Manhattan O&M interference costs for RYI, RY2 and RY3
and capital interference costs for the period 2010-

to reduce its interference costs; 6) impact of Federal
Stimulus funds on projected interference expenditures;
and 7) a proposal for bilateral reconciliation of
interference O&M expenses.
Please summarize your testimony.
When a municipality performs work, such as installation
or repairs to water mains, sewers and drainage
facilities, reconstruction of roadways, curbs and
sidewalks, and if the work affects the Company’s gas
facilities, Con Edison must bear the costs to support
and protect its facilities. The forecasted amount of
O&M interference costs (other than for Lower Manhattan)
is $19.36 million for the Rate Year, and $18.02 million
and $13.22 million for RY2 and RY3, respectively.
Spending in the historic year for O&M interference
costs was $ii million. The Company’s increased
interference forecast is driven by New York City’s
forecast. The Company calculates its forecasted

expenditures based on New York City’s forecast of its
infrastructure expenditures as reflected in the City’s
January 2009 Capital Commitment Plan.
The Company’s capital interference costs are the
capital expenditures incurred when the Company is
required to remove and relocate Company gas facilities
to a new location due to direct interference with
proposed City or other municipal facilities. The
Company’s forecast for capital interference costs for
gas (other than for Lower Manhattan) for calendar years
2010-2013 is $33.24 million, $26.68 million, $24.54
million and $24.6 million, respectively, equating to an
average expenditure forecast of $27.26 million, which
is approximately 8.4 percent below the average actual
expenditure of $29.8 million for the period 2005-2008.
The methodology utilized in forecasting Lower Manhattan
O&M expenditure is different from the method used to
forecast expenditures in other areas, which we explain
later in our testimony. Therefore, as in previous rate
cases, the forecast for Lower Manhattan expenditures
are being presented separately in this rate filing.
What are the forecasts for Lower Manhattan O&M and
capital expenses?

The forecast for Lower Manhattan ("World Trade Center"
or "WTC") interference O&M expenditures for RYI, RY2
and RY3 is approximately $3.15 million, $3.11 million
and $2.89 million, respectively. Spending in the
historic year for lower Manhattan was $1.2 million.
The forecast for Lower Manhattan Capital expenditures
for calendar years 2010 through 2013 is approximately
$4.56 million, $6.33 million, $8.46 million and $8.4
million, respectively. The forecast for O&M and
capital expenditures for Lower Manhattan are higher
than the historlc year expenditures due to the
increased bidding activity and awarding of projects,
which are addressed later in our testimony.
Our testimony explains the steps the Company takes to
mitigate the costs associated with interference work,
including using Joint Bidding for Lower Manhattan
projects.
Our testimony next discusses potential expenditures
associated with projects funded by the Federal Stimulus
package which are not reflected in the Company’s
projections.

municipalities determine, programs over which the
Company has no direct control, the Company proposes

INTERFERENCE
Please explain interference.
Con Edison has an extensive system of gas mains,
services, and appurtenances of various sizes, within
the streets of its service territories, which includes
Manhattan, Queens, Bronx, and Westchester County.
These facilities share the space under the streets with
other facilities, such as telephone and cable TV, owned
by private utility companies, and sewer, water and
traffic facilities owned by New York City and other
municipalities. When an entity plans to perform work
and is prevented from completing the proposed plan due
to other facilities being in the way, the term
"interference" is used.
Is ther4 more than one kind of interference?
Yes. Interference can be direct or indirect. A direct
interference is where an existing Con Edison facility
must be located, identified, removed and reinstalled at
a new location in order to accommodate and provide
space for a new City or other municipal facility.

An indirect interference requires the Company to
identify the location of Company facilities, monitor
construction work, and take steps necessary to support
and protect Company facilities, which sometimes
requires the Company to temporarily relocate its
facilities.
Please explain interference expenses as they relate to
Gas Operations.
If a private entity, like the telephone company,
performs work in the vicinity of the Company’s gas
facilities, and Con Edison determines that the gas main
or service needs to be supported, protected, adjusted
or relocated to accommodate the work of the private
entity, then the private entity is required to bear
this cost.
However, if the City of New York or another
municipality performs work, such as installing or
repairing a sewer or water main in the vicinity of Con
Edison’s gas facilities, then Con Edison must bear the
costs to move, replace, support and protect these
facilities affected by the construction activity.
Another component of interference expense is the cost
the Company incurs to support and protect or modify its
facilities during the course of a municipal public

