Genetec Project Update
Planned activities: WD Genetec transition. PRD transition. Migrate EDC and MLBDC pending CIP PACS Policies and
Procedure certification. Upon completion of above:
o Issue new HID cards. o Install new long range card readers on all gates.
Close the project.
Issues: • IT has lost number of employees with organizational
knowledge. Provisioning network is challenging due to gap in knowledge of current environment and configuration. Increase in potential outages and mitigation efforts require additional resources and time.
Risks: • Covid-19 will continue to challenge project coordination
and timeline.• Product and organizational knowledge loss due to both
internal and external resources leaving the organizations.
The IMT continues their response to the Coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) with no anticipated date of standing down.
We continue to meet collectively every Monday to provide updates to our Situational Report and that information is then shared with the Executives.
Sequestration: Due to multiple identified close contacts with a positive COVID-19 case our mission critical Operations staff at Priest Rapids Dam, we initiated our second sequestration at the plant on December 2nd, 2020 and successfully ended that sequestration on December 17th, 2020.
Throughout this sequestration and through January 13th, 2021 at 5AM we operated the plants at both Priest Rapids and Wanapum in an Incident Criticality Level (ICL) 1 (Critical) restricting access and work to those areas necessary. We remained in ICL 2 (Severe) for the rest of our operations.
The restrictions placed on the Wanapum Dam Powerhouse were a precautionary step to protect the mission critical employees/operations while at the same time providing assets to assist operations at the Priest Rapid Dam if necessary.
We acknowledged the sacrifice these mission critical employees and their families made to keep the powerhouses operating safely.
Our first, and only other sequestration took place at PRD in October 2020.
Antigen Testing: After working closely with and obtaining the support of the IBEW we initiated mandatory twice-weekly antigen testing on January 27th, 2021 for those designated Power Production employees, Power Delivery’s senior system operators and specified contractors to increase probability they are free of the virus as they perform work in Grant PUD control centers, powerhouses and some other facilities. This decision, coordinated and supported by the Mattawa Community Medical Clinic (MCMC) and supported by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), has resulted in 190 average tests per week (140 employees/50 contractors). To date this process has identified one confirmed positive test result from a contractor; substantiating our need to conduct these tests.
Vaccines: The IMT has established a Vaccine Planning Team (VPT) that includes IMT/Support staff and representatives from the IBEW. This team has a strong and calculated focus in the development of a vaccine plan. Though a lot of work has gone into looking at a plan from all perspectives, to include a white paper and a full SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weakness, Opportunities and Threats) no decision have been made as to the direction we will be recommending. It is anticipated those recommendations will come in late Q1 or early Q2/2021.
Incident Command System (ICS) Status
Emergency Management Development
The work of the Comprehensive Emergency Management Program/Incident Management Team (CEMP/IMT) has slowed due to our COVID response as anticipated. These team members are actively participating in our response and development along with their primary duties and responsibilities.
Though our internal work (team) has slowed we continue to work with our contractors and Grant County Emergency Management authorities in the development of our all-hazards Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan and the buildout of the support annexes to this plan as previously identified.

What it is To gain an understanding of the current state of leadership’s priorities and time commitments, and develop a structure to enable them to focus on value added work
Why we are doing it feedback was given to management about the lack of resources and time to allocate towards the plans/objectives that were put together. This analysis will further help understand the barriers that keep us from progressing in our strategy and other initiatives.
How we are doing it By gather information about the day in the life of a leader at Grant. We can use the data collected to help develop an understanding of leader’s priorities and time commitments, which could then help us create countermeasures to support leader’s ability to spend time on the appropriate work.
2021 outcomes Leader Standards for expectations, priorities and time commitments, Identify resource limitations, development of countermeasure
Human Performance Improvement (HPI) ProgramP ro g ra m O ve r v i e w
