11 UTILITY FEAS MCAS 03-3-97
DATE: 3~.3197 ~' inter_Com( ) MARCH 3, 1997 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: WILLIAM A. HUSTON, CITY MANAGER COM3~ITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY AUTHORIZATION FOR CONSULTANT SERVICES FOR PREPARATION OF A UTILITY FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS FOR MCAS TUSTIN RECOM3~ENDATION It is recommended that the City Council: 1) Authorize the City Manager to execute a Consultant Services Agreement with Resource Management International (RMI), Inc. for preparation of a Utility Feasibility Study; 2) Appropriate $58,500 in General Fund reserves to be reimbursed by State Trade and Commerce Agency Defense Adjustment Grant Funds approved for use by the City of Tustin. FISCAL IMPACT The proposed project cost is $58,500 and is a not to exceed contract amount. $41,000 in costs are attributable to the requested Feasibility Study as it relates to reuse of the MCAS Tustin. An additional $17,500 has been allocated for the additional study of the benefits of aggregating (pooling) City of Tustin electrical costs throughout the community. Costs associated with the execution of this contract will be fully offset through the use of California Trade and Commerce Agency Defense Adjustment Matching Grant funds, thereby resulting in no net fiscal impact to the City's General Fund or Redevelopment Agency funds. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION Federal base closure law has mandated the closure and disposal of MCAS Tustin by July 1999. Federal base closure law provides that the City of Tustin, as the authorized Local Redevelopment Authority (LRA), be given first opportunity to obtain base utility systems in order to support reuse, redevelopment and job creation at closing military installations. The Marine Corps has informed City staff that they City Council Report Utility Feasibility Study March 3, 1997 Page 2 are desirous of early release of these systems to the LRA or, upon rejection by the LRA, to the existing utility companies or any other lawfully permitted entity. Until recently, the provision of utility sen, ices xvas not an option for local agencies. However, deregulation has provided a unique opportunity for the City of Tustin to possibly secure certain benefits to the base which xvill possibly reduce the rates anticipated at the site, thus encouraging rapid redevelopment, job creation and implementation of the Reuse Plan for MCAS Tustin. Many base closure communities across the country are currently evaluating this matter or have come to the conclusion that the acquisition of their own base's utility systems should be pursued. Prior to formally responding to the Marine Corps in this matter, staff concluded that a professional analysis should be undertaken to determine: 1) the feasibility of potentially acquiring the base's gas, electrical and telecommunications systems (water and sewer have been previously released) through an Economic Development Conveyance (EDC); or 2) maximizing our negotiation position with the public utility providers where franchise extension opportunities exist; or 3) facilitating the acquisition by "third party" purveyors capable of providing efficient and economic service to the area. Scope of Work items for the analysis include: · An evaluation of the condition of existing utility systems at MCAS Tustin. Contractor will identify maintenance and repair needs, determine future needs, and analyze profitability to the City of Tustin; · Analyze how the utility systems will be provided for both interim use of the existing system and development and operation of any future utility systems; · Review background materials, studies, conveyance methods, identify risk/liabilities, etc.; · Evaluation and review of asset and fUture capital needs for each utility; · Provide a negotiation strategy for the City; · Prepare application/proposal for presentation to federal offices, if it is determined to be supported by the results of the study A Request for Proposal (RFP) for the proposed Scope of Work was issued which resulted in the following five respondents. Firm Proposed Budget Radcliffe, Rubin Associates Power Resource Managers R.W. Beck Henwood Energy Services, Inc. Resource Management International $240,000 $ 63,720 $ 49,3O0 $ 38,OO0 $ 41,000' * Total amount of contract has since been increased by $17,500. See discussion below on "Additional Task" to be completed. City Council Report Utility Feasibility Study March 3, 1997 Page 3 A ranking of each proposal was conducted resulting in the selection of Resource Management International, Inc. as the best qualified proposal. Members of the City's ranking panel included the Assistant City Manager, Director of Public Works and Director of Finance. Criteria utilized by the panel to select the most qualified consultant included related experience, education, understanding of the project, clarity/creativity of approach, project organization; staff capabilities, and reasonableness of fees (see Attachment A for sample Proposal Evaluation form). It was the conclusion of the panel that RMI has extensive experience in developing similar studies for government agencies interested in issues concerning utility service, lower rates and business attraction. After selection of RMI, Assembly Bill (AB) 1890 (electric restructuring) was adopted on September 24, 1996. The legislation requires local jurisdictions to make an election of an electrical power supplier by not later than January 1, 1998. As a result, RMI was requested to provide an additional study analyzing the' potential benefits of aggregating (pooling) the City's municipal electrical systems (street lights, traffic signals, public buildings, etc.) in order to realize a reduction in overall electrical cost. This additional task has been added to 'the proposed Scope of Work so that the City will be prepared to respond to recent deregulation. A copy of the Consultant Services Agreement prepared for.this work is provided as Attachment B. Upon execution of the contract, RMI anticipates that completion of the study will take approximately two (2) months. The attached contract has been reviewed and approved by the City Attorney. CONCLUSION It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a Consultant Services Agreement with Resource Management International (RMI), Inc. for preparation of a Utility Feasibility Study.

