UNITED WATER IDAHO INL.
CASE UW!-W-15-01
SECOND PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF
Preparer/Sponsoring Witness: Roger Greaves
REQUEST NO. 38:
Please describe the impact that the Broadway River Crossing will have on the
Company's transmission and distribution lines. When will work on the Company's
transmission and distribution lines be complete? What will be the Company's share of
the costs associated with this project?
RESPONSE NO.38:
The Broadway River Crossing project is a result of ldaho Transportation Department
rebuilding the Broadway Bridge. The Company's existing water main must be relocated
due to the bridge construction.
The new main will be increased in size from the existing 12" to 24" and will tie into
existing 24" water mains on both the north and south sides of the river. The larger pipe
size will provide a substantial improvement in the ability to move water across the river.
The larger pipe size will convey approximately 5,000 gallons per minute more than the
existing pipeline at roughly the same pipeline velocity.
It is anticipated that the Broadway Crossing project will be completed in September.
The estimated cost of the Company's share for the project is $379,428. This is based
upon recent negotiations with the ldaho Transportation Department regarding their
contribution toward the cost of the project. The approved Capital Expenditure
Authorization (CEA) indicates a gross cost of $903,428 and a contribution amount of
$524,000, resulting in a net cost to the company of $379,428.

SECOND PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF
Preparer/Sponsoring Witness: Roger Greaves
REQUEST NO. 44:
Please describe how the quantity of water treated might impact the type of water quality
treatment selected by the Company.
RESPONSE NO.44:
The raw water quality is the primary basis for the treatment technology selected by the
Company, not the quantity of water to be treated. For instance, the treatment
technology selected to remove iron and manganese from groundwater would not be the
same technology used to control turbidity in surface water from the river.
However, each treatment technology will have a range of flow rates at which it is most
efficient and economical, which can make one technology a better selection for treating
a particular contaminant. The flow ranges vary based on the technology and the ability
of the manufacturers of the technology to scale the necessary equipment up or down.

RESPONSE NO.46:
On page 4 of Marshall Thompson's Dl, Section 1320.5 of the Uniform Plumbing Code
was mistakenly referenced for what should have been ldaho State Plumbing Code
Section 605.6 which states that required shutoff or control valves be accessible (See
attached file "Request 46 - CODE REFERENCE.pdfl').

A list of state approved backflow assemblies can be obtained from the State
Cross Connection Coordinator with the Idaho State Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ, 1410 N. Hilton, Boise, Idaho
http : //www.deq. ida ho. gov/water-q ua I itv/d rin kin g -water. aspx).
United Water Idaho will not accept as permitted any backflow assembly that
was not previously accepted and approved by the State DEQ Cross
Con nection Coordinator.
All backflow assemblies will be installed in accordance with the Pacific
Northwest Section, American Water Works Association's (AWWA) Cross
Connection Control Manual and local plumbing codes in effect at the time of
the installation.
Nrw SenvrcE INsPEcrroNs
When turn-on orders are received for new or previously inactive service
connections, an initial assembly inspection will be performed by the Cross
Connection Control Specialist or trained Company staff. This inspection will
verify installation of an approved backflow assembly and confirm the initial
assembly testing.
Water service will be turned off until corrections are made for any of the
following reasons:
o The required assembly is not present
o The installed assembly is not the required type
o The assembly has been installed incorrectly
o The assembly has not been tested and passed
Additional notification will be set to the plumbing inspector to stop issuance
of an occupancy permit.

