BPMC Minutes 1/25/19 Page 1 of 5
7.NEW BUSINESS
A.Bradley O&M Agreement Update
Chair Borgeson requested Mr.Gibson provide the Bradley O&M agreement update.Mr.Gibson
informed he was overly optimistic about the timing of the settlement at the last meeting.He
continues to be optimistic the few remaining issues can be resolved within the next week or so.
Mr.Gibson will notify the BMPC if an impasse occurs beyond that time period.
Chair Borgeson noted a special telephonic meeting will be scheduled to approve the final
settlement.Members were encouraged to engage their legal staff and managers to ensure a
timely completion of the agreement.
'
Mr.Carey reported one of the procurement issues involves the decision to either award under an
RFP,or award under a sole-source procurement.The decision will be made at the next meeting
to either approve a new O&M contract or extend the current O&M contract.
Mr.Janorschke brought two specific issues to the BPMC's attention.The first one regards the
proposed language the BPMC Chair approves guests and visitors.He noted there has never been
a problem in the past and does not feel the language is necessary.The second issue regards the
language of more than two,but less than four employees.The operational question arises about
safety meetings,foul weather,maintenance projects,trainings,and emergencies.The proposed
language,as he understands it,will result in the addition of another employee.It is important the
BPMC is aware of the proposal and resultant budget repercussions.
Mr.Gibson informed the issues are being addressed and he believes they can be resolved ina
reasonable way that does not confine the operator and provides comfort to the utilities.
Mr.Thibert is aware of the proposals and agreed the BPMC should not be micromanaging.
B.Battle Creek Project Update
Mr.Carey provided the Battle Creek project update.The most recent meeting with the
contractor was last week and the next is scheduled on February 7.The main contracting staff
will arrive in mid-March and will restart the camp with two barges of equipment.The total
contracting staff is expected to double this season.Drilling,excavation,and blasting will begin
in April,and four drills are anticipated to be active by May.The hope is to be at the diversion
site by mid-May.The final completion date of August 2020 is still possible.The project cost is
closely tracking its estimations.
Mr.Carey noted an inquiry arose regarding AEA's management of labor with the project.Mr.
Carey,Kirk Warren,and Betsy McGregor are the only three people at AEA who may direct
charge onto the bonds.In 2018,they totaled 662 hours on Battle Creek.There were 11 trips
taken and they shared 50/50 with Bradley Lake planned work.
BPMC Minutes 1/25/19 Page 2 of 5
Ron Rabinovich of Energy Engineering advised the spring schedule is aggressive.He noted the
weather during the first few weeks may cause delays.
Mr.Thibert asked for an explanation of the timing requirements for contractor change-order
submittals.Mr.Carey stated the change orders submitted to-date have used price estimation
until pricing can be secured.The change orders have been a small percentage of the project.
Some of the change orders have been positive,in terms of reducing the cost of the project.The
contractor will submit a claim for change order amounts at the end of the project.
Chair Borgeson asked if the pipe has been ordered.Mr.Carey understands Orion (contractor)is
visiting a manufacturer in Vancouver this week and expects an order soon.No submittals have
been produced.The pipe pricing risk and pipe delivery risk are borne by the contractor.The
contractor is aware of the Alaska tide schedule and pipe delivery options.Additional
information will be discussed at the next contractor meeting.
Chair Borgeson asked if it is possible to see any claims from the contractor in the third year that
BPMC prevented the completion in two seasons,and thus,the contractor seeks mobilization
from BPMC.Mr.Carey informed that possibility exists and detailed notes have been maintained
regarding the process,if a dispute is necessary.
C.Unit 2 Generator Update
Bob Day of HEA reviewed the provided Generator #2 Report.The overhaul of Unit 2 has
begun.Canyon Hydro will arrive on January 28 and proceed with pulling the rotor.The
schedule within the report is vague and is dependent upon the findings as the work continues.
Mr.Day showed pictures of the disassembly and explained the process and mechanics.
Coincidently,one of the insulators was damaged completely.The timing of this repair is
fortunate and will mitigate any of the potential problems a damaged insulator could have caused.
Mr.Day believes the bolt was too loose and did not have the proper torque,either from the long-
term installation or a poor connection.All the inspection covers were removed and no other
damage was found.Unit 1 will be inspected for insulator damage as soon as possible.Asa
result of this damage,a request for a thermal camera in next year's budget will be submitted.
8.COMMITTEE ASIGNMENTS
A.Budget Subcommittee -Budget to Actual
Jocelyn Garner of AEA reviewed the provided Budget to Actual Expense Report dated July 1,
2018 through November 30,2018.The FY18 portion of the land use refund is $35,289.The
total refund was approximately $86,000,and the remainder will be included in the FY19 report.
The FY18 legal fees were higher than budgeted.Ms.Garner suggested the Committee discuss
raising the budgeted legal fee amount for FY19.
