.060.1(C) The State or public agency has solicited or advertised for bids in a
manner which complies with the competitive bidding requirements applicable to the
District; and
Page 2 of 3
Page 19 of 181
3.08.060.1(D) The State or public agency purchases such items at a price reasonably
expected to be lower than the District can obtain through its purchasing procedures.
Staff worked with NV5 to provide a quotation to perform Vegetation Hazard Analysis.
NV5 provided a quote in the amount of$147,502 to perform detailed Vegetation Hazard
Analysis inspection (Attachment 1). Staff have reviewed the quotation provided by NV5
and determined it is comprehensive and consistent with industry standards, fulfilling the
District's requirements and NCPA Support Services Program Agreement.
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES:
District Code 1.05.020 Objectives:
1. Responsibly serve the public.
4. Provide reliable and high quality electric supply and distribution system to meet
current and future needs.
5. Manage the District in an environmentally sound manner.
6. Manage the District in an effective, efficient and fiscally responsible manner.
District Code 1.05.030 Goals:
1. Manage for Financial Stability and Resiliency
4. Modernize the utility and add value to our communities through collaboration and
innovation.
FISCAL IMPACT:
FY24 budget included $105,000 for vegetation hazard analysis (1.6.923.736), which
was delayed to FY25 (funded via operating reserve carryover funds) as part of FY24
report to the Board in March 2025. The remainder of the project cost ($59,862) will be
funded through the vegetation management (GL 1.6.583.514) budget of$2,060,000 for
FY25.

Standards for safe use of lasers—Class 1 (eye and skin safe).
• 16 pilots average 5,329 hours, equal to 8.8 years per pilot.600 hours per year.Annual 3 to
4-day offsite training by 3rd party, and midyear Line Oriented Flight Training.
GROUND SURVEY
We are familiar with utility industry best practices for collecting and reporting on the accuracy of lidar datasets
compared to independently collected field verification data. We own and operate multiple sets of Trimble Global
Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)dual-frequency L1-L2 receivers used in both static and roving surveys.The final
project data report will contain our control network and be signed/sealed by a PLS licensed in the state where
lidar is collected.Additional details on our Ground Survey methods can be found in Appendix II.
AERIAL COLLECTION
With our fixed-wing aircraft, we will collect lidar at 40+ ppsm, flying at 600m AGL and with a 20% sidelap. If
orthoimagery is elected,we will collect 3" 4-band orthoimagery at 9" resolution on a separate flight. Our aircraft,
lidar equipment, cameras, GPS antenna,and all other devices are installed and operated according to current FAA
regulations and guidelines.
DATA PROCESSING
LIDAR CALIBRATION
The overall goal of lidar point processing is to rapidly create highly accurate data. Kinematic GPS solutions are
resolved by combining aircraft positions with static ground positions. A smoothed best estimate of trajectory
(SBET) is developed to blend aircraft positions with attitude data. Laser point positions are calculated, creating a
raw laser point cloud, where each point retains the corresponding scan angle, return number (echo), intensity,
and x, y, z information. Points are imported into corridors to filter noise and perform manual relative accuracy
calibration. Ground points are then classified for individual flight lines to be used for relative accuracy testing and
calibration. Automated line-to-line calibrations are performed to adjust for system attitude (pitch, roll, heading),
mirror flex (scale), and GPS/IMU drift. Calibrations are performed on ground-classified points from paired flight
lines; every flight line is used for relative accuracy calibration. Fundamental vertical accuracy is assessed via direct
comparisons of ground-classified lidar points to ground point survey data. Accurate feature coding of the point
cloud is essential for supporting survey projects.
III V 5 TRUCKEE DONNER PUD I DISTRIBUTION VEGETATION MANAGEMENT Page 31 of 181
DEEP LEARNING CLASSIFICATION
Once calibrated, lidar point clouds will be automatically classified using our custom point-based deep learning
model architecture. Deep learning represents a significant improvement over traditional approaches to
automated point classification. The classification results will contain common features (ground, vegetation,
buildings, etc.) and features of particular interest (poles, wires) which will be leveraged in our vector extraction
processes. Deep learning is more accurate at classifying the lidar and makes feature extraction quicker.
Default Ground Vegetation Building Noise Wire i Pole
AUTO ALIGNMENTS
Our automated alignment tool is capable of extracting pole and span locations directly from the pre-classified lidar
point cloud. Accurate pole locations are determined using each pole's center of mass and are placed at ground
level. The tool is also capable of modeling a 3D polyline representation of each pole that includes height, lean
direction, and lean angle, which are derived from the lidar point cloud. If initial GIS span and pole data are
available,the tool will simply rectify the inputs to match the lidar data.
WIRE MODELS
NV5 will model all primary wires within spans received from Truckee Donner. Powerline modeling is performed
with a proprietary modeling tool built to work with MicroStation-based software and utilizes the classified lidar
data and correct GIS data as inputs. Powerlines that are detected by the lidar will be modeled using machine
learning routines that will estimate placement. 3D vectors will be generated for each primary wire captured in the
lidar point cloud.
VEGETATION ANALYTICS
VEGETATION ENCROACHMENT&DETECTION
NV5 has designed an efficient clearance
assessment to detect trees that may grow,''
w
overhang, or fall into wires to better
understand the risk posed to electric
distribution infrastructure.The encroachment /
analysis will be run using a classified lidar
point cloud and the vectorized distribution
catenaries. The lidar point cloud is utilized to 2'-4'
analyze specific clearance distances and 4'-6'
types, dictated by the utility's requirements. cy
Clearance analysis results will be associated G 'ti W-izr
with span, circuit, and localized threat
polygons by severity and type.

Il 15 TRUCKEE DONNER PUD I DISTR!BUTION VEGETATION MANAGEMENT Page A of 181
VOLUMETRIC VEGETATION DEPORTS
Encroachment volume is quantified using a voxel-based routine where each encroaching point is assigned to a
unique voxel (a cube in a 3-dimensional grid). Once all lidar points of potential threat are gathered into voxels,
volumes are calculated for each clearance zone and reported as cubic meters of threat per zone. Measurements
can then be summed up by local area, span, and circuit. The clearance zones for radial grow-in, fall-in, and
overhanging vegetation will be the same as the encroachment zones above (<2', 2'-4', 4'-6', 6'-12'). Results are
available in GIS and tabular format and can be reported at the local, span, and circuit levels.

THREAT POLYGONS
NV5 will report encroachments using a system identifying varying levels of --
i. ip
severity using the desired clearance distances. Trees found to be either
encroaching on the vegetation management zones and/or overhanging a p
primary wire are identified as such in the resulting geodatabase. Clearance
detections are calculated for the system conditions at the time of flight,
mapped to individual points and polygons of interest, and symbolized by
shapefile with codes for grow-in or overhang detections. Encroachments will
be attributed with ranked zones, by which Truckee Donner can prioritize f
tree-trimming activities to address the areas of the highest concern.
The final data product derived from the vegetation clearance analysis is an
ArcGIS geodatabase containing polygons attributed with clearance violations
derived from the parameters shown above. The image to the right shows
identified tree threat polygons of interest (and clear spans) color-coded by
vegetation encroachment severity zones.
There are various methods to characterize threats to your system. We are
recommending a threat polygon solution, which evaluates clearance
detections at the time of flight to enable zone-ranking to make prioritization
decisions. Using this method does not require generating a full tree inventory—thus ensuring rapid delivery of the
results required to manage your system within the critical timeline you need, while also adhering to budget
requirements. If Truckee Donner has an interest in additional data analysis fora full vegetation inventory,the data
we acquire for this project supports such a deliverable and we are happy to provide more detail if requested.

VEGETATION SEGMENTATION
Utilizing the lidar collected, NV5 can classify data into tree and non-tree, using a minimum height threshold of 10'.
We will next perform a geometric segmentation methodology (we can also provide deep learning segmentation)
to identify tree crown approximates.Although for trees spaced apart,this corresponds to an individual tree crown,
within dense forests it will generally capture the dominant and co-dominant tree crowns but less the intermediate
and understory crowns, so some segments can represent multiple trees. Accurate feature coding (classification)
of the point cloud is essential for an accurate vegetation segmentation analysis. Our analytic teams employ in-
house, automated methods for lidar extraction of vegetation features. Datasets of individual tree delineations are
created using point cloud geometry, spatial distribution patterns, and neighborhood analysis. Analysis is
performed on the entire project area to ensure periphery vegetation is fully processed. All trees are identified as
a distinct object. Each Danger Tree will be attributed and assigned a unique tree ID called a geotag. Geotags allow
for year-to-year comparisons, growth measurements, and change detection analysis.