TESTING
Pnovrsrons
There are several situations when a backflow assembly must be tested by a
state licensed tester. Testing scenarios include: upon assembly installation,
after repair or relocation of a backflow assembly, and annually thereafter on
all assemblies.
Testing shall be done in accordance with outlined procedures in the Pacific
Northwest Section AWWA Cross Connection Control Manual. Backflow
Testers must have a current license issued by the State of Idaho Bureau of
Occupational Licenses (IBOL). In addition, all testers must have their test
kits calibrated annually. A list of state licensed backflow testers can be
obtained from the State of Idaho Bureau of Occupational Licenses'website
(http r //ibol. idaho.oov).
The scheduling and the cost of the testing is the responsibility of the
customer. The customer, or the customer's contracted backflow tester, is
required to send the original, legible copy of the backflow assembly test
report to United Water Idaho no more than 15 days after the test has been
conducted.
Failure to provide for ongoing maintenance and annual testing of an
approved backflow assembly will result in termination of service to the
customer in accordance with the Idaho Public Utilities Commission's (IPUC)
Customer Relations Rules and Regulations.
Assemblies that cannot pass annual tests or those found to be defective shall
be repaired, replaced, or isolated within ten (10) business days. If the failed
assembly cannot be repaired, replaced, or isolated within ten (10) business
days, water service to the failed assembly shall be discontinued. (IDAPA
58.01.08.552.06.e)
Nouce ro Tesr
For assemblies that operate year-round, United Water Idaho will send annual
test notification to effected customers describing the hazard, assembly
details, and testing history of their premise isolation assembly. This Notice to
Test (See Exhibit 3) will include a copy of an approved United Water Idaho
Backflow Assembly Test Report Form. Notification schedules will be based on
testing and assembly records maintai?fffby the Cross Connection Program

Administrator.
For assemblies that operate year-round, the final due date for annual testing
will be 1 year from the last record of successful testing. The Notice to Test
will be sent out in the late summer (regardless of anniversary test date) on
all backflow assemblies that do not have a current test on record for the
calendar year.
For all seasonally operated backflow assemblies and irrigation services,
annual notice for testing will be sent out in early April (regardless of
anniversary test date). IDAPA Rule 58.01.08.06.e details state requirements
for annual testing and repair. United Water Idaho strongly encourages
irrigation assembly owners to complete annual testing during irrigation
district watering season. Out of season testing lapses on irrigation assemblies
will be a primary focus for local enforcement of failures to test rules.
Tesr Requrneurrurs

[e-mail] . Testers who choose the email
option are encouraged to send an initial sample report to
ensure delivery and acceptance.
Backflow Tester will be suspended from testing in the united water service
area if they are found to falsify reports, commit fraudulent acts, misrepresent
repairs, or continually submit late reports. An online listing of suspended
testers will be maintained and published by the Company for customer
reference. Testers may petition the company for reinstatement the following
calendar year.
AsseMeLY Teccrruc
Testers must physically tag each tested assembly. Tags will be weather
resistant and securely affixed to each assembly (laminated business cards
and zip-tie fasteners are acceptable). As shown in Example 1, tags must
include: test date, tester name, license number, and testing company name.
Example 7: Tag Format and Example of Properly Tagged Assembly

TERMINATION OF WATER SERVICE
The Cross Connection Control Program is essential to reducing the risks of
backflow contamination or pollution to the public drinking water supply. This
Program seeks to eliminate the potential for cross connection between the
public water system and other non-potable water sources. It is United Water
Idaho's intention to provide customers every opportunity to comply with
state cross connection control requirements and this Program.
IMMeorarE TERMTNATToN oF Senvrce
Water Service will be terminated immediately upon discovery of any actual or
potential cross connections between the public water system. IPUC Utility
Customer Relations Rules provide United Water Idaho the right to deny or
terminate service without prior notice to any customer or applicant and
without the customer's or applicant's permission when conditions
immediately dangerous or hazardous to life, physical safety, or property
exists, or if necessary to prevent a violation of federal, state or local safety or
health codes. (Ref: IDAPA 31.21.01, Rule 303)
Fmlune ro CoMpLy wrrH Norrce oF DETERMTNATToN
Water Service will be withheld (or terminated) for failure to comply with a
Notice of Determination requiring installation of an approved backflow
assembly. A backflow determination review will be part of any new service
establishment process, and may also result from site inspections of existing
service locations.
Failure to comply with any notice of determination will result denial of water
service to new customers, or immediate termination for existing connections.

