Box 190869 Anchorage, AK 99519-0869 ATTN: Brent Petrie REFERENCE: Quinhagak Line Agreement Dear Brent: The proposed agreement appears to ignore the problem that the overhead line at Quinhagak is not completed in the sense that not all of the service entrances have been converted to accept an overhead service drop nor have all the service extensions and other required connections and jumpers been completed. This problem needs to be addressed in the agreement. It seems like this would be in the best interest of the village since all of the residential consumers should have an overhead service upon completion of the project. The second major problem is the intent of the agreement to not have the contractor complete the actual connection of the overhead system to each service and to disconnect the URD system. This must be done to insure a smooth transition and a verification of the quality of work. AVEC requests a procedure whereby the contractor would disconnect each incoming URD service and connect each overhead service. A load would thereby be applied to the system and would give some indication that all connections have been made up properly. It is not clear why a 14 day time period is required between completion of the project and transfer of temporary ownership. It seems that both parties would agree that far too much time has already transpired and there is no need to wait another two weeks after the project has been completed. Therefore, it is proposed that the transfer of temporary ownership be made immediately upon completion of the project. In order for AVEC to continue to receive REA loan funds for future service extensions and upgrades that might be required over the next twenty years, it is necessary that these mortgaged facilities remain the property of AVEC until such time the loan amount is retired and an acceptable sales agreement is reached. These facilities cannot be limited to just poles or primary assemblies. Appropriate language has been added to address this requirement. Mr. Brent Petrie March 3, 1988 Page 2 It is also felt that the temporary ownership agreement is much more palatable to REA and is actually in the best interest of the village in terms of liability and for this reason will be the only format to be considered. Finally, it is not clear what will take place in the event that a final design is approved by both the village and AVEC, that it jis put out to bid, and the lowest acceptable bid exceeds the funds available. It is felt that something should be added to the agreement to address this contingency. Attached is a list of required clauses or changes. Sincerely yours, Mark E. Teitzel Assistant General Manager Mr. Brent Petrie March 3, 1988 Page 3 Required Clauses or Changes under Section A: 1. Perform a detailed review and inspection of the existing site conditions and perform all necessary final engineering design for the completion of the overhead distribution system so that all residential consumers will have an overhead service upon completion of the project. 2. Secure the approval of the other parties for the designs to upgrade and complete the existing overhead distribution system before soliciting bids. 3. Contract with the successful bidder for the upgrade of the previously installed overhead primary distribution system to meet REA specifications in accordance with the final design for this task as produced by the Power Authority and approved by the other parties to this Project Agreement. 4. Contract with the successful bidder for the overhead primary distribution system in accordance with the final design for this task as produced by the Power Authority and approved by the other parties to this Project Agreement. $: Prior to releasing the contractor from the Project, assure that the Project has been energized for at least 72 hours. 6. Provide a full accounting for the full amount of state grant funds associated with this project. Required Clauses or Changes under Section B: 1. Upon acceptance of this agreement, agree to transfer temporary ownership of the entire system to AVEC immediately upon completion of the project which will occur after each residential consumer in Quinhagak has satifactorily received electrical service for a minimum of 72 hours from an overhead system meeting REA specifications. 2. Provide written approval of the final design within 14 calendar days after comments and suggestions have either been incorporated into the design or addressed in an acceptable manner. ae Prior to expiration of this agreement, retire the debt owed to REA for distribution facilities added to the overhead distribution system with REA loan funds after transfer of temporary ownership. Required Clauses or Changes under Section C: 1. Provide written approval of the final design within 14 calendar days after comments and suggestions have either been incorporated into the design or addressed in an acceptable manner. 