He explained that, 33 through the diligent oversight oft the purchasing agent (Jim Hadlow), BL&P had an option to 34 get onto an emergency order with Anixter for thirty (30) 50 KVA transformers. These 35 transformers will be used to replace damaged or leaking transformers on the system and 36 future construction projects throughout the City. Thirty (30) of the 501 KVA transformers 37 were purchased at at total bid price of$106,650. (A similar purchase was made in March 38 2021 and the cost of the transformers was 40% lower - evidence oft the dramatic changes in 39 today's supply chain. The purchase in 2021 had an 18-week delivery date; the order we are 40 currently placing will not be delivered until November 2022. Itis the staff recommendation 41 that this purchase be approved.

Thel Department is well stocked with commodities 5 needed (masks, sanitizers, etc.) should conditions worsen. He noted that we will be 6 following the lead that the Governor has set in moving to a "steady state" position -1 testing 7 sites will close, and the healthcare system in the State is refocusing on disease surveillance, 8 data collection and reporting, vaccinations, and public awareness. 9 11 10 ENCHANT POWER SALES AGREEMENT Mr. Johnson noted that it was anticipated that an Enchant Power Sales Agreement 12 would be ready for consideration at this meeting, buti it is not ready. The project is still 13 moving forward, the San Juan project will continue to operate through September, and iti is 14 anticipated that the Enchant project (carbon capture project at San Juan) will start running 15 October1 1, 2022. 17 RESOURCE UPDATE 16 18 Mr. Johnson reported that in addition to CRSP resources being restricted and more 19 expensive, another major blow by the restriction ofthis resource is the loss of ability to 20 schedule power and very little patterning ability compared to what we have had in the past. 21 Hei reported that we received 48 percent of the anticipated power for December and January 22 and will be receiving approximately 60j percent of our budgeted power for February and 23 March. These are the months when CRSP has been our basic firm resource in the past. He 24 suggested that Lake Powell will not recover for at least two years. He did note that Echo 25 and Pineview (smaller reservoirs) can could come back sooner and provide 100 percent of 26 what is budgeted. 27 28 The Red Mesa solar project will be delayed due to solar panels not being available - 29 a Covid supply chain issue. Itis anticipated that commercial operation will not begin until 30 November or December 2022. The STEEL project should be on line in December of 2022 31 also. Gaps in our resources will be covered by the plant. He noted that gas is most 32 expensive in the winter. One oft the factors ini the cost of gas is the transportation (by 33 Dominion Energy) and the amount they will wheel for us is limited. IPP has been called 34 back and we will need tol know by June how much we will need for next year. 35 36 Mr. Johnson then reported that the San Juan project is scheduled to shut down in 37 October 2022. The Enchant project is still a coal-fired project, taking San Juan resource 38 using a grant from the Federal Government to do carbon capture. Itisa anticipated that a 39 contract with Enchant will be approved by UAMPS in April and the City will need to act 40 after the UAMPS meeting. Approval oft the carbon capture project has been delayed until 41 2025. 42 43 45 UAMPS is still working on the Muddy Creek project (reclaiming power from the IPP repowering is still scheduled to be online June 2025, anticipated to be able to run 44 Kern River pipeline), but it is not moving very quickly. 46 30%1 hydrogen.