FIXED-WING ORTHOIMAGERY
The process of ortho rectification of aerial digital imagery combines
three elements (ground control, DTM, and digital imagery) to
generate a softcopy image that is "draped" over the digital elevation
model of the terrain surface. The orthorectification process yields an
image with pixels that contain an X, Y coordinate value in the ma
units assigned during aerial triangulation) for the centroid of the + '
upper left image pixel, from which the coordinate value for any pixel
in the image may be calculated. The process essentially removes
distortions in the source imagery caused by lenses and terrain change.
r
The kinematic GPS positional data is post-processed in-office using
static monument coordinates from base stations running during
acquisition. Photo position and orientation are calculated by linking
the time of image capture, the corresponding aircraft position and
attitude, and the smoothed best estimate of trajectory (SBET) data in
POSPac MMS and outputting an initial Exterior Orientations (EO) file.
The generated EO file records are QC'd against the image number and
frame position in the UltraMap environment to ensure frame IDs are
assigned the appropriate exterior orientations.

Page 38 of 181
Within the Ultra Map software suite, raw acquired images are radiometrically and geometrically corrected using
the camera's calibration files and output as TIFF images. The imagery is checked to ensure that ground-level
features are not obscured by clouds or fog and that each frame is void of capture or write errors such as vignetting
or missing frame sections or channels. The resulting radiometry is then manually edited to ensure each image has
the appropriate tone, no pixels are clipped, and to blend each image with its neighbors.
Next,the EO file is combined with the imagery within the Inpho software suite to place the image frames spatially.
Aerial triangulation is performed to tie the image frames to each other and align them with surveyed ground
control coordinates.Triangulated image frames are then draped onto a digital elevation model and orthorectified.
Individual orthorectified images are blended to remove seams and correct any remaining radiometric differences
between images using Inpho's OrthoVista.The mosaic imagery is next manually inspected for coverage,frame-to-
frame alignment, spatial accuracy, and distortions at a scale appropriate for the pixel resolution and scene
composition. The image mosaic is then tiled to create a usable GeoTIFF raster product.
Vegetation Health Analysis Using 4-band Imagery
NV5's vegetation health analysis provides detailed spatial ,
information concerning the location of unhealthy vegetation
at a 3-inch resolution. Orthophotos can be displayed in both
the RGB (true color) and CIR (Color Infrared) to analyze the
status of each tree. Health assessments are conducted on
vegetation in the ROW that was determined to be a potential
risk for falling into conductors (where the vertical distance of
the tree top point is at risk of striking the conductor). This y
method is conservative by design to reduce the risk of
omission.
SATELLITE VEGETATION HEALTH ASSESSMENT
NV5 utilizes 4-band satellite imagery to
monitor changing health conditions of
vegetation by comparing current vegetation •• ; a ,.'.•rig
health to a multi-year history, identifying _ •''
underlying health trends. The infrared • •.,•" • ' .4io

By leveraging historical imagery and -

vegetation health and determine whether the condition is improving, declining, or

FURTHER ANALYTICS
Should Truckee Donner be interested in asset inspection with orthoimagery and image recognition, we have
detailed our mobile collection and IR solution below. We recommend collecting lidar and imagery of your
distribution network every year aerially and acquiring mobile data every three years for the following analyses.
Pricing can be provided upon request.
NV5 TRUCKEE DONNER PUD I DISTRIBUTION VEGETATION MANAGEMENT Page 3Fof 181
MOBILE LIDAR&SPHERICAL IMAGERY COLLECTION WITH A VEHICLE
Mobile mapping provides the ultimate accuracy and resolution for transportation projects. These data are
typically collected from an SUV, although we can also mount the sensor on a boat or ATV. Our mobile mapping
solution,the Riegl VMX-2HA with Ladybug 6 spherical camera,achieves point densities of more than 1,000 points
per square meter at posted speeds with vertical accuracies to a few hundredths of a foot. This technology also
has the significant advantage of seeing under bridges and underpasses, with the limiting factor of having access
for acquisition.We have integrated today's top-of-the-line mobile mapping sensor with a high-resolution spherical
camera. Two 5-megapixel metric cameras can be added to create the ultimate combination for transportation
mapping.Advantages of this system include:
• Accuracy-1-10cm RMSE Horizontal and Vertical; Precision:3mm One Sigma
• Extreme resolution of 1,000 to 4,000 points per square meter(ppsm)
• Collection at posted speeds
• Can see "under" bridges
• Co-registered Spherical Camera System
LIDAR CALIBRATION
The raw positioning data from the mobile mapping system is merged with reference data and interpolated to form
one trajectory of the drive, which gives 3D coordinates with a frequency of 200 times per second. We optimize
accuracy and get the best out of positioning data, by interpolating in both forward and backward driving
directions, and by carefully choosing the reference data stations for every drive (reference data is needed to
reduce some common errors that are always present in GNSS data). Nevertheless, especially in areas with poor
GNSS reception, the accuracy can be below our high standards, which will be detected during the quality check
we do for every drive.Therefore, we cut out those parts of the trajectory and fix these areas separately in Step 3.
Next, lidar data is used to further increase the accuracy of the trajectory. Here, we make use of the fact that
objects in the real world are being scanned by the lidar multiple times while driving, so their locations can be
compared. Safely assuming that certain objects like buildings do not move in a short period, we can adjust the
positions of the recording locations so that the objects correctly overlap from one scan to the next, thereby
creating one seamless point cloud. This process is known as Relative Positioning Improvement (RPI). To decide
which recording will be 'pulled'towards the other,we use the standard deviation to make sure the most accurate
recording location will keep its high accuracy. This way not only is the relative accuracy improved in the RPI
process, but also the absolute accuracy is slightly improved.
In areas with poor GNSS reception (the parts of the trajectory that we cut out in Step 1);we make use of additional
measurements to improve the absolute positioning accuracy.The traditional way to do this is by adding Ground
Control Points (GCPs). These are locations in the real world that are measured with high accuracy using
conventional land surveying techniques.The data can then be'pulled'toward those points, of which we know the
coordinates very precisely. However, this is a costly and non-scalable solution for large mobile mapping projects.
Therefore, we make use of the same concept but offer an alternative to costly GCPs by using aerial lidar. In short,
we use points from aerial lidar point clouds and match them with the mobile mapping lidar point clouds.Aircraft
or drones collecting aerial lidar normally have good GNSS reception since the signal is not obstructed by buildings
or trees. Therefore, it is a very suitable and scalable technology to increase positioning accuracy in urban areas.
This processing step is optional for customers and is known as City Positioner. With City Positioner, it is possible
to achieve a maximum standard deviation (for example, 10 cm) instead of an average standard deviation per
dataset.
U115 TRUCKEE DONNER PUD I DISTRIBUTION VEGETATION MANAGEMENT Page Rof 181
Vehicle-Based Image Processing
Raw acquired images are geometrically corrected, stitched together into seamless panoramic image frames
(equirectangular imagery, AKA equirects), and then reviewed to ensure acceptable exposure and tonal values.
Imagery is then output as 3-band JPEG files. Meanwhile, the GPS positional data is used to georeference the
equirect image.
For underground pad mount equipment areas, equirect imagery will be passed on for image recognition of pad
mount equipment. Once all the pad mount equipment is identified, we will create the final georeferenced frame
imagery(AKA: cutouts)from the equirects, which can be delivered to Truckee Donner.
For overhead asset locations, the equirect georeferenced images are then each mapped to a sphere, and a virtual
tour is generated to allow for immersive and seamless navigation from sphere to sphere within the acquired data
extent. From here, the nearest frame imagery will be extracted at each pole (pole locations will be determined
from the lidar data) at multiple look angles.
CLEARANCE VIOLATIONS
Once the preliminary processing of the lidar data into .las files is completed,
a series of advanced automated and manual routines classify wire, poles,
and the various attachments.Once feature-coded,clearance measurements
from the lidar point cloud will be extracted at Truckee Donner's
specifications. At each pole, NV5 will provide the number of wires, their
attachment heights, and spacing between each, as well as clearances from
the ground for all primaries and secondaries.
IMAGE RECOGNITION
Our image recognition platform is used to train,iteratively update,and apply
deep learning models to imagery. Our platform can train object detection
and instance segmentation models using a variety of architectures and is
used to quality control model results (to support iterative training), and
review outputs aggregated to unique structures.Our platform is horizontally
scalable and typically processes hundreds of thousands of images per
month. With collected and calibrated lidar and imagery, NV5 can produce
the image recognition deliverables. Image recognition models are applied to
imagery to identify asset locations. Using the calibrated lidar data, deep
learning,and automated alignment techniques are employed to locate poles \ _ T
aa
and measure their heights.This output is then integrated into a wire model to determine wire categories. Finally,
with the combined data of pole and asset locations along with wire category, a tool is developed to create a
comprehensive geodatabase.
Asset Identification &Comparison
NV5's image recognition platform is utilized to automatically perform an asset inventory for electric distribution
poles, and georectify pad-mount devices, and is the main interface for manual review. Results from the object
detection models are aggregated for each structure, using logic that considers the multiple unique vantage points.
The results of this automated asset inventory are provided to our clients in an agreed-upon data structure.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
DEDICATED TRUCKEE DONNER TEAM
NV5 assigns dedicated teams of remote sensing professionals to each client, allowing our staff to become
intimately familiar with the standards and specifications unique to each of our clients.This also allows our clients
to interact and brainstorm directly with our innovators on developing solution options that specifically suit their
needs.
Our designated Project Manager(PM)will adhere to the defined project phases and specified team meetings and
communication requirements. A work breakdown structure (WBS) is developed by our PMs, which sets the
framework for planning, executing, and monitoring the various tasks throughout our control system. A project
workflow is also created, analyzed, and finalized.The WBS and workflow tools are used to clarify the scope before
beginning work.
At the project kick-off meeting, specified topics will be discussed and project details finalized. In addition, initial
project and communication plans, project workflow, and WBS plans will also be reviewed, issues will be resolved,
and a final version and related materials will be created by the NV5 PM.
DATA QUALITY
The NV5 Quality Assurance/Quality Control plan will establish the methods for ensuring a high-
quality product that conforms to the client's specifications. The QA/QC plan will capture the
associated workflows, tools, techniques, and methods for reviewing and identifying defects in all
deliverables, as well as tracking those defects through to resolution. Our team will establish and
e +
communicate a standard methodology for reporting and tracking issues that all stakeholders will
use in the quality review process.
As part of quality control and communication,we provide clients with weekly progress and quality control reports.
Meeting minutes are documented, and action items and tasks are captured to ensure data and project quality.
Additional details on quality control measures are provided in Appendix IV — Quality Assurance & Control for
further review.
RISK MANAGEMENT
Our risk management process comprises three components: risk assessment, contingency
planning, and risk control. The risk management process will allow the Project Manager to
identify and assess potential problems and their impact throughout the project's life cycle,
as well as the opportunity to plan proactively for various contingencies, rather than being
forced to react to unexpected situations.
After potential impacts are identified, the PM will consult with senior management to develop contingency plans
and determine a course of action to respond to each identified risk. While unexpected events may still occur,
planning for known possibilities will reduce expensive overruns and help ensure project success. Concerning
unanticipated staffing issues,we have a high employee retention rate and ample expert resource capacity to draw
from to keep our clients' projects on schedule and produce high-quality, accurate deliverables. A risk/mitigation
matrix is provided in Appendix V—Risk Management for further review.

