SECOND PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF
Preparer/Sponsoring Witness: Kim Ukestad/Lori
Blattner
REQUEST NO. 48:
On page 17 of Company Witness Blattner’s testimony, she explains how the Nampa
Liquefied Natural Gas (“LNG”) facility was out of service for repair due to a leak in the outer
shell LNG tank for most of 2021.
a)Please explain the accounting treatment the Company will use for the repair costs for the
Nampa LNG plant. Please provide Excel worksheets with formulas intact.
b)Please provide a worksheet that details all costs associated with the repair that are
included in this case. If not all costs are being included within this case, please explain
exclusions and accounting treatment that will be applied to them.
c)Please explain how repair costs will be allocated to utility customer classes and off
system sales customers. Please provide the percentage of costs that will be allocated to
each customer class.
RESPONSE NO. 48:
a.The costs for the repair of the originally identified leak in the Nampa LNG facility
will be charged to operation and maintenance expense - subcontract payments.
The costs associated with the replacement and retirement of components of the
facility were capitalized. The majority of the costs were recorded to plant in
service, FERC subplant accounts 361 – Structures and Improvements, 362 – Gas
Holders, and 363 – Measuring and Regulating, while cost of removal was booked
to accumulated reserve. While preparing this response, the Company determined
that $14,888 associated with the leak repair was capitalized and is currently
INT-G-22-07
IPUC DR 48
Page 1 of 2
reflected in plant in service. In January 2023, the $14,888 related to the repair of
the leak will be reclassified from plant in service to operation and maintenance
expense in FERC 843.3 - maintenance of gas holders.
b.Please see RFP 48 – Nampa LNG Tank Repair Costs for details of the costs
associated with the repair.
c.Please refer to Company Witness Ron Amen’s Exhibit 2, Schedule 1, lines 12-14
for the allocation factor for the accounts identified in response to subpart “a”
above. The allocation percentages can be found in Ron Amen’s Exhibit 2,
Schedule 2 under the PDAY_F Demand Factor. The reclassification will not
impact the allocation factor selection; however, it will impact the overall impact
on cost to serve.
Non-utility LNG sales customers are not allocated any portion of these repair
costs because all costs associated with the Nampa LNG plant are included in base
rates for the purpose of being a supply source in the event of a very cold weather
or extraordinary system issues.

REQUEST NO. 50:
Please describe the selection process/methods used for information technology upgrades,
enhancements, and projects for the period of 2016 through 2022.
a.Please describe how the Company addressed least risk and least cost considerations in
selection of projects.
b.Please provide any cost benefit analyses conducted for each project.
RESPONSE NO. 50
A. When addressing projects, the Company looks at a number of factors including least
risk and cost, and starting in 2021, the vendor’s security posture along with security
questionnaires and other security type reports from the vendor are reviewed as applicable.
Several of the projects discussed were related to keeping current with maintenance and security
patches and were required to be completed to avoid potential issues such as downtime and
software vulnerabilities. In general, when evaluating projects, Intermountain looks at company
benefit, compliance requirements, and cost comparisons.
B. Below is information regarding the major information technology projects and
applicable cost-benefit analyses and attachments:
Maximo (asset management system) had a team of individuals that reviewed
vendors and compared features and costs associated with the project. Attached is
the “RFP 50 Maximo Savings Estimate 6-1-18” document that was used during
the review and supports costs that were discussed. As shown in the attachment,
Maximo will provide savings regarding six primary benefits:
INT-G-22-07
IPUC DR 50
Page 1 of 3
o Align operations business processes across the enterprise – facilitate the
one utility objective.
o Replace fragmented and unintegrated operations technology
systems/processes with one unified work and asset management system –
improving efficiency of implementation and support.
o Reduce touch points and redundancy.
o Gain enterprise-wide insight into asset tracking, construction,
maintenance, compliance, and costs.
o Drive consistent workflows across the enterprise, improving work product
results.
o Improve the user experience with consistent field data entry technology –
lowers training needs, and limits confusion and errors.
o These benefits translate into an estimated annual savings of $4.5M. The
greatest savings come from the elimination of touchpoints caused by paper
processes and fragmented systems.
Interactive Voice Response (“IVR”) project involved a team that looked at the
current vendor along with options from Cisco as the current product at the time
was outdated and out-of-support and would not support new technologies and
equipment. The attachment, RFP 50 Avaya-Cisco-Option-Compare.xls, is a cost
comparison document that was created prior to moving forward with the Cisco
solution.
o Power Plan – Power Plan is the Company’s budgeting software. The costs
associated with Power Plan are for a lease module that was implemented for an

accounting mandate to accommodate GAAP accounting rules. The other upgrades
were upgrade costs to stay current with the latest released software. These
upgrades were required to stay within a supported version of software to get
support, bug fixes, and security updates to protect the Company from malware
and downtime. The upgrades were needed to mitigate risks, including downtime
and software vulnerabilities.
o PCAD – PragmaFIELD is used for field order completions across CC&B as well
as Maximo to install meters, inspections, or repairs. These upgrades not only
provided additional functionality the field requires but are also required to stay
within a supported version of software to get support, bug fixes, and security
updates to protect the Company from malware and downtime. The upgrades were
needed to mitigate risks, including downtime and software vulnerabilities.