improvement project. For example, when a City street
is repaved or the pavement around Con Edison’s
facilities is modified, raising or lowering of
castings (e.g., castings of valve boxes) may be
required. The costs that the Company incurs to raise
or lower these castings are also considered to be a gas
interference expense.
What type of municipal construction activities cause
interference with gas facilities?
The typical public improvement activities that affect
Company gas facilities are the installation of water,
sewer and drainage facilities, reconstruction of roads,
bridges, curbs and sidewalks, and, as mentioned above,
the repaving of roadways.
How often does the Company have to support, protect
and/or relocate its gas facilities?
On any given day, there are hundreds of municipal
projects being planned, engineered, or constructed
within our service area. These projects are initiated
by such organizations as the Department of Design and
Construction ("DDC"), Department of Transportation
("DOT" , Department of Environmental Protection

various municipalities in Westchester County. The
projects may be planned or may be emergency activities,
such as a response to a sewer or water main break.
However, any excavation needed for these City/Municipal
project activities can potentially impact the gas
facilities located in that area and, therefore, may
present interference.
The Company’s engineering groups work with these State
and local agencies to try to m±nimize the impact of
municipal projects on gas facilities. However, due to
the heavy congestion of various underground facilities
within the streets, in many cases, there is simply no
way to avoid the interference.
Is New York City the primary municipality that drives
the level of the Company’s interference expenditures?
Yes. The City of New York’s Capital Infrastructure
Improvement Program is the primary driver of the
Company’s interference expenditures, both for capital
and O&M. Other municipalities also perform this work,
but on a much smaller scale.

MARK FOR IDENTIFICATION AS EXHIBIT (MISP-I
What does this exhibit show?
This exhibit shows the Company’s forecast of gas
interference O&M expenses for the Rate Year and the
capital interference forecast for the period 2010-2013.
For O&M, it is forecasted that the Company will spend
an estimated $19.36 million, excluding labor, in the
Rate Year. This is approximately $8.34 million higher
than O&M expenditures incurred during the historic year
(12 Months Ending June 30, 2009).
Can you explain why the Company is forecasting an
increase in O&M expenditures in the Rate Year?
The City’s actual and forecasted expenditures for
infrastructure improvement projects have significantly
increased over the last several years. Actual
infrastructure improvement project expenditures have
increased from $635 million in 2006 to $732 million in
2008 (See Exhibit (MISP-2), page 2 of 5).
Similarly, the City’s forecasts have jumped from $610
million in 2006 to $958 million in 2008 (See Exhibit
MISP-2 , page 2 of 5). For 2009, the City’s forecast

has once again increased to approximately $I billion
(See Exhibit (MISP-2) page 2 of 5).
The City’s forecasted level of expenditures is the main
driver for the Company’s interference forecast in rate
cases. However, the Company’s actual gas interference
expenditures are also affected by the amount of
infrastructure work undertaken by the City and the
concentration of Company facilities at the locations
where City work is performed.
Since the City’s projections have increased, as have
their expenditures, we believe that the current higher
projections by the City for the Rate Year will
translate into higher interference expenditures. While
the Company works with the City to try to minimize
Company costs, the City’s plans and the actual level of
infrastructure work undertaken by the City is not
within the Company’s control. In the same vein, we
note that these City forecasts do not take into account
any of the significant infrastructure improvement
expenditures that are anticipated as a result of
Federal Stimulus funding, which we discuss later in our
testimony.

Is the methodology the Panel uses to forecast
interference expenses consistent with the methodology
utilized by the Company to forecast its interference
expenditures in Case 06-G-13327
Yes. We used the same overall approach to develop our
forecast as we did in Case 06-G-1332 with a minor
adjustment in the way we calculate the NYC commitment
target. In the prior Gas Rate Case, we utilized the
Commitment Target from a single year corresponding to
the Commitment Plan for that same year in preparing our
forecast. However, in this filing, we have used a
Commitment Target based on a five-year average of prior
NYC Commitment Targets. This change was recommended by
Staff in Case 07-E-0523 and adopted by the Company in
order to smooth out year-to-year fluctuations in the
Commitment Targets. For the reasons explained below,
the Company continues to believe that this methodology
is reasonable and appropriate.