Systemwide Asset Correction & Modeling
NV5 acquired over 8,200 distribution miles and over 1,600 transmission .
miles of data (lidar, hyperspectral imagery, and orthoimagery), capturing
PGE's entire service territory. The distribution lidar data was acquired ` .
using a fixed-wing aircraft at 25+ ppsm. The data were then processed, •
analyzed, and hosted through our web-based platform, ENVI Discover. Deliverables included rectified pole and
span locations, conductor modeling, vegetation management analytics, and PLS-CADD models supporting PGE's
engineering, wildfire, and vegetation management initiatives. PGE's Distribution and Transmission GIS tower
inventory were spatially rectified to match the lidar survey data. The rectified locations match those used in the
PLS-CADD transmission and distribution catenary modeling processes. All structures, including multi-pole
structures, were represented by a single vertex.
After rectifying the alignments to the lidar-derived structure locations, we matched the structures to the client's
records (and assigned them the client-provided Global ID) by following how each alignment had shifted in the
lidar-derived data relative to the initial position in the client's data.This dataset is made available via ENV[ Discover
and in a file geodatabase format.
Additionally, in 2024 we acquired new remote sensing data of newly designated high-fire areas and adjacent.This
fresh set of asset and vegetation data helps inform risk-based analysis that supports wildfire and storm mitigation
decisions for PGE. This new data also helps support future PGE engineering projects, vegetation management
projects, and GIS data quality projects by providing high-accuracy asset locations, vegetation clearance analyses,
and high-resolution models of infrastructure. We utilized spherical imagery to train an image recognition model
to find common distribution assets. Structures were cropped from the spherical imagery using lidar-rectified GIS
locations.These cropped images were run through the image recognition model to identify structure material and
assets of interest (e.g., fuses, transformers). Spherical imagery provided multiple view angles of each structure;
the image recognition results from the multiple view angles were aggregated to the structure to produce an
automated asset count and structure material. The automated results were then reviewed by technicians using
an inspection interface, allowing edits of the results. This process also flagged any differences from client GIS as
requiring additional review. The review results were then used to attribute the final GIS with asset counts and
properties for GIS and ENVI Discover review.

ULTRACAM
NV5 acquires aerial photography using an UltraCam (Eagle, XP, or equivalent) large
format mapping camera with project-specific along-track overlap and sidelap settings
(60%forward overlap and >_30%sidelap).The UltraCam is a frame-based digital sensor ULTRACAM
capable of simultaneous capture of red, green, blue, and NIR bands. Cameras are
integrated with a GPS receiver and Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) that stream
aircraft position and attitude data(pitch,roll,and yaw)for direct computation of image
YEXCEL
external orientation (EO). The sensor is flown with flight parameters designed to
capture imagery at the requested GSD. Overall flight tolerances are set to industry
standards to support engineering accuracies and orthophotography specifications,
utilizing the most nadir portion of each image to minimize lean effects inherent with
photography. All centers of the first and last digital photos of all flightlines shall fall
outside of the project boundary or designated flight line. Photos will be collected
during peak sun angles for the day, under clear conditions with minimal cloud cover.

APPENDIX II - GROUND SURVEY
NV5 is familiar with utility industry best practices for collecting and reporting on the
accuracy of lidar datasets compared to independently collected field verification data.
NV5 owns and operates multiple sets of Trimble Global Navigation Satellite System
(GNSS) dual-frequency L1-L2 receivers used in both static and roving surveys. The final
project data report will contain our control network and be signed/sealed by a PLS
licensed in the state where lidar is collected.
STATIC CONTROL i
Our team collects static positional data across the project area to support airborne
missions. We have developed a set of criteria that enable us to improve our overall data
quality (ground-based and airborne) and rely on our experienced field team with
manager and Professional Land Surveyor (PLS) oversight to make safe, intelligent r
decisions regarding an efficient ground control network. Depending on logistics,
including the configuration of sites, access, schedule, and weather, we will use one or
more appropriate methods for geospatial correction of aircraft data. These include
conventional base supported (BS) survey control, Precise Point Positioning (PPP), Post- X dX
`1
Processed Real-Time Extended (PP-RTX). These processes include using the Continuous r '
Operation Reference System (CORS) and project monuments. h.�
GROUND SURVEY POINTS
Ground Control Points (GCPs)are collected on bare earth locations such as paved,gravel, X
or stable dirt roads, and other locations where the ground is visible (and likely to remain
visible) from the sky during data acquisition. To facilitate comparisons with lidar X
datasets, measurements are not taken on highly reflective surfaces, such as railroad X X '
crossings or stop bar markings on roads; alternatively, these features are preferable for
imagery GCPs and are captured for this purpose. .
We will utilize Real-Time Network (RTN) when cell phone coverage is available and ,
precisions allow,to access real-time corrections from CORS;we have numerous accounts
with both public and private providers. A Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) survey allows for
precise measurements near established monuments via radio broadcast for a real-time _
correction to a roving unit. For areas where base radio does not reach, Post- Processed
Kinematic (PPK) is used. Fast Static (FS) is a post-processing technique when baselines
are too far for PPK and is commonly used for remote aerial targets.

