AI summary
- NSPI confirmed that Capital Expenditures Work Order L7004 (transmission line deteriorated replacements, $2,467,028 approved amount) was completed between July and October 2010, with work scheduled around line availability as directed by the System Operator (IR-1).
- Attachment 1 to IR-2 provides itemized materials listings for Work Orders 267771, 267772, and 267773, totalling approximately $218,668, $205,464, and $99,711 respectively, covering poles (55'–85' Class 2 penta-treated), insulators, crossarms, guy wire, and associated hardware.
- NSPI explained that the $226,954 increase from the ACE 2010 budget was due to post-budget scoping that identified additional poles, crossarms, and insulators required to complete the project — characterizing it as a refinement of estimate with no change in project scope (IR-3).
- Regarding the Affiliate Transactions question (IR-4), NSPI confirmed that construction work was performed by Emera Utility Services (EUS) under a 2008–2010 master agreement awarded through competitive solicitation in 2007; NSPI stated the agreement was not modified or extended and would expire December 31, 2010, at which point the revised Code of Conduct would apply to any new affiliate contract.
- Contract pricing in IR-5 was redacted for confidentiality; NSPI acknowledged that the hourly rate cited on page 7 of the approval request was incorrect, clarified the applicable transmission rate, and estimated approximately 8,750 Standard Work Unit Hours for the project.
