ZWATCH Metlakatla Indian Community Project Management Services for the Triangle /M-K Intertie Project 2.2 Estimated Costs Hatch understands and agrees with MIC's intent to contract for the services included in the RFP in phases.At each phase,Hatch will coordinate a detailed scope of work with the MIC based upon the results of work completed on the project up to that date.Hatch will then develop a schedule and an estimated cost with a breakdown by man-hours,expenses and costs for the pending phase,which will be submitted to the MIC for review and approval.Our goal will be to maintain the ability to be flexible and to work in a collaborative manner with the MIC as the two projects progress from phase to phase. 3.General Experience of the Firm The Hatch team,with the support of R&M,is accustomed to dealing with intense logistical issues while providing safe and generally comfortable working environments in unsupported situations in all weather conditions throughout Alaska. Hatch has recently successfully conducted an intense field study program for the Chikuminuk Lake Hydroelectric Project in southwest Alaska.The project has been proposed by the newly formed Nuvista Light &Electric Cooperative,Inc.,a non-profit corporation whose mission is to improve the energy economics within the Calista Region.Chikuminuk Lake is one of many lakes in the Tikchik Lake system of Wood-Tikchik State Park in southwest Alaska.The lake is approximately 118 miles southeast of Bethel and 75 miles north of Dillingham,and is one of the more remote locations within the state,accessible only by float plane. As the overall program manager,Hatch engaged a multi-disciplinary team composed of six subconsultants,based regionally in the project area to support environmental,surveying,stream gaging,and geotechnical studies for the project.Each subconsultant was selected due to their specific expertise,local knowledge,and experience with complex and dynamic projects in order to address the unique challenges presented by the project.Some of the challenges presented by project include being located within the largest state park in the United States,the need for the transmission line to traverse a national wildlife refuge,and being accessible only during the period mid-June through mid-September. Based on our extensive experience,we anticipate that field work for the Triangle/M-K Intertie project would generally follow the simple,but methodical,progression outlined below. 1.Assess data needs and site-specific constraints (location,permitting,weather,etc),then plan how the site will be accessed.In Southeast Alaska,access will generally include fixed wing,helicopter,and/or boat. 2.Based on chosen access method and other identified constraints,plan necessary gear and evacuation procedures.Relevant considerations include: a.Day trips:field personnel on remote sites have sufficient supplies to subsist in relative comfort at the site for at least two to three days. Multi-day trips:plan and construct on-site basic camps,assuming portable Page 4 EAA RESafety*Quality ¢Sustainability «Innovation ©Hatch 2013 All rights reserved,including all rights relating to the use of this document or its contents. ZwWATCH Metlakatla Indian Community Project Management Services for the Triangle /M-K Intertie Project supplies and rustic latrine methods. Involved/engthy field programs:engage a third-party camp specialist to build a temporary remote camp. b.Survival kits are carried into the field,including satellite telephone,emergency rations,first aid kit,shelter and emergency sleeping supplies,and related items. c.Interdisciplinary trips,R&M will assume site control,ensuring adequate survival supplies and planning are conducted for the entire field crew. 3.Write,orient staff to,and ensure implementation of a project-specific safety plan detailing evacuation procedures,contact numbers and chains of communication and daily/weekly safety procedures (tailgate meetings,etc). 4.Field teams will have currently-trained first aid and CPR certified individuals.Many individuals will also have received wildlife and firearms training. 5.Personnel in the field in Southeast Alaska will be equipped with wildlife protection potentially including noise making devices,bear spray,and firearms. 6.As needed,the Hatch team may employ the services of a trained and certified wildlife guard,so that field staff can focus on their work in potentially hazardous wildlife areas. 4.Project Resumes In recent years Hatch has provided coordination and project management of interdisciplinary work groups for several projects in Alaska covering the full range of services within the scope of work outlined in the RFP.The services provided for these projects has included engineering, regulatory consultation,biological studies,surveying,recreation and aesthetic resources, socioeconomic resources,subsistence,historical and archaeological resources.Specifically, the projects we present below demonstrate our capability over a full range of services for hydropower development include the Whitman Lake Hydroelectric Project,the Humpback Creek Rehabilitation Project,and the Terror Lake Hydroelectric Project. 4.1 Whitman Lake Hydroelectric Project -Regulatory Support,Final Design, and Construction Supervision Contact:Tim McConnell,Electric Division Manager Owner:Ketchikan Public Utilities Contact Information:907.228.5447; timm@city.ketchikan.ak.us Project Value:$17mm Project Description:Hatch is providing regulatory support services,final design engineering services,and construction management for the Whitman Lake Hydroelectric Project,located outside of Ketchikan in the eee aa Abe SOY 7TongassNationalForest.Water from the Whitman Lake oe,a>at ery,(reserv oir)is currently used for supporting hatchery Whitman Lake Hydroelectric Project--Constructionoperationsdownstream.Hatch evaluated various began in early 2013.