By: Maury Kruth Senior Vice President DO: do\CONSULTS\rmi, con EXHIBIT "A" City's Request For Proposal Scope of Services SCOPE OF SERVICES A. General Systems to be Evaluated Electric System The contractor will audit and evaluate the condition of MCAS Tustin's electrical distribution system. The specific areas to be addressed are: all substations, distribution lines, active and inactive transformers, conduits, poles (wood and concrete) and delivery points to existing structures. The contractor will identify maintenance and repair needs to maintain the system on a yearly basis. Upgrades will be identified that will reduce maintenance costs. The contractor will determine future needs of the existing system and develop an integrated plan for meeting these needs. The contractor will analyze the profitability to the City of Tustin of buying megawatts of power and distributing across the existing and future electrical system. Natural Gas System The contractor will audit and evaluate the condition and capacity of the existing gas system and cathodic protection system. The evaluation will include an analysis of continuance of the existing low pressure delivery system versus a high pressure system. The contractor will develop an analysis model for determining the profitability of delivery of gas, interim uses of the existing system as well as the operation and distribution of gas through the future system. Telecommunications The contractor will audit and evaluate the condition and capacity of' the existing and future telecommunications systems. The specific areas to be addressed are the frame, outside plant cable, conduit.systems, poles and ancillary equipment. Also, the selected contractor should analyze the future need/benefit for fiber optics as a possible revenue source for the City. Existing software will be evaluated for life expectancy in conjunction with current hardware. The contractor will examine trunk limitations, upgrades of private lines to business, transitioning existing end user systems to alternatives that yield increased capacity and revenue, and development of Integrated System Directory Numbers. In addition, the contractor should analyze impacts and validate that the base's contractor will develop a position paper for negotiating for operation and maintenance. The contractor will develop an analysis of revenue sources the telecommunications system presently has and any potential new sources available in the future. B. General/Additional Scope of Work Considerations For the purpose of this study, it is assumed that the mainline distribution systems for all of the utilities (including gas, electric, and telecommunications) will eventually become the property of some entity other than the Marine Corps. In addition, the City's Reuse Plan has identified phased development of a backbone infrastructure utility system intended to serve future uses at the installation. The City has also completed a Community Facilities and Infrastructure Report which examines the potential costs of this new backbone system. The consultant's effort will include analysis of how the utility services will be provided for both interim use of the existing system and development and operation of the future utility system. The consultant's scope of work will more specifically include the following: a. Review of background materials: be Ce (1) Review. of studies and actions 'completed to date (documents, references and adopted work plans, particularly the MCA$ Tustin Reuse Plan and Community Facilities and Infrastructure Report). (2) Definition of the alternate means of conveyance, under the Base Closure and Community Assistance Act, to include negotiated sale, public bid sale, economic development conveyance, public benefit conveyance, and lease Options. Conveyance analysis of available alternatives: (1) A review of which conveyance method works (legally) for a recipient, whether for a utility and or private purveyor, and for the City of Tustin (as the LRA). (2) Analysis of the benefits, to the public, the City of Tustin and any potential utility operator. (3) A detailing of the "pro and con" for each of the conveyance alternatives including what impact there would be on existing staff and equipment (i.e. how many additional personnel will be needed and how much equipment would be required). Review of asset and future capital needs' evaluation for each utility: (1) Examine the information in the Community Facilities and Infrastructure Report and reevaluate and update the existing facility inventory listing with its present work value. (2) Analyze the capacity commitments (primarily to Marine Corps) both now, during the base's interim use and into the future. de (3) Validate and determine the expansion requirements of the