2. Upon acceptance of this agreement, agree to accept temporary ownership of the entire system immediately upon completion of the project which will occur after each residential consumer in Quinhagak has satisfactorily received electrical service for a minimum of 72 hours from an overhead system meeting REA specifications. Mr. Brent Petrie March 3, 1988 Page 4 3. Maintain accurate records of all distribution facilities added with REA load funds after the acceptance of temporary ownership of the overhead distribution system financed by Alaska State grant funds. Continue to own all distribution facilities installed with REA loan funds both prior to and following acceptance of temporary ownership of the overhead distribution system financed by Alaska State Grant Funds. Prior to expiration of the agreement, provide the city with records showing what distribution facilities have been installed with REA loan funds since acceptance of temporary ownership of the overhead distribution system financed by Alaska State Grant Funds and the outstanding loan balance. Required Clauses or Changes under Section D: 1. 2. All project meetings following acceptance of this agreement will be held in Quinhagak unless a different location can be mutually agreed upon. It is agreed by the parties to this agreement that any facilities which are installed by AVEC using REA loan funds shall remain the property of AVEC until such time that the debt is retired. This will include the meters at time of transfer and will not be limited in any way. It shall be made known to the Alaska Public Utilities Commission that prior to June 26, 2009, the temporary ownership of that portion of the distribu- tion system in Quinhagak financed by state grant funds shall automatically be transferred to that entity, which holds the Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for the distribution and sale of power in Quinhagak. Consequently, AVEC's temporary ownership of that portion of the distribution system in Quinhagak financed by state grant funds shall not adversely affect the City's effort to obtain, through legal means, a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for the distribution and sale of power in Quinhagak. Effective at the end of June 26, 2009, AVEC's temporary ownership of that portion of the distribution system in Quinhagak financed by state grant funds is automatically terminated. That portion of the distribution system in Quinhagak owned by AVEC prior to acceptance of this agreement and that portion of the distribution system in Quinhagak installed after acceptance of this agreement with REA loan funds will remain the ownership of AVEC until such time as the REA debt is retired and an acceptable sale agreement is executed.

Please find below our response to these comments: a. Page 1, First Paragraph: In the very early stages of this project, Power Authority staff outlined to your staff the procedures which would be followed in order to try to final this project. As part of the process, Alaska Village Electric Cooperative (AVEC) was requested to provide a very detailed list of all changes and improvements, which would be necessary prior to AVEC's utilization of the system. However, according to Mr. Mark Teitzel of your office, this task would not be performed until AVEC was convinced that this project would actually take place. Consequently, the Power Authority as of this date, has not received a detailed list of changes and improvements requested by AVEC. Depending on the extent of service drop related work to be performed, this work may not be possible within the existing budget. It must be noted that the primary intent of this project is to upgrade the system to meet Rural Electrification Association (REA} specifications, thereby allowing AVEC to utilize the system. b. Page 1, Second Paragraph It remains the opinion of the Power Authority that the actual cut-over from the utilidor system to the overhead system should be the responsibility of the utility. The existing utilidor system is in a state of disrepair and the liability associated with having a 2056/0D32/1 rays c e. Power Authority contractor work on this system does not appear acceptable. Page 1, Third Paragraph A 14-day period has been allowed between project completion and transfer of ownership (provided that a transfer does indeed take place). This was done in order to accommodate normal response times for office transactions. Page 1, Fourth Paragraph City of Quinhagak officials have stated that they desire a fully functioning distribution system immediately following a termination of AVEC's contract with the City of Quinhagak at some future date. Consequently, the City of Quinhagak is not willing to accept any contract language which may later be the subject of time-consuming interpretation. In order to settle this transaction, it is the recommendation of the Power Authority that only additional primary structures constructed at AVEC's expense should remain the property of AVEC in case of a future contract termination. At the time of commencement of AVEC's utilization of the new system, this system will be fully serviceable and consequently, AVEC would be expected to maintain the system in serviceable condition. Page 2, First Paragraph The City of Quinhagak has expressed strong reservations concerning the acceptance of a temporary transfer of ownership. At the City's request, two versions of this Project Agreement have been devel- oped, one covering a temporary transfer of ownership and one covering a temporary lease of the system. Page 2, Second Paragraph Language will be added to the agreement detailing the return of the funds to the General Fund in case insufficient funds are available. Responses to numbered comments: Section A: 1-5: As previously stated, the Power Authority will upgrade the existing system to REA specifications in accordance with a design provided and certified by an independent engineer on contract to the Power Authority. As mentioned above, AVEC has yet to provide a detailed list of changes and improvements requested. Once this list has been received, the changes and improvements requested will be incorporated to the extent that they are directly related to 2056/DD32/2 rays v compliance with REA specifications and to the extent that they are within current budget. 