No, we have not received any information from Gulf Power. Gulf's technical
group has proposed two or three different configurations that do not agree with our Substation Design and Description package that was submitted back in Nov. or Dec. of 2000. My understanding of the issue/s really revolves around the "reliability" and the turn around time if a breaker or something like that breaks. Our design offers a much quicker turn around in the event of a failure (or lightning strike). The approach that Gulf's technical group is taking is causing our technical support from ET&S to be consuming much more resources and will end up costing ECS relative to the Project Management agreement with ET&S. I'm concerned about this because my understanding was that ET&S was providing some oversight and updates to ECS regarding the substation. It now seems more like a technical debate / negotiation that I felt was already defined. Chris, I believe we may need to approach our counterparts at Gulf should this issue not be totally resolved by the end of this week. mk To: Mark Knippa/HOU/ECT@ECT, Chris Hilgert/HOU/ECT@ect cc: Subject: Gulf Power Construction Progress Have you guys received any information from Gulf Power concerning regular updates on the construction? Jeff indicated that Gulf would be willing to provide updates monthly. If we haven't heard from Gulf, we need to push them to provide this info.