utility facilities in order to serve the city's Reuse Plan (with indication as appropriate of phased increases) . A negotiation strategy review: (1) Addressing the needs of the Marine Corps. (2) Addressing the needs of the City of Tustin. (3) Addressing the needs of others. (4) Position of the City of Tustin to meet each of these needs. Se Preparation of the application/proposal for presentation to federal offices: (1) Assistance in preparing conveyance. actual application for (2) Drafting of the agreements necessary to insure city of Tustin and Marine Corps concurrence. (3) Drafting the written documents for the actual-submittal. It will be the consultant's responsibility to meet with representatives of the City, Marine Corps as well as the various potential utility purveyors. The consultant will prepare for review by the City, documentation of the information provided, the issues indicated as being important, and the projected best solution as viewed by the various purveyors and agency representatives. 'As the Marine Corps has indicated a desire for early release of the existing utility system, the effOrts by the consultant will have to be expedited. It should be noted that the utility systems at MCAS, Tustin are of substantial importance both to the continuing military presence at MCAS, Tustin as well as to the community at large as it considers redevelopment and reuse of those lands being declared surplus to the military need. The ability to provide a service as well as to fund the management of these utilities and the financial requirements of the city of Tustin that will administrate them, is of concern to both the Marine Corps and the City. The methods of conveyance will have a direct effect on these goals and therefore this study's successful conclusion is of particular importance to the Marine Corps and city. of Tustin. In summary, the issues to be resolved as part of this proposed project are as follows: . · What is the best way to convey the utilities to a new purveyor of service to insure the best and the most reasonable priced services are maintained? · What method of conveyance would best facilitate the needs of both the military as well as the proposed reuse for the surplused lands? · e~ WhiCh method of conveyance would best facilitate the development and redevelopment of the potential lands as identified under the preferred land use pattern? How can the City of Tustin assure continued financial viability by arranging for the most efficient and useful means of conveyance of the utilities, considering both short-term and long-term goals. · Identify all reasonable alternatives for a management structure, including but not limited to: 1) allowing the local franchise utility to take over the system; or 2) having the City of Tustin own, control and manage the system, or; 3) some combination of joint ownership/control between the City of Tustin and a contractor/provider. All alternatives should discuss the legal/organizational feasibility, costs, benefits, and risks which should be quantified to the extent possible, including ranges of estimates where appropriate. Categories of cost should include: Up-front set-up costs, for LRA-controlled alternatives Ongoing operating costs identified on an annual basis Power (or gas) supply acquisition costs Costs to involve 3rd parties (i.e. management contract) Infrastructure costs (within the Infrastructure and Community Facilities Plan document available from the City). Competitive transition charges required in early years to offset existing utility company investments in supply system. Categories of benefits should include: Delivered price of energy, for property tenants Long-term stability of'price Long-term security of supply ' Quick resolution of utility supply situation, to ease tenant disquiet and facilitate reuse Revenues (profit) anticipated to be available to the City of Tustin Ce De Categories of risk should include: Legal/liabilities rights and responsibilities of the LRA- managed entity Regulatory - Certificate to operate, safety violations, etc. Supply security, and price stability Cost stability, energy supply, other costs? Increase or Decrease in customer base long-term Meetings The project is a not-to-exceed contract. Within the budget amount agreed upon within this contract, it is anticipated that the consultant will attend one (1) staff level meeting to discuss the Draft Utility Study for MCAS Tustin at no additional cost to the City of Tustin. In addition, it is anticipated that the consultant will need to meet with members of the Utility providers, City staff and the military in gathering data to prepare the desired report, also at no additional cost to the city. In the event that the City of Tustin desires to negotiate with either the utility companies or the military, it may request meeting attendance by the consultant with time and materials to be compensated as indicated within the consultant~ proposal (See Exhibit C). Product With the support of City of Tustin staff, prepare a draft report describing the purpose of the report, the methodology used, the data collected, and discussing the issues noted within the scope of work as well as the results concluded by the consultant. The Consultant will respond and revise the document for all corrections identified by the City and shall provide the City with a final report within ten (10) days of provision of the corrections by the City. Five (5) draft and five (5) final reports along with one (1) reproducible original copy will be provided by the consultant to the City as specified herein.

