ldaho Power Company State of ldaho - Department of Administration Construction Study Version 1
1. lrurnooucnoN
The State of Idaho - Department of Administration ("State") requested Idaho Power Company
("Idaho Power" or "Company") evaluate the modifications necessary for Idaho Power to own and
operate the electrical system at the State's Chinden Campus (the "Project"), including the
following:
o What, if any, portion of the Chinden Campus' current electrical system meets Idaho
Power's standards;
o Requirements for redesigning the existing electrical distribution system to Idaho Power
construction standards;
o Requirements associated with various metering configurations;
o Estimated costs for design and construction of Idaho Power electrical distribution work;
o Estimated monthly amount of facilities charge service; and,
o Estimated constructiontimeline.
Idaho Power is providing two Construction Studies to the State. Version I locates the Point of
Delivery (POD) at the Hewlett Packard Substation, and provides the necessary configuration, if
the Idaho Public Utilities Commission ("Commission") grants the State's request for an exemption
to the Commission's master metering rules (Case No. IPC-E-18-08). Version 2 locates the POD
at each building or chiller at the Chinden Campus, and provides the necessary configuration if the
Commission does not grant the State's request in Case No. IPC-E-18-08.
This Construction Study outlines the preliminary estimated costs and timeline associated with
Version 1 and is dependent upon the Commission approving the State's request for an exemption
from the Commission's master metering rules in Case No. IPC-E-18-08. This Construction Study
is not a binding offer, but rather a conceptual study completed by Idaho Power for purposes of
providing the State with information relevant to the State's decision to proceed with the Project.
2. BAcKGRoUND
In November 2017, the State inquired about Idaho Power assuming ownership and providing
ongoing maintenance of the electrical distribution system located at the State's Chinden Campus,
pursuant to Rule M of Idaho Power's Tariff. At that time, Idaho Power informed the State of the
Commission's Master Metering Rules for Electric Utilities (IDAPA 31.26.01) ("Rules") and
discussed Idaho Power's recommendation of requiring separate PODs at each individual
customer's building to comply with the such Rules.
Customers requesting load greater than I MW receive service at the primary voltage, and are
responsible for providing transformation of power to the necessary voltage for use by the customer
beyond the POD. Distribution facilities installed by Idaho Power, up to and including the meter
at the primary service level customer's POD, are installed pursuant to the terms of Rule H of Idaho
Power's Tariff (Rule H). Customers taking service at a primary voltage level may request that
Idaho Power own, operate, and maintain distribution facilities located beyond the POD pursuant
to Rule M.
June 22,2018State of ldaho - Department of Administration Construction Study Version 1
Page 1
ldaho Power Company State of ldaho - Department of Administration Construction Study Version 1
Customers requesting load less than I MW receive service at a secondary voltage, and all
distribution facilities installed prior to the POD (including transformation facilities) are installed
pursuant to Rule H.
The State inquired about an exemption from the Commission's Rules and requested Idaho Power
evaluate owning facilities beyond the POD if the Commission were to grant the State an
exemption.
While the Company does not currently have a standard option to assume ownership of customer-
owned equipment and provide ongoing maintenance in exchange for the customer paying a
facilities charge, Idaho Power evaluated the electrical distribution equipment at the Chinden
Campus and committed to explore options for accommodating the State's request. Ultimately, the
bulk of the distribution system located at the Chinden Campus is non-standard to Idaho Power's
distribution system and acquiring the State's equipment would pose operational concems for Idaho
Power as further described below. However, the distribution cable and duct-vault system at the
Chinden Campus is currently constructed and maintained consistent with Idaho Power's operating
standards and practices. If the Commission grants the State's exemption request, Idaho Power is
willing to assume ownership of the cable in exchange for the State paying a facilities charge
(further described in sections 3.2 and 8). Accordingly, the remainder of this Construction Study
anticipates Idaho Power taking ownership and maintenance of the equipment standard to its
system.
3. ReQUIRED UpcneDES To THE STITe's GHIruoeN CAMPUS
ElecrRrcAL SYsrem - VensroN 1
At the State's request, Idaho Power is providing a proposed electrical configuration appropriate
for Idaho Power to own and operate in accordance with Rule M of Idaho Power's Tariff. Rule M
is attached as Appendix A to this Construction Study for the State's reference.
