BRADLEY LAKE PROJECT MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE
RESOLUTION NO. 22- 05
AUTHORIZING CHUGACH ELECTRIC ASSOCIATION TO CONDUCT COMPETITIVE
PROCUREMENT ON BEHALF OF THE PROJECT
INTRODUCTION
The Bradley Lake Project Management Committee (“BPMC”) is responsible for the
management, operation, maintenance, and improvement of the Bradley Lake
Hydroelectric Project (the “Project”), subject to the non-delegable duties of the Alaska
Energy Authority (the “Authority”).
On December 10, 2021, the BPMC adopted Resolution 21-02 setting forth its intent to
improve the transmission grid from Homer to Fairbanks and help foster the deliverability
of sustainable low-cost clean energy produced by the Project. An essential element of the
grid improvement project is completing the required upgrades to the Sterling Substation
to Quartz Creek Substation (“SSQ Line”). The SSQ Line along with other rights relating
to transmission capacity and upgrade options became part of the assets of the Project
through its purchase by AEA.
In order to implement Resolution 21-02, the BPMC has determined that it is in the best
interest of the Project to authorize Chugach Electric Association to utilize its procurement
services to competitively procure all necessary materials and services to complete the
design of the SSQ Line.
PURPOSE OF BPMC RESOLUTION 22-05
BPMC Resolution 22-05 begins the process of implementing improvements to the
transmission grid from Homer to Fairbanks by specifically authorizing Chugach Electric
Association to competitively procure materials and services for the planned upgrades to
the SSQ Line.
.
BPMC RESOLUTION NO. 22-05
WHEREAS, the Bradley Lake Project Management Committee (“BPMC”) receives its
authority under the Bradley Lake Hydroelectric Project Agreement for the Sale and
Purchase of Electric Power (“Power Sales Agreement”).
