NOTE: \A/here requested information has not been provided, please explain why
it was not provided and how the Company assured the construction of the pQect at a
least cost.
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 3: One of the projects specific to the safety of
Boardman plant personnelwas the upgrade of the fire protection system, which was done
in conjunction with the installation of a fire detection system in 2013 as discussed in the
Company's Response to Request No. 5. The purpose of the upgrade was to reduce the
risk associated with a lubricating and control oil fire. The existing system was installed
when the plant went commercial in 1980 and lacked several protective functions. The
hardwired panel had push buttons and indicating lights; it was no longer able to shor a
new alarm on the system if one already existed, decreasing the operator's awareness of
the status of the plantwhile also requiring a series of manualactions.
The proiect began with an oil fire risk assessment performed by Boardman's
propefi insurer. The assessmentwas performed on allflammable lubricating and control
oil systems to identiff potential release scenarios, sources of large leaks, and determine
the specific conditions necessary that would permit the safe shutdown of lube oil, seal oil
and contro! oit systems. Given the complexrty of the various piping systems, including
lubricating oil, hydrogen seal oil, and hydraulic and controloil, for both high pressure and
low pressure systems, it was necessary to fully understand all potential leak points and
their significance before developing a design specification for the project. The results
showed that the existing fire protection arrangements for the large oil system skids
(including the filters, pumps etc.) was inadequate, determined that the non-welded
components in the piping system (threaded flange bolts, compression, etc.) required

construction of the project is at least cost.
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO.4: Evaluation of the expansion of the
maintenance and weld shops began in 2008. The shop and warehouse spa@ are used
by the Boardman crews for maintenanoe and the storage of large spare components on
the turbine deck. \Mth the environmentatand emissions controls installation on the
horizon, it was determined the available work space in the plant would become more
limited as the area would fillwith more new @mponents, requiring even more
maintenance. lnadequate shop and warehouse spaoe carried a risk of damaging spare
parts due to contamination from maintenan@ activities happening beside them while
also leading to inefficient work prac'tices, potentially extending outages.
Due to the voluminous nature of the documents provided in response to this
request, the mix of confidential and non-confidential information provided by the plant

RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 5: One of the projects specific to the safety of
Boardman plant personnelwas the installation of a fire detection system, which was done
in conjunction with the upgrade of the fire protection system discussed in the Gompany's
Response to Request No. 3. The existing system was installed when the plant went
commercial in 1980 and lacked several protective functions. The hardwired panel had
push buftons and indicating lights and was no longer able to shor a new alarm on the
system if one already existed, decreasing the operator's awareness of the status of the
plant while also requiring a series of rnanual actions.
\Mren evaluating the system, it was also determined fire detection sensors on the
generator step-up transformers needed to be replaced and connected to the fire detection
system. The sensors had been disconnected because the transformer deluge system
was having sensor failure problems and had been removed from the automatic operation
because it was causing the plant to trip. This put the main transformer at an increased
risk if a fire were to occur while also potentially slowing the response time to extinguish a
fire. ln addition, as explained in the Response to Request No. 3, as a result of the
assessment of the piping system and the potential for an oil-fed fire, further investments
were required in the fire detection system.

request, the mix of confidential and non-confidential information provided by the plant

RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 12: The largest of the reliability and safety
investments involved the replacement of variable speed drives, also referred to as
variable ftequency drives. Boardman's four induced draft fans, which are 3,500
horsepower each, have variable speed drives to controlfurnace draft, allowing the motor
to run at a slower speed, increasing energy efficienry. The existing variable speed drives
were aging and becoming increasingly unreliable. ln addition, spare parts and product
support were no longer available from the manufacturer. During a six-month time period,
the plant experienced two separate failures of the variable speed drives, reducing
Boardman's capability while also creating a safety hazard.
As a result, two of the four variable speed drives were replaced in 2013, and the
remaining two in 2014. The costs associated with P35182- BN - Replace VSDs for lD
Fans are specific to the first two variable speed drives that were exchanged. The
replacement of the variable speed drives required three different bids: (1) heating,
ventilation and air conditioning ("HVAC") wo*, (2) electrical installation, and (3) the
variable speed drive replacement. PGE's evaluation of this project included the
replacement of all four variable speed drives. As explained in more detiail in the
Confidentiat Aftachment - Response to Request No. 12 - Boardman Replace VSDs
Reconciliation document, further engineering work determined the project would be split
with two installations to occur in 2013 and the second two in 2014. The documentation
to support the Company's response in this request includes the support for the variable

speed drive replacement in its entirety and may be specific to a certiain project within the

Please note, the Boardman documentation most ofien refers to the project as the variable
frequenry drive replacement while the ldaho Power documentiation identifies the project
as a variable speed drive replacement.