Any assembly owner who fails to provide timely evidence of annual testing by
a state licensed Backflow Assembly Tester will receive an Initial Notice of
Termination.
Inrrrnl Norrcr or Inrenr ro TERMrNare Srnvtce
Any backflow assembly owner who does not comply with annual state testing
requirements will be sent an Initial Notice of Termination 10 days prior to a
proposed date of termination (Initial Notice of Termination, See Exhibit 2).
This Initial Notice of Termination will include:
o The reason(s), citing ldaho Public Utilities Commission (IPUC) and Idaho
Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) rules, why service will be
terminated
o The proposed date of termination
o Actions to be taken to avoid termination, including details on the approved
assembly type, premise isolation location, and ongoing test requirements
for protection.
. Complaint filing and service re-establishment instructions
Customers can avoid termination by providing United Water with evidence of
annual testing, or by demonstrating to United Water Idaho's Cross
Connection Control Specialist(s) that permanent physical separation exists
between potable water service and related cross connection hazards. (Ref:
IPUC United Water Idaho Inc. Rate Schedules and Rules and Regulations,
Sheet No. 14)
Frnnl Norrce oF INTENT To TERMTNATE SERVTcE
United Water will diligently attempt to contact any backflow assembly owner
who is out of compliance with state testing requirements. Either in person or
by telephone, contact will be attempted to advise owners and customers of
the proposed action. United Water staff will also make clear steps that can be
taken to avoid termination.
At least twenty-four Qa) hours before the proposed date of termination,
United Water will provide a final notice of intent to terminate water service.
This notice will include:
o The reason(s), citing IPUC and DEQ rules, why service will be terminated
o The proposed date of termination
o Actions to be taken to avoid termination.
o Complaint filing and service re-establishment instructions
Customers can avoid termination by providing evidence of annual testing, or
by demonstrating to United Water Idaho's Cross Connection Control

ReesrasLrsHrNc Senvrce Arren A Cnoss Connecrron Relareo
Tenurnntlon
Following a cross connection related service termination, customers may
contact United Water Idaho to schedule a site inspection for service
reestablishment. Prior to reconnection, it will be the responsibility of the
customer to demonstrate to United Water ldaho's satisfaction that the root
cause for termination has been addressed.
At a minimum, this will require completion of backflow test by a state
licensed backflow assembly tester. In locations where an approved assembly
was not in place, it will require installation and inspection of an approved
backflow assembly per determination instructions from United Water Idaho's
Cross Connection Control Specialist(s). Assembly owners will be responsible
for the full cost of assembly installation and testing.
Alternatively, if a customer can demonstrate to United Water Idaho's
satisfaction that the cross connection hazard has been eliminated, water
service may be reestablished without the need for premise protection. United
Water Idaho's Cross Connection Control Specialist must witness or inspect
the permanent physical separation from any related cross connection
hazards. Further determination of the need for backflow protection will be
made at the discretion of United Water ldaho's Cross Connection Control
Specialist (s).

Preparer/Sponsoring Witness: Roger Greaves
REQUEST NO. 59:
Please provide a copy of the current contract(s) used to obtain services for facility

a. term of the final contract (i.e., annual, project specific, etc.);
contract development process including whether it is a competitive process;
how any 'requests for proposals' are advertised, along with an example
advertisement;
d. whether multiple companies are awarded contracts depending on various
specializations; and
e. whether the specific tasks conducted under the contract(s) are developed as
task orders.

The Company has had many contracts with specialty contractors, consultants and
construction contractors as needed for the services required. These contracts are
available for review by Staff at the Company's office. As an example of such a
contract, the current contract for facility installations, new construction, and
replacements is attached. This contract is referred to as an "annual contract". The
responses below relate to the "annual contract". See "Response No. 59 - Annual

SECOND PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF
b. The development of the annual contract for facility installations, new
construction, and replacements is a competitive process. The development
proceeds in the following manner:
o Previous contract is reviewed to ensure that the terms are acceptable
going fonrvard.
o Bid schedules are developed. The bid items are measured on a per each
basis or per a standard unit such as lineal foot or square foot.
. Other selection criteria are developed as well, such as safety records and
resource availability.
. The bid requests are delivered to the contractors.
. The bids are received back from the contractors and are evaluated by a
committee. The evaluations are based on price and on the other selection
criteria. The evaluations are conducted in accordance with pre-set
evaluation criteria.
. Once the apparent successful bidder is determined, all participants are
notified.
. A contract is executed with the successful bidder.
c. We do not advertise requests for proposals. The requests are given to a pre-
determined group of contractors that have the abilities and resources to
complete the required work.
d. We have one main annual contractor. We do have master services
agreements with other, specialty contractors such as electricians.
e. Task orders are used essentially as "notices to proceed" for the contractor to
execute a specified scope of work.

