15 Page 3 A2 Please provide a rough breakdown of the $2 MM betweencash (or cash owed) and sweat equity
Response 15 DPP will have incurred direct development costs of approximately$2 million by mid-February 2005 This does not include the internalcosts or sweat equity of the sponsors or any costs from thevarious project stakeholders such as the EPC contractor the bankthe operations contractor etc All inclusive costs are estimated tobe well in excess of $2 million dollars over the period up to theaward and another $2 million over the three months from award tomid-February The above figures are conservative estimates
In addition to the expenses mentioned above DPP has made a $5million deposit related to the Asset Transfer Agreement and hasprovided development security of slightly over $30 million
16 Page 3 A3 Is sale of energy or capacity to Harmac or any party otherthan BC Hydro the intention of DPPLP
161 Are contractual arrangements with Harmac in place or underway
162 In DPPLPs opinion does BC Hydro have any contractual rightsunder its EPA to require DPPLP to sell this capacity or energy (orany part of it) to BC Hydro at any time
Response 16 Yes
161 No
162 Contractually BC Hydro has rights to 105 of 252 MW
17 Page 4 A3 How much additional capacity is available through duct firing
171 When will this capability be installed
172 What benefit if any will accrue to BC Hydro from such capability
173 If any of the plant components listed were upgraded to improveplant heat rate how would the resulting financial benefits be splitbetween BC Hydro and DPPLP
Response 17 Duct firing will provide approximately an additional 28-30Megawatts of capacity
171 All capacity will be operational by May 1 2007
172 The existence of capacity exceeding 105 of 252 MW providesextra insurance to BC Hydro that minor facility upsets in the
OMS Legal054046OOOO 1 19n044v3
- 4 -
operation of the plant will not adversely affect the availability of thecontracted capacity Such potential minor operational upsets willbe first absorbed by the additional duct fired capacity
173 The resulting costs and financial benefits would accrue 100 toDPPLP
18 Page 7 A7 DPPLP state there were no surprises in the CFT processPlease if and how DPPLP anticipated that the term of the EPA would bechanged from 10-25 years as in the original CFT documents to 25 yearsminimum with a BC Hydro unilateral option to extend to 35 years Pleasesimilarly explain why DPPLP expected that the Independent Revieweroriginally allowed to talk to bidders would later be forbidden to talk tobidders and vice-versa
Response 18 In the team members experience it is quite common for theoffering party to refine the terms of CFTRFP processes mid-course as objectives and constraints become better known and toreflect the input of potential bidders In DPPs view although therewere substantive changes to the EPA during the process theprocess itself reflected no dramatic departures from the originallyindicated path This comment also reflects the fact that all partieswere kept appraised of ongoing developments in order to ensurethat everyone remained on an equal footing Specifically thetransition to the 25-year term resulted in a term that is consistentwith the life of the assets With respect to the independentReviewer at the time that DPP became involved in the CFTprocess bidders were not able to communicate directly with theIndependent Reviewer
19 Page10A13
191 Is DPPLP taking the position that it was unaware that the BCUCmight reject the EPA if it found that as for VIGP BC Hydro hadfailed to demonstrate that this project is the most cost effectivesolution for the Vancouver Island capacity issue If so pleaseprovide evidence from the CFT documents that support thisposition
192 Is DPPLP taking the position that the terms and conditions of theEPA are irrelevant in the determination of whether this project is themost cost effective solution to the Vancouver Island capacity issueIf so please state why
193 Would DPPLP bid the same prices for the project if the terms andconditions of the EPA were (a) far harsher or (b) far looser asseen from the position of bidder
DMSLegal105404610000 111972044v3
-5 -
194 Philosophically is there a point of harshness in a CFT andEPA atwhich DPPLP would simply decline to bid
Response 191 No DPP notes that VIGP was not the result of a broad all-sources competitive process
192 No However DPP considers that the EPA must be considered inthe context of the market-based approach adopted for theacquisition of the needed capacity If it can be clearly shown thatthe EPA in its totality is fundamentally flawed then this findingshould be addressed by the Commission However DPP views apiecemeal revisiting of this EPA as inappropriate if not impossibleDPP is of the view that the most important aspect of any reviewbeing its fairness has been answered through the competitiveprocess as all bidders faced the same EPA Terms and Conditionsand consequently all bidders remained on an equal footing
The Commission could use this proceeding as an opportunity toprovide commentary for use in future competitive procurementprocesses in the Province