Those options' explored should include those primarily identified in AB 1890: Do nothing or "status quo" - stay with existing Investor Owned Utility (IOU) which is Southern California Edison with possibility that pricing would be a result of a "pool arrangement", from the Power Exchange (PX) Aggregate - combine loads and/or buy through the PX, other suppliers and/or existing utility company · Direct access - buy from a choice of generation suppliers Consideration of various aggregation possibilities could include but not be limited to servicing the following existing electrical needs within the community: 1. City of Tustin uses (street lighting, traffic signals, . and other public facilities); 2. Industrial, commercial or corporate uses; 3. Residential uses; 4. Any combination of the abov.e that would~ result in a positive economic benefit being derived to the city of Tustin, its citizens, its business community, or any combination of the above. Exhibit "B" Page 2 2. In evaluating options, the Consultant shall: a. Obtain, review and analyze existing electrical utility service records and typical load profiles in order to draw conclusions and provide recommendations which would assist the City of Tustin to plan to service the community's long-term electrical needs. If the existing utility refuses to provide data or records, then other typical load data for similar cities and population would be utilized. 0 Define specific needs or services desired by City c. Assess other examples or case studies d. Examine the savings and costs 3. In the case of the aggregation option: a · Are there other agencies that could be courted to join? 1. build group load size 2. find complementary load profiles b. Is there a potential for SCE providing lower pricing and/or possibility for contractually agreeing to pricing and renegotiating its franchise agreement with the City? 4. In the case of direct access a® be What would be process for soliciting and evaluating bids? Who are the known reliable sources? 5. In reviewing all optiOns and providing specific recommendations, the consultant will need to meet with the existing Investor Owned Utility and may need to also meet and obtain input from the military.

Name of Company Resource Management International, Inc. (RMI) P. O. Box 15516 Sacramento, CA 95852-1516 (916) 852-1300 b. Background of the Project Manager Mr. John S. Forman will be the Project Manager. A biography of Mr. Forman is included in Section 3, a_nd a resume in Section 6. c. RMI Brochures An RMI brochure is included at the end of this section. d. Time Frame A schedule of the anticipated work efforts is included in Section 8. e. Questions The following answers are provided to the questions contained in the RFP. ELECTRICAL QUESTIONS How will the firn~, determine the integrity of the electrical system? RMI will obtain a copy of and will review the preliminary engineering analysis of system plan. After the plan is. well in mind, RMI personnel will perform a preliminary field review of the electrical facilities for compliance with California Codes G.O. 95 and 128. It is anticipated that the facilities will be similar to other military base facilities that have been reviewed by RMI, and will not be constructed in all cases in accordance with the codes. RMI will review the facilities for serviceability for both present and future use in accordance with the Reuse plan. Records will be sought from the Marine Corps and 4-1 ' RMI RESPONSE TO THE RFP Southern C-~lit%mia Edison Company .relating to outages and trouble reports on the system. Maintenance records of system facilities will also be requested. Those staff members responsible for the existing system will be interviewed to obtain their first hand opinion regarding the condition of the system facilities. An analysis will be made of the materials obtained, the interviews held, and a profile of the systems will be prepared. How is the capacity of the electrical system estimated? How can this capacity be met? A computer model of the system can be developed based on records of the facilities installed as part of the electrical equipment. The model is then run through various contingencies, outages, and profiles to determine the capability of the system to perform to serve the load. The capacity of the system is then available to serve the load as it occurs. If new loads are to be added to the system, the model can be used to determine the capability to serve the new as well as the existing loads. If the system needs to be modified to properly and reliably serve the new load, a plan and design along with the needed modifications are developed and completed to provide adequate facilities to serve all loads. How large is the