6: In accordance with Alaska Statutes, State agencies will provide specific information on request. Section B: 1-3: These issues have been addressed in previous sections. Section C: 1: We agree. 2-5: As previously addressed, a detailed accounting of ownership for minor items does not appear to promote an orderly transition in case of future termination of AVEC's contract with the City of Quinhagak. While it will be reasonable for AVEC to maintain ownership of AVEC-installed structures and maybe even new trans-~ formers, this is not the case for minor hardware or service drops from existing structures. Section D: 1. We agree. 2. See response to Section 8 comments. a. See response to Section B comments. General: It is the intent of the Power Authority to develop a reasonable Project Agreement which is simple to interpret and enforce. Consequently, the Power Authority will continue to encourage the parties to show a great deal of flexibility in order to resolve all differences and put the system into use.

LeResche Executive Director Alaska Power Authority Per your request, the following comments are provided regarding HB29. Section 150 - Change in Language of Railbelt Alternatives Study Appro- priation The Alaska Power Authority does not object to this change. Section 151 - $2,700,000 Reappropriation from Power Development Revolv- ing Loan Fund to Power Project Fund for Loan to City of Nenana The City of Nenana intends to provide detailed information regarding the cost, schedule and conduct of a feasibility study in the form of a loan application to the Power Authority. While this amount was not in the Governor's budget request, the Power Project Fund statute 44.83.170(b)(1)(a) does contemplate loans to municipalities to conduct feasibility studies. The Power Authority has received some preliminary information on the proposed project and would like to know an answer as to the feasibility of a coal-fired power plant at Nenana. During the Susitna Hydroelectric Project feasibility and licensing efforts, Nenana was considered to be one of the sites with favorable characteristics for development of a coal fired power plant. Given the economics and financial parameters in use in the early 1980's detailed feasibility of that option was not pursued since other alternatives seemed more favor- able in the long term at the time. However, financial and economic conditions have changed significantly in the past several years and coal fired options warrant additional consideration. However, there may be a problem with availability of sufficient funds to cover a $2.7 million loan. HB75, Section 17, line 24 appropriated $5,805,600 from the Power Development Revolving Loan Fund to the General Fund. If this appropriation has precedence over the $2,700,000 reappro- priation in HB29 (and we understand there may be some question as to whether it does), the following is an estimate of when funds would be avai japle to cover the $2,700,000 (see Exhibit A for detailed informa- tion): September 1987 $ 323,375 August 1988 560,000 September 1988 1,816,625 $2,700,000 9652/DD24(1) Guy Bell, Seni Analyst July 16, 1987 Page 2 Section 158, Page 42, Line 6 - $152,000 for Quinhagak Electrification Project Completion The City of Quinhagak received a State grant of $440,000 several years ago to build an overhead distribution system. There is some question as to whether the City should have received the grant since AVEC is the local certified utility; however, there were problems with AVEC's underground distribution system. Unfortunately the City's system was not constructed to REA specifications and it cannot be operated. Although the City's system is a duplication of AVEC's system, problems do exist with the AVEC system. The $152,000 in HB29 should bring the City's overhead distribution system up to REA specifications. It appears from discussions with AVEC and the City of Quinhagak staff members, that both parties are anxious to reach some sort of reasonable agreement concerning AVEC's use of the new distribution system. Both parties appear to realize that the length and the severity of the ongoing problems have seriously reduced the potential for the two parties coming to an agreement without the help of a mediator such as the Alaska Power Authority. The Power Authority is willing to accept such a role. If an agreement between the two parties cannot be reached, the Power Authority would then probably recommend that the funding be lapsed. Section 158, Page 59, Line 10 - $46,000 Grant to the City of Seward for Camelot Subdivision Electrical Line The Camelot subdivision electrical line is in need of replacement because the existing line is in very bad shape and is substandard. The existing line is also inadequate in terms of not providing service to the entire subdivision.