193 No any bid would obviously be influenced by the totality of thepackage offered by the EPA This is not solely a pricing issueBidders adopt technologies and configure their facilities to meet thetechnical requirements of the electrical system as reflected in anEPA This clearly would impact the quantum of the bid but itsprimary role is to ensure that the system adopts appropriatetechnology to meet its requirements
194 Depending on the circumstances yes
110 Under the terms of the DPPLP EPA please explain the extent to whichDPPLP is responsible for any Green House Gas charges fees orpenalties until 2010 and starting 2011 Please clarify whether DPPLPhas factored any such GHG liability into its bid price
Response 110 Under the EPA the project has accepted liability with respect toGreenhouse Gas charges fees or penalties for the life of theproject BC Hydro under the terms of the Asset TransferAgreement has committed to offset 50 of GHG emissions up toand including the year 2010
DPPLP has factored potential GHG liability into the bid pricebased on an in-depth review of the issue The project team spentconsiderable time reviewing understanding and assessing thepotential GHG liabilities from the facility Based on thisassessment the project incorporated an appropriate allowance forsuch potential liability

15 Page 3 A2 Please provide a rough breakdown of the $2 MM betweencash (or cash owed) and sweat equity
Response 15 DPP will have incurred direct development costs of approximately$2 million by mid-February 2005 This does not include the internalcosts or sweat equity of the sponsors or any costs from thevarious project stakeholders such as the EPC contractor the bankthe operations contractor etc All inclusive costs are estimated tobe well in excess of $2 million dollars over the period up to theaward and another $2 million over the three months from award tomid-February The above figures are conservative estimates
In addition to the expenses mentioned above DPP has made a $5million deposit related to the Asset Transfer Agreement and hasprovided development security of slightly over $30 million
16 Page 3 A3 Is sale of energy or capacity to Harmac or any party otherthan BC Hydro the intention of DPPLP
161 Are contractual arrangements with Harmac in place or underway
162 In DPPLPs opinion does BC Hydro have any contractual rightsunder its EPA to require DPPLP to sell this capacity or energy (orany part of it) to BC Hydro at any time
Response 16 Yes
161 No
162 Contractually BC Hydro has rights to 105 of 252 MW
17 Page 4 A3 How much additional capacity is available through duct firing
171 When will this capability be installed
172 What benefit if any will accrue to BC Hydro from such capability
173 If any of the plant components listed were upgraded to improveplant heat rate how would the resulting financial benefits be splitbetween BC Hydro and DPPLP
Response 17 Duct firing will provide approximately an additional 28-30Megawatts of capacity
171 All capacity will be operational by May 1 2007
172 The existence of capacity exceeding 105 of 252 MW providesextra insurance to BC Hydro that minor facility upsets in the
OMS Legal054046OOOO 1 19n044v3
- 4 -
operation of the plant will not adversely affect the availability of thecontracted capacity Such potential minor operational upsets willbe first absorbed by the additional duct fired capacity
173 The resulting costs and financial benefits would accrue 100 toDPPLP
18 Page 7 A7 DPPLP state there were no surprises in the CFT processPlease if and how DPPLP anticipated that the term of the EPA would bechanged from 10-25 years as in the original CFT documents to 25 yearsminimum with a BC Hydro unilateral option to extend to 35 years Pleasesimilarly explain why DPPLP expected that the Independent Revieweroriginally allowed to talk to bidders would later be forbidden to talk tobidders and vice-versa
Response 18 In the team members experience it is quite common for theoffering party to refine the terms of CFTRFP processes mid-course as objectives and constraints become better known and toreflect the input of potential bidders In DPPs view although therewere substantive changes to the EPA during the process theprocess itself reflected no dramatic departures from the originallyindicated path This comment also reflects the fact that all partieswere kept appraised of ongoing developments in order to ensurethat everyone remained on an equal footing Specifically thetransition to the 25-year term resulted in a term that is consistentwith the life of the assets With respect to the independentReviewer at the time that DPP became involved in the CFTprocess bidders were not able to communicate directly with theIndependent Reviewer
19 Page10A13
191 Is DPPLP taking the position that it was unaware that the BCUCmight reject the EPA if it found that as for VIGP BC Hydro hadfailed to demonstrate that this project is the most cost effectivesolution for the Vancouver Island capacity issue If so pleaseprovide evidence from the CFT documents that support thisposition