APPENDIX III - SAFETY
Safety is at the forefront of every decision we make, and we are all in this together. As part of our Integrated
Health, Safety & Environmental Management System, NV5 has put several safety management and monitoring
systems in place. These systems ensure not only a safe work environment for our team but also for client
personnel and the public that we may engage during the performance of our work.
SAFETY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS &TARGETS wy�
Safety performance indicators (SPIs) & safety performance targets (SPTs) are
continuously tracked to ensure the company is maintaining the highest level of safety
standards. Examples of SPIs are aircraft bird strikes, aircraft foreign object debris (FOD) mm---
damage, aircraft hangar rash, as well as pilot staffing and pilot training requirements. In
the event one of the indicators breaches outside of its target, a full safety assessment is
conducted, and safety controls are applied to correct the deficiency.
SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
We implement and maintain a safety management system (SMS).The SMS is a proactive,
systematic approach to managing safety, including the necessary organizational NIY1
structures, accountabilities, policies, and procedures.The use of an SMS can be generally
interpreted as applying a quality management approach to control safety risks. Similar to SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
other management functions, safety management requires planning, organizing,
communicating, and providing direction. Effective safety management systems use risk
and quality management methods to achieve safety goals. In addition,SMS also provides ,
the organizational framework to establish and foster the development of a positive
corporate safety culture.
GENERAL OPERATIONS MANUAL
Our General Operations Manual (GOM) has been prepared in accordance with the
International Standards for Business Aircraft Operations (IS-BAO), Federal Aviation
Regulations Parts 43, 61, 91, Letters of Authorization, and our own best practices. The
policies and procedures contained therein supplement the regulations and are
considered essential to good operational practices and safety. The GOM is intended to Safe Work Plan
provide operating procedures commensurate with the highest degree of safety and is
used for guidance of Management, Flight, and Maintenance personnel in the conduct of
operating NV5 aircraft in compliance with the referenced IS-BAO standards, FARs, and
good judgment.
LASER SAFETY MANUAL NV5
Our Laser Safety Manual provides recommendations, standards, and SOPs to our LASER
personnel for the safe installation and use of our aerial, mobile, and terrestrial laser SAFETY
MANUAL
systems. We comply with the following regulatory requirements: ANSI Z136, FAA AC20-
183, FDA Certification, 3.4 FAA 7140-1 Notice of Proposed Outdoor Laser Operation(s). ci—_D

APPENDIX IV - QUALITY ASSURANCE & CONTROL
NV5's quality control system uses a process-based approach toe nsure deliverables meet or exceed our customer's
requirements. In a process-based approach to quality, specific processes necessary to perform the project are
defined. The inputs and resources necessary to perform the process are identified, along with the expected
outputs. Quality checks are performed on each output to ensure sufficient quality to support the project
requirements. Metrics derived from quality checks provide feedback reflecting how well each process is
functioning and identify any required process adjustments.
MISSION PLANNING QUALITY
Completed Mission Plans are reviewed to ensure aerial imagery supporting the intended products can be acquired
within the project schedule. Flight plans are plotted against digital elevation models to verify required ground
sample distance and side lap will be achieved. Acquisition scenarios are run to model expected acquisition
progress with planned acquisition resources and compared to acquisition seasons. Once acquisition begins, actual
progress is tracked against planned progress, and resource allocations may be adjusted to account for variances.
GROUND CONTROL QUALITY
Survey log sheets are verified for completeness, including instrument setup details, photos,and location sketches.
Processing outputs are reviewed for systematic errors, and data is re-processed if necessary, using corrected
parameters. Data are archived at the production facility for both on-site and off-site storage.
AcQuISITION QUALITY
Sensor function is tested before each acquisition mission is launched. Once the acquisition is completed for the
day, aircrews remove the solid-state storage units from the sensor and download the data collected. The data is
then downloaded,and backups of each download are stored in the field,while the original downloads are shipped
to our production facility. Digital flight logs are generated to document acquisition conditions, sensor parameters
and settings, lines collected, and start/stop times.The acquisition crew performs an initial QC to identify areas of
cloud/cloud shadow that require re-flight. Data acceptance reports are also generated. Our QA/QC methods for
flight operations are founded on strict adherence to our ISO-compliant procedures and the strategic design of QC
tasks along the workflow path.Any issues that are identified in the field will be re-flown on the next flight, usually
before data is received at the home office and documented in the Master Flight log.
CONTROL PROCESSING QUALITY
NV5 has manual and automated processes to ensure the most effective GNSS solutions are used for processing.
We ensure compliance by reviewing extract logs that describe scan rate, pulse rate, AGL, laser power,and ground
speed, in addition to QC'ing our SBET trajectories for accuracy. Flight logs are verified for completeness, including
atmospheric conditions, sensor settings, and image acquisition start/stop times. LO images are reviewed in detail
to verify proper sensor function, navigation system function, and conformance to environmental condition
requirements. Our Data Checker is used to assist in acceptance and tracking. Data acceptance reports are used to
communicate any needed re-flights to the aircrews. Data are archived at the production facility for both on-site
and off-site storage.
NIV15 TRUCKEE DONNER PUD I DISTRIBUTION VEGETATION MANAGEMENT Page 46%f 181
LIDAR QUALITY
Our Iidar data is QC'd to ensure correct point and pulse densities, that overlap of flight paths matches collected
data,and that correct intensity range minimums and maximums match expectations.Additionally,we ensure that
the provided survey areas have full coverage, collected data aligns with project parameters, and sensor installation
parameters are valid and match our accuracy specifications. Flight-line offsets are minimized by using terrain
features, validating ground survey data integrity, comparing legacy data with new data, verifying that relative
accuracy and absolute accuracy meet spec, in addition to assessing raster quality.
DELIVERY QUALITY
All final data product files are reviewed for completeness and adherence to all agreed-upon specifications. if errors
are observed,they are corrected, and quality checked again. Using Python QC scripts, image tags, georeferenced
information, and metadata content are validated. Prepared hard drives are cataloged to provide a record of what
was delivered. Final archives of the delivered products are generated at the production facility for on-site and off-
site storage.
APPENDIX V - RISK MANAGEMENT
NV5's project plans consider lessons learned from past project experience and have resulted in the following
proactive measures being applied to mitigate any risks that could potentially impact the quality and/or success of
the project.

AGENDA ITEM #11
Public Utility District
MEETING DATE: August 20, 2025
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: Melanie Rives, Finance & Accounting Manager
Michael Salmon, Chief Financial Officer
SUBJECT: Consideration of a software subscription agreement with Insight
Software
APPROVED BY:
Brian C. Wright, General Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the General Manager to enter into a 5-year subscription plan with Insight
Software, with a cost not to exceed $8,200 for FY2025-2026 contract and $42,500 for
the total 5-year contract commitment.
BACKGROUND:
The District utilizes Spreadsheet Server as the core software for financial reporting,
which includes monthly, year-end and ad-hoc financial reports. The District has
customized financial reports using this software environment for the past five years
utilizing in-house expertise with the product, as well as the software's compatibility and
seamless integration with the NISC ERP from within Excel. In the past, licensing was
on an annual maintenance and commitment renewal cycle.
ANALYSIS AND BODY:
Insight Software is moving to subscription-based licensing, which is consistent with the
software industry, with the option of a three-or five-year plan which will result in long-
term savings and pricing predictability. The 2024-2025 contract year annual cost was
$6,049. While still offering an annual licensing option, the 2025-2026 annual license
would see an increase of 15% and future annual increases of 25%+. Per the attached
graphic, Insight Software has advised of the cost savings of subscription contract
pricing versus annual renewal, which equates to an estimated cost savings of $14,595
over the next five years.
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES:
District Code 1.05.020 Objectives:
6. Manage the District in an effective, efficient and fiscally responsible manner.
District Code 1.05.030 Goals:
1. Manage for Financial Stability and Resiliency
Page 1 of 2
Page 81 of 181
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Board approved FY25 Budget (1/2.9.920.00.483) included funding for the annual
licensing. With the approval of this agreement, the Spreadsheet Server software will
qualify for SBITA (GASB 96 Subscption Based IT) accounting treatment, which
essentially capitalizes the total commitment value and amortizes the cost over the term
of the contract. There is an estimated $14,595 cash cost savings over the next five
years. While the annual amount is within the General Manager's authority level, the
total contract commitment amount dictates Board of Director approval.