Does the City develop a forecast for its infrastructure
expenditures?
Yes. New York City publishes its five-year Capital
Commitment Plan ("Commitment Plan") three times a year,
in April, September and January. This plan describes
anticipated infrastructure projects and includes all
project costs that the City expects to commit in each
of the upcoming fiscal years for all the different
categories of reconstruction work that the City e~pects
to undertake.
The City’s Commitment Plan also includes a Commitment
Target. Commitment Targets are set because the City
realizes that not all planned projects will actually be
undertaken and completed.
Does the Company base its forecast on the City’s
Commitment Plan?
Yes. The Company reviews the City’s proposed forecast
for the categories in the Commitment Plan defined as
Water, Sewer, Highway and Bridge projects. Since these
four City expenditure categories have the greatest
impact on Company facilities, the projected
expenditures for these categories are extracted from
the Commitment Plan.

Why does the Company use the City’s Commitment Plan in
developing the Company’s forecast for O&M interference
expenditures?
Over the years, Con Edison has determined that there is
a proportional relationship between its gross
interference expenditure and the City’s Capital
infrastructure improvement expenditures. Since the
City is in the best position to determine what its
future expenditures will be, the Company relies on the
City’s Commitment Plan, which sets forth the City’s
forecast of its infrastructure improvement
expenditures.
You mentioned that the Company proposes to use a multi-
step approach to estimating these expenses.

expenditures to the Company’s total interference
expenditures
In Case 09-E-0428, did the Company propose adding a
fifth step to its forecast methodology, which it
described as a "Mitigation Factor?"
Yes.
Why is the Company not proposing a similar step in this
proceeding?
The purpose of the mitigation factor, as indicated by
its name, was to reduce the amount of interference
costs reflected in rates resulting from the City’s
increased projection of expenditures in its Commitment
Plan (subject to reconciliation, as proposed by the
Company, in the event the City did spend the higher
amount). Unlike the lower forecast which resulted from
applying this factor to the Company’s electric
interference expenditures, applying this same factor to
gas interference expenditures results in a higher
forecast. The mitigation factor is a ratio of the
actual gas O&M expenditure versus the gas O&M budget,
and in this case the mitigation factor is greater than
I00 percent which would result in a higher request.

Therefore, the Company is not applying this factor to
its gas interference costs.
Please explain in greater detail the four-step
me~hodology used to calculate the Rate Year
interference forecast.
The first step in the Company’s methodology is the
development of the modified Commitment Target. The
City’s Commitment Target forecast reflects the projects
that are expected to be engineered, bid, and awarded
for each fiscal year. In the City’s Commitment Plan,
published in January 2009, the Commitment Target varies
among the three City agencies, DDC, DOT and DEP, whose
projects primarily impact the Company’s interference
expenses. The January 2009 Commitment Targets for DOT
and DDC is 66 percent. However, the Commitment Target
for DEP (water and sewer projects) is I00 percent.
This means that the City is forecasting that it will
expend 66 percent of the Commitment Plans for DDC and
DOT and I00 percent for DEP. Therefore, a weighted
average was calculated to be approximately 80%.

Company facilities, which are Water, Sewer, Highway and
Bridges. The bridge category is then separated into
Highway Bridges and Waterway Bridges because we realize
that not all waterway bridge projects will have an
impact on our interference expenditures. In this rate
filing, none of the Waterway Bridge projects are
currently expected to have an impact on the gas
interference expenditure and we have zero dollars
allocated as shown on Exhibit (MISP-2) page i. The
total amount for these five categories is $1.44 billion
for 2009 and $1.6 billion for 2010, which is then
multiplied by 67.4 percent, the average of the
Commitment Targets in each of the last five January
Commitment Plans for the years 2005-2009.
The Company used the average as a representation of the
Commitment Plan targets, instead of simply relying on
the current year. This smoothes out fluctuations that
may occur from year to year and better reflects the
typical Commitment Target level over time. However, as
discussed later, since the Commitment Plan target for
any year can vary significantly from the average, a
circumstance over which the Company has no control, a
reconciliation mechanism to protect both customers and
the Company from material variations is warranted.