ZAATCH Metlakatla Indian Community Project Management Services for the Triangle /M-K Intertie Project designs for installing a small turbine that provides power and water supply to the hatchery,and a larger turbine exclusively for power generation.Construction started in spring 2013 and Hatch is currently providing construction management services until the estimated project completion date in Spring 2014. Key elements of the services provided include: e Regulatory support to navigate the requirements and recommendations of local agencies and the FERC in the licensing effort for the project. e Support in the development and execution of a Settlement Agreement between KPU and agencies. e Engineering field studies including condition assessment of the existing dam,and geotechnical investigations,and oversight of biological studies and development of a Scenic Management Plan. Review of basin hydrology,reservoir routing,and estimated energy generation. e Evaluation of potential powerhouse configurations,including:location,foundation, tailrace,and impacts to fish hatchery. e Assessment of alternative water conduit schemes for potential benefits in construction cost,operation and maintenance.Various pipe and support materials were considered. e Examination of new diversion weir structure on Achilles Creek (in adjacent drainage basin),including review of various pipeline alignments and materials and appropriate energy dissipating outlet structure. e Prepared design drawings and specifications for three construction contracts including new intakes,new powerhouse and penstocks;generation equipment,switchyard and transmission line connection. e Providing ongoing construction management support which includes a full-time resident site representative. Unique Problems Overcome:A unique and challenging problem associated with the Whitman Lake project is the dual use of the water for electric generation and water supply to a valuable hatchery.Environmental requirements associated with the FERC licensing process created additional demands on a limited water resource and created operational situations such that the existing infrastructure would no longer provide a reliable water supply.Using a collaborative approach,a settlement agreement was forged that addressed both hatchery and agency concerns.

ZRATCH Metlakatla Indian Community Project Management Services for the Triangle /M-K Intertie Project 4.2 Humpback Creek Rehabilitation Project Contact:Clay Koplin,CEO Owner:Cordova Electric Cooperative (CEC) Contact Information:907-424-5026; ckoplin@cordovaelectric.com Project Value:$16mm (construction fees) Project Description:The Humpback Creek Hydroelectric Project is located on Orca Inlet outside Cordova,Alaska.The Zils acini wenadivertedflowofupto125cfssuppliesthreeturbineswithacomplied2011 total capacity of 1.3 MW.The original project was built in 1989 was in service until early 2006 when a fire damaged the powerhouse.Just as powerhouse repairs were completed in the fall of 2006 an extreme flood event destroyed the intake/diversion structure and put the project out of service forcing the City of Cordova to continue to rely on expensive diesel generators for power in demands in excess of generation available from their other hydroelectric project.The damages required a complete redesign and rebuild of the Humpback Creek intake/diversion structure and upper water conveyance. Hatch and R&M Consultants were selected to perform professional engineering,construction management and regulatory services for the replacement of the project's upper water conveyance and intake structure.The project was completed in 2010.It was recognized by Alaska and federal officials as an example of how rural Alaska communities can become more energy independent.Hatch and R&M provided assistance with the removal of the damaged intake diversion,site investigations (survey and geotechnical),preliminary design,assessment of design alternatives,preliminary through final construction cost estimating,preparation of permit applications,and a draft FERC license amendment application.Additional services included preparation of FERC non-capacity amendment to CEC's FERC license,preparation of final design documents,and assistance during bidding and engineering assistance during construction. Unique Problems Overcome:The Humpback Creek Rehabilitation Project presented many engineering challenges.Challenges included incorporating provisions to address extreme flow events with high bed loads and debris movement,designing a diversion dam on weak rock with a low effective friction angle,protecting the upper penstock from rock and debris slides,and repairs to a 130 foot long steel truss supporting the penstock.Hatch designed an innovative intake/diversion that incorporated a remotely operated crest mounted spillgate as well as external and an internal sluices.During the initial 2.5 years of operation the intake/diversion has worked well with Cordova Electric Cooperative being able to remotely operate the project to address changing flow,sediment and debris conditions.