3.1. Summary:

ldaho Power Company State of ldaho - Department of Administration Construction Study Version 1
The existing transformers and switches at the State's Chinden Campus do not meet Idaho Power
standards and must be replaced for ldaho Power to provide facilities charge service. Idaho Power
does not operate or maintain equipment inside of buildings and is phasing out live-front
switchgear. The State's Chinden Campus distribution wiring is a delta system. The ldaho Power
distribution design standard is a grounded wye system with a system neutral. Idaho Power does
not use a delta distribution design system that does not contain a system neutral. Therefore, Idaho
Power does not retain inventory of delta primary voltage electrical equipment like the transformers
installed at the State's Chinden Campus. Idaho Power employees are trained to operate and
maintain a wye standard primary voltage system.
The existing primary cable at the Chinden Campus also does not meet Idaho Power's standards;
however, Idaho Power is able to take ownership and re-use the cable, where possible, considering
there are no operational differences between the existing cable and Idaho Power's standard cable.
In addition, the existing cable conduit is properly sized and can accommodate Idaho Power's
standard cable, which Idaho Power will use to replace the existing cable if failure occurs in the
future.
Idaho Power's proposed design (work order maps) for Version I are attached as Appendices B-l
andB-2 to this Construction Study for the State's reference.
3.2. Rule M Facilities Gharge Service Work Description:
Idaho Power obtained identiffing information associated with the State's switches and
transformers, to be removed from the Chinden Campus, from the Hewlett Packard Site Power
Distribution Drawing No. E-5. Hewlett Packard Site Power Distribution Drawing No. E-5 is
attached as Appendix C to this Construction Study for the State's reference. New Idaho Power
devices will be renumbered by Idaho Power.
The following descriptions of work to be completed under a Rule M facilities charge arrangement
start with equipment located at the substation and move clockwise through the Chinden Campus
as shown on the ldaho Power work order maps (attached as Appendices B-1 and B-2):

4. GoNSTRUcTIoT SeoUENcING
Cutover to the new system requires multiple isolated outages. The outages will be planned and
coordinated with the State to minimize intemrptions. The construction schedule will be adjusted
accordingly to meet the State's request that outages are scheduled at least six months in advance
to avoid intemrption of service during the summer months and holidays.
5. ReculartoN, Petnnrrrnc, AND Ornen RrournEMENTS
The metering configuration must be consistent with the outcome of the State's petition for an
exemption from the Commission's Rules. If this exemption is not granted, this Version I
Construction Study with a single POD at HPKD is not a viable option.
Idaho Power will work with the State to understand the permitting necessary for the Project and,
when applicable, jointly coordinate the necessary permit applications. It is also important the State
understand there may be additional regulations and permitting requirements applicable to the
State's facilities which are not Idaho Power's responsibility, and which could impact the estimated
cost and schedule. Although Idaho Power will work with the State on permitting, it is ultimately
the State's sole responsibility to understand and comply with all necessary regulations and permits.

6. GustonaeR Reeurnemeruts
If the State proceeds with Version 1, and upon Commission approval of the State's request for an
exemption and Idaho Power entering into a facilities charge arrangement with the State, the State
will transfer ownership of the underground duct vault and cable to Idaho Power, at no cost to ldaho
Power, pursuant to an Asset Transfer Agreement to be negotiated between the State and ldaho
Power. The State will also be required to provide Idaho Power with the necessary easements on
the State's property to accommodate installation, operation, maintenance, alteration, relocation,
upgrades, conversation, and/or removal of the facilities and equipment associated with the Project,
at no cost to Idaho Power. The easements and executed Asset Transfer Agreement must be in
place prior to the Project construction start date, as shown in the estimated construction schedule
set forth in Section 8.