Is there a particular area in which the City’s
forecasted expenditures is expected to rise
significantly?
Yes, you will note that we have utilized a weighted
average of 80 percent in our calculations for the
City’s Commitment Target (see Exhibit (MISP-2) page
1 of 6). The 80 percent City Commitment Target is
higher than it has been recently, when it has averaged
between 63 - 66 percent. This increase in the weighted
average for the Commitment Target is due to the fact,
which we noted earlier, that the City’s Commitment
Target for DE? is i00 percent. DEP budget lines WM-I,
WM-6, and sewers are being fully funded by the City at
i00 percent.
Do you have a reasonable degree of confidence that the
expected DEP expenditures will materialize?
A. Yes. Based on the DEP projects that are fully
funded and for which work is scheduled to occur during
the Rate Year, we are reasonably confident these
expenditures will materialize. The following are
examples of some of the DEP projects that are fully
funded and for which work has been scheduled for the
Rate Year: Distribution water main projects in Bronx
and Manhattan, Trunk Water mains and water main in

Please describe the splitting of the bridge category
mentioned above under the first step.
The City’s Commitment level for Bridges is the sum of
expenditures forecasted for highway bridges and
waterway bridges. We know bridges over waterways have
Company facilities on them. However, impact to Company
facilities will depend upon the individual bridges
involved and the type of work being undertaken by the
City. Based on these criteria, we separated the Bridge
category into Highway Bridges and Waterway Bridges.
Upon reviewing the.work proposed by the City in this
category, we determined that the work for the waterway
bridges would have no impact on our facilities for 2009
through 2013.
Please continue.
As shown on Exhibit (MISP-2, page 1 of 5), the
Company’s first step in its calculation results in a
projected City expenditure target of $971 million,
$1082 million, $948 million, $452 million and $973
million for fiscal years 2009-2013, respectively.
Please describe the second step, development of the
City’s "actual" infrastructure expenditure forecast.

io In the second step, in order to further refine the
forecast, the Company compared the City’s forecast (as
reflected in the Commitment Plan from January of the
previous fiscal year) to the City’s actual expenditures
and averaged the results of this comparison for the
past five years to develop a City expenditure factor of
91.9 percent. This comparison shows that, on average,
over the last five years (2004-2008), 91.9 percent of
the City’s January Commitment Plan forecast resulted in
actual City expenditures. This calculation is shown in
Exhibit (MISP-2, p. 2 of 5), and results in
projected City expenditures of $893 million, $994
million, $871 million and $416 million for fiscal years
2010-2013, respectively.
For the third and fourth steps, has the Company found
any correlation between the City’s infrastructure
expenditures and the Company’s interference costs?
Yes. The Company’s actual interference costs as a
percentage of the City’s actual expenditure averaged
approximately 11.8 percent over the last five years
2004-2008. The 11.8 percent factor, as shown in
Exhibit (MISP-2, p. 3 of 5), is the five-year
average (2004-2008) of the Company’s gross interference

expenditure compared to the City’s actual expenditures
for the five categories mentioned above.
The Company has also developed a ratio for the gas
expenditure to total Company interference expenditures.
The most current five-year average, 2004-2008, of
actual gas interference expenditures to the Company’s
actual gross interference expenditures is 22 percent.
The 22 percent factor, as shown in Exhibit (MISP-2,
p. 4 of 5), is the percentage of the Company’s
interference expenditure associated with gas facilities
compared to the gross interference expenditure for all
items combined. This process is demonstrated in
Exhibit (MISP-2, p. 1 of 5).
What is the forecast that results from these
computations?
By applying these percentages to the last quarter of
2010 and the first three quarters of 2011, the Company
derived the total Gas interference forecast of $19.36
million for RYI, excluding Company labor. Exhibit __
(MISP-2, page 1 of 5) also provides the forecast for
RY2 and RY3, excluding Company labor. The City’s
forecasted expenditure target of approximately $971
million and $1.082 billion in fiscal years 2009 and
2010, respectively, is driving the Company’s increased

interference forecast. As the Company has noted, these
costs are largely beyond the Company’s control. The
increase in the City’s forecast coupled with the
inability of the Company to control these costs
underscores the need for a reconciliation mechanism,
discussed later in our testimony.
Does the Company propose to update the forecast of
interference expenses during this rate case?
Yes. New York City’s Capital Commitment Plan is
generally published in January, April and September of
each calendar year. Our testimony and exhibits were
prepared based on the City’s commitment plan published
in January 2009. We propose to update our forecast
utilizing the January 2010 Commitment Plan.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES (OTHER THAN LOWER MANHATTAN)
What is the interference Gas capital expenditure
forecast?
The interference Gas capital expenditure forecast for
the period 2010-2013, based on our estimate, is $33.24
million in 2010, $26.68 million in 2011, $24.54 million
in 2012 and $24.6 million in 2013, as shown on Exhibit
(HISP-i).

