10 METROPOLITAN UTILITIES DISTRICT Inter-Department Communication September 20, 2018 Subject: To: From: CAPITAL EXPENDITURES Committee on Construction and Operations cc: all Board Members, Doyle, Mendenhall, Schneider, Ausdemore, Stanley and all Vice Presidents Ron K. Reisner, Senior Vice President, Chief Operations Officer The following items will be on the October 3, 2018, Committee Agenda for consideration and the October 3, 2018, Board Agenda for approval: INFRASTRUCTURE REPLACEMENT/RELOCATIONS Contracted Gas Cast Iron Replacement Jobs , $1,865, st to 72 nd Sts., Spaulding to Maple Sts , $2,347, th Ave. to 63 rd St., Sprague to Maple Sts , $1,534, nd Ave. to 50 th St., Vinton St. to , $2,295, rd to 48 th Sts., "D" to "Q" Sts. $8,044,200 Approval is being requested for the four gas infrastructure replacement projects listed above. These projects represent the total number of projects planned for construction by an outside contractor in There will be two low-pressure regulator stations and approximately 138,570 feet (26.2 miles) of mains abandoned on these projects and approximately 122,435 feet (23.2 miles) of main installed. In addition, there will be approximately 2,860 residential and 70 commercial services replaced at an estimated cost of $3,890,000. This work will be included in the 2019 budget. Approval for the remainder of the gas infrastructure work to be completed in 2019 is expected to be requested at the January Board Meeting. SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS $128,711 - Install 470 feet of 6-inch water main, Decatur Street from 33r<1 to 34 th Streets. This main is being installed in accordance with the District's Infill Main Policy to prevent additional private lines along Decatur Street, reinforce the distribution system and improve fire flows in the area. Habitat for Humanity has requested water service for 3306 Decatur Street and will pay $14,663 toward the infill main. This payment represents approximately 11.4% ofthe estimated cost of the main. The District has the potential to recover about 89% of its cost of $114,048 through future connections to this main. BUILDINGS, PLANTS AND EQUIPMENT $57,500 - Installation of thermal network cameras at LNG. During the March 2018 Department of Homeland Security (OHS) site visit, inspectors with OHS identified the need for detection capabilities at the perimeter of restricted areas in order to

11 detect threats near the plant's critical infrastructure. The current system is over 15 years old, has reached its useful life, is costly to repair, and creates numerous daily false alarms which require security staff investigations. This request is to replace the existing fence protection system (wire fence cabling) surrounding the entire north side of the LNG Plant with eight thermal network cameras. This camera system will provide video surveillance of the entire perimeter fence supporting the existing microwave detection system currently in place and $251,000 - Purchase 100 additional licenses for Click Scheduling and 200 additional licenses for Open Text. ClickSoftware is the District's enterprise-level Field Services and Dispatch scheduling software. ClickSoftware assists users in decision making, improving execution and maximizing the efficiency of the workforce with the help of artificial intelligence and mathematical optimization. The key features included in ClickSoftware are job forecasting and shift management, scheduling and dispatch, performance measurement, and mobile functionality. The additional 100 licenses are for increased scheduled work specifically pertaining to Measurement and Construction. OpenText Extended Management is being used throughout the District for document and records management. The file plans of the various departments as well as the retention schedules are being used to manage the documents. A strict records and document management policy is being adhered to within the whole organization managed by archive services. OpenText allows the District to classify the document according to the file plan, as well as manage it according to the retention schedule for that file plan. Access control of the folder and individual files ensures only necessary people can have the right type of access. This is especially important in our environment where document management is critical. The additional licenses are required for Board Documents, Human Resources, Accounting, Claims and engineering documents for Field Services and Construction $90,000- Replace/upgrade SCADA Human Machine Interface (HMI) hardware and software at Platte South. As part of the SCADA HMI infrastructure replacement plan, HMI servers, workstations and associated software are replaced every five years in order to improve reliability and performance, and reduce disruptions. The plan is to perform this on a five-year cycle with one site/department per year $640,000 - Purchase four replacement CNG regular cab tandem axle dump truck chassis for Construction. The requested chassis will replace similar diesel powered vehicles that are less reliable and no longer economical to maintain. Request for approval of the dump bodies will come at a future date. The requested chassis will be powered by dedicated CNG engines and include 52 diesel gallon equivalent (DGE) saddle tanks that will be mounted along the frame rails and below the cabs. Dump trucks are used for moving construction material and debris, transporting backhoes and other related equipment and vital for gas and water emergencies $85,000 - Purchase one additional mini-excavator for use in Construction. This requested mini-excavator will be used primarily by Construction gas crews in tight and restricted areas associated with gas infrastructure replacement and repairs. This type of equipment minimizes disturbance to surfaces and landscaping and can be used in extremely congested areas.

12 $52,000 - Resurface motor base for no. 4 high service pump at Florence. The 3,250 horse power no. 4 electrical motor, which weighs approximately 30,000 pounds, was rewound in The motor has a pedestal mount frame with six mounting contact points. At the time the motor was returned for installation, the base mounting surfaces were found to be out of plane and at different elevations. The pedestal mounting surfaces were temporarily shimmed to allow the motor to be returned to service. This project will include field machining the pedestal mounting surfaces for the no. 4 pump motor as was recently done for the no. 2 and 3 electrical motors. This is a best practice installation for the motor and will prevent the motor from moving out of alignment while in operation $100,000 - Filter building and electrical building roof replacement at 117 th and Fort Propane Air Plant. This project will include the removal and replacement of the filter building and electrical building roofs at the 117 th and Fort Propane Air Plant. The current roofs, which are actively leaking and show significant signs of deterioration, are over 30 years old and have not been under warranty for several years.
