Commonwealth's Project Manager and project team are quite familiar with Southeast Alaska through earli- er projects in which they have partic- ipated. For project success,it is essential that Commonwealth establish posi- tive relationships with Metlakatla and other project participants.The pro- ject management emphasis will be to develop a goal-oriented team ap- proach with all major participants: Metlakatla,Environmental Consult- ants,Design Engineers,General Contractors,key Material Suppliers, other subconsultants and contrac- tors,agencies,and other groups as necessary. P-13-148 Introduction Commonwealth is proposing to perform project management services to Metlakatla. Commonwealth's approach to project management of the Project will be to work in partnership with Metlakatla as an extension of Metlakatla's staff and/or act as their agent,as appropriate.Commonwealth will pro- vide a central hub for coordination and communication among all project participants.Commonwealth's Project Manager will provide a single point of contact for both Metlakatla and the project participants. Commonwealth will develop RFPs so that Metlakatla can enter into con- tracts with the necessary subconsultants and contractors;assist with ad- vertising the RFPs;review proposals;assist Metlakatla in reaching a decision on awarding the work;assist with developing appropriate con- tracts from a technical perspective;and,after the notice to proceed is is- sued by Metlakatla,manage the subconsultants and contractors,tracking their progress and budgets,approving invoices,reviewing change order requests,and providing recommendations and coordination between the vendors as appropriate.All contracts will be between Metlakatla and the subconsultant,vendor and contractors.Commonwealth,as the Project Manager,will not be a party to these contracts. During Phase 1,the Commonwealth team will work primarily from its Mount Vernon offices and will travel to Southeast Alaska when necessary. It is assumed that many meetings will take place via teleconference.This approach provides solid communication while helping keep costs down. Connect with Confidence Page 10 a Commonwealthassociates,inc. Commonwealth's approach to pro- ject management is to be pro-active, look ahead,anticipate,and include input from all major participants; including Metlakatla,the Construc- tion Management team,the Engi- neers,the Environmental Inspection/ Compliance teams,and the Contrac- tors. Quality,timely,open,complete communication among all parties is a key to project success.Common- wealth will facilitate this. Commonwealth is prepared to begin work on the Project on August 16, 2013,as indicated in the RFP,or after notice to proceed is received. Commonwealth assumes we will be managing,providing project man- agement services,for numerous consultants and contractors during the Project that will be under con- tract with Metlakatla.Examples of those under contract with Metlakatla include: e Hydro design engineers *Transmission line design engineer for the hydro interconnection ¢Substation design engineers for the hydro substation e Economic analysis consultants e System study consultants e Transmission line contractors for the hydro interconnection Submarine cable contractors Hydro construction manager Hydro contractors Load forecast and economic anal- ysis consultants Geotechnical,surveyor work,etc., would be subconsultants to those listed above. Should Commonwealth hire a sub- consultant directly,there is a 7% management fee,as noted in the included billing rates. P-13-148 During Phase 2,Commonwealth's Project Manager will work in an office established in Metlakatla.It is assumed this office will be needed only during construction of the hydro portion and not necessary during com- pletion of the intertie. Commonwealth's Project Manager will be supported by a team of Com- monwealth professionals for both phases.Duties of team members for example will be developing and maintaining the critical path schedule and cash flow charts,organizing and preparing the monthly progress re- ports,drafting various RFPs for the hiring of consultants and contractors and evaluating the responses,and managing consultants.Other members of the team will be available to provide their individual in-depth expertise in the areas of management,design,technical (both civil and electrical), and construction of similar remote-access hydro and transmission line projects. Commonwealth has highly experienced information technology (IT)per- sonnel to support the project team with the setup and maintenance of an FTP site,SharePoint site as well as a project web site (optional),to allow easy data access by all project participants. Background The Triangle Lake Watershed Feasibility Project will provide additional hydroelectric power to Metlakatla and,with construction of the 14-mile wood-pole 34.5 kV transmission line and a 3-mile submarine cable, Metlakatla's system will be interconnected with electric systems of Ketchikan,Wrangell,Petersburg and potentially Kake. Commonwealth understands the proposed Triangle Lake hydroelectric project will be located on the west side of Annette Island.A run-of-river project configuration has been developed.A low embankment dam with an integral ungated spillway and intake for the penstock would be con- structed at the north end of the lake.A 65-inch-diameter pipeline would proceed from the intake down to the powerhouse.The powerhouse would be constructed near tidewater at Hassler Harbor.The powerhouse would be constructed to house two horizontal Francis turbine generators, switchgear,and a control panel.It is assumed that existing logging roads would be upgraded for construction.The penstock assumes a surface run pipeline,which would be built on a newly constructed road.The pipeline would be laid on bedding and cans welded together.Thrust blocks will be required at locations where there are sharp changes in direction.The en- tire pipeline would be covered in bedding for protection. The feasibility of raising the dam height at Chester Lake to expand hydro- electric capacity will also be reviewed by a subconsultant. Connect with Confidence Page 11 a Commonwealthassociates,inc. Commonwealth has found that a critical path schedule provides the following advantages: e Structure and detail for quality of up-front planning Enables selective reporting Agency activities Environmental activities Engineering activities Clearing activities Material procurement activities Construction activities Enables "What If analysis A "look ahead”view to help an- ticipate schedule impacts e Keeps the project moving ac- cording to plan A critical path schedule will be de- veloped. Commonwealth has recently com- pleted an Electrical System Study for SEAPA's electrical system,including Ketchikan.Because of _thisknowledgeandbackground,Com- monwealth is in a unique position to do additional system studies that