192 Is DPPLP taking the position that the terms and conditions of theEPA are irrelevant in the determination of whether this project is themost cost effective solution to the Vancouver Island capacity issueIf so please state why
193 Would DPPLP bid the same prices for the project if the terms andconditions of the EPA were (a) far harsher or (b) far looser asseen from the position of bidder
DMSLegal105404610000 111972044v3
-5 -
194 Philosophically is there a point of harshness in a CFT andEPA atwhich DPPLP would simply decline to bid
Response 191 No DPP notes that VIGP was not the result of a broad all-sources competitive process
192 No However DPP considers that the EPA must be considered inthe context of the market-based approach adopted for theacquisition of the needed capacity If it can be clearly shown thatthe EPA in its totality is fundamentally flawed then this findingshould be addressed by the Commission However DPP views apiecemeal revisiting of this EPA as inappropriate if not impossibleDPP is of the view that the most important aspect of any reviewbeing its fairness has been answered through the competitiveprocess as all bidders faced the same EPA Terms and Conditionsand consequently all bidders remained on an equal footing
The Commission could use this proceeding as an opportunity toprovide commentary for use in future competitive procurementprocesses in the Province
193 No any bid would obviously be influenced by the totality of thepackage offered by the EPA This is not solely a pricing issueBidders adopt technologies and configure their facilities to meet thetechnical requirements of the electrical system as reflected in anEPA This clearly would impact the quantum of the bid but itsprimary role is to ensure that the system adopts appropriatetechnology to meet its requirements
194 Depending on the circumstances yes
110 Under the terms of the DPPLP EPA please explain the extent to whichDPPLP is responsible for any Green House Gas charges fees orpenalties until 2010 and starting 2011 Please clarify whether DPPLPhas factored any such GHG liability into its bid price
Response 110 Under the EPA the project has accepted liability with respect toGreenhouse Gas charges fees or penalties for the life of theproject BC Hydro under the terms of the Asset TransferAgreement has committed to offset 50 of GHG emissions up toand including the year 2010
DPPLP has factored potential GHG liability into the bid pricebased on an in-depth review of the issue The project team spentconsiderable time reviewing understanding and assessing thepotential GHG liabilities from the facility Based on thisassessment the project incorporated an appropriate allowance forsuch potential liability

15 Page 3 A2 Please provide a rough breakdown of the $2 MM betweencash (or cash owed) and sweat equity
Response 15 DPP will have incurred direct development costs of approximately$2 million by mid-February 2005 This does not include the internalcosts or sweat equity of the sponsors or any costs from thevarious project stakeholders such as the EPC contractor the bankthe operations contractor etc All inclusive costs are estimated tobe well in excess of $2 million dollars over the period up to theaward and another $2 million over the three months from award tomid-February The above figures are conservative estimates
In addition to the expenses mentioned above DPP has made a $5million deposit related to the Asset Transfer Agreement and hasprovided development security of slightly over $30 million
16 Page 3 A3 Is sale of energy or capacity to Harmac or any party otherthan BC Hydro the intention of DPPLP
161 Are contractual arrangements with Harmac in place or underway
162 In DPPLPs opinion does BC Hydro have any contractual rightsunder its EPA to require DPPLP to sell this capacity or energy (orany part of it) to BC Hydro at any time
Response 16 Yes
161 No
162 Contractually BC Hydro has rights to 105 of 252 MW
17 Page 4 A3 How much additional capacity is available through duct firing
171 When will this capability be installed
172 What benefit if any will accrue to BC Hydro from such capability
173 If any of the plant components listed were upgraded to improveplant heat rate how would the resulting financial benefits be splitbetween BC Hydro and DPPLP
Response 17 Duct firing will provide approximately an additional 28-30Megawatts of capacity
171 All capacity will be operational by May 1 2007
172 The existence of capacity exceeding 105 of 252 MW providesextra insurance to BC Hydro that minor facility upsets in the
OMS Legal054046OOOO 1 19n044v3

operation of the plant will not adversely affect the availability of thecontracted capacity Such potential minor operational upsets willbe first absorbed by the additional duct fired capacity
173 The resulting costs and financial benefits would accrue 100 toDPPLP
18 Page 7 A7 DPPLP state there were no surprises in the CFT processPlease if and how DPPLP anticipated that the term of the EPA would bechanged from 10-25 years as in the original CFT documents to 25 yearsminimum with a BC Hydro unilateral option to extend to 35 years Pleasesimilarly explain why DPPLP expected that the Independent Revieweroriginally allowed to talk to bidders would later be forbidden to talk tobidders and vice-versa