AGENDA ITEM #12
Public Utility District
MEETING DATE: August 20, 2025
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: Roe Vernon, SCADA Engineer
Scott Crow, IT Director/CIO - Assistant General Manager
SUBJECT: Consideration of a professional services contract with AVEVA
California for Electric SCADA discovery
APPROVED BY:
Wiz_ �/
Brian C. Wright, General Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the General Manager to execute a professional services contract with AVEVA
California using a joint purchasing agreement to define a scope of work for a new
electrical SCADA system for an amount not to exceed $27,410.00.
BACKGROUND:
The District's electric distribution system currently relies on an aging Supervisory
Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system commissioned in 1999. Presently, the
SCADA system only supports data acquisition for distribution substations and select
line protection equipment.
The District currently utilizes the Survalent electric SCADA software and General
Instrument's Scout processors for electric system monitoring and control. This system
solution has been identified to be deficient in several key areas of importance by staff.
District staff has identified that there is a need to replace the Survalent system with a
new SCADA solution.
ANALYSIS AND BODY:
In recent years, recurring hardware failures, particularly with RTUs and power supplies,
have become more frequent. Procuring replacement components with compatible
functionality and form factor has become extremely difficult. In some instances, staff
have had to improvise temporary solutions to maintain SCADA operability.
Given the outdated hardware, frequent failures, insufficient distribution system visibility,
and the lack of supervisory control, a full SCADA overhaul is now necessary.
Earlier this year, staff from the IT and Electric departments convened to discuss
replacing the electric SCADA system. They determined that internal resources are
currently limited and lack both the bandwidth and expertise in modern SCADA
Page 1 of 2
Page 84 of 181
technologies and utility-specific use cases needed to develop a comprehensive
roadmap.
To address this, staff held discussions with representatives from AVEVA to explore
strategic planning support. Notably, the District already uses the AVEVA System
Platform for its water SCADA operations, which is a proven solution that offers
reliability, flexibility, and cost efficiency. AVEVA has a long history and track record of
providing SCADA software solutions to a wide range of industries, with AVEVA System
Platform being an enterprise-level SCADA platform widely used by both electric and
water utilities. AVEVA System Platform offers a powerful and flexible platform that can
be tailored to the specific needs of both electric and water utilities. Leveraging AVEVA's
expertise for the electric SCADA replacement could streamline operations, reduce the
need for additional vendor support, and deliver long-term cost savings.
Ultimately, District staff acknowledged the complexity of the upgrade and intend to
engage SCADA experts to ensure the replacement and implementation of the electric
SCADA system and its associated hardware are executed strategically and effectively.
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES:
District Code 1.05.020 Objectives:
1. Responsibly serve the public.
6. Manage the District in an effective, efficient and fiscally responsible manner.
District Code 1.05.030 Goals:
1. Manage for Financial Stability and Resiliency
4. Modernize the utility and add value to our communities through collaboration and
innovation.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This cost will be charged to IT Electric Support (GL account 1.9.588.00.483) which has
an annual budget of$113,300. The budget is sufficient to fund the project.

AGENDA ITEM #13
Public Utility District
MEETING DATE: August 20, 2025
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: Brian Yohn, General Services Manager
Michael Salmon, Chief Financial Officer
SUBJECT: Consideration of the procurement of new snow removal equipment
for the District
APPROVED BY:
Brian C. Wright, General Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the General Manager to execute a procurement contract with Alpine Smith,
Inc. for the purchase of a new Multihog MXC130 with Pronovost PGS - 800 snowblower
attachment in the amount of $197,135, plus a 10% contingency, for a total
authorization not to exceed $216,849, plus taxes and fees.
BACKGROUND:
Code Section 3.08.060 — Joint Purchasing with the State of California and Other Public
Agencies
The District performs snow removal activities to maintain access to critical utility
infrastructure throughout the winter months. District facilities that require snow removal
are District headquarters, the District Corp yard, four (4) electric substations, and thirty-
five (35) water department sites. The Water Operations Department performs the bulk
of the snow removal, utilizing two (2) loaders and two (2) backhoe loaders, starting at
District Headquarters and branching out to all the water facilities. The Electric
Operations Department performs snow removal at the electric substation locations and
the District Corp yard utilizing the Multihog MX120 MPV currently dedicated to the
Electric Operations Department.
The District's current rolling equipment dedicated to snow removal includes the
following machines:
Water - 2015 Caterpillar 926M with 12' blade
Water - 2018 Caterpillar 918M with 2018 Snoquip LM98SC snowblower
Water - 2015 John Deere 410L Backhoe Loader
Water - 2023 John Deere 410P Backhoe Loader
Electric - 2019 Multihog MX120 MPV with Pronovost PGS — 800 snowblower
Page 1 of 3
Page 86 of 181
To address the increasing need for efficient and timely snow removal, District Fleet
support staff are recommending the addition of a new Multihog MXC130 MPV
(multipurpose vehicle) with snowblower attachment to the snow removal equipment
fleet to supplement the District's snow removal program. The additional Multihog
MXC130 MPV would be a shared District asset to support all departments of the District
and would provide Fleet and Facilities support staff with the proper equipment to
prioritize cleanup of the headquarters yard (corners, adjacent to facility buildings and
structures, and adjacent to material inventory and fleet vehicles) after loader/plow blade
removal efforts performed by the Water Department. The addition of this equipment
would also provide redundancy for the continuity of snow removal operations in the
instance any of the snow removal equipment is taken out of service due to repair
needs.
ANALYSIS AND BODY:
Staff have performed research on snow equipment options and determined that adding
a second Multihog MPV would provide the best utility and most benefit to the District's
snow removal program. Benefits to the District include uniformity of fleet equipment,
continuity of vendors for parts and attachments, as well as interchangeability of the
snowblower attachments between MPV Tractor units.
With an interest in redundancy and continuity of operations, staff recommend procuring
a new MPV Tractor/Blower combination as an additional functional piece of snow
removal equipment if the currently owned MPV tractor unit, blower unit, or any other
snow removal equipment is out of service for repairs.
The additional Multihog MPV supports efficient and timely snow removal by providing
Fleet and Facilities support staff with the proper equipment to clean up the
headquarters yard. It also provides a backup for the Electric Departments substation
clearing and supports Water Department snow removal efforts for clean up and snow
clearing in smaller spaces around water facility buildings and tanks.
The West Coast dealer for the Multihog MPV tractors and attachments is Alpine Smith,
Inc., located in South Lake Tahoe, CA. Alpine Smith, Inc. has provided Sourcewell
pricing for the District under Sourcewell Contract number 030619-MUL.
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES:
District Code 1.05.020 Objectives:
1. Responsibly serve the public.
2. Provide a healthy and safe work environment for all District employees.
3. Provide reliable and high quality water supply and distribution system to meet
current and future needs.
4. Provide reliable and high quality electric supply and distribution system to meet
current and future needs.
6. Manage the District in an effective, efficient and fiscally responsible manner.
District Code 1.05.030 Goals:
1. Manage for Financial Stability and Resiliency
Page 2 of 3
Page 87 of 181
4. Modernize the utility and add value to our communities through collaboration and
innovation.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impact of the procurement of a new Multihog MXC130 MPV with Pronovost
PGS-800 Snowblower attachment is $197,135, plus a 10% contingency,for a total
authorization not to exceed $216,849, plus taxes and fees.
The FY24/25 approved budget (Electric Vehicle Reserve - capital expenditures)
included $238,700 for a new/additional Multihog MPV with snowblower attachment in
FY25. As facilities are owned by the electric utility, this facilities' expenditure is an
electric utility budgeted item.

