These production requests and interrogatories are continuing. IDOA is requested to
provide, by way of supplementary responses, additional documents and information that it or any
person acting on its behalf may later obtain that will augment the documents and information
produced.
In preparing your responses, please restate in full each question asked, then state in full
your response to the question and the name and telephone number of the person(s) who prepared
the response and would be able to answer questions about it or sponsor it at hearing if needed.
See IDAPA 31.01.01.228.
REQUEST NO. 1: Please provide a schematic drawing for the State of Idaho Chinden
Office Complex (the "Campus") indicating the placement and item tag for each of the sub-meters
planned to directly or indirectly track electrical energy use.
REQUEST NO. 2: Please provide a table corresponding to the schematic drawing
requested above, which lists the sub-meter by item tag, specified type, whether the sub-meter
directly or indirectly measures electrical energy use, the data collected, and the corresponding
units for the data collected (i.e. kW, kw-hr, BTU, degrees, gpm, etc.).
REQUEST NO. 3: Please provide the specification or manufacturer cut sheet that
details each type of sub-meter planned for use in the table requested above.
REQUEST NO. 4: Please provide a detailed description of the methodology to allocate
the Idaho Power Campus-wide billing to all the sub-entities (including leases). This description
should provide enough detail so it describes the calculations from the data collected from all the
sub-meters (identified by item tag) and how this data will be used to reconcile and allocate the
different charges within the overall campus-wide bill (i.e. customer, demand, energy) to all the
sub-entities.
REQUEST NO. 5: Please provide the plan for tenant notification and estimated outage
impacts as construction and the sub-meter installation is performed.
FIRST PRODUCTION REQUEST
TO THE IDAHO DEPARTMENT
OF AMINISTRATION 2 MAY 4,2018
REQUEST NO. 6: Please provide the short and long-term plans for energy system
operation and maintenance at the Campus.
REQUEST NO. 7: With respect to the Campus, will electricity costs be a separately
identified component on each bill provided to non-state tenants? Will electricity costs be a
separately identified component on the bill provided to state agencies? Please provide a sample
bill for tenants at the Campus.
REQUEST NO. 8: With respect to the Campus, has the IDOA entered into an Energy
Savings Performance Contract(s) as described in Idaho Code $ 67 -57 | 1D? If so, please provide
copies of any contract. If not, does IDOA intend to enter into any such contract? Please explain.
REQUEST NO. 9: In its preparation for state office occupancy in Building 2,has IDOA
installed, or does it intend to install, any energy efficiency measures in the near future? Please
explain.
REQUEST NO. 10: Staff understands the Campus is served by Idaho Power, who
supplies primary service under Rate Schedule 19. Rate Schedule 19 has several components:
service charge, basic charge, demand charge (varies by season), on-peak demand charge, and
energy charges for on-peak, mid-peak and off-peak usage (varies by season). Staff also
understands that HP Inc.'s lease provides that IDOA only will bill HP Inc. for HP Inc.'s actual
costs. How will total costs of electricity be recovered for HP Inc.?
REQUEST NO. 11: Please provide the energy sources for the Campus boilers
REQUEST NO. 12: Building 8 is separately metered, but it appears that Building 8
does not pay its own electrical costs under its lease. How is that cost recovered? Please explain
in detail.
FIRST PRODUCTION REQUEST
TO THE IDAHO DEPARTMENT
OF AMINISTRATION aJ MAY 4,20T8
REQUEST NO. 13: On page 11 of its petition, IDOA states: "Initial estimates for
equivalent separate metering range from two to three million dollars. These costs will either
require appropriation of taxpayer funds by the 2019 Idaho Legislature or will be paid in part by
electric ratepayers through Commission approved processes."
a. Please provide a copy of the cost estimate for separate metering, showing how
that estimate was determined
b. Please explain why IDOA believes that electric ratepayers might have to pay for
metering costs incurred by IDOA.
REQUEST NO. 14 Staff understands that IDOA requested Idaho Power to prepare an
estimate of costs to operate and maintain electrical facilities for the Campus. Has Idaho Power
submitted its estimate to IDOA? If so, please provide a copy of that estimate. If IDOA intends
to use another entity to operate and maintain the electrical facilities, please include that estimate
of costs.
REQUEST NO. 15: Please provide the Site Power Distribution document included in