In addition, the State will be responsible for other requirements associated with the Project
including, but not limited to, the following:
Disposing the transformers and switches that are removed by Idaho Power;
Replacing damaged landscape and sidewalks;
Providing and installing service wire from the buildings to the secondary side of the
transformers;
Verifying to Idaho Power that the State's back-up generators are isolated from back-
feeding to the primary side of the transformers in accordance with applicable codes;
Providing necessary access for specialized equipment (cranes, line beds, cable pulling
equipment, etc.);
Allowing ldaho Power to provide a parallel Idaho Power lock, in addition to the State's
lock, on enclosures containing Idaho Power equipment; and,
Coordinating and communicating outage information with the State's Chinden Campus
tenants.

Idaho Power prepared the cost estimate associated with this Version 1 Construction Study in
accordance with the upgrades outlined in Section 3. The cost estimate is conceptual in nature and
does not represent a refined engineering design; as a result, the final configuration and costs may
change. Factors that may contribute to such changes in configuration and cost include, but are
not limited to:
ldaho Power Company State of ldaho - Department of Administration Construction Study Version 1
Commodity markets have at various times exhibited significant price volatility which could
impact material and salvage values;
Additional equipment to ensure the State's back-up generators are isolated from back-
feeding to the primary side of the transformers is not included;
Adders to account for crews working non-standard hours to minimize impact of outages
on tenants are not included; and,
Salvage value of removed cable has not been included - salvage value, if any, will be
determined at the time of cable removal and adjusted to cover removal costs.

FRcurnES CHARGE
At the State's request, Idaho Power completed a facilities charge estimate in accordance with Rule
M whereby ldaho Power owns, operates and maintains distribution facilities located beyond the
POD in exchange for the State paying a monthly facilities charge. If Idaho Power and the State
enter into a Rule M arrangement, the State's estimated monthly facilities charge payment is
S20,l9l . This includes an estimate for Idaho Power to ( I ) install new equipment pursuant to Rule
M and (2) assume ownership of certain existing facilities located at the Chinden Campus (the cable
described in Section 2).
l. New Equipment: Idaho Power estimates new equipment installation pursuant to Rule M
in the approximate amount of $1,311,508, which would result in a $18,492 monthly
payment (the facilities charge rate for all new equipment equals l.4lo/o of the initial
investment cost).
2. Existine Cable: If the Commission grants the State an exemption from its Rules, Idaho
Power proposes the monthly facilities charge be based on the replacement value of the
existing cable, currently estimated at$287,887. Also, because most of the existing cable
has been in service for over 3l years, Idaho Power also proposes assessing the facilities
charge rate of 0.59%o against the value of the cable. Under this arrangement, the estimated
monthly payment for the existing cable would be $ I ,699. The actual facilities charge will
be based on Idaho Power's average unit price for the replacement value of new cable at the
time Idaho Power takes ownership of the cable.
In exchange for Idaho Power owning, operating, and maintaining the distribution system located
beyond the POD, the State's total estimated monthly payment is $20,191 (S18,492 + S1,699).
This is only an estimate and the State's monthly facilities charge under Rule M will be based on
the actual cost of the facilities installed.
As part of this fee, Idaho Power's commitment to owning. operating, and maintaining these
facilities serves the State by providing specific benefits. In the event of an outage, the State will
have 2417 access to knowledgeable and experienced experts to quickly identify and resolve issues
associated with the facilities. Idaho Power maintains an inventory of commonly used equipment,
including transformers, to ensure the State's electric service is quickly restored in the event of an
outage. Additionally, Idaho Power completes periodic and routine detailed visual inspection and
thermal scanning of equipment beyond the POD to ensure the electrical equipment serving the

State operates effectively. This proactively identifies maintenance needs before an unexpected
outage occurs. The State has the choice to install, own, and maintain its own electrical equipment
beyond the primary meter, similar to how HP historically arranged the campus. However, Idaho
Power does not maintain or provide emergency response to customer-owned equipment.
Idaho Power has made considerable efforts to estimate the costs of the necessary upgrades;
however, it is important the State understand that because Idaho Power intends to contract the
work, costs associated with the new facilities can vary substantially depending on numerous
factors including, but not limited to, current inventory cost, contractor availability, and work load.
9. ESnwIATED ScHeoule
The below Estimated Schedule is dependent upon the State entering into a Facilities Charge
Service arrangement with Idaho Power pursuant to Rule M.