(e) Any Progress Payment or any partial or entire use or occupancy of the Project by the Company
shall not constitute an acceptance of any Work not in accordance with the Contract Documents.
(f) When the payment terms are on a cost plus basis, the parties acknowledge that under state law,
the Contractor is liable for use tax on materials used in connection with improvements to real
property, and the Company is responsible for sales or use tax with respect to the tangible personal
property purchased or acquired in connection with the project. The parties agree that the
payments to Contractor under this Agreement are intended to cover and reimburse Contractor for
all sales and use taxes that could be due for any property acquired, purchased or used in
connection with the project, whether that property is used or consumed in constructing
improvements to the real property or whether that property is tangible personal property
purchased or acquired by the Contractor for the Project, either for the Contractor or as agent of the
Company. Contractor hereby indemnifies and holds the Company harmless from and against the
assessment of any sales or use taxes due or asserted in connection with the project, and shall,
upon request by the Company, defend the Company from the assessment or threat of assessment
of any such sales or use taxes. lf Contractor seeks to avoid payment of sales taxes on the
portion of the contract price that represents non-taxable services as opposed to payments for the
acquisition or use of property, Contractor shall have the responsibility for separately accounting for
those services. Contractor agrees to maintain records relating to the acquisition or use of property
relating to the project, for a period of four (4) years following completion of the project, and to
make such records available to the Company in the event the Company is audited.

because of:
i. defective Work not remedied (including incomplete or defective Work listed on the

unless a separate statement is furnished by the Contracto/s insurance carrier that such

iv. failure of the Contractor to make payments properly to Subcontractors or for labor,
materials and equipment;

(c) lf any mechanic's lien is filed against the Project or any part thereof, the Company may, ten (10)
days after written notice to the Contractor of the existence of such lien, and until such lien has
been discharged by the Contractor, retain a sum equivalent to one and one-half times the amount
of such lien. However, in the event said lien is not discharged of record within four (4) months of
filing, the Company may cause same to be discharged by depositing the required amount with the
County Clerk or by paying the claimant directly and filing a duly acknowledged receipt with the
County Clerk, at the expense of the Contractor, after two (2) weeks prior written notice to the
Contractor. The Contractor may, at its option, discharge said lien at its sole cost and expense, by
bonding or otherwise.

withheld by the Company, as security against such claim, from any money due hereunder, until
such time as the commencement of an action thereon would be barred by law, or until final
adjudication or such action by a Court of competent jurisdiction or settlement thereof, unless the
Contractor delivers to the Company a bond or bonds or insurance coverage adequate to protect it
against such claim. lf no action is commenced upon such claim within the time limited therefore
by law, the Company, upon written demand by the Contractor, shall return the amount so withheld,
without interest. lf an action of such claim is timely commenced and the liability of the Company,
or the Contractor, or both, have been established therein by a final judgment of a Court of
competent jurisdiction, or if such claim shall have been admitted by the Contractor to be valid, the
Company may pay such judgment or admitted claim out of the monies retained under the
provisions of this Paragraph, and return the balance, if any, without interest to the Contractor,