present demand? The present electrical demand has not been listed in the Reuse plan. To obtain this quantity, meter data will be requested from SCE for 'th~ primary meters at the four substations (Chestnut, Bryan, Estrella, and Joharma), and the five connection points noted in the Reuse Plan. Data for the current year along with three previous years will be requested. In addition, monthly bills from SCE to the Marine Corps will be requested from the Corps. The data obtained will be placed in a spreadsheet and an analysis made to develop a curve for a typical annual monthly demand. In addition to the peak monthly demand, monthly energy requirements and load factors will be developed from the data. How will the firm develop an analysis or model for determining growth at the electrical system and manage in a cost effective manner? Based on the development included in the Reuse plan, a spreadsheet model for the capacity and energy usage will be designed for future 4-2 . o RMI RESPONSE TO THE RFP loads. The historical usage will already be included in the spreadsheet as a baseline. As the loads actually develop, the model will be adjusted to meet actual conditions.' Out year modification and construction plans will be developed based on projections which will be fit to actual development progress. In this manner, no facilities will be modified or constructed to far in advance of their actual need. How will the firm analyze the ability and cost effectiveness of the City to purchase megawatts of power without wheeling through transformers? A Power Supply RFP could be developed based on the power and energy supply projections developed in the modal. In addition, it is believed that the City can possibly obtain, power from the Western Area Power Administration if it was to create a municipal electric utility that owned the old Marine Corps facilities. It would then qualify as a preference customer, and thus be eligible to apply for NDA act power that is available from Western. Since the power is available . from a source other than SCE, there may be a facility use charge (or wheeling) by SCE for the use of its facilities to get to the base. Detailed investigations of alternate sources for and delivery of the power to the base will be required2 One way to avoid wheeling charges through the transformers is to own the transformers. Part of the efforts to transfer facilities to the City will be a careful review of the substations and transformers used to serve the base load. How will the City capitalize on delivery of product to future customers? Identify thresholds? Should the City become a municipal electric utility, it can purchase power at a bulk rate, perhaps from Western at a rate substantially better than that from SCE. If this were to occur, the City could then mark it up to cover its cos.ts and obligations, sell it to the customers on the base, and utilize the revenues to pay its various obligations. Many municipal utilities in California transfer substantial revenues into the City coffers to pay.for City expenses. If Tustin were to become a new mtmicipal electric utility, it may be able to take advantage of this opportunity. 4-3 ' RMI RESPONSE TO THE RFP How will the firm capitalize on combining the existing electrical power system with existing systems from other civilian entities? RMI will review the electric operations of entities surrounding Tustin. RMI is aware that Anaheim, Azusa, Burbank, Glendale, Los AngeIes, Pasadena, Vernon, and Metropolitan Water District all operate electric systems. While they may not directly abut the MCAS, Tustin, there may be interest in serving the base from one of these entities. Of course, SCE is the serving utility at the present, and it is likely to be a prime candidate to serve the area should the City elect not to take over the utility system on the base for municipal operation. NATURAL GAS QUESTIONS How will the firm determine the integ~qty of the gas and cathodic protection system? The initial review of the integrity of the gas system will be developed from field review of the visible system, examination of maintenance and operating records and examination of records concerning gas purchases and u~t-JliT.,~tion. The latter will be used to determine ff excessive leakage is apparent. Based on this preliminary assessment, additional field investigations maybe recommended. These field investigations may include vegetation surveys, pressure drop analysis, leakage surveys or other testing programs. These detailed inspections are not included in the scope of work herein. The cathodic protection system will be evaluated through several methods. These methods will include examining leak records to determine if areas Where cathodic protection systems have failed are apparent, examination of operating records to determine equipment failure rates and the anode replacement rates. The system design records and parameters will be examined. If these examination indicate additional analysis is' necessary, a field testing program will be recommended to measure earth resistivity, the potential for cathodic protection interference and the electrical operating characteristics of the system. 