Table I outlines an Estimated Schedule for design, material procurement, and construction. The
schedule allows for six (6) months of outage coordination between award of the contract and
construction per the State's request. If the State desires to compress the outage coordination
schedule, an earlier completion date may be achieved.

RULE M
FACILITIES CHARGE SERVICE
This rule applies to eligible customers taking Primary or Transmission Service under Schedules
9, 19 or Special Contract, or Transmission Service under Schedule 24. Eligible Customers may
request that the Company design, install, own, and operate transformers and other facilities beyond the
Point of Delivery that are solely provided to meet the Customer's service requirements. This service is
provided at the Customer's request and at the option of the Company in exchange for the Customer
paying a monthly facilities charge to the Company. Primary and Transmission Service level Customers
not taking facilities charge services are responsible for providing the transformation of power beyond
the Point of Delivery needed to meet the Customer's service requirements. See Rule B.
'|.. Companv-Owned Facilities Bevond the Point of Deliverv
Under a facilities charge arrangement, the Company will own and operate facilities beyond the
Point of Delivery that are installed to solely benefit the Customer, and the Customer will pay a
monthly facilities charge to the Company based on a percentage of the initial investment cost of
the facilities installed. As part of this arrangement, the Customer agrees to allow ldaho Power
access to the Customer's property to provide installation of facilities, operation and
maintenance, alteration, relocation, upgrade, conversion, and/or removal in order to meet the
Customer's service requirements. The Customer agrees to provide rights-of-way as outlined in
Rule C.
Company-owned facilities beyond the Point of Delivery will be set forth in a Distribution Facilities
lnvestment Report (DFl) provided to the Customer. As the Company's investment in facilities
beyond the Point of Delivery changes in order to meet the Customer's service requirements, the
Company shall notify the Customer of the additions and/or deletions of facilities by forwarding to
the Customer a revised DFl. The Company will also adjust the monthly facilities charge to be
paid by the Customer based on any increase or decrease in the investment cost of the
Company-owned facilities resulting from additions and/or deletions as set forth in the revised
DFI.
2. Alteration and Failure of Companv-Owned Facilities
ln the event the Customer requests the Company to alter (remove, reinstall, or change)
Company-owned facilities beyond the Point of Delivery, the Customer shall pay to the Company
the "non-salvable cost" of such removal, reinstallation, or change. Non-salvable cost as used
herein is comprised of the total depreciated costs of materials, labor, and overheads of the
facilities, less the difference between the salvable cost of material removed, and removal labor
cost including appropriate overhead costs.
Failed equipment will be replaced by the Company as part of providing ongoing operation and
maintenance of Company-owned facilities installed beyond the Point of Delivery. When a failed
piece of equipment is replaced by the Company, the initial investment cost of the failed piece of
equipment will be removed from the Customer's DFI and replaced with the investment cost of
the new piece of equipment to calculate the Customer's monthly facilities charge.

Idaho Power is providing two Construction Studies to the State. Version 1 locates the Point of
Delivery (POD) at the Hewlett Packard Substation, and provides the necessary configuration, if
the Idaho Public Utilities Commission ("Commission") grants the State's request for an exemption
to the Commission's master metering rules (Case No. IPC-E-18-08). Version 2 locates the POD
at each building or chiller at the Chinden Campus, and provides the necessary configuration if the
Commission does not grant the State's request in Case No. IPC-E-18-08.
This Construction Study outlines the preliminary costs and timelines associated with Version 2.
This study is not a binding offer, but rather a conceptual study completed by Idaho Power for
purposes of providing the State with information relevant to the State's decision to proceed with
the Project.
2. BIcxGRoUND
In November 2017, the State inquired about Idaho Power assuming ownership and providing
ongoing maintenance of the electrical distribution system located at the State's Chinden Campus,
pursuant to Rule M of Idaho Power's Tariff. At that time, Idaho Power informed the State of the
Commission's Master Metering Rules for Electric Utilities (IDAPA 31.26.01) ("Rules") and
discussed Idaho Power's recommendation of requiring separate PODs at each individual
customer's building to comply with the such Rules.