Response 18 In the team members experience it is quite common for theoffering party to refine the terms of CFTRFP processes mid-course as objectives and constraints become better known and toreflect the input of potential bidders In DPPs view although therewere substantive changes to the EPA during the process theprocess itself reflected no dramatic departures from the originallyindicated path This comment also reflects the fact that all partieswere kept appraised of ongoing developments in order to ensurethat everyone remained on an equal footing Specifically thetransition to the 25-year term resulted in a term that is consistentwith the life of the assets With respect to the independentReviewer at the time that DPP became involved in the CFTprocess bidders were not able to communicate directly with theIndependent Reviewer
19 Page10A13
191 Is DPPLP taking the position that it was unaware that the BCUCmight reject the EPA if it found that as for VIGP BC Hydro hadfailed to demonstrate that this project is the most cost effectivesolution for the Vancouver Island capacity issue If so pleaseprovide evidence from the CFT documents that support thisposition
192 Is DPPLP taking the position that the terms and conditions of theEPA are irrelevant in the determination of whether this project is themost cost effective solution to the Vancouver Island capacity issueIf so please state why
193 Would DPPLP bid the same prices for the project if the terms andconditions of the EPA were (a) far harsher or (b) far looser asseen from the position of bidder
DMSLegal105404610000 111972044v3
-5 -
194 Philosophically is there a point of harshness in a CFT andEPA atwhich DPPLP would simply decline to bid
Response 191 No DPP notes that VIGP was not the result of a broad all-sources competitive process
192 No However DPP considers that the EPA must be considered inthe context of the market-based approach adopted for theacquisition of the needed capacity If it can be clearly shown thatthe EPA in its totality is fundamentally flawed then this findingshould be addressed by the Commission However DPP views apiecemeal revisiting of this EPA as inappropriate if not impossibleDPP is of the view that the most important aspect of any reviewbeing its fairness has been answered through the competitiveprocess as all bidders faced the same EPA Terms and Conditionsand consequently all bidders remained on an equal footing
The Commission could use this proceeding as an opportunity toprovide commentary for use in future competitive procurementprocesses in the Province
193 No any bid would obviously be influenced by the totality of thepackage offered by the EPA This is not solely a pricing issueBidders adopt technologies and configure their facilities to meet thetechnical requirements of the electrical system as reflected in anEPA This clearly would impact the quantum of the bid but itsprimary role is to ensure that the system adopts appropriatetechnology to meet its requirements
194 Depending on the circumstances yes
110 Under the terms of the DPPLP EPA please explain the extent to whichDPPLP is responsible for any Green House Gas charges fees orpenalties until 2010 and starting 2011 Please clarify whether DPPLPhas factored any such GHG liability into its bid price
Response 110 Under the EPA the project has accepted liability with respect toGreenhouse Gas charges fees or penalties for the life of theproject BC Hydro under the terms of the Asset TransferAgreement has committed to offset 50 of GHG emissions up toand including the year 2010
DPPLP has factored potential GHG liability into the bid pricebased on an in-depth review of the issue The project team spentconsiderable time reviewing understanding and assessing thepotential GHG liabilities from the facility Based on thisassessment the project incorporated an appropriate allowance forsuch potential liability

15 Page 3 A2 Please provide a rough breakdown of the $2 MM betweencash (or cash owed) and sweat equity
Response 15 DPP will have incurred direct development costs of approximately$2 million by mid-February 2005 This does not include the internalcosts or sweat equity of the sponsors or any costs from thevarious project stakeholders such as the EPC contractor the bankthe operations contractor etc All inclusive costs are estimated tobe well in excess of $2 million dollars over the period up to theaward and another $2 million over the three months from award tomid-February The above figures are conservative estimates
In addition to the expenses mentioned above DPP has made a $5million deposit related to the Asset Transfer Agreement and hasprovided development security of slightly over $30 million
16 Page 3 A3 Is sale of energy or capacity to Harmac or any party otherthan BC Hydro the intention of DPPLP
161 Are contractual arrangements with Harmac in place or underway
162 In DPPLPs opinion does BC Hydro have any contractual rightsunder its EPA to require DPPLP to sell this capacity or energy (orany part of it) to BC Hydro at any time
Response 16 Yes
161 No
162 Contractually BC Hydro has rights to 105 of 252 MW