Contact Information:907.486.7707;dscott@kodiak.coop Project Value:$15mm weTe ya oeaNA e:+WevignsAlhea$s 3 ron Project Description:Kodiak Electric Association (KEA) engaged Hatch to investigate the engineering feasibility of adding a third turbine/generator unit in the existing open bay ae:»in the powerhouse,prepare preliminary exhibits for an Turbine installationin progress-July 2013.anticipated amendment to the existing Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)license,provide final design services and engineering supervision during construction and start-up.This third unit installation will expand the project installed capacity from 22.5 MW to 34 MW. Feasibility Study:Engineering feasibility studies centered around the physical space constraints, the limitations imposed by the tunnel and tailrace,project cost estimates and the effects on lake levels due to the increased capacity.The third unit allows the capacity of the Pillar Mountain Wind Farm to be increased by installation of a second set of three1.5 MW wind turbines to add an additional 4.5 MW to Kodiak's system.Other benefits that were identified include turbine redundancy for maintenance purposes,increased capacity and eliminated spin reserve requirement. Key Personnel Involved:Joe Earsley,Project Manager,Dick Griffith,Energy and Water Use; Carl Mannheim,Cost Estimating Regulatory Services:The installation of an additional third turbine to the Terror Lake Project required KEA to file an application for capacity amendment to their existing FERC license. Hatch prepared all required regulatory documents in close collaboration with KEA,including all engineering exhibits and the Preliminary Draft Environmental Assessment.Specifically,the draft amendment to license was prepared in November 2010 for comments by agencies per NEPA scoping requirements.Hatch coordinated the public scoping meetings held in Kodiak in early December 2010,and then prepared the final amendment to license that was filed with the FERC in May 2011.Challenges included working within KEA's tight schedule to complete all necessary regulatory consultation.Close collaboration and communication with KEA ensured a successfully filed application for capacity amendment to license ahead of schedule and under budget.The filing was accepted by the FERC and ready for environmental review in a record 23 days. Key Personnel Involved:Nan Nalder,Lead Regulatory Specialist;Langley Sears,Regulatory Coordinator Final Design and Construction Management:This project covers the final design,construction management,start up and project close out with FERC.The new Third Unit required some demolition of the exiting draft tube,the addition of a new spiral case and associated concrete, Page 8 CIM BIESafety«Quality «Sustainability ¢Innovation ©Hatch 2013 All rights reserved,including all rights relating to the use of this document or its contents. ZAATCH Metlakatla Indian Community Project Management Services for the Triangle /M-K Intertie Project turbine-generator and associated concrete,new controls for the existing turbine inlet valve (TIV),digital governor,switchgear,unit controls and protection,step-up transformer and substation modifications.Major contracts produced included a turbine-generator supply contract,step-up transformer supply contract,governor-TIV controls-turbine control panel-unit protection supply and installation contract,unit switchgear contract and a general construction contract.Hatch is also providing engineering site support during construction,commissioning and start-up.The project is scheduled to be completed and on line in October 2013. Key Personnel Involved:Joe Earsley,Project Manager and Mechanical Engineer/ Construction Management,Gene Hawkridge,Lead Electrical Engineer,Dan Hertrich, Switchyard Civil Engineer Unique Problems Overcome:The Terror Lake site is remote from any road system and is the main power supply for the Kodiak community.Access is by float plane or boat.All heavy materials must come over the beach by barge or landing craft with corresponding cost and schedule implications.The new turbine was physically larger that the space allotted for it 30 years ago and therefore part of the existing concrete in the powerhouse had to be removed and the new turbine installed without impacting the continued operation of the powerhouse for supplying power to Kodiak.This has been done with no unplanned outages. 5.Additional References We have selected three key references for projects that we have managed out of the Seattle and Anchorage Hatch offices.Our proposed key staff are well Known by the individuals listed below.We will be pleased to provide additional references if desired.

