NSEB Board Staff issued five information requests to Nova Scotia Power regarding its $1,987,397 application to approve the IT-Renew Microsoft Enterprise Agreement (CI C0082133).
AI summary
- Board Staff (IR-1) asked whether any Nova Scotia Power affiliates are involved in the project and, if so, the scope of that involvement and the value of benefits exchanged between NSP and those affiliates.
- IR-2 requests the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) analysis be re-submitted in Excel format with all formulas and cells intact, enabling staff to verify the cost build-up underlying the $1,987,397 capital estimate.
- IR-3 probes a labour-cost inconsistency: NSP's prior Microsoft renewal (CI C0047294 / M11166) overran its regular-labour budget by $12,758, yet the current application allocates more resources (though fewer hours) to regular labour, despite a reportedly similar scope of work.
- IR-4 questions why NSP has budgeted Capital Expenditures-related AFUDC (Allowance for Funds Used During Construction) for this renewal when no such amount was included in the comparable prior matter (M11166).
- IR-5 asks NSP to explain why the unit quantities for four specific Microsoft licence components—SQL Server Enterprise Core, SQL Server Standard Core, Win Remote Desktop Services, and Win Server Standard Core—differ from those procured under the prior renewal.