Customers requesting load greater than I MW receive service at the primary voltage, and are
responsible for providing transformation of power to the necessary voltage for use by the customer
beyond the POD. Distribution facilities installed by Idaho Power, up to and including, the meter
at the primary service level customer's POD, are installed pursuant to the terms of Rule H of Idaho
Power's Tariff (Rule H). Customers taking service at a primary voltage level may request that

The State of Idaho - Department of Administration ("State") requested Idaho Power Company
("ldaho Power" or "Company") evaluate the modifications necessary for Idaho Power to own and
operate the electrical system at the State's Chinden Campus (the "Project"), including the
following:
ldaho Power Company State of ldaho - Department of Administration Construction Study Version 2
Idaho Power own, operate, and maintain distribution facilities located beyond the POD pursuant
to Rule M.
Customers requesting load less than I MW receive service at a secondary voltage, and all
distribution facilities installed prior to the POD (including transformation facilities) are installed
pursuant to Rule H.
The configuration set forth in this Construction Study (Version 2) anticipates Idaho Power will
separately meter each building and chiller (l I total) located on the State's Chinden Campus. This
configuration allows every tenant on the Chinden Campus to be individually metered by Idaho
Power. For those buildings taking service at a primary voltage, the State requested ldaho Power
design, install, own, and operate transformers and other facilities beyond the POD that are solely
dedicated to the State's service requirements. Facilities located beyond each POD are installed
pursuant to Rule M of Idaho Power's Tariff, and facilities located up to each POD are installed in
accordance with Rule H of Idaho Power's tariff.
Rules H and M are attached as Appendices A and B respectively for the State's reference.
3. ReeurRED UpcnnDES To rHE Srlre's CnruoeN CAMpus
ElecrnrcAL SYsrem - VensroN 2
At the State's request, Idaho Power is providing a proposed electrical configuration appropriate
for Idaho Powerto own and operate in accordance with Rules H and M of ldaho Power's Tariff.
A description of the proposed work is broken out below by the applicable Rules.
3.1. Summary:
I Troublemen are on call to provide emergency response.
State of ldaho - Departme4t of Administration Construction Study Version 2 June 22,2018
Page 4 Confidential
ldaho Power Company State of ldaho - Department of Administration Construction Study Version 2
The existing transformers and switches at the Chinden Campus do not meet Idaho Power standards
and must be replaced for Idaho Power to provide facilities charge service. Idaho Power does not
operate or maintain equipment inside of buildings and is phasing out live-front switchgear. The
State's Chinden Campus distribution wiring is a delta system. The ldaho Power distribution design
standard is a grounded wye system with a system neutral. Idaho Power does not use a delta
distribution design system that does not contain a system neutral. Therefore, Idaho Power does
not retain inventory of delta primary voltage electrical equipment like the transformers installed at
the State's Chinden Campus. Idaho Power employees are trained to operate and maintain a wye
standard primary voltage system.
The existing primary cable at the Chinden Campus also does not meet Idaho Power's standards;
however, Idaho Power is able to take ownership and re-use the cable, where possible, considering
there are no operational differences between the existing cable and Idaho Power's standard cable.
In addition, the existing cable conduit is properly sized and can accommodate ldaho Power's
standard cable, which ldaho Power will use to replace the existing cable if failure occurs in the
future.
Idaho Power's proposed design (work order map) for Version 2 is attached as Appendix C to this
Construction Study for the State's reference.
3.2. Rule M Facilities Charge Service Work Description:
ldaho Power obtained identifying information associated with the State's switches and
transformers, to be removed from the Chinden Campus, from the Hewlett Packard Site Power
Distribution Drawing No. E-5. Hewlett Packard Site Power Distribution Drawing No. E-5 is
attached as Appendix D to this Construction Study for the State's reference. New ldaho Power
devices will be renumbered by Idaho Power.

4. GoNSTRU N E ENC
Cutover to the new system requires multiple isolated outages. The outages will be planned and
coordinated with the State to minimize interruptions. The construction schedule will be adjusted
accordingly to meet the State's request that outages are scheduled at least six months in advance
to avoid intemrption of service during the summer months and holidays.