Metlakatla Indian Community Project Management Services for the Triangle /M-K Intertie Project 6.8 Monthly Stakeholder Meetings In consultation with the MIC,Hatch will prepare the agenda for each monthly stakeholder meeting.We understand that these meetings may be held via teleconference.However,some face-to-face meetings will be required depending on the issues of concern and whether action/agreement by third parties is required.Hatch will investigate availability of a video- conference hook-up for these meetings.We have found that use of the video-conference assists greatly in communications and has avoided the cost of travel to attend regular monthly meetings.Hatch will provide appropriate staff to participate in these meetings.Hatch will prepare minutes of meetings and provide them to MIC and participants for review and comment. 6.9 Metlakatla Public Meetings Hatch team members as appropriate will periodically travel to Metlakatla to attend public informational meetings throughout the phased project.Where requested,Hatch will prepare PowerPoint presentations for these meetings.Hatch will provide access to staff not able to travel for a meeting via teleconference.We will investigate the option of a video-conference hook-up for these meetings as an option to teleconference. 6.10 Document Review and Invoice Review Hatch will perform a detailed review of all documents transmitted to MIC from consultants.The quality of each document will be reviewed on the basis of how it will reflect upon the MIC.The substance review will be based on the goals and objectives of the MIC.Any issues of substance will be discussed and reviewed with the MIC prior to dissemination to appropriate parties. Contractor submittals will reviewed for consistency with the appropriate contract provisions (plans and specifications)for each project. Hatch will review all invoices for payment and provide the MIC recommendations for the payment thereof based on the following: ¢Consultant invoices -the procurement provisions of the AEA. e Contractor invoices -the schedule of values within the appropriate construction or supply contract. 6.11 RFP and Bid Document Preparation Hatch will work with MIC's management to develop and the define scope for RFPs and bid documents for the project.The areas of project development that we anticipate will require the preparation of RFPs and bid documents include environmental studies,planning,design and construction management., 6.12 Construction Management Hatch will manage the project as the owners representative and will track progress according to budget and schedule.We will prepare the monthly reports for any grant requirements.All project correspondence will be reviewed with MIC's best interest in mind.As issues or decisions need MIC's attention,we will discuss the aspects from our extensive experience in Page 12 Safety ¢Quality e Sustainability ©Innovation ©Hatch 2013 All rights reserved,including all rights relating to the use of this document or its contents. ZRAATCH Metiakatia Indian Community Project Management Services for the Triangle /M-K Intertie Project design and construction management and assist MIC in making a decision.All project documents and correspondence will be tracked by title and selected key words and catalogued in a spreadsheet database for future ease of retrieval.Contract change orders,requests for information,and record of non-conformance will be given unique,consecutive file numbers and tracked to resolution and completion. 6.13 Power Sales Agreements Hittle will obtain and evaluate basic information with regard to existing contracts,agreements and operating arrangements that will affect the eventual contract terms that will be needed for MIC to sell power from its generation facilities to KPU,SEAPA and potentially others.The existing contract information will be used to establish proposed contract terms for the sale of power.Hittle,in association with various legal and financial advisors,will also assist MIC in meetings with KPU,SEAPA and others in discussing and negotiating power sales and interconnection agreements.The terms and conditions associated with potential power sales and interconnection agreements will be factored into the economic analysis as appropriate. 6.14 Design Contract Management Hatch will develop an overall cost tracking system for the Triangle/M-K Intertie projects to be updated on a monthly basis in support of the recommendations for payment of invoices under Section 6.10 above.The system will produce a set of reports for each of the two existing grants,and for any future AEA grants.These reports in turn can be used for MIC's submittal to the AEA as will likely be required for the AEA's administration of the grant funding.Each report will include the following: e An overall summary showing for each major activity the estimated amount,the amount invoiced to-date,and the balance. e A page showing the same information for each of the contracted entities involved in the Triangle/M-K Intertie projects. e Apage for each major activity showing the budget status thereof and the invoice history for each contracted entity. Hatch has prepared and successfully utilized this style of reporting for several AEA grant- supported projects including the Chikuminuk Lake Hydroelectric Project for the Calista Corporation through its subsidiary,Nuvista Light and Electric Cooperative.This effort is still in process and includes 12 major activities being supported by 6 different firms with an overall budget of $3.8M.A generic copy of the set of reports can be supplied upon request. In addition,Hatch will monitor and update as necessary the progress of the Triangle/M-K Intertie projects on a monthly basis as mentioned above for Section 6.7. 6.15 Agency Coordination We will develop a matrix to assist in coordination with all agencies and entities at the outset of our services to MIC.We will draw on our extensive experience in developing agreements with federal and state resources to avoid lengthy consultations that can adversely affect project schedules.Key to success is having an understanding of the mandated objectives of each agency and the constraints with which agency representatives must operate,and then forging a Page 13 EAM EE Safety #Quality e Sustainanility Innovation ©Hatch 2013 All rights reserved,including all nights reiating to the use of this document or its contents. ZRAATCH Metlakatla Indian Community Project Management Services for the Triangle /M-K Intertie Project pathway forward that demonstrates compliance while accomplishing the critical objective of power delivery for the MIC community. 