17 Page 4 A3 How much additional capacity is available through duct firing
171 When will this capability be installed
172 What benefit if any will accrue to BC Hydro from such capability
173 If any of the plant components listed were upgraded to improveplant heat rate how would the resulting financial benefits be splitbetween BC Hydro and DPPLP
Response 17 Duct firing will provide approximately an additional 28-30Megawatts of capacity
171 All capacity will be operational by May 1 2007
172 The existence of capacity exceeding 105 of 252 MW providesextra insurance to BC Hydro that minor facility upsets in the

operation of the plant will not adversely affect the availability of thecontracted capacity Such potential minor operational upsets willbe first absorbed by the additional duct fired capacity
173 The resulting costs and financial benefits would accrue 100 toDPPLP
18 Page 7 A7 DPPLP state there were no surprises in the CFT processPlease if and how DPPLP anticipated that the term of the EPA would bechanged from 10-25 years as in the original CFT documents to 25 yearsminimum with a BC Hydro unilateral option to extend to 35 years Pleasesimilarly explain why DPPLP expected that the Independent Revieweroriginally allowed to talk to bidders would later be forbidden to talk tobidders and vice-versa
Response 18 In the team members experience it is quite common for theoffering party to refine the terms of CFTRFP processes mid-course as objectives and constraints become better known and toreflect the input of potential bidders In DPPs view although therewere substantive changes to the EPA during the process theprocess itself reflected no dramatic departures from the originallyindicated path This comment also reflects the fact that all partieswere kept appraised of ongoing developments in order to ensurethat everyone remained on an equal footing Specifically thetransition to the 25-year term resulted in a term that is consistentwith the life of the assets With respect to the independentReviewer at the time that DPP became involved in the CFTprocess bidders were not able to communicate directly with theIndependent Reviewer
19 Page10A13
191 Is DPPLP taking the position that it was unaware that the BCUCmight reject the EPA if it found that as for VIGP BC Hydro hadfailed to demonstrate that this project is the most cost effectivesolution for the Vancouver Island capacity issue If so pleaseprovide evidence from the CFT documents that support thisposition
192 Is DPPLP taking the position that the terms and conditions of theEPA are irrelevant in the determination of whether this project is themost cost effective solution to the Vancouver Island capacity issueIf so please state why
193 Would DPPLP bid the same prices for the project if the terms andconditions of the EPA were (a) far harsher or (b) far looser asseen from the position of bidder
DMSLegal105404610000 111972044v3
-5 -
194 Philosophically is there a point of harshness in a CFT andEPA atwhich DPPLP would simply decline to bid
Response 191 No DPP notes that VIGP was not the result of a broad all-sources competitive process
192 No However DPP considers that the EPA must be considered inthe context of the market-based approach adopted for theacquisition of the needed capacity If it can be clearly shown thatthe EPA in its totality is fundamentally flawed then this findingshould be addressed by the Commission However DPP views apiecemeal revisiting of this EPA as inappropriate if not impossibleDPP is of the view that the most important aspect of any reviewbeing its fairness has been answered through the competitiveprocess as all bidders faced the same EPA Terms and Conditionsand consequently all bidders remained on an equal footing
The Commission could use this proceeding as an opportunity toprovide commentary for use in future competitive procurementprocesses in the Province
193 No any bid would obviously be influenced by the totality of thepackage offered by the EPA This is not solely a pricing issueBidders adopt technologies and configure their facilities to meet thetechnical requirements of the electrical system as reflected in anEPA This clearly would impact the quantum of the bid but itsprimary role is to ensure that the system adopts appropriatetechnology to meet its requirements
194 Depending on the circumstances yes
110 Under the terms of the DPPLP EPA please explain the extent to whichDPPLP is responsible for any Green House Gas charges fees orpenalties until 2010 and starting 2011 Please clarify whether DPPLPhas factored any such GHG liability into its bid price
Response 110 Under the EPA the project has accepted liability with respect toGreenhouse Gas charges fees or penalties for the life of theproject BC Hydro under the terms of the Asset TransferAgreement has committed to offset 50 of GHG emissions up toand including the year 2010
DPPLP has factored potential GHG liability into the bid pricebased on an in-depth review of the issue The project team spentconsiderable time reviewing understanding and assessing thepotential GHG liabilities from the facility Based on thisassessment the project incorporated an appropriate allowance forsuch potential liability