5. ReculRnoN, PenumnNc, AND Ornen ReournEMENTS
As described above, the State's metering configuration must be consistent with the Commission's
Rules without need for an exemption.
Idaho Power will work with the State to understand the permitting needs specific to the Project
and, when applicable, jointly coordinate the necessary permit applications. It is also important the
State understand there may be additional regulations and permitting requirements applicable to the
State's facilities which are not ldaho Power's responsibility, and which could impact the estimated
cost and schedule. Although Idaho Power will work with the State on permitting, it is the State's
sole responsibility to understand and comply with all necessary regulations and permits.
6. CUSTomERREQUIREMENTS
If the State proceeds with Version 2, the State will transfer ownership of the underground duct
vault and cable to Idaho Power, at no cost to Idaho Power, pursuant to an Asset Transfer
Agreement to be negotiated between the State and Idaho Power. The State will also be required
to provide Idaho Power with the necessary easements on the State's property to accommodate
installation, operation, maintenance, alteration, relocation, upgrades, conversation, and/or removal
of the facilities and equipment associated with the Project, at no cost to Idaho Power. The
easements and executed Asset Transfer Agreement must be in place prior to the Project
construction start date, as shown in the estimated construction schedule set fonh in Section 8.
In addition, the State will be responsible for other requirements associated with the Project
including, but not limited to, the following:
Disposing the transformers and switches that are removed by ldaho Power;

o Replacing damaged landscape and sidewalks;
o Providing and installing service wire from the buildings to the secondary side of the
transformers;
o Verifying to ldaho Power that the State's back-up generators are isolated from back-
feeding to the primary side of the transformers in accordance with applicable codes;
o Providing necessary access for specialized equipment (cranes, line beds, cable pulling
equipment, etc.);
o Allowing ldaho Power to provide a parallel Idaho Power lock, in addition to the State's
lock, on enclosures containing ldaho Power equipment; and,
. Coordinating and communicating outage information with the State's Chinden Campus
tenants.
7. CoMPLExtnES UttxttowNs AND AssunaPTToNS
Idaho Power prepared the cost estimate associated with this Version 2 Construction Study in
accordance with the upgrades outlined in Section 3. The cost estimate is conceptual in nature and
does not represent a refined engineering design; as a result, the final configuration and costs may
change. Factors that may contribute to such changes in configuration and cost include, but are not
limited to:
. The estimates are based on Idaho Power's construction study estimating tools and not
detai led design estimate;
o Contingencies have not been added and are commonly as high as 30o/o;o Exact locations of meters and transformers have not been determined;
r ldaho Power will likely contract this work and, given the current economy, contractor bids
could escalate substantial ly;
o Commodity markets have at various times, exhibited significant price volatility which
could impact material and salvage values;
o Additional equipment to ensure the State's back-up generators are isolated from back-
feeding to the primary side of the transformers is not included;
o Adders to account for crews working non-standard hours to minimize impact of outages
on tenants are not included;
o Salvage value of removed cable has not been included - salvage value, if any, will be
determined at the time of cable removal and adjusted to cover removal costs; and,
o If Rule H work exceeds S1,000,000, a tax gross-up rate of l9o/o willbe applied.
8. EsnmarED Cosrs
8.1. Project Funding
The facilities necessary to complete the Project are classified as either facilities charge services
(Rule M), see attached Appendix A, or distribution facilities (Rule H) see attached Appendix B.
Pursuant to the regulatory requirements of Idaho Power's Tarifl these two classifications require
the following distinct funding:
June 22,2018State of ldaho - Department of Administration Construction Study Version 2
Page 9
ldaho Power Company State of ldaho - Department of Administration Construction Study Version 2
Facilities charge services (Rule M): under a facilities charge arangement, Idaho Power
will own and operate facilities beyond the POD that are installed to solely benefit the State,
and the State will pay a monthly facilities charge to Idaho Power based on a percentage of
the initial investment cost of the facilities installed.
a
o Distribution facilities (Rule H): the State is responsible for funding distribution facilities
pursuant to the terms of Rule H of ldaho Power's Tariff. The State must initiate the Rule
H design process by submitting a service request to Idaho Power. Following receipt of the
service request, Idaho Power will design the distribution facilities necessary for the Project.