4-4 RMI RESPONSE TO THE RFP How will the firm model or analyze profitability of the gas system?. RMI recommends a phased approach to the analysis of the profitability of the existing gas system. The following activities will be utilized to identify and assess the critical elements involved in the acquisition of this system: Existing System Assessment Based on review of publicly available records and visual onsite inspections, the ability of the existing system to serve current and future customers will be evaluated. Typical above-ground fa~lities will be observed to obtain an understanding of standard system components and age and condition of equipment. Market Analysis The potential market for gas services will be assessed by examining available information on current and past uses, and assessing the customer mix and opportunities to expand service into new facilities. Gas SuppIy Opportunities for gas supply will be explored. This work will rely on RMI's extensive knowledge of U.S. and Canadian gas supply basins, production costs, and pricing. Pipeline capacities, transportation charges, and potential suppliers of gas will be considered in projecting the cost of gas. delivered to the base. Gas System Acquisition Costs Using available maps of existing facilities and data compiled through inspection, a preliminary estimate of the installed cost of the existing facilities will be prepared. Available information on development plans will be utilized to estimate the average age of the existing utility facilities from which a current '"oook value" would be projected. A range of system values would be prepared to allow evaluation of acquisition feasibility over a range of expected purchase costs. Additional costs associated with the final acquisition activity will be estimated to develop a total facility value. Gas System Operations Projections of annual operation and maintenance costs will be developed based on estimates of staff, facility, and equipment requirements to operate the system. Consideration will be given to the potential to integrate gas system operations with other utility 4-5 RMI RESPONSE TO THE RFP operations. The cost to extend the system to serve additional loads identified in the market analysis will also be estimated. Tustin Cost of Service Forecast Using information developed in the previous tasks, a preliminary cost of service will be estimated. Prelimin~ rates for individual customer classes will be computed to facilitate comparisons with the current rates. A report including the results of these gas system activities will be prepared and forwarded to Tustin representatives for decision making purposes. TELECOMMUNICATIONS QUESTIONS How will the firm determine the integrity and life expectancy of the telecommunications system? An inventory of the existing systems will be required, as well as field exhmination of the installation and maintenance methods and practices used during the life of the equipment. Comparisons of the age and physical state of the equipment found will be made with other similar installations in RMI's experience to determine reasonable expectations of projected service life. The systems will be examined for reliability and availability, as well as for potential future Pailures, to allow an assessment of the current and projected integrity of their performance. How will the firm evaluate capacity of the system based on physical limitations of hardware and soft'ware fIex~'bility? The inventory of the existing systems will provide an accurate record of the number and sizes of installed cables, number and configurations of installed telecommunication devices, and an assessment of the available space and room for expansion within the existing systems and telecommunication spaces. Discuss how the City can capitalize on different end user systems available today and in the future? A number of new markets for telecommunication services and capacities are opening based on recent legislation. Based On the level of involvement in providing new services or access, the City may use 4-6 2_ . , RMI RESPONSE TO THE RFP existing systems or install new systems to provide, control, monitor, track, or maintain its current or new customer use of its telecommunication 'offerings.

