  2. L.H. Morris - Residential Demand-Side Management Resources Program - Energy Management Services - Customer Services Division. In 1998, EWEB awarded L. H. Morris the contract for installing energy-efficient electronic thermostats in electrically heated residences. This requested increase completes the current contract for installation of electronic thermostats on March 31, 2002. A new competitive bid contract for this work in 2002 has been let and will close on March 15, 2002. No additional budget funds are being requested. Energy-efficient electronic thermostats are installed in non-low-income and low-income residences with zonal electric heat (ceiling cable, baseboards, and wall units). Non-low income customers pay the full cost of installation. EWEB picks up the full cost of installation for eligible low-income customers. Approximately $37,000 of this increase will be spent on installations for low-income customers. Cost of the contract is $125,000. Contact Kathy Grey, 484-2411, ext. 3049.

  3. Bill Print & Mail Operations - Annual renewal of document composition software license (DOCI) used to format and print bills - Information Services - Corporate Services. Cost of the license is $31,209.75. Contact person is Greg Armstead, 484-2411, ext. 3761.

  4. Montgomery Watson Harza (MWH) - Trailbridge Spillway Expansion - Electric Division. Staff recommends executing a contract with Montgomery Watson Harza Engineering for performance of geotechnical investigation and analysis of Trailbridge Dam, preliminary design of an emergency spillway, and development of USFS mitigation plans. The spillway expansion is required by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Part 12, Subsection D dam safety regulations, in order to safely pass Probable Maximum Flood waters through the dam. Harza, of MWH, has performed the last two Part 12 inspections, developed design alternatives and facilitated approvals by the FERC. Their performance thus far has been excellent and their knowledge of the project requirements makes them uniquely qualified to continue with this next phase. The cost of this work is not to exceed $37,700. Contact person is Jerry Hohman at 341-8510
