BUSINESS SERVICE AGREEMENTS

  1. Iris Communications - Public Affairs - Corporate Services Division. For Iris Communications Web Site maintenance and updates for 2002. Terms and conditions of original Business Service Agreement (Contract 1371) remain the same. Amount requested is $23,000. Contact person is Lance Robertson, 484-2411, ext. 3316.

Contract award of Bid #002-2002 to Geo-Tech Explorations, Inc. for the drilling of four (4) monitoring wells and two (2) production wells and the associated pump testing. Geo-Tech was the lowest responsive bidder that met the minimum experience qualifications in the specifications. The Geo-tech bid was in the amount of $449,000.00 and our engineer's estimate was for $591,700. The 2002 budget for the drilling is $590,000. This will allow for any additional contingent expenses should they arise. Contact Jay Bozievich, 684-4759 or E-Mail Jay Bozievich

  3. Residential DSM Resources Program/Low-Income Weatherization - Lane County Housing and Community Services Agency (HACSA) - Energy Management Services - Customer Services Division. Renewal of Intergovernmental Agreement between EWEB and HACSA. HACSA has installed weatherization measures for 3,815 low-income households in EWEB's service territory since mid-1980's. Currently, Bonneville Power Administration offers funding for low-income weatherization to Community Services Agencies, like HACSA, provided those agencies have matching utility funds. This updated agreement includes EWEB's ongoing commitment to provide matching funds to HACSA, plus a provision for additional funding from EWEB for weatherization of low-income households that typically have a lengthy waiting period of up to two to three years due to federal priority restrictions. The annual budget amount below represents a combination of increased matching funds and additional funding referenced above, and not an increase to the utility budget. This five-year contract represents full weatherization services to approximately 1,500 low-income households in EWEB's service territory. Cost of the contract is up to $425,000 annually, or $2,125,000 over 5 years. Contract Kathy Grey, 484-2411, ext. 3049.
