ATTACHMENT #1 Utility Committee Meeting of 02/12/2007 LOCATION/AREA MAP PHOTO: College Road Distribution Substation LOCATION & AREA MAP: FISCAL YEAR : 2008 PROJECT NO: 0 DE STATE UNIV. PRI. STD. HOUSING CATEGORY: Electric College Road Substation DEPARTMENT: Public Utilities - Electric Eng DEPT. RANKING: 6 NEW PROJECT: No WESTMINISTER VILLAGE PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project involves the redesign of the College Road Substation. NEED, JUSTIFICATION, BENEFIT: Dover has been continuously growing to the north and west side of town. CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING OR ELIMINATING THIS PROJECT: Increased system losses, low voltage problems on peak system times, and lack of supply for future subdivisions. In the event of a failure of either the Division Street or the Dover Downs substation we cannot support the load from other substation locations. This station would provide redundancy for these stations as well as reduce the load on the current stations which would decrease system losses, increase the voltage to the customers location, and provide service to new developments in the immediate area. THIS PROJECT IS RELATED TO THE FOLLOWING: Comprehensive electric development plan. EXPLANATION OF IMPACT ON OPERATING BUDGET: n/a TIME-LINE/CURRENT STATUS: Substation to be on line by the summer of 2008.

ATTACHMENT #2 Utility Committee Meeting of 02/12/2007 map, clip art, or photo goes here Title: McKee Run Substation Transformer FISCAL YEAR(S): 2007 PROJECT NO: CATEGORY: DEPARTMENT: DEPT. RANKING: NEW PROJECT? YES NO PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Replace non-functional Substation Transformer (612-20-3) located at the McKee Run which was damaged during a generation start up error. The cost of this project may be offset by an insurance payment from North American Energy Services (NAES); however, this issue has not been settled at this time. NEED, JUSTIFICATION, BENEFIT: If the City were to have a failure with the remaining transformer (6922-2000-2) there is no electrical path to serve the 22Kv transmission system. At St. Jones the 12Kv load could be served from other locations; however, the 4Kv load could not be served from any alternate location as this is the last 4Kv station in the City. The 4Kv load at St. Jones feeds the State Office Complex, Wesley College, and the residents/business in between; these customers would be out of service for an indefinite period of time. CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING OR ELIMINATING THIS PROJECT: Exposure to a large, long-term outage. THIS PROJECT IS RELATED TO THE FOLLOWING: EXPLANATION OF IMPACT ON OPERATING BUDGET: N/A TIME-LINE/CURRENT STATUS: COMMENTS: FIVE-YEAR COST BREAKDOWN SCHEDULE: Prior to 2008 FY 2008 FY 2009 FY 2010 FY 2011 FY 2012 After 2012 TOTAL Planning and Design 20000 20000 Land Construction 90000 90000 Miscellaneous Equipment 240000 240000 Other TOTAL 350000 350000 FINANCING: Prior to 2008 FY 2008 FY 2009 FY 2010 FY 2011 FY 2012 After 2012 TOTAL TOTAL 350000 350000 IMPACT ON OPERATING BUDGET: Description Prior to 2008 FY 2008 FY 2009 FY 2010 FY 2011 FY 2012 After 2012 TOTAL 9

ATTACHMENT #3 Utility Committee Meeting of 02/12/2007 LOCATION/AREA MAP PHOTO: Transmission Relaying, Replacement, and Calibrations FISCAL YEAR : 2008 PROJECT NO: 0 CATEGORY: Electric DEPARTMENT: Public Utilities - Electric Eng DEPT. RANKING: 5 NEW PROJECT: Yes PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Replace and calibrate all transmission line and transmission substation relays. NEED, JUSTIFICATION, BENEFIT: By replacing and calibrating the transmissions lines and substation relays, the City can maximize system protection, and eliminate the nuisance tripping of the transmission lines. The City has experienced several large transmission outages over the past year (the latest was January 13, 2006) due to miss-coordination and operation of the existing relays. Due to the loop feed configuration of our system the protection scheme is very complex and the existing relays do not provide the accuracy of settings as the new microprocessor relay would allow. Additionally, the existing relays are approximately 35 years old and operate as an electric/mechanical device, which means they have very course settings and are high maintenance. The replacement relays are microprocessor based and provide a much more accurate control over breaker operations; resulting in superior protection with almost no maintenance requirements. This will benefit both customer service and the continued revenue source of KWH. CONSEQUENCES OF DELAYING OR ELIMINATING THIS PROJECT: Loss of revenue, reduction of system reliability, and an increase in system outages. THIS PROJECT IS RELATED TO THE FOLLOWING: Breaker Replacement EXPLANATION OF IMPACT ON OPERATING BUDGET: n/a TIME-LINE/CURRENT STATUS: Engineering to begin in July 2007, project to be completed by July 2009. COMMENTS: The contract with Shaw EDS will be used for engineering services.