operation of the plant will not adversely affect the availability of thecontracted capacity Such potential minor operational upsets willbe first absorbed by the additional duct fired capacity
173 The resulting costs and financial benefits would accrue 100 toDPPLP
18 Page 7 A7 DPPLP state there were no surprises in the CFT processPlease if and how DPPLP anticipated that the term of the EPA would bechanged from 10-25 years as in the original CFT documents to 25 yearsminimum with a BC Hydro unilateral option to extend to 35 years Pleasesimilarly explain why DPPLP expected that the Independent Revieweroriginally allowed to talk to bidders would later be forbidden to talk tobidders and vice-versa
Response 18 In the team members experience it is quite common for theoffering party to refine the terms of CFTRFP processes mid-course as objectives and constraints become better known and toreflect the input of potential bidders In DPPs view although therewere substantive changes to the EPA during the process theprocess itself reflected no dramatic departures from the originallyindicated path This comment also reflects the fact that all partieswere kept appraised of ongoing developments in order to ensurethat everyone remained on an equal footing Specifically thetransition to the 25-year term resulted in a term that is consistentwith the life of the assets With respect to the independentReviewer at the time that DPP became involved in the CFTprocess bidders were not able to communicate directly with theIndependent Reviewer
19 Page10A13
191 Is DPPLP taking the position that it was unaware that the BCUCmight reject the EPA if it found that as for VIGP BC Hydro hadfailed to demonstrate that this project is the most cost effectivesolution for the Vancouver Island capacity issue If so pleaseprovide evidence from the CFT documents that support thisposition
192 Is DPPLP taking the position that the terms and conditions of theEPA are irrelevant in the determination of whether this project is themost cost effective solution to the Vancouver Island capacity issueIf so please state why
193 Would DPPLP bid the same prices for the project if the terms andconditions of the EPA were (a) far harsher or (b) far looser asseen from the position of bidder
DMSLegal105404610000 111972044v3

194 Philosophically is there a point of harshness in a CFT andEPA atwhich DPPLP would simply decline to bid
Response 191 No DPP notes that VIGP was not the result of a broad all-sources competitive process
192 No However DPP considers that the EPA must be considered inthe context of the market-based approach adopted for theacquisition of the needed capacity If it can be clearly shown thatthe EPA in its totality is fundamentally flawed then this findingshould be addressed by the Commission However DPP views apiecemeal revisiting of this EPA as inappropriate if not impossibleDPP is of the view that the most important aspect of any reviewbeing its fairness has been answered through the competitiveprocess as all bidders faced the same EPA Terms and Conditionsand consequently all bidders remained on an equal footing
The Commission could use this proceeding as an opportunity toprovide commentary for use in future competitive procurementprocesses in the Province
193 No any bid would obviously be influenced by the totality of thepackage offered by the EPA This is not solely a pricing issueBidders adopt technologies and configure their facilities to meet thetechnical requirements of the electrical system as reflected in anEPA This clearly would impact the quantum of the bid but itsprimary role is to ensure that the system adopts appropriatetechnology to meet its requirements
194 Depending on the circumstances yes
110 Under the terms of the DPPLP EPA please explain the extent to whichDPPLP is responsible for any Green House Gas charges fees orpenalties until 2010 and starting 2011 Please clarify whether DPPLPhas factored any such GHG liability into its bid price
Response 110 Under the EPA the project has accepted liability with respect toGreenhouse Gas charges fees or penalties for the life of theproject BC Hydro under the terms of the Asset TransferAgreement has committed to offset 50 of GHG emissions up toand including the year 2010
DPPLP has factored potential GHG liability into the bid pricebased on an in-depth review of the issue The project team spentconsiderable time reviewing understanding and assessing thepotential GHG liabilities from the facility Based on thisassessment the project incorporated an appropriate allowance forsuch potential liability

194 Philosophically is there a point of harshness in a CFT andEPA atwhich DPPLP would simply decline to bid
Response 191 No DPP notes that VIGP was not the result of a broad all-sources competitive process
