BUSINESS SERVICE AGREEMENTS

1. Ecotope Inc. - Energy Management Services - Commercial Energy Smart Conservation - Customer Services Division. This applies to an unsolicited proposal from Ecotope Inc. The proposal addresses the most common type of non-residential "rooftop" HVAC equipment, which are typically found on 50-80 percent of commercial facility floor area in the Pacific Northwest. Based on our experience and elsewhere with commercial buildings, a large majority of rooftop systems are found to be operating under conditions than significantly compromise optimal efficiency performance. The proposed work would include collecting data, performing diagnostics and repair and establish a protocol for efficiency to improve the energy performance of commercial rooftop HVAC systems in EWEB's service territory. The proposal targets approximately 30 buildings and would measure, check and repair compressor performance, economizers, air flow, damper settings, test for duct air leakage and make appropriate repairs. Buildings selected would utilize any existing AMR data to the fullest extent possible and billing data to assist in the development of Energy Use Indexes (EUIs) and measure pre- and post-energy performance of the units. The protocol developed from the project would then be used to apply to our overall DSM acquisition strategy to build on our partnerships with local HVAC contractors. Amount of the contract is $80,000. Contact person is Mike Logan, 484-2411, ext. 3061.

This Amendment is for the Annual (2001) Inclinometer Readings within the Leaburg Canal Landside Areas. This work is mandated by the FERC. Contract amount is $14,000.

VEHICLE ACQUISITION

1. Brian Bickmore Auto Dealership - Vehicle Acquisition - Facilities Services. In February the Board approved a contract to purchase 8 bi-fuel propane/gas powered Ford F150 pickup trucks from the State of Oregon vehicle purchase contract. We have just been informed by the Ford dealer that the Ford Motor Company is still producing bi-fuel powered pickup trucks that were ordered in year 2000 and they will be unable to make delivery of EWEB's 8 vehicles this year. These vehicles are needed this year to replace worn out vehicles for the Customer Service field personnel. Approval of this Contract award will cancel the previous Ford contract award and order 8 - 3/4 ton short-bed Dodge pickups from Brian Bickmore Dodge of Portland, also from the State of Oregon vehicle purchase contract. The Dodge pickups can be delivered in 3-4 months but must be ordered by May 1 which is the ending date of the State vehicle purchase contract. The Dodge pickups will total approximately $12,000 less than the bi-fuel Ford pickups already approved. The $12,000 will be used to buy DOE alternate fuel vehicle credits that will permit EWEB to purchase Honda Insight or Toyota Pirus (70 mpg gas/electric powered cars) in 2002 to replace worn out passenger vehicles. Amount of the Contract is $172,279. Contact person is Tom Buckhouse, 484-2411, ext. 3263.