Upon completion of finaldesign, Idaho Power will provide the State with a firm cost quote
for the distribution facilities ("Rule H Cost Quote") refining the distribution facility
estimates listed in the Cost Estimate Table. Upon receipt of the Rule H Cost Quote, the
State will have 60 days to execute the Rule H Cost Quote and submit a purchase order as
a promise of payment for the full amount of the work.
8.2. Rule M Facilities Services Charge Estimate:
At the State's request, Idaho Power completed a facilities charge estimate in accordance with Rule
M whereby Idaho Power owns, operates and maintains distribution facilities located beyond the
POD in exchange for the State paying a monthly facilities charge. If ldaho Power and the State
enter into a Rule M arrangement, the State's estimated monthly facilities charge payment is
$ I 1,812 based on an estimated installation cost of $837,741 for the facilities described in Section
2.1). The facilities charge rate for all new equipment equals l.4l% of the initial investment cost.
The above monthly payment is only an estimate as the State's monthly facilities charge under Rule
M will be based on the actual cost of the facilities installed.
As part of this fee, Idaho Power's commitment to owning, operating, and maintaining these
facilities serves the State by providing specific benefits. In the event of an outage, the State will
have 24/7 access to knowledgeable and experienced experts to quickly identify and resolve issues
associated with the facilities. Idaho Power maintains an inventory of commonly used equipment,
including transformers, to ensure the State's electric service is quickly restored in the event of an
outage. Additionally, Idaho Power completes periodic and routine detailed visual inspection and
thermal scanning of equipment beyond the POD to ensure the electrical equipment serving the
State operates effectively. This proactively identifies maintenance needs before an unexpected
outage occurs. The State has the choice to install, own, and maintain its own electrical equipment
beyond the primary meter, similar to how HP historically arranged the campus. However, Idaho
Power does not maintain or provide emergency response to customer-owned equipment.
Idaho Power has made considerable efforts to estimate the costs of the necessary upgrades;
however, it is important the State understand that because Idaho Power intends to contract the
work, costs associated with the new facilities can vary substantially depending on numerous
factors including, but not limited to, current inventory cost, contractor availability, and work load.
State of ldaho - Department of Administration Construction Study Version 2 June 22,2018
Page 10 Confidential
ldaho Power Company State of ldaho - Department of Administration Construction Study Version 2
8.3. Rule H New Service Attachments and Distribution Line
lnstallations or Alterations Estimate:
The preliminary estimated cost for distribution facilities required to upgrade the State's Chinden
Campus, as described in Section 3.3, is $891,081. This estimated cost factors in Idaho Power
using as much of the existing cable as possible. Upon completion of final design, Idaho Power
will provide the State with a Rule H Cost Quote for the necessary distribution facilities ("Rule H
Cost Quote"). The State will be required to fund the Rule H Cost Quote prior to Idaho Power
beginning construction of the upgrades.
Idaho Power will contract the work associated with upgrading the electrical system at the State's
Chinden Campus. The pricing for contracting work can vary substantially depending on contractor
availability and work load.
8.4. Comparison to Version 1:
The total estimate for Version 2 (51,728,822) is 5417,314 higher than the estimate for Version 1
(S I ,3 I I ,508). This difference is attributed to several items:
a
a
The scope of work is different for the two versions. Version 2 material costs are S341,400
higher than the Version 1 material costs due to several differences, primarily driven by:
the cost of 7 primary meter packages, two additional 500 KVA transforrners, and 2,000
additional feet of l/0 Al triplex cable. Version 2 also has 140 additional feet of trenched
power cable conduit, three additional 3-phase sectors, and two additional 4-way pad mount
switches.
The labor for Version 2 is $47,700 higher than Version I due to the increased scope of
work.
The below Estimated Schedule is dependent upon the State entering into a Facilities Charge
Service arrangement with ldaho Power pursuant to Rule M and signing the Rule H cost quote.