FIRST PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF
Preparer/Sponsoring Witness: Ryan Privratsky/Patrick Darras
REQUEST NO. 53:
Please describe the Company's current progress of its Aldyl-A replacement program.
a.Based on the Company's assessments, how many miles of Aldyl-A pipe require
replacement in 2023 and beyond?
b.Please provide the expected timeline and annual costs for Aldyl-A replacement.
c.Please provide a workpaper that details the number of miles and costs of Aldyl-A
replacement for each year since the last general rate case.
d.Please provide the accounting treatment for all Aldyl-A cost included in this rate case.
RESPONSE NO. 53:
2017 – 2019
Aldyl-A (Pre-1985) replacement projects were prioritized utilizing Intermountain Gas
Company’s (IGC) Distribution Integrity Management Program (DIMP) risk model. Each
segment of Aldyl-A (a segment being identified by project number and installed during the same
time period) was given a normalized risk score based on the DIMP risk model. The pipeline
segments were then risk ranked based on the normalized risk score. The risk ranking was then
used to identify and budget pipeline segments that would be replaced annually. Replacement
only included replacement of main and did not include replacement of the connected service
lines.
2020 – Present
Beginning in 2020, MDU Utilities Group (MDUG) expanded its System Safety and
Integrity Program (SSIP) to IGC which established a structured replacement program to identify
INT-G-22-07
IPUC DR 53
Page 1 of 6
and replace specific pipeline segments utilizing IGC’s DIMP. IGC’s SSIP utilizes IGC’s DIMP
risk model and relative risk score to establish a weighted average risk score for each town within
Idaho. The weighted average risk score is then used to identify towns with increased risk related
to the type of pipeline segments being targeted through the SSIP. Pipeline segments that are
primarily being targeted for replacement include:
Early Vintage Plastic Pipe (EVPP) – Plastic mains, service lines, and associated fittings
installed earlier than 1/1/1995.
o Pre-1983: These pipelines include pipe installed prior to 1/1/1983 that may be
susceptible to possible Low Ductile Inner Wall (LDIW) characteristics that can result
in slow crack growth and slit failures, as documented by PHMSA–2004–19856.
o Post-1982: These pipelines were installed between 1/1/1983 and 12/31/1994 and are
classified as EVPP to account for different inventory levels and rates of new material
adoption among MDUG.
Early Vintage Steel Pipe (EVSP) – Steel mains, service lines, and associated fittings
installed earlier than 1/1/1970. EVSP includes aging and/or obsolete pipeline segments,
bare steel or poorly coated pipe, pipe with unknown attributes or missing data, gas meters
located indoors, and/or pipeline segments with mechanical couplings and fittings.
Ongoing analysis of EVPP and EVSP continue to show increased risk factors. EVPP and
EVSP are typically pipelines prone to bare or poor coating, industry documented Aldyl-a plastic
defects, unknown attributes, missing data, mechanical fittings, inside gas meters, and non-
reported third-party damages. Universal integrity related project selection has evolved from
utilizing independent high score categories to an integrated, system-based approach which ranks
EVPP and EVSP jointly. These segments of main and their associated service lines have an
elevated risk of failure as validated by DIMP risk analysis.
The replacement of these facilities ultimately increases overall system safety for the
public and increases system reliability for IGC customers.
INT-G-22-07
IPUC DR 53
Page 2 of 6
a.Based on the Company's assessments, how many miles of Aldyl-A pipe require
replacement in 2023 and beyond?
As of IGC’s last DIMP model run (5/1/2022) there are a total of 5,004.63 miles of
EVSP and EVPP main and service in Idaho.
EVSP = 2,449.36 Miles
EVPP = 2,555.27 Miles
o Pre-1983 = 820.88 Miles
o Post-1982 = 1,734.39 Miles
2022 Idaho SSIP Plan - System Integrity – “RFP 53 SSIP 2022 Appendix ID.pdf”
b.Please provide the expected timeline and annual costs for Aldyl-A replacement.
o Timeline - IGC will continue to replace EVPP & EVSP at a consistent rate over the
next five years. Replacement will continue past 2027 and continue well into the
future. Rate of replacement will remain consistent unless IGC’s DIMP risk analysis
indicates further accelerated action is warranted.

Preparer/Sponsoring Witness: Lance Elroy/ Hart
Gilchrist
REQUEST NO. 54:
Please provide the supporting worksheets for the $35 million Work and Asset
Management project referenced in Company Witness Gilchrist Direct Testimony at 7.
RESPONSE NO. 54:
The rounded reference to $35 Million should have been more accurately stated as “the
original estimated cost of the Work and Asset Management system for gas and electric was
approximately $33.07 Million.” The supporting worksheet (“RFP 54 - Maximo Budget and Costs
Through 2022.xlsx”) is included in this response. The worksheet includes a summary tab that
shows the original total budget and the amount budgeted for Intermountain. To be clear, the
$33.07 Million budget was for implementing Maximo for electric and gas across 8 states over 5
years. Intermountain’s portion of this original budget was $5.68M.
The worksheet includes the costs for the project broke into two additional tabs – one for
in service costs and one for open work order costs. The in-service cost is for the first phase of
Maximo and includes all of the compliance/maintenance work. This was under budget and is a
successful deployment.
The open work order costs are associated with Phase II to deploy a fully electronic and
integrated construction solution. Phase II is underway, and the target is to stage the go-lives over
the next 24 months.