(e) All Retainage shall be paid to the Contractor upon Final Acceptance except (i) for sums retained
as security against third party claims and property damage claims which shall be released or
applied in the manner described in the prior subparagraph, (ii) offsets or deductions for the cost of
uncorrected work and the reasonable value of work required to comply with the Warranty of
Construction and (iii) 150% of the outstanding amount of any liens.
(f) Regardless of the amount of time, Company withholds money from the Contractor; the Contractor
shall not be entitled to interest on such Retainage.
(g) Company reserves the right to waive Retainage as long as work continues to be completed
satisfactorily and on schedule.
7. INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE
(a) The Contractor alone shall be responsible for the safety, efficiency and adequacy of the equipment
and methods. The Contractor shall use such methods and equipment for the safe performance of
the Work as will secure a satisfactory quality of Work and a rate of progress in accordance with
the Progress Schedule which in the opinion of the Company Representative will ensure the
completion of the Work within the time stated in the Proposal. When the Company Representative
observes that the progress of the work is falling behind the established schedule, he will request
the Contractor to re-assess his working force and make adjustments as necessary to finish the
work by the completion date. When the Company Representative observes an unsafe condition or
an inadequate quality of the work being performed, he will request the Contractor to correct the
unsafe condition or inadequate quality of the work. Failure of the Company Representative to
make such observations and request, however, shall not relieve the Contractor from his obligation
to secure the safe conduct, the quality of Work, and the rate of progress required by the
Agreement.
(b) All Work shall be subject to inspection by the Company Representative at all reasonable times and
at all places prior to Final Acceptance. The Contractor shall provide sufficient, safe and proper
facilities at all times for inspection by the Company Representative. Any such inspection is for the
sole benefit of the Company and shall not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility of providing
quality control measures to assure that the Work strictly complies with the Contract Documents.
No inspection or test by the Company Representative shall be construed as constituting or
implying acceptance. lnspection or test shall not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility for
damage to or loss of the material prior to Final Acceptance, or in any way affect the continuing
rights of the Company after Final Acceptance of the completed Work under the terms of this
Paragraph, except as hereinabove provided.
(c) The Contractor shall, without charge, replace any defective materials or correct any Work found by
the Company Representative not to conform to the Contract Documents. The Contractor shall
promptly segregate and remove rejected material from the premises at his own expense. lf the
Company Representative prefers to accept non-cpnforming Work, it may do so instead of requiring
its removal and correction, in which event a Change Order will be issued to reflect a reduction in
the Contract Sum in an amount equal to the reasonable value of the Work found to be defective or
non-conforming. e

(e) The failure of the Company Representative to reject or condemn improper materials and
workmanship shall not prevent the Company Representative from rejecting materials and
workmanship found defective at any time prior to the final acceptance of the completed Work, nor
shall it be considered as a waiver of any defects which may be discovered later, or as preventing
the Company at any time subsequently from recovering damages for Work actually defective.
SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION
(a) When the Contractor considers that the Work, or a designated portion thereof which is acceptable
to the Company Representative, is substantially complete as defined herein, the Contractor shall
notify the Company Representative in writing. When the Company Representative on the basis
of an inspection determines that the Work or designated portion thereof is substantially complete,
he will prepare a list of any items to be completed or corrected by the Contractor (the "Punchlist').
The Company Representative shall then prepare a Certificate of Substantial Completion which
shall establish the Date of Substantial Completion, shall state the responsibilities of the Company
and the Contractor for security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Work, and insurance,
and shall fix the time or times within which the Contractor shall complete the items listed therein.
ln the event the Contractor fails to complete the items listed by the Company.
Representative within the time specified for completion, the Company shall have the option to
complete any or all of these items and shall deduct the cost of completion from any Retainage or
shall deduct the reasonable value of the Work not satisfactorily completed or corrected.
(b) Warranties required by the Contract Documents shall commence on the Date of Substantial
Completion of the Work or designated portion thereof unless otherwise provided in the Certificate
of Substantial Completion.
(c) Upon Substantial Completion of the Work or designated portion thereof and upon application by
the Contractor and certification by the Company Representative, the Company shall make
payment of the Contract Sum Balance, less Retainage computed in accordance with Section 6.

for final inspection and acceptance and upon receipt of a final application for payment, the
Company Representative will promptly make such inspection and, when he finds the Work
acceptable under the Contract Documents and the Contract fully performed, he will promptly issue
a final Certificate for Payment stating that to the best of his knowledge, information and belief, and
on the basis of his observations and inspections, the Work has been completed in accordance

credit the Company with the cost of the rejected items and the Company shall be authorized to
deduct this cost from the Final Payment.