Once highly regulated, it is evolving into a dynamic and increas- ingly complex business underscored by heightened competi- tive pressures and new and sophisticated technologies. Independent generators are playing a greater role in supplying the world's power needs. Customer demands are changing, and some utility infrastructure is aging, necessitat- ing a growth in capital improvement programs. At tile same time, growing competition in tile wholesale market and the move toward retail wheeling, increased transmission access, and the greater range of demand and supply options are dramatically impacting the industry's planning and operat- ing environment. RMI has long been in the forefront of assisting the elec- tric utility industry in successfully anticipating and respond- ing to the demands of a changing environment. Throt, gh the ),ears, we have provided hundreds of utility companies and affiliated organizations throughout the United States and abroad with a wide range of management and technical services. Our approach is unique, combining state-of-the-art economic, market and business strategies with specialized engineering, environmental and regulatory expertise. .. .~.... ,....~....

FERC Order 636 represents the final step in the industry's decade-long journey to restructuring, symbolizing a new era of competi- tive pricing and open access to transportation capacity. In addition, the industry today is dominated by a sustainable supply of gas to serve increased demand, coupled with new pipeline expansions and the growth of gas-fired electrical generation. The changes in the natural gas industry over the past decade have been phenomenal, impacting the ways in which gas is produced, transported, marketed and ultimately consumed. RMI's team of professionals is experienced in all aspects of natural gas services, from the reservoir down the gas transportation and marketing chain, to the burner tip of the end-user. We specialize in strategies to help industry players adapt to dynamic changes affecting their markets and products--for both the short and long term. Our integrated services include fuel plan design, analysis of tariff design, contracting for gas supplies ~nd transportation, financing gas acquisitions, development of gas reserves and regulatory management. And because of our experience in power pool- ing for the electric utility industry, we have transferred that experience to gas resource pooling. ..'.~;~ -... :.. · ~.:' '. . ;.. · ._ ~'<..:.

Water utilities must now cgmpete in an environment shaped by limitecl access to new water supplies, combined with escalating, user fees and rates, growing operation and maintenance costs, and an aging, often outmoded infrastructure. At the same time, the Safe Drinking \.Va,er Act and the Clean Water Act are impos- ing ever-greater regulatory requirements. RMI has a proven track record of helping water utilities restructure their operations, pursue new alliances and' build consensus among parties in competition for the same resource. We help clients develop or acquire additional resources. And we help them take advantage of new water management strategies and the evolving legal and regulatory environment. Our approach to water resource planning and develop- men, integrates the analyses of hydrologic, water quality and ecological factors, with sound engineering, design, economic principles and regulatory complianc~. Just as importantly, we are aware of the political and social sensitivities that slml)e ~' water policy. As pioneers in water planning, we consider traditiona! supply options, as well as innovative ground water banking and transfer programs. We are also experienced in surface and subsurface supplies, water rights, drainage, flood hydrology, multipurpose reservoirs, and conjunctive use of surface and ground water. ... :.i-.:' '"-: ":' '-:"'. ., g;,.~'.~.'.::.'~:.:~..: :.

Long Island Power Authority Electric and Gas Utility Acquisition and Restructuring Evaluation RMI served as the engineering and electric system consultant to the Long Island Power Authority (LIPA) to evaluate new and innovative means, through a combination of acquisition and restructuring of the Long Island Lighting Company (LILCO) combined electric and gas utility to reduce the cost of electric service to Long Island utility customers. Established by New York state law, LIPA was created in 1986 and granted authority to acquire LILCO if it could show such acquisition and decommissioning would result in lower electric and gas rates on Long Island. LILCO retail rates have risen by over 30 percent, resulting in the highest retail electric rates in the continental U.S. In 1995, LIPA was commissioned to_ undertake a new evaluation of reasonable alternatives for lowering electric rates through restructuring and acquiring certain LILCO assets. LIPA assembled a team of financial, legal and engineering specialists, including RMI, to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of plans to accomplish the desired rate savings. As specialists in the planning, evaluation, and engineering services for electric utility systems, RMI was responsible for: (1) evaluating the 4,000 MW peak.load electric and gas system contributions to the Long Island utility revenue requirements; (2) determixting the