TO: Board of Directors
FROM: Steven Poncelet, Public Information Officer
SUBJECT: Consideration of Resolution No. 2025-20 Declaring the District's
Endorsement of Truckee Library Bond Measure G
APPROVED BY.
Brian C. Wright, General Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2025-20 the District's formal endorsement of the Truckee Library
Bond Measure G
BACKGROUND:
The New Truckee Regional Library is a local initiative to replace the current aging and
undersized library with a new 20,000-sq. ft. modern library to serve as the community
hub for connection, creativity, and collaboration. The current library has been in place
for more than 50 years, serving a community that has outgrown it in size, capacity and
resources. The current facility was built when Truckee's population was approximately
2,000, and has now grown to a service territory of more than 20,000. The efforts in
developing and funding the project have been a partnership between the Friends of the
Truckee Library (FOL), the Town of Truckee (Town), and Nevada County
(County). FOL describes the new library as "more than a space to borrow books, but a
hub to offer story time, literacy programs, book clubs, Wi-Fi, access to technology, a
meeting space, a co-working space, resources for research, and so much more." The
vision for the new regional library is to serve as a hub for connection, creativity, and
collaboration.
The proposed new regional library would be located within the Truckee Regional Park
campus. In addition to traditional library resources, the new regional library will all
serve as a central community emergency resource center, support activities to benefit
children and seniors, offer enhanced technology and improved access for people with
disabilities.
Led by the grassroots effort by FOL, the Truckee Regional Library project has made
significant progress in achieving the overarching vision. Some of the milestone
achievements of the project are identified below:

• The architectural team has completed the library's schematic design and is now
in the process with the Town to secure a development permit. This work has
been jointly funded by the Friends of the Truckee Library, the Town and County.
• The project is now focused on securing the remaining construction funding and
finalizing the project design. The total cost of the project is estimated to be
between $30 million and $38 million. Funding will come from three primary
sources:
o Private philanthropy - FOL is working with private donors to raise $10
million. Since March 2025, the group has raised $3 million from
anonymous contributors.
o Bond Measure: Bond Measure G is anticipated to generate between $16
million and $19 million and will appear on the special elections ballot in
November 2025.
o Foundations and Grants
• The Truckee Library Joint Powers Authority, who will construct, own and
maintain the library, has officially formed a Community Facilities District as the
taxing vehicle to place the bond measure on the ballot. Administrative and
elections costs are jointly funded by the Town and the County. The bond
measures will appear as Measure G on the November 4, 2025, Special Elections
Ballot.
• "Yes on Measure G for a New Truckee Library" has been formed as a separate
501 c4 to promote the bond measure.
• The proposed tax measure will cost property owners a maximum of $0.03 per
square foot of taxable building area (per year). There is a vacant parcel charge
of $29 per year. Bonds will have a maximum term of 30 years. The bond
measure requires two-thirds vote to pass.
ANALYSIS AND BODY:
From its inception, the District has been an active partner in the New Truckee Regional
Library Project. In 2023 the District partnered with FOL, Truckee-Donner Rec and Park
District (TDRPD), Truckee Sanitary District (TSD), and the Town to execute a series of
lot-line adjustments to re-align several underlying parcels within the Truckee Regional
Park campus owned by multiple public agencies, including the District. The goal was to
develop resultant parcels to accommodate the development of the new library as well
as clean up legacy parcel alignments that proved problematic for future development
and property management. Portions of the Truckee Regional Park campus are owned
by the District and TSD, and leased to TDRPD.
One of the resultant parcels within the Truckee Regional Park campus owned by the
District has been identified by the Truckee Library Joint Powers Authority (Library JPA)
as the most desirable location for the project. In 2024-25, the District, TDRPD and the
Library JPA executed an agreement whereby the Library JPA has reserved a 5-year
lease-option to secure a land lease between the District and the Library JPA for a
portion of a parcel currently leased to TDRPD. One of the conditions of the 5-year
lease option is for the Library JPA to demonstrate sufficient funding and acquisition of
Page 2 of 3
Page 95 of 181
necessary project permits.
A significant funding milestone for the new Truckee Regional Library Project is to
secure funding through Bond Measure G in November. The library project has received
formal bond measure endorsements from many private and public entities. This item
for Board consideration is the formal endorsement of the bond measure by way of
adoption of District Resolution No. 2025-20 (Attachment 1).

MEETING DATE: August 20, 2025
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: Michael Salmon, Chief Financial Officer
SUBJECT: 2025 Water Utility Cost of Service and Rate Study
APPROVED BY:
Brian C. Wright, General Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
Provide input and direction on the 2025 water utility cost of service and rate study.
BACKGROUND:
This is a workshop item to review the public process for the adoption of water utility
rates and to provide updates on the water rate study currently being conducted by the
District's third-party consultant. Staff is seeking feedback from the Board to guide the
next steps in the water rate development process as well as to ensure an informed and
transparent process.
The development and adoption of cost-of-service based water utility rates, fees and
charges is integral to the District's ability to effectively fund the construction,
maintenance and operation of a safe, reliable and sustainable public water
system. The water utility rate development process includes:
• Revenue and Cost of Service Analysis
• Design of a Multi-year Rate Plan
• CA Prop 218 Process
• Adoption by Board of Directors
In 2020, the Board adopted Ordinance 2020-02 setting the water rates and the resulting
rates increase for the five years FY21 to FY25. The resulting Board-approved water
rate increase schedule and the resulting average monthly residential bill at 8,000
gallons was as follows:

ANALYSIS AND BODY:
In preparation for the proposal of new water rates for FY26 through FY30 and adoption
by the Board, the District approved a professional services contract with DOWL
Engineering for the development of an updated 10-year capital improvement plan (CIP),
and HDR Engineering to conduct the 2025 Water Cost of Service and Rate Study.
The District's updated Water Infrastructure 10-year CIP was first reviewed at a
workshop with the Board on July 16, 2025. The completion of the updated CIP plan
revealed the District would require significant increases in rate-funded capital
expenditures over the next 10 years in order to address the ongoing need to harden
water system reliability with additional emergency power supply generators,
construction of additional pipelines for system redundancy, continued maintenance of
critical water system facilities as well as replacing other facilities approaching the end of
their useful life. Based upon an assessment of water system infrastructure and
operational needs, the CIP study conducted by DOWL Engineering identified an annual
capital budget equivalent of approximately $7M. This total of$7M is similar to the prior
CIP average per year. However, it should be noted the prior CIP funding was bolstered
by the issuance of$14M in new debt in 2022.
Utilizing the updated water infrastructure 10-year CIP, the water rate study currently
being completed by HDR Engineering is intended to align rate generated revenues with
the District's financial goals. Some additional concerns to be accounted for in the 2025
Water Rate Study Update are:
• Significant and yet-to-be-determined unfunded State mandates associated with
water use reduction and water loss performance standards; and
• Address the continuing rise in costs exceeding that of inflationary expectations for
general repair and replacement services and materials.
HDR Engineering has completed the initial phase of the 2025 Water Rate Study
Update, including the evaluation of the District's revenue requirements, potential rate
design scenarios, and the projected impacts on the District's reserve funds. The draft
study schedules are provided as Attachment 1 to this report.
HDR Engineering has prepared a presentation for this workshop to facilitate a review
and discussion of various water rate options, including resulting impacts on reserve
balances. Based upon the feedback and input generated from the workshop, staff and
Page 4 of 6
Page 102 of 181
HDR Engineering will present recommendations for rate structure components such as
base rate, volumetric rates and tiers for consideration by the Board at the September 3,
2025, meeting.
The District's water utility rates are adopted by the Board of Directors and are subject to
the provisions of California Proposition 218 (Prop 218). Prop 218, also known as the
"Right to Vote on Taxes Act", was adopted in 1996. In the State of California, utility
rates for the consumption of water adopted by a government agency are considered
"property-related fees" and are subject to Prop 218.
Compliance with CA Prop 218 requires the following criteria be met:
• Water rates must be based on actual cost of service;
• District must provide notification by mail to parcel owners within the District
boundaries of the intended rate adjustments;
• District must hold at least one public hearing not sooner than 45 days after the
mailing of notices;
• District must provide an opportunity for parcel owners to formally protest rate
increase (requires majority protest to reject rate increase);
• If proposed rates are not rejected, they may become effective 30 days after the
public hearing and adoption by ordinance.
In order to meet the requirements of Prop 218, staff are proposing the following
schedule:
• August 20, 2025 — Workshop to review the results of the rate study and rate options;
• September 3, 2025 — Approve new water rates and schedule a public hearing for
November 19, 2025;
• September 2025 to November 2025 — Notification and advertisement for scheduled
public hearing, protests and objections process
• November 19, 2025 — Hold public hearing regarding proposed water rates and adopt
ordinance setting new water utility rates
• January 1, 2025 — New water utility rates become effective