equipment, and other indebtedness connected with the Work for which the Company or its
property might in any way be responsible, have been paid or othennrise satisfied, (2) consent of

payment or satisfaction of all such obligations, such as receipts, releases and waivers of liens
arising out of the Contract, to the extent and in such form as may be designated by the Company
to indemnify it against any such lien. lf any lien remains unsatisfied for thirty (30) days after the
amount specified in the Final Gertificate of Payment is paid to the Contractor, the Contractor shall
promptly upon demand refund to the Company all monies that the latter may be compelled to pay
in discharging such lien, including all costs and reasonable attorneys'fees.
(d) The unconditional acceptance by the Contractor of the Final Payment shall be and shall operate
as a release of the Company, which will be confirmed by separate written instrument executed and
acknowledged by the Contractor if requested by the Company, from all claims and all liability to
the Contractor, for all things done or furnished in connection with the Work and for every act,
omission, and neglect of the Company and others relating to or arising out of the construction work
required under this Agreement, excepting only it's just claims, if any there be, for amounts withheld

valid unless so made. lf the subject of the claim is determined by the Company Representative to
constitute Extra Work and if the Company and the Contractor cannot agree on the amount of the

19. TERMINATION FOR DEFAULT OR EXPIRATION DEFAULT:
(a) lf the Contractor refuses or fails to prosecute the Work, or any separable part thereof, or to correct
defective work as provided in Section 14 of this Agreement, with such diligence as will insure its
completion within the time specified in this Agreement, or any extension thereof, or fails to
complete such work within such time, the Company may, by written notice to the Contractor,
terminate his right to proceed with the Work or such part of the Work as to which there has been
delay. ln such event the Company may take over the Work and prosecute the same to
completion, by contractor or otherwise, and may take possession of and utilize in completing the
Work such materials, appliances and plant as may be on the Site of the Work and necessary
therefore. In the event the Company elects to terminate the Contractofs right to proceed, it may at
its option require the Contractor to assign to it all or any of the Contractor's subcontracts and
material and supply contracts. Except as may be prohibited by the terms of any surety agreement
between the Contractor and its bonding company, the Contractor hereby appoints the Company,
its true and lav'rful attorney with full power to make assignments of Conlractor's subcontracts or
material and supply contracts in the event the Company terminates the Contractor's right to
proceed with the Work as provided for in this Paragraph. The Company shall have no power to
bind the Contractor in any manner further than to make binding and legal all such assignments.
This power of attorney will be in full force and effect until completion of the Work, at which time this
power of attorney shall terminate.
(b) The Contractor and its sureties shall be obligated to reimburse the Company for any damages,
additional costs and expenses which it may sustain by virtue of Contractor's default, and promptly
pay the same to the Company from time to time as demanded less the cost of the materials
supplied and labor performed by the Contractor up to such termination.
(c) lf fixed liquidated damages are provided for in this Agreement and if the Company so terminates
the Contractor's right to proceed, the resulting damage will consist of such liquidated damages
until such reasonable time as may be required for final completion of the Work together with any
increased cost occasioned the Company in completing the Work.
(d) The right of the Contractor to proceed shall not be terminated, nor shall the Contractor be
responsible for damages, for delay in completion resulting from acts of God, acts of the public
enemy or acts of the Government or from labor disputes within the Contractor's business which
are beyond the control of and without the fault of the Contractor and which materially and
adversely impair the ability of the Contractor to meet its obligations hereunder. However, the
Contractor, in order to be excused from such failure or delay, must (a) take all reasonable steps
to remedy the effect of such delay or failure, (b) take all reasonable steps to fulfill its obligatlons ln
a timely manner, (c) provide prompt notice of the failure or delay to the Company, (d) notify the
Company of the reasons for the delay and the anticipated term of the delay, and (e) request an
extension of time to perform. The Company will not unreasonably withhold its permission for such
extension.
(e) EXPIMTION: lf applicable, where Company's existing contract with the Contract Client expires
or is terminated prior to the expiration or termination of this Agreement, Company shall have the