Chair Borgeson asked if the current generator work will be reflected in the R&C fund
disbursements.Ms.Garner agreed and explained the actual expense amounts will come from the
R&C fund and will be listed on the report.There will be no budgeted amount line item for the
BPMC Minutes 1/25/19 Page 3 of 5
work since the expenditures were approved at a BPMC meeting and not through the budgeting
process.
Chair Borgeson requested verification the report shows the amount due to the R&C Fund is
down by about $2 million and is reflected in the amount that has to be paid.Ms.Garner agreed
those numbers reflect the status as of November.The refund was not returned until December.
Mr.Thibert inquired as to the plan regarding the Emerson operating system upgrade.Mr.Day
informed the Emerson replacement was originally scheduled for February,but has been
postponed until April or May because of the current generator outage.
B.Operators Report
Mr.Day reviewed the provided Operator Report and provided updates,where appropriate.The
situation in January has been normal and there is nothing significant to report.The equipment
shed is built.There are only a few items remaining to install when the weather permits.The
contracts with ABB and Canyon Hydro have been completed.The scheduled barge load has
been postponed due to weather.The tire mounting and balance machine is on the barge.The
fish water control automation is on-hold to evaluate and understand the recent data discrepancies.
Mr.Day showeda picture of the new equipment shed,the new ambulance,and the new loader.
Chair Borgeson noted GVEA was unable to have Bradley power dispatched this week.He
inquired as to the reasons for the issues.Mr.Day noted the transmission line is out of service
and will come back online January 27.It will be removed from service again on February 1,for
the CEA outage through April 1.Mr.Day reported the lake levels are about 15 to 20 feet above
average and are expected to increase with the warm,36-degree temperatures.Mr.Day
commented on the issues when Bradley is running at high levels and the potential risk for the
peninsula to go black if Bradley stumbles.
Burke Wick,CEA,commented Bradley is currently 19 feet below spill level.Historically,at this
time of year,there have not been inflows significant enough for spill to be a consideration.
Mr.Day showed a graphic of the lake level chart depicting the historical average levels.Chair
Borgeson requested the additional pictures be provided to BPMC members.
C.O&D Report
Jeff Warner,ML&P,discussed the provided O&D Report,including the scheduled outages
previously mentioned.Mr.Warner encouraged participants to use as much water as
operationally possible because of the high lake levels,currently at 1,139 feet.The FY20 Budget
discussions have begun.Several repair and replacement items were identified from the 2016 D.
Hittle Report and will be brought before the O&D for consideration.Elections for the O&D
Chair and Vice-Chair will occur at the next meeting.
BPMC Minutes 1/25/19 Page 4 of 5
Mr.Izzo requested perspective on additional inflows once Battle Creek diversion is active.Mr.
Warner believes the inflows from Battle Creek during this same time of the year will be minimal.
The inflows from Battle Creek will occur primarily during the summertime.
MEMBERS COMMENTS
Mr.Izzo expressed appreciation to HEA and staff onsite.He feels the pictures are very helpful.
Mr.Thibert echoed appreciation to HEA,and commended Mr.Warner for his report.
Mr.Carey advised AEA has a new Executive Director Curtis Thayer,who begins on February 4.
Chair Borgeson informed BPMC of Mr.Day's request to have a student guest onsite for two
weeks as part of an internship.The student will bring their own food and there will be no
associated costs.There was no objection to the request.
10...NEXT MEETING DATE-March 22,2019

to the State of Alaska of approximately 5,500 acres.AEA paid the current lands bill andconcurrentlyfiledanappeal.The appeal was denied by Federal Energy RegulatoryCommission(FERC)in September.AEA filed an appeal to the FERC denial determination and
requested a rehearing.AEA submitted an application for amendment to Bradley changing theamountoflandinthelicense.In November;FERC issued an order amending the license tochangetheamountoflandwithinBradleyandrevisedtheannualcharges.All future invoices
from FERC for the land fee will be zero.FERC determined in early December,a refund for land
fees is due to AEA for $86,558 and is anticipated to be paid within the next month.Mr.Carey
explained the federal lands transfer saves the Bradley project land charges of approximately
$200,000 to $300,000 annually.He noted another benefit is the Bradley relicensing process in
about 10 years will no longer contain a mandatory conditioning authority.
Chair Borgeson congratulated Mr.Carey on his good work.He expressed appreciation to the
State for selection of the lands for the benefit of the Bradley project.
D.Battle Creek Project Update
Mr.Carey provided the Battle Creek project update.He informed the contractor worked until the
weather became prohibitive in late November.The work is planned to restart in April.The
project is slightly behind schedule,but it is still possible to meet the final completion date of
August 2020.The project is currently on budget.The contractor has not been submitting their
pay applications in a timely manner.Mr.Carey discussed the project photos provided to the
Committee.