may be required.Should this be determined necessary,a cost esti- mate to do the work can be pre- pared. A contributing factor for project suc- cess is quality communication.This is one of the reasons the Swan-Tyee Intertie was successful.It is im- portant that Commonwealth coordi- nate and communicate with all team members,consultants,contractors, critical agencies and entities in- volved with the Project. P-13-148 Construction of the 14-mile overhead intertie will be completed and en- ergized in midsummer 2013.Review of the submarine cable specifica- tions have been completed and updated.Permitting is approximately 95%complete.Energy production and construction cost studies were performed for the Triangle Lake,Lower Todd Lake and Chester Lake Hy- dro Upgrade Projects in July 2011 and January 2012. For the Triangle Lake Project,Commonwealth understands Metlakatla has funds available from the Alaska Renewable Energy Fund.The funded project tasks include:1)establishment of a local project office,2)prepa- ration of a feasibility study,3)completion of applicable permitting,4)a plan of integration of the proposed hydro plant with other energy genera- tion,5)utility agreements for power sales,6)an economic feasibility study,7)35%design documents,8)final design documents and 9)a con- struction cost estimate. For the Intertie,we understand AEA grant funds are also available.The grant funds are to complete the design of the 34.5 kV transmission inter- tie.The proposed intertie will follow an existing road and require a sub- marine cable to interconnect the Metlakatla electric system with the Ketchikan electric system.In addition,grant funds will be used to com- plete design upgrades to the various control systems of the Metlakatla electric system (including the governor and SCADA systems).These up- grades are necessary to accommodate the connection between the Metlakatla and Ketchikan electric systems.The grant tasks included in the draft award document include setting up a local project office,completion of all permits and final design,negotiation of applicable power sales agreements,and preparation of an economic feasibility study and a con- struction cost estimate. Scope of Work Commonwealth will provide a project management office to coordinate, manage and implement the milestones of the grants to provide efficient and effective use of funds and expedite both projects toward completion in a timely manner.Commonwealth will provide project management support to Metlakatla for the following: e Assist Metlakatla with developing a staffing plan for Project duties and responsibilities including,but not limited to,the name and con- tact information of the Project Manager and any key personnel as- signed to the Project by Metlakatla. e Provide the Project Manager's resume. e Develop a Project budget detailing design,construction,management, bonding and insurance costs,and other costs needed to complete the Project. Connect with Confidence Page 12 ames Commonwealth associates,inc. Commonwealth's project manage- ment team will develop a Project Procedures Manual to assist in monitoring of the project.The Pro- ject Procedures Manual will include: e Listing of all participating entities with the appropriate contact in- formation (addresses,email, and phone numbers). ¢Communication flow chart.This document will establish docu- ment control and communica- tion relationships and _identify responsibility and accountability e Payment procedure outline.A flow chart will be developed for each contract,identifying check lists and the requirements nec- essary prior to providing pay- ment for services rendered. Commonwealth understands _that95%of the necessary environmental and permitting work for the intertie is complete.Commonwealth also un- derstands that EPS out of Anchor- age has essentially completed the design of the KPU interconnection and the submarine cable.A contrac- tor needs to be hired to install it. Schedule,costs,performance,and issues of concern will all be included in monthly progress reports.By identifying issues of concern,we can solve problems early before they cause a significant impact on the overall project.Early resolution of the issues will assist in completing the project within the established schedule and budget. P-13-148 Prepare a spending plan that details a schedule of reimbursement over the expected design and permitting phase to bring the Project to construction ready. Prepare a project development plan detailing a time schedule for permitting,design and construction,commissioning and commercial operation,and project budget through completion of design and per- mitting with the following milestones: -For the hydro project, o Completion of applicable permitting,including the NEPA pro- cess and FERC permitting if required o Development of an Integration plan into the preferred trans- mission line route o Final design and permitting -For the intertie, o Completion of permitting requirements o Completion of the submarine cable and interconnection with KPU Perform an analysis of economic feasibility based on a Project cost estimate and a best estimate of a cost of power and transmission line cost of operations to the delivery point of power.

Commonwealth's IT staff can easily provide a secured separate FTP site for information exchange for the identified project participants.The FTP site will facilitate all project par- ticipants having access to necessary electronic documents for successful project completion.Project partici- pants with the appropriate user names and passwords will be able to upload and download electronic data from the site. Early in the project,the Common- wealth team could,at Metlakatla's discretion,create a project-specific web site to allow easy exchange of information with the public.A project- specific web site would allow inter- ested parties to view general project data,schedules,and news items.A web site would keep the public in- formed and promote goodwill.To see a sample project web site,visit: www.ccfreeway.com.Common- wealth can provide this service on a time and expense basis,and an es- timate can be provided if desired. Success of the Project will require good communication and documen- tation of decisions and action items. All participants will be required to strive for open discussion.Commu- nication will take place both informal- ly and formally through face-to-face visits,phone,email,letters,and re- ports. The project office Commonwealth will be establishing in Metlakatla is anticipated to be approximately 1,200 square feet in size with suffi- cient room for approximately six desks to provide work areas for the Project Manager,administrative as- sistant,and other project team members.There will be storage area for files,radios,boots,rain gear,etc.A meeting space will also be provided.It is anticipated that this office will only be necessary during the hydro construction.