Page 2 of 5
Page 142 of 181
• The unemployment rate for the USA in July is 4.2% and the CA rate for June is

• The National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) monthly
publication provided to its members included an informative infographic on utility-
related inflation, presented as Attachment 1 to this report.
2. Overheads, Rent, and Debt Service [Attachment 2]
• Overheads are a material (over $12.6M) cost component of the District's
Budget.
• All amounts for FY26 and FY27 are current draft as of August 20, 2025
estimates.
• Labor Overhead totals $11 AM for FY26, increasing an estimated 11% over
Budget FY25. This increase is due to rate of pay increases' impact on pension
and payroll tax costs, the pension's Unfunded Actuarial Liability (UAL) increase,
the addition of two holidays (11 to 13), and the increase in longevity
compensation.
• Transportation Overhead totals $1.8M for FY26 and reflects an increase of 12%
of FY25 budget. This increase is driven primarily by repair inflation costs, as
well as, fuel costs estimated inflation, and studded snow tires program
introduction.
• Water Rent to Electric of$673K for FY26 is increasing 10% over FY25
budget. Rent is paid by the water utility to the electric utility, as the electric utility
owns the district headquarters building and related assets. Costs include
building operations, utilities and repairs, as well as depreciation of the assets.
• Debt Service for electric is $430K per year and for water is gross $2M and net
required to paid with rates is $1.5M per year. No new debt is currently proposed
Page 3 of 5
Page 143 of 181
for FY26 or FY27. New debt will be required should a new building be
constructed in the future, as discussed in workshop #1.
3. Purchased Power [Attachment 3]
• Purchased power for FY26 is currently estimated at $14.6M which is $1 M less
than FY25 budget. This is driven primarily to favorable energy market conditions
as compared to during the period of drafting the current budget in summer/fall of
2023.

Cost Increases
The past five years have been a period of exploding costs for the electric utility industry and for
broadband providers, pushed by soaring demand, supply chain challenges, raw materials shortages,
increased labor costs and tariffs. The impact has been rapid increases in the cost of producing power,
longer and more unpredictable project timelines and the need for more financing, all of which have
driven electric rates up for residences, businesses and other end-users. Here's a look at what's
contributing to the trend. Percent increase since 2020.

There is currently significant uncertainty as to inflation projections, due in large part to
new tariffs being proposed in an attempt to lower US trade deficits.
For example, a Wall Street Journal article July 9, 2025, title reads "A Hazy Inflation
Outlook Divides the Fed - Minutes from the Fed's June policy meeting tease at a
looming split over whether and when officials will resume rate cuts".
Page 3 of 12
Mggel09 of 583
• Unemployment. As of May 2025, unemployment rates are 4.2% for the USA and
5.3% for California.
• Labor Costs. a) With the Represented employees' Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) updated in 2025, there was an increase in FY25 wages in
comparison to budget totaling $1.2 million including overhead, predominantly
related to the electric utility. b) With the MOU update for a three-year term, the
rate of pay increases for FY26 and FY27 are known cost inflation factors of 4.0%
and 4.0%, respectively. For unrepresented employees (Management,
Engineering and Technical), the District has most often mirrored the represented
employee's rate of pay change. Including overhead, a rate of pay increase of
4.0% equates to an increase in operating expense of $643,000 and $670,000 for
FY26 and FY27, respectively.
• Vendor Expense Costs FY26. We are utilizing current estimates by category/item,
plus 3.0%, as applicable. The current estimate is approximately $240,000 cost
increase.
• Vendor Expense Costs FY27. Generally, we propose utilizing the FY26 estimates
plus a 3.0% inflation factor.
• Operating Reserve. The overall change in operating expenses FY25 budget to FY26
budget, drives a change in the targeted reserve balance of 50% of operating
expenses. This reserve requirement is anticipated to be an increase for FY26 of
approximately $1.5 million.
• Account Growth. The account growth assumptions are 0.9% and 0.6% for electric
and water utilities, respectively, for both FY26 and FY27, as well as all out years in 10-
year financial master plan. The % growth rates are 75% of the 5-year average growth
rates and are appropriately conservative, particularly in light of the potential for
recession and economic volatility. Historical account information is as follows:
Average # Accounts E YOY% W YOY%
2024 141798 0.8% 137690 0.6%
2023 141682 0.5% 131609 0.6%
2022 14,602 1.3% 13,526 0.9%
2021 14,416 1.7% 131400 1.1%
2020 141176 1.5% 131253 0.9%
2019 13,960 13,137
5 Year CAG R 1.2% 0.8%
75% of 5yr 0.9% 0.6%
D) Purchased Power
• For FY25, purchased power budget of$15.45 million represents 48% of the electric
utility's operating expenses.
• KW demand is growing due to electrification and EV vehicle charging.
• KWH volume varies primarily by winter months weather impacts.
• Cost current trend is favorable. However, costs can be volatile, as we saw in the
second half of 2022 and January 2023.
Page 4 of 12
PIRggol78 of 583
• FY26 current estimates, utilizing a 3-year average approach to costs and factoring in
demand growth, we estimate a favorable reduction in purchase power costs of
approximately $1.1 million for FY26 budget as compared to FY25 budget. A decrease
in the purchased power budget will have an impact (reduction) in rate reserve
requirement policy of 50% of the budget. A purchased power detailed analysis will be
reviewed at the August 20th workshop #2.
• District has an Electric Rate Reserve policy (50% of annual power costs) with a
balance of $6.8 million as of June 30, 2025. This reserve balance was drawn down by
$2,36M in April 2023 to address material purchased power cost overruns in 2022 and
January 2023. Replenishment of this draw from electric rates was budgeted in current
budget to occur over 5 years. In 2023, a legal settlement of $480k for CVPIA-related
purchased power from more than a decade ago was received and credited to the rate
reserve account. In 2025, the Q1 Power Cost Adjustment (PCA) provided a transfer in
to rate reserve account of $194,329. Based on current estimates, the $376,000 per
year reserve replenishment planned in the current budget for FY24 through FY28 (5
years) can be reduced by approximately $60,000 per year for FY26-FY28.
E) Personnel
• The District has reviewed the organizational structure several times over the last 24
months and received organizational assessment recommendations from a review
conducted by Moss Adams in 2024. Staff are assessing several potential changes to
align the structure with the evolving landscape of public utility operations and
management, consistent with the District's Mission, Values, and Strategic Plan.
• Current changes approved in 2024 and 2025 that differ from the Budget, and impact
2026 and 2027 Budgets:
o Additions — Director of Electric Operations and Engineering
o Eliminations - none
o Modifications or re-alignments - Electric Utility Director position separated into
Director of Electric Operations and Engineering and Director of Energy Resources and
Supply, Electric Assistant Operations Manager (vacant-hold)
o All of above; 0 FTE's net impact on Budget 2026/2027 compared to Budget 2025
o Budget 2025 - 83.0 FTE
• Potential changes proposed for Budget 2026 and/or Budget 2027 are being
evaluated by staff to minimize financial impacts and maximize resource utilization.
o Budget 2026 - TBD FTE
o Budget 2027 - TBD FTE
F) Overhead Costs
1) Pension Costs - FY25 Budget $3.4 million - the largest component (33%) of labor
overhead

ii. Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL) Required Annual Payment— The UAL payment
is in addition to contributions % of payroll by employee and district. The annual
payment on the UAL is the amortized dollar amount needed to fund past service credit
earned (or accrued) for members who are currently receiving benefits, active members,
and for members entitled to deferred benefits, as of the valuation date. UAL can be
paid monthly. However, the district has consistently paid in July each year to save
approximately 3% in UAL payment annual cost.
Classic Plan - UAL annual payment amount
- FYE 6/30/2025 $1,379,294 (July 2024 payment)
- FYE 6/30/2026 $1,603,540 (July 2025 payment)
- FYE 6/30/2027 $1,778,000 was estimated in July 2024 by CalPERS - CalPERS report
issued in July each year, the actual figure will be known by the end of this month