Table I outlines an Estimated Schedule for design, material procurement, and construction. The
schedule allows for six months of outage coordination between award of the contract and
construction per the State's request. If the State desires to compress the outage coordination
schedule, an earlier completion date may be achieved.

RULE M
FACILITIES CHARGE SERVICE
This rule applies to eligible customers taking Primary or Transmission Service under Schedules
9, 19 or Special Contract, or Transmission Service under Schedule 24. Eligible Customers may
request that the Company design, install, own, and operate transformers and other facilities beyond the
Point of Delivery that are solely provided to meet the Customer's service requirements. This service is
provided at the Customer's request and at the option of the Company in exchange for the Customer
paying a monthly facilities charge to the Company. Primary and Transmission Service level Customers
not taking facilities charge services are responsible for providing the transformation of power beyond
the Point of Delivery needed to meet the Customer's service requirements. See Rule B.
1. Gompanv-Owned Facilities Bevond the Point of Deliverv
Under a facilities charge arrangement, the Company will own and operate facilities beyond the
Point of Delivery that are installed to solely benefit the Customer, and the Customer will pay a
monthly facilities charge to the Company based on a percentage of the initial investment cost of
the facilities installed. As part of this arrangement, the Customer agrees to allow ldaho Power
access to the Customer's property to provide installation of facilities, operation and
maintenance, alteration, relocation, upgrade, conversion, and/or removal in order to meet the
Customer's service requirements. The Customer agrees to provide rights-of-way as outlined in
Rule C.
Company-owned facilities beyond the Point of Delivery will be set forth in a Distribution Facilities
lnvestment Report (DFl) provided to the Customer. As the Company's investment in facilities
beyond the Point of Delivery changes in order to meet the Customer's service requirements, the
Company shall notify the Customer of the additions and/or deletions of facilities by forwarding to
the Customer a revised DFl. The Company will also adjust the monthly facilities charge to be
paid by the Customer based on any increase or decrease in the investment cost of the
Company-owned facilities resulting from additions and/or deletions as set forth in the revised
DFI.
2. Alteration and Failure of Companv-Owned Facilities
ln the event the Customer requests the Company to alter (remove, reinstall, or change)
Company-owned facilities beyond the Point of Delivery, the Customer shall pay to the Company
the "non-salvable cost" of such removal, reinstallation, or change. Non-salvable cost as used
herein is comprised of the total depreciated costs of materials, labor, and overheads of the
facilities, less the difference between the salvable cost of material removed, and removal labor
cost including appropriate overhead costs.
Failed equipment will be replaced by the Company as part of providing ongoing operation and
maintenance of Company-owned facilities installed beyond the Point of Delivery. When a failed
piece of equipment is replaced by the Company, the initial investment cost of the failed piece of
equipment will be removed from the Customer's DFI and replaced with the investment cost of
the new piece of equipment to calculate the Customer's monthly facilities charge.

10. Relocations in Public Road Riohts-of-Wav
The Company often locates its distribution facilities within state and local public road rights-of-
way under authority of ldaho Code $ 62-705 (for locations outside ldaho city limits) and the
Company's city franchise agreements (for locations within ldaho city limits). When the
Company is notified of a road improvement project pursuant to ldaho Code $ 40-210, the
Company will meet with the Public Road Agency as provided in ldaho Code to S 40-210.
lf a Public Road Agency determines that the Company's facilities incommode the public use of
any road, highway, or street, the Public Road Agency can require the company to relocate or
remove the facilities. lf a Public Road Agency determines that the Company's facilities must be
relocated or removed because they incommode the public use of the road, highway, or street,
the Company will relocate its distribution facilities from or within the public road rights-of-way
and the Company will bear the costs of such relocation.
lf one or more Private Beneficiaries has requested that the Company's facilities be relocated or
removed, the Company will use reasonable efforts to recover that portion of the total Relocation
or removal costs attributable to the request from the Private Beneficiaries. lf the Private
Beneficiaries dispute the Company's calculation of the Private Beneficiaries' cost responsibility,
either the Company or the affected Private Beneficiaries may initiate a proceeding to have the
Commission establish the reasonableness of the Company's calculation of the Relocation or
removal cost responsibility as between the Company and the Private Beneficiaries.