6.16 Cash Flow Management The estimated costs associated with development and construction of the alternative facilities will be estimated on a quarterly basis to identify the timing of cash requirements.The availability of funds on hand,grant receipts and potential loan proceeds will be evaluated with regard to the estimated cash flow requirements. 6.17 Construction Contracting Methods Hatch will work with MIC to develop the "best fit”contracting format for the Agency,the funding method and the site.The default method of Hatch for hydroelectric project development has been a traditional relationship between the owner and the engineer and to separate major equipment procurement from the general construction contract.There are,however,several other forms of "project delivery”that merit consideration for the hydropower component of the Triangle/M-K Intertie projects including: e Design Construct; e Construction Manager at Risk (CM @ Risk)as currently being used by Copper Valley Electric Association for its Allison Lake Project;and e Construction Manager /General Contractor (CM/GC)as recently used by the AIDEA for the Ketchikan Shipyard improvements. Hatch will prepare an analysis of above listed project contract methods with a recommended option for MIC's consideration. 6.18 Expediting Receipt of Critical Equipment As implied by the above,Hatch's experience is that the best,most secure way to expedite the receipt of critical,long lead time equipment is to issue technical specifications for their procurement prior to issuance of bid documents for the general construction contract.Upon approval from MIC,Hatch will develop the commercial bid and contract terms in partnership with MIC and their legal staff,issue the resulting documents,analyze bid responses,make recommendation for award and contract for purchase. 6.19 Metlakatla Construction Management Office As the project approaches start up,Hatch will locate and arrange to lease a site for a local Construction Management office.Ideally the office will have sufficient space and connectivity to enable remote teleconferencing for the project kick off and weekly project progress meetings.It may be advantageous to keep open an option for additional space for the contractor and site engineer. 6.20 State and Federal Permit Compliance We will bring to MIC our experience in assuring that project scheduling is not delayed due to conflicting requirements submitted by federal and state agencies by tracking all consultations for Triangle/M-K Intertie from the outset.Should we identify an emerging problem,we will advise MIC and provide options for MIC's consideration in resolving such potential conflicts.

RELEVANT EXPERIENCE Hatch -2006 to Present Project Manager for the AK-BC Intertie Feasibility Study.Services included performing studies and investigations and preparing reports for the Alaska Energy Authority regarding the proposed AK-BC Intertie,a transmission segment connecting southern Southeast Alaska with British Columbia,and updating the Southeast Alaska Electrical Intertie SYSTEM Plan prepared in 1997 by Acres International. The overall project envisioned an interconnected electrical system within southern SE Alaska to increase system reliability,provide hydro-generated electricity to isolated load centers,offset high cost diesel generation,reduce overall greenhouse gas emissions (GHG),and encourage sustainable economic development in the region.The proposed AK-BC Intertie would provide an incentive to develop additional renewable energy resources,including three major new hydro projects at Thomas Bay,for the purpose of exporting electric power for sale in BC and,potentially the lower 48 states.The study supported additional funding by the Alaska legislature to complete the Swan-Tyee Intertie (STI),an essential link between major load centers in southern SE Alaska.The STI will be used to transmit current surplus power from the Tyee Lake Project to Ketchikan and provide electricity to offset diesel generation and convert fuel-oil heating to electric heating. Project Manager for Kodiak Electric Association for the Capacity Amendment to License to Install the Third Unit.The Terror Lake Project was one of four projects developed by the State of Alaska and then transferred to the Four Dam Pool Power Agency.In 2009,the Terror Lake Project License was transferred to KEA.Nan served as Project Manager for assessment of four potential project enhancements:(1) addition of a third generation unit in an empty bay in the Terror Lake Powerhouse;(2)restoration of the damaged Rolling Rock Diversion development;(3)addition of flow from Hidden Basin to the Terror Lake Reservoir;and (4)consideration of addition of a small generating unit at the outlet of the Terror Lake Reservoir to the Terror River for purposes of fishery enhancement. KEA elected to proceed with option (1)above and prepared and filed a Capacity Application for Amendment with the FERC to install an additional 11.25 megawatt (MW)hydroelectric turbine-generator in an existing bay (Third Turbine)within the Terror Lake Powerhouse.KEA consulted with federal and state agencies on a continuing basis throughout preparation of the Application that was prepared using the NEPA format for an Environmental Assessment (EA)to enable the FERC Staff to use text in their EA. FERC issued an Order granting KEA's request 6 months following filing of the Amendment.Installation of the Third Unit is under construction. The Third Unit will bring many benefits to KEA's electrical system.Specifically,it brings added generation from Terror Lake through the enhanced operational efficiency and will provide redundancy to allow for Ss'kingTogetherWorkingeEray 04/2006 ZHATCH Nan A.Nalder,Page 2 better availability of hydropower during maintenance on the three units.Most importantly,the addition of hydropower capacity at the Project allows KEA to continuously supply renewably-generated electricity during periods of peak load without depending on diesel fuel,and provides a larger renewable base-load platform to support additional wind power on KEA's island grid system.KEA's system often operates with 90%renewable power.