Adding —$245K in Budget 2026 compared to Budget 2025. Staff will refine this
estimate based on CalPERS Annual Valuation Report issued sometime in July 2025.
2) Medical and Dental - FY25 Budget $3.0 million - the 2nd largest component (29%)
of labor overhead
Adding $208,000 or 7% increase to Budget 2026 for the anticipated premium increase,
based on industry forecast averages. For FY27, staff recommend utilizing a 5%
increase. The provider (NRECA) renewal period runs from August 14th to September
26th, and is when the premium increases are noticed and the District can make any
changes for the 2026 year (subject to required approvals).
3) Fleet costs - Transportation Overhead Budget FY25 is $1.6 million, which includes
$0.5 million in non-cash depreciation expense and $1.1 million of fleet repairs,
maintenance and fuel costs. Transportation overhead rate per hour for the FY25
budget is $17.67. For FY26, staff recommend utilizing the current year's forecast + 3%
for repairs and maintenance expenses. Fuel costs are estimated to increase by 30%
based on current estimates of CARB/LCFS regulatory and California refinery closure
impacts. Fuel budget FY25 is $206K, with FY26 staff estimate at $260k or $54k
increase.
G) Other Expenses (accounts payable)
1) Strategic Initiatives. Resources must be committed to these initiatives and the
current budget includes $160,000 specifically for progressing these initiatives. Staff
recommend maintaining this level of resources in the budget for FY26 and FY27.
2) Insurance. Current FY25 budget of$525K for property, liability, cyber insurance
coverage. Staff estimate a $160k or 30% increase in renewals costs for FY26 and 10%
for FY27 based on current market conditions.
2) 100 Year Anniversary. Staff currently have an estimated $75,000 placeholder for
branding and other 100-year anniversary-related costs.
H) Capital Expenditures
Electric, Water, Fleet and IT are updating the ten-year capital improvement plans for
this budget cycle. A review is scheduled for a later workshop. A material increase in
capital expenditure requirements would have a material impact on respective utility
rates.
1) Debt
• No new debt is proposed in FY26 or FY27
• Current debt service is as follows:
Electric - $430k per year, next 10 years and thereafter through 2047
Page 7 of 12
PIRggel 78 of 583
Water - $21VI per year, next 9 years, $1.3M in 2035, and $1 M thereafter through

J) Investment Income
Current investment yields in 4% range are above current budget expectations of
3%. For budget 2026 and 2027, staff recommend a conservatively budgeted
investment yield level in the 3% range based on current economic forecast estimates.
K) Customer Rates — Electric
The Electric Utility currently has an active cost of service study underway being
performed by a third-party electric cost of service professional services firm. The cost
of service includes the headwinds of rising operating costs such as wildfire mitigation
and labor, somewhat offset by a purchase power costs favorable cost trend. As the
cost of service develops for 2026 and 2027 Budgets this fall, the revenue requirement
will be determined and recommended for incorporation into Budget revenue
expectations to balance the budget. The study includes a time of use rates analysis
and new net metering rates for review and consideration. Electric rate approvals in
December 2023 included an average increase of 12% for 2024 and 12% for 2025, as
well as, the new Power Cost Adjustment (PCA) to address power cost volatility
quarterly. The District's current electricity rates are at the mid to low end of the
competitive benchmark set, and are anticipated to remain competitive.
Several electricity cost informational charts for reference are presented below.

Public Utility District 0
MEETING DATE: August 20, 2025
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: Josh Campbell, Senior Electric Engineer
Mike Swanson, Director of Electric Engineering & Operations
SUBJECT: Workshop on Advanced Powerline Safety Settings (APSS)
APPROVED BY.
Brian C. Wright, General Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
Receive this presentation and provide feedback to staff.
BACKGROUND:
Communities throughout the Northern Sierra Nevada, including the Truckee Donner
Public Utility District (TDPUD) service area, are increasingly vulnerable to catastrophic
wildfires due to a combination of high temperatures, strong winds, periodic drought
conditions, dense forest landscapes and increased human wildland interactions. The
legal, financial, and operational risks associated with utility-caused wildfires are
substantial, particularly in California's increasingly volatile wildfire environment. State
laws, including the principle of inverse condemnation, may impose strict liability on
utilities for fire-related damages, regardless of fault or compliance with applicable
regulations. Given this exposure, it is imperative for the District to adopt proactive,
evidence-based strategies to reduce the likelihood of fire ignitions related to its electrical
infrastructure.
It is currently the District's standard procedure to place substations and field reclosers in
"one-shot" during fire season, a practice started as part of the District's initial Wildfire
Mitigation Plan that was adopted in 2019. Historically, one-shot protocols have been
implemented from May through November based on local wildfire season, with the
precise start and end dates determined based on the moisture levels of vegetation,
temperatures, and other factors. One-shot, or non-reclosing, is a protective setting
change that disables the automatic reclosing function in the applicable protection
equipment. This prevents the re-energization of the faulted primary line to avoid
additional incident energy in the form of arcing or sparks that could ignite adjacent
materials. While this program does prevent the re-energization of faulted lines, it does
not address mitigation of the fire danger associated with the initial fault. It also leads to
extended outage times because the recloser is unable to restore power quickly for
temporary faults that self-clear.

7.08 Continuity of Service incorporating an emergency preemptive de-energization
program (Pre-emptive Power Shutoff or PPS), where the District would deenergize lines
prior to periods of extreme fire risk and prevent the possibility of District equipment
igniting a catastrophic wildfire. This protection does mitigate fire damage as it prevents
any faults from occurring but comes with significant service continuity impacts. Most PPS
events have typically been restored on the same day but have the potential to create
extended outages lasting days until fire risk subsides and electric personnel patrol and
restore power.
Additionally, each year the District's service territory experiences periods in the summer
and fall when fire risk is elevated above normal levels, but not so elevated as to justify a
PPS. Developing a plan to address these elevated fire risk periods is a vital part of the
District's wildfire mitigation plan. One such supplemental plan is called the Advanced
Powerline Safety Settings (APSS).
ANALYSIS AND BODY:
In recent years, the large investor-owned utilities in the State of California have created
fast-trip protection settings and deployed them in their high wildfire threat areas. These
protection designs focus on tripping the protective device as fast as possible to reduce
the incident energy of the fault, minimizing the possibility of igniting adjacent materials.
Fast-trip settings typically clear faults in less than 1 second, and in some instances are
capable of clearing in less than 0.1 seconds. When combined with the blocking of
automatic reclosing, the incident energy of the fault is limited to the initial fault period. To
add perspective, the settings that are currently used in our protective devices can take
up to 10 seconds to clear a fault, depending on the magnitude of the fault.
The wildfire risk reduction associated with these protection methods will likely impact
reliability. APSS has the potential to increase outage frequency due to the increased
sensitivity of the protection device settings. APSS can also potentially lead to larger
outage areas and more customers affected, as well as increased outage durations due
to the patrolling requirements before the power can be restored.
To partially mitigate these impacts, APSS fast-trip settings will only be activated during
periods of elevated fire risk as determined by preset thresholds and fire risk information
provided by the District's third-party weather and risk intelligence consultant, Cloudfire.
Where possible, the settings activation will be limited to the devices that are protecting
the specific areas identified as experiencing elevated fire risk. Once specific zones can
be established for fire risk information, staff plans to install additional protective
equipment where appropriate to minimize outage areas while preserving the risk
reduction that APSS offers.