right to terminate this Agreement upon sixty (60) days prior written notice to Contractor without
penalty of any kind.
20. TERMINATION FOR BANKRUPTCY
ln the event that the Contractor shall become bankrupt or insolvent, or shall make an assignment for
the benefit of creditors, or if its affairs are placed in the hands of a receiver or trustee, and the
Contractor has not been previously terminated for default, it shall be considered an event of default
unless the receiver or trustee furnishes assurances satisfactory to the Company within a reasonably
expedient time after his appointment that the Contractor possesses the capability to conclude the
work in a timely and satisfactory manner. The posting of a 100% Payment and Performance Bond by
the receiver or trustee in instances where such bond has not already been posted will be considered
an adequate assurance. lf the Contractor, its receiver or trustee fails to furnish the assurance of the
type and in the manner described above, the Company may, but shall not be obligated to, take over
the Project and terminate this Agreement as above provided.
21. INSURANCE
The Contractor shall purchase and maintain such insurance as will protect the Contractor, Contract
Client (if applicable to this Agreement) and the Company from claims which may arise out of or result
from the Contractor's operations under the Contract, whether such operations be by himself or by any
Subcontractor or by anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them, or by any one for whose
acts any of them may be liable; such insurance shall be written for not less than the coverages and
any limits of liability specified in Schedule D, or required by law, whichever is greater. By requiring
insurance specified herein, Company does not represent thai such coverage and limits will necessarily be
adequate to protect Gontractor or Company, and such coverage and limits shall not be deemed as a
limitation on Contractor's liability under the indemnities or warranties granted to Contractor in this
Agreement. The Contractor assumes responsibility for securing certificates of insurance from his
subcontractors.
(a) Certificates of lnsurance acceptable to the Company shall state that they are Primary lnsurance
and shall name the Company and the Contract Client (if applicable) as an additional insured as
required in Schedule D and shall be filed with the Company prior to the commencement of the Work.
These Certificates shall contain a provision that coverages afforded under the policies will not be
canceled or modified, if such modification may affect the Company's interest, until at least sixty (60)
days prior wriften notice has been given to the Company, except then (10) days notice shall be
provided for non-payment of premium. Contractor's failure to provide Company with such
Certificates of lnsurance shall not be deemed a waiver by the Company of Contractor's obligation
to obtain and maintain such insurance coverage or to indemnify and defend Company in
accordance with the terms set forth in this Agreement.
(b) The Contractor is to handle all claims in an efficient and expeditious manner so as not to burden
the claimant. The Contractor shall provide a person to act as a claim representative to process
and follow-up on all claims. The Contractor's claims representative is required to provide a list of
all claimants on a weekly basis to the Company's claims representative. The Contractor's
representative will be required to be present at the preconstruction meeting. ln the event of

loss or damage resulting therefrom, due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including but not
limited to, acts of God, public enemy or government, riots, fires, natural catastrophe or epidemics. ln
the event of such failure or delay, the date of delivery or performance shall be extended for a period
not to exceed the time lost by reason of the failure or delay; provided that Company may terminate

ESIUELI!o.,E9:
Please describe the Company's contract services proposal review process for facility
installations, new construction, and replacements including whether the proposals are reviewed
by individuals, a committee composed of Company staff or management, and whether specific
review criteria are applied. lf review criteria are applied, please explain whether these criteria
are included as part of the 'requests for proposals' and, if not, please provide a copy. Please
provide a copy of the most recent 'requests for proposals.'
RESPONSE NO.60:
Contract service proposals for the annual contract are received from the contractors and are
distributed to the selection committee for review. The selection committee is comprised of
personnel from the engineering department, administrative department, and the transmission
and distribution department.
Review criteria are developed prior to the proposal being sent to the contractors. ln the most
recent request for proposals, the review criteria were not included in the request document, but
were discussed at length during a pre-proposal meeting at which all of the proposing contractors
were present.
The selection committee reviews the proposals and scores the non-cost based criteria,
individually, based on pre-determined weighting factors. The cost portions are compared in a
spreadsheet and are given a score. The lowest bid price receives the maximum score. The
remaining bid prices receive a proportional amount of the maximum score. The total score for
the bid prices are summed and weighted. The highest score from the individual bid prices
receives the maximum points for the cost based portion of the bid evaluation. The cost based
scores and the non-cost based scores are summed for each bidder. The bidder with the highest
point total is the apparent successful bidder.
A copy of the review criteria and weighting factors are attached. A copy of the most recent
request for proposals has also been attached. See "Response No. 60 - Proposal Review