192 No However DPP considers that the EPA must be considered inthe context of the market-based approach adopted for theacquisition of the needed capacity If it can be clearly shown thatthe EPA in its totality is fundamentally flawed then this findingshould be addressed by the Commission However DPP views apiecemeal revisiting of this EPA as inappropriate if not impossibleDPP is of the view that the most important aspect of any reviewbeing its fairness has been answered through the competitiveprocess as all bidders faced the same EPA Terms and Conditionsand consequently all bidders remained on an equal footing
The Commission could use this proceeding as an opportunity toprovide commentary for use in future competitive procurementprocesses in the Province
193 No any bid would obviously be influenced by the totality of thepackage offered by the EPA This is not solely a pricing issueBidders adopt technologies and configure their facilities to meet thetechnical requirements of the electrical system as reflected in anEPA This clearly would impact the quantum of the bid but itsprimary role is to ensure that the system adopts appropriatetechnology to meet its requirements
194 Depending on the circumstances yes
110 Under the terms of the DPPLP EPA please explain the extent to whichDPPLP is responsible for any Green House Gas charges fees orpenalties until 2010 and starting 2011 Please clarify whether DPPLPhas factored any such GHG liability into its bid price
Response 110 Under the EPA the project has accepted liability with respect toGreenhouse Gas charges fees or penalties for the life of theproject BC Hydro under the terms of the Asset TransferAgreement has committed to offset 50 of GHG emissions up toand including the year 2010
DPPLP has factored potential GHG liability into the bid pricebased on an in-depth review of the issue The project team spentconsiderable time reviewing understanding and assessing thepotential GHG liabilities from the facility Based on thisassessment the project incorporated an appropriate allowance forsuch potential liability

The Rebis system is also used for process design It containsprocess and data management modules to prepare PampIDsinstrument lists and data sheets that are all interlinked Information ismanaged by the smart system thereby reducing errors
Our 3D design has proven to reduce design error thereby reducingcostly re-work by construction craft
The power division is currently initiating a program to also useIntergraph and PDS for 3D design
Communication Tools
We utilize modern communications tools which assist projectexecution
Our Video Conferencing Facilities

Video Conferencing helps facilitate communication with theproject team We find it very useful for weekly project meetingsprocess design review with the Owner and project managementmeetings
aCE Document Management - OCE is a brand name for a printmanagement and document archive system It provides anefficient effective means for viewing and printing a large variety ofdocuments and image files Once images have been stored andcatalogued they can be easily searched for and retrieved forviewing andor printing from local network drives Moreover thesystem enables owners or the construction site direct access toelectronic drawings specifications and vendor drawings Remotesites are set up so they can search the project vault select thedocument they require and plot at their location
We have seen this system effectively shorten the turn-around timebetween construction and engineering and create significantconstruction savings

Video Conferencing helps facilitate communication with theproject team We find it very useful for weekly project meetingsprocess design review with the Owner and project managementmeetings
aCE Document Management - OCE is a brand name for a printmanagement and document archive system It provides anefficient effective means for viewing and printing a large variety ofdocuments and image files Once images have been stored andcatalogued they can be easily searched for and retrieved forviewing andor printing from local network drives Moreover thesystem enables owners or the construction site direct access toelectronic drawings specifications and vendor drawings Remotesites are set up so they can search the project vault select thedocument they require and plot at their location
We have seen this system effectively shorten the turn-around timebetween construction and engineering and create significantconstruction savings

Architectural
As discussed in Section 10 Cochrane Engineering is affiliated withPBK Architects and the two firms work seamlessly to providemultidisciplinary services where and when required PBK is capableof preparing renderings of plant facilities for permitting publicdiscussions and regulatory approvals Included below is a renderingPBK did for our recent Eletrobolt Project in Brazil It was part of apackage that was used for regulatory permitting and was developedelectronically from our 3D Model used for the design of the facility
PBK Architects also provided design services to layout the offices andmaintenance warehouse shop for a 1200 MW combined cycle plantin Arkansas
Having in-house architects enable our project team to have interactivediscussions between the Engineer Owner and the Architect so thatwe may be able to present a cost-effective structure meeting publicdemands and regulatory requirements