E.Unit 2 Generator Repairs
DRAFT BPMC Minutes 12/7/18 ;Page 2 of 4
Bob Day of HEA reviewed the provided discussion paper regarding the proposed repair to the
Bradley Unit 2 generator.The rotor needs to be removed and a thorough inspection and
cleaning of the unit needs to occur.The proposal includes utilization of a mechanical contractor
to remove the rotor and an electrical contractor to clean the rotor,stator,and address the
corona problems.All work would be conducted onsite.If the repair is conducted during the
scheduled February transmission line outage,there will be very little impact to the Northern
utilities.Mr.Day informed the expedited timeframe would mean the procurement of the
wedging material would be issued as a sole source no-bid contract.If the contract is committed
next week,the wedging material can be received by February 1.The mechanical contractor
and electrical contractor would be chosen based on an informal bid process and the O&D's
review and recommendation of proposals.The project's estimated budget ranges from$500,000 to $950,000.eo,
Chair Borgeson clarified the repairs will be funded from the R&C fund and the amount will bespreadoverfouryearsofplantoperations.Ms.Garner agreed.Mr.Izzo inquired if this repair expense could be capitalized and ted over a longer term.Ms.Garner noted the payback over four years for the high estimate of $950,000is $238,000

January 25,2019
Work on the generator is slated to begin January 21°.The Kenai to Anchorage transmission outage
began January 20".That outage is due to HEA making repairs on a section of the transmission line that
will have the Kenai Anchorage transmission line out from January 20°to January 29".CEA will then
have the Kenai to Anchorage transmission line out for rebuilding a section of line near Summit.The
Summit outage is scheduled to run from February 1 to April 1%.The line contractor on the Summit job
has indicated an opinion that they will be able to complete this transmission outage early,we will see.
Bradley staff is going to apply LOTO to Unit 2 on January 21*and begin to remove the covers and
instrumentation.
We have a small barge bringing supplies and materials to the plant from Homer on January 25".The
plant has been obtaining materials in preparation for the outage.
Canyon Hydro is expected to arrive January 28"or 29"to begin work on pulling the rotor.The contract
has been signed with Canyon Hydro.
ABB is scheduled to arrive about February 11 (depends on Canyon Hydro's progress)and complete the
generator work which is estimated to last about 15 days.We are still working on completing the
contract with ABB.
Canyon Hydro will then return to the site (TBD)and replace the rotor in the machine.
Bradley staff will then reassemble the covers and instrumentation and if all goes as planned,we expect
to have the machine available for return to service about March 15",however the unit will not be run
(except for testing)until the transmission outage is complete.
Bradley has a signed contract with Five Star oilfield services to provide a cook for the contracting staff
for the duration of the outage.

Capital Projects:
1}Equipment shed is doing its job -the equipment storage shed is doing a good
job protecting and housing our equipment.We have some small items to finish,
anti-avalanche stakes for the roof are yet to be installed but we had too much
snow to do so.
2)Started contract discussion with ABB and Canyon Hydro -After approval by the
O&D documents were exchanged with the two recommended providers but
forward progress was slowed by the holidays.We have a contract with Canyon
Hydro but ABB is proving to be a little more challenging in order to reach
consensus on language.
3)Barge -Bradley will be bringing a smaller barge over January 25"with materials
and supplies to support the Generator 2 outage.
4)Fish Water Control Automation -Basically on hold,we are attempting to get
better information on the release vs level as what we are observing doesn't
match the schedule.This is the valve selection schedule we have used in the
past.We are also finding that at higher lake levels flows per pipe are slightly
lower on some manifolds (777).We do not yet understand this.We continue to
gather data as the lake level shifts.
5)Unit 2 Generator -By the time of this report we will be ready to begin removal of
the main rotor.We have been actively working on organizing the overhaul on
Unit 2.We have been gathering smaller items and equipment that we might
need.

Bradley O&D Report to the BPMC
Friday January 25,2019
1.Scheduled Outages
a.HEA's Sterling to Quartz 115kV transmission line outage began January 21 and is
scheduled for completion on January 29.
HEA suggested Bradley Unit 2 outage begin January 21 to prepare the unit for the
January 30 arrival of the mechanical contractor.The O&D determined there are
significant advantages for all Bradley Participants by taking the unit out of service earlier
than originally planned.
Chugach has scheduled a 60 day 115 kV tie outage between Hope and Summit
beginning February 1 and ending April 1,2019.
2.Water Report
a.Given the current projected inflows,participants projected use and various planned
outages,we will end the water year at a lake level of 1139.This lake level represents a
significant amount of pond,participants are encouraged to use as much water as
operationally possible.
As of the December 2018 water report,the year to date projected inflows were 333,616
ac-ft.Actual inflows for the same time period were 455,353 ac-ft.This represents an
additional 121,737 ac-ft of inflows above predicted.For the remaining January to May
water year the projected inflows are 36,930 ac-ft.These numbers represent gross
inflows and do not include water needed for fish water.
3.Draft FY20 Budget
a.HEA provided several repair and replacement items that were identified in the 2016
D.Hittle and Associates Report.HEA will review the items for potential inclusion in the
FY20 draft budget and provide additional feedback and recommendations at the next
O&D meeting.