reasonableness of existing electric load forecasts for Long Island; (3) evaluating the power resource.requirements to serve the island's electrical load requirements customers for a selected planning period; (4) estimating the potential for reducing power supply costs through alternative supply strategies; (5) estimating the value of existing LILCO assets for purchase, sale, lease or other disposition; (6) evaluating the opportunities and constraints of delivery of power from off-island sources based upon the existing transmission and system operation requirements; (7) evaluating the separate dontributions of LILCO's generation, transmission and distribution assets to revenue 5-1 RELATED EXPERIENCE requirements; (8) conducting revenue requirements projections, and studies of the rate influences of different asset acquisition and divestiture scenarios; and (9) reviewing alternative LILCO restructuring concepts and performing a qualitative analysis of the relative rate and service impacts of those alternative concepts. Based on the evaluation of the team, five months after commencement of the effort, following numerous public hearings, community group Presentations, press conferences, and legislative hearings, the LIPA Board of Trustees voted to authorize negotiation with LILCO on a plan estimated to provide a minimum 12 percent annhal savings in electric rates, with a corresponding savings of over $300 million annually to' ratepayers. Kerrville, Texas Analysis and Negotiations of Electric Distribution System Acquisition RMI was retained by the city of Kerrville, Texas, to support the city's acquisition of a 175-square mile electric service area along the Colorado River.' Owned by the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA), the electric distribution facilities served retail electric customers in the city of Kerrville and surrounding area. RMI was authorized by the city to prepare a multiphase approach to acquiring the retail facilities of LCRA, beginning with a detailed system engineering analysis to identify areas for improvement RMI also prepared a system valuation and purchase offer to LCRA, reviewed staffing requirements, conducted an econometric load forecast and rate comparison study, and provided recommenctations for incorporating the operations, maintenance, and adminis~tive functions of the electrical system into the city's organizational structure. During the second and third phases of the assignment, R.MI assisted the city in negotiating the purchase of the distribution system, in developing a transition plan, in preparing a consultant's report to support the finandng, and in meetings with bond rating agendes. The city issued revenue bonds to acquire the system and began utility operations with RMI's support in 1987. 5-2 RELATED EXPERIENCE RMIUS is presently operating and maintaining the City of Vernon electric system Needles~ California Electric Utility Staffing RMI Utility Services (RMIUS), a subsidiary of RMI, was retained by the city of Needles, California to help facilitate the successful transition of the city's electric service department to munidpal operations. The city owns a transmission and distribution system which had been operated by CP National. RMIUS was asked to evaluate alternatives for operating and managing the electric utility department and, based on the assessment, present our recommendations to a citizens committee and the city council for their review. RMIUS was also requested to provide interim management of the city's electric service department during the transition period. RMIUS helped recruit a utility director and staff, design an office and yard facility, purchase fixrni~e, equipment and vehicles, manage the planning and start-up of a new customer billing system, and develop operating procedures and a system rehabilitation. Program. Vernon, California Daily Operations and. Maintenance of Municipal Electric Utility System The city of Vernon, Calffo~, contracted with RMI Utility Services, (RMIUS), a subsidiary of RMI, in 1989 to provide operation and maintenance support services for its municipal electric utility department. The assignment began with an organizational review of the city's transmission and distribution operations. Based on the review, RMIUS prepared a staffing plan, an annual operations budget, a capital additions budget and a system upgrade plan, as well as a spare parts policy, inventory control and job order systems, operating procedures and preventive maintenance plans. RMIUS staffs the operations with a division manager, service planner, line foreman, two troubleshooters, six linemen, three meter technidans, three substation electricians and clerical staff - all supported by RMI's engineering and management expertise as needed. The utility staff provides reliability assessments, inventory monitoring, and metering installation, repair, reading and testing. While the line crews are responsible for switching, troubleshooting, repairs and minor additions, subcontractors are retained for all major system additions. Since RMIUS assumed the management contract with Vernon, the dty's 5~3 ' - RELATED EXPERIENCE RMI is performing design services for the CSU system at multiple campuses electrical service reliability has increased and its O&M costs have decreased.