Please note that these are drafts only which have been sent to the City of Quinhagak and Alaska Village Electric Cooperative (AVEC) concurrently. The drafts represent what I believe could be the basis for a future agreement based on my conversations with the parties. Please do not hesitate to suggest changes, additions, deletions, or anything else which you may want in the final Project Agreement. I have discussed both agreements with AVEC's management and it appears that AVEC has very strong reservations about the lease version while the tem- porary ownership transfer versions appears to be acceptable to AVEC. I quite frankly do not believe that the lease version would provide the City any more benefits than the temporary ownership transfer version. On the contrary, there is a potential that the lease version would subject the City to more liability in case of an accident involving the system. Consequently, I would recommend that the City give serious consideration to the temporary transfer of ownership version.

Please note that a change proposed during our last meeting was requested reversed by the Quinhagak City Council. This change provided for a 7 day review period for the final design; however, in spite of a desire to expedite the process, the council did not feel that it would be capable of responding in 7 days. Consequently, a 14 day review period was requested. Special attention in the ownership version should be paid to Section B, Article 3, Section C, Articles 3 and 13, and Section D, Article 7. In the lease version changes have been made to Section B, Article 3, Section C, Articles 3 and 14, and Section D, Article 7.

Box 190869 Anchorage, AK 99519-0869 ATTN: Brent Petrie REFERENCE: Quinhagak Line Agreement Dear Brent: The proposed agreement appears to ignore the problem that the overhead line at Quinhagak is not completed in the sense that not all of the service entrances have been converted to accept an overhead service drop nor have all the service extensions and other required connections and jumpers been completed. This problem needs to be addressed in the agreement. It seems like this would be in the best interest of the village since all of the residential consumers should have an overhead service upon completion of the project. The second major problem is the intent of the agreement to not have the contractor complete the actual connection of the overhead system to each service and to disconnect the URD system. This must be done to insure a smooth transition and a verification of the quality of work. AVEC requests a procedure whereby the contractor would disconnect each incoming URD service and connect each overhead service. A load would thereby be applied to the system and would give some indication that all connections have been made up properly. It is not clear why a 14 day time period is required between completion of the project and transfer of temporary ownership. It seems that both parties would agree that far too much time has already transpired and there is no need to wait another two weeks after the project has been completed. Therefore, it is proposed that the transfer of temporary ownership be made immediately upon completion of the project. In order for AVEC to continue to receive REA loan funds for future service extensions and upgrades that might be required over the next twenty years, it is necessary that these mortgaged facilities remain the property of AVEC until such time the loan amount is retired and an acceptable sales agreement is reached. These facilities cannot be limited to just poles or primary assemblies. Appropriate language has been added to address this requirement. Mr. Brent Petrie March 3, 1988 Page 2 It is also felt that the temporary ownership agreement is much more palatable to REA and is actually in the best interest of the village in terms of liability and for this reason will be the only format to be considered. Finally, it is not clear what will take place in the event that a final design is approved by both the village and AVEC, that it is put out to bid, and the lowest acceptable bid exceeds the funds available. It is felt that something should be added to the agreement to address this contingency. Attached is a list of required clauses or changes. Sincerely yours, Mak & Suds Mark E.

Upon acceptance of this agreement, agree to accept temporary ownership of the entire system immediately upon completion of the project which will occur after each residential consumer in Quinhagak has satisfactorily received electrical service for a minimum of 72 hours from an overhead system meeting REA specifications. Mr. Brent Petrie March 3, 1988 Page 4 3. Maintain accurate records of all distribution facilities added with REA load funds after the acceptance of temporary ownership of the overhead distribution system financed by Alaska State grant funds. Continue to own all distribution facilities installed with REA loan funds both prior to and following acceptance of temporary ownership of the overhead distribution system financed by Alaska State Grant Funds. Prior to expiration of the agreement, provide the city with records showing what distribution facilities have been installed with REA loan funds since acceptance of temporary ownership of the overhead distribution system financed by Alaska State Grant Funds and the outstanding loan balance. Required Clauses or Changes under Section D: 1. 2. All project meetings following acceptance of this agreement will be held in Quinhagak unless a different location can be mutually agreed upon. It is agreed by the parties to this agreement that any facilities which are installed by AVEC using REA loan funds shall remain the property of AVEC until such time that the debt is retired. This will include the meters at time of transfer and will not be limited in any way. It shall be made known to the Alaska Public Utilities Commission that prior to June 26, 2009, the temporary ownership of that portion of the distribu- tion system in Quinhagak financed by state grant funds shall automatically be transferred to that entity, which holds the Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for the distribution and sale of power in Quinhagak. Consequently, AVEC's temporary ownership of that portion of the distribution system in Quinhagak financed by state grant funds shall not adversely affect the City's effort to obtain, through legal means, a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for the distribution and sale of power in Quinhagak. Effective at the end of June 26, 2009, AVEC's temporary ownership of that portion of the distribution system in Quinhagak financed by state grant funds is automatically terminated. That portion of the distribution system in Quinhagak owned by AVEC prior to acceptance of this agreement and that portion of the distribution system in Quinhagak installed after acceptance of this agreement with REA loan funds will remain the ownership of AVEC until such time as the REA debt is retired and an acceptable sale agreement is executed.

Box 190869 Anchorage, AK 99519-0869 Re: Quinhagak overhead system Dear Mr. Larson: This is to confirm our telephone conversation of last week during which I advised that the state would not object to a temporary transfer of the ownership of the City of Quinhagak's overhead system to AVEC if such a term was part of the project agreement anticipated to be finalized shortly. For the purposes of the project agreement, and with the goal of the original grant monies being to provide electricity to the residents of Quinhag- ak, the temporary transfer of ownership may be regarded as a long-term lease which will not be violative of the grant agree- ment between the City of Quinhagak and the Department of Adminis- tration. The "project agreement,'' to which I am referring in this letter is the draft agreement, dated September 18, 1987, which was sent to me from Peter N. Hansen. After talking to you, I called Larry Strunk, City Administrator for Quinhagak, and ad- vised him of the state's position. I further informed you and Larry Strunk that this of- fice would not interfere or advise as to other terms in the agreement made between Quinhagak and AVEC, such as Quinhagak's interest in a right-of-first-refusal clause, price to be paid for the temporaray transfer of ownership, or similar terms which are matters to be determined and negotiated by the contracting par- ties. However, I would certainly be available to look over terms which you believe may affect the state's interest in the contract. 03-C5LH Mr. Jerry Larson February 1, 1988 Alaska Power Authority Page #2 Re: Quinhagak overhead system Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need fur- ther assistance in this matter.

The temporary ownership version is still felt to be advanta- geous to all parties involved. Our only concern regarding the latest version involves Section D, Article 4, Declaration of Cooperat ton. The location of the meetings should either alternate between Quinhagak and Anchorage or follow the same schedule as set forth in the lease agreement version rather than being held solely in Quinhagak. If the City can accept this change for the temporary ownership, agreement appears to be suitable for signature. Sincerely yours, Wier 6 SEL Mark E.