The average forecasted Gas Capital expenditure for 2010
- 2013 expenditure is approximately $27.26 million,
which is approximately 8.4 percent below the Company’s
Gas capital average expenditure of $29.79 million for
calendar years 2005 - 2008.
Does the Company’s forecast include projects that could
receive Federal Stimulus funding?
No. This forecast does not take into account projects
that could potentially be introduced due to the
anticipated availability of Federal Stimulus funds.
The impact of stimulus funds and the Company’s
reconciliation proposals will be addressed later in
this testimony.
Is the methodology the Company uses to forecast capital
expenses the same as that used to forecast O&M?
No. Unlike the O&M projection, which is calculated
based on the City’s infrastructure expenditure
forecast, the forecast for capital interference
expenses is based on the estimated cost of projects
contained within the New York City Commitment Plan.
The Company also relies on information obtained in
meetings with various City agencies, specifically the
DDC, concerning future projects.

Q. Why does the Company utilize a different methodology
for calculating capital expenses?
A. Because unlike O&M expenses, the Company could not
establish a consistent correlation between its capital
expenditures and the City’s expenditures. Therefore,
the forecast for capital interference expense is based
on order of magnitude estimates of projects contained
within the Commitment Plan. These estimates are
supplemented with information the Company obtains from
various City agencies, specifically the NYC Department
of Design and Construction, to derive our forecast.

The Company’s O&M expenditure forecast for Lower
Manhattan is $3.15 million, $3.11 million, and $2.89
million for RYI, RY2 and RY3, respectively. The Lower
Manhattan Capital expenditure forecast is $4.56 million
for 2010, $6.33 million for 2011, $8.46 million for
2012 and $8.4 million for 2013.
What was the historic year expenditure for O&M in Lower
Manhattan?
The historic year O&M expenditure was $1.2 million.
Why the difference between the historic year expense
and the Rate Year forecast?
The overall list of projects that need to be completed
for Lower Manhattan and their scopes have not changed.
However, the prolonged delay in bidding, awarding and
commencing field work resulted in lower than forecasted
expenditures for the historic year. The current pace
for bidding and awarding of projects is picking up.
This accelerated pace of work is demonstrated in
Exhibit (MISP-7), which shows the current bidding
schedule for Lower Manhattan work. Generally, once
projects enter the bidding cycle, contracts are awarded
and work begins within a few months. The projects that
did not materialize during the historic year coupled

increase expenditures in future years. Our forecast
takes into consideration the shifting of these
expenditures.
Explain the methodology used to calculate the
interference cost for Lower Manhattan.
The City provided a listing of projects with
anticipated starting dates and the type of the projects
for the Lower Manhattan area. Based on this list, we
developed order of magnitude estimates for O&M and
capital work for each project given the Company’s past
experience with similar jobs in the Lower Manhattan
area. Our estimate reflects the unique nature of the
work required in Lower Manhattan.
Please explain the difference in the work in Lower
Manhattan.
Through the years, most of the new facilities in Lower
Manhattan have been installed on top of existing active
and abandoned facilities. As a result, there is
significant underground congestion with layers upon
layers of facilities in Lower Manhattan. The federal
financing for Lower Manhattan projects, which is used
to defray the costs the City incurs for the rebuilding
of Lower Manhattan roadways, requires the roadways to
be constructed to meet Federal DOT specifications.

This means a 7-inch curb reveal (the distance between
the top of the curb and the roadway surface) must be
achieved. To attain the 7-inch curb reveal, the
current level of the roadway has to be lowered, which
requires the lowering of Company facilities. This
requires the removal of abandoned facilities and then
rearranging and lowering active facilities to provide
adequate space for lowering the roadway. Consequently,
extensive removal work is required for these projects,
which generally comes at a higher cost to perform
interference work relative to areas outside of Lower
Manhattan.
Are there any other reasons why the methodology used
for calculating Lower Manhattan interference expenses
is different from the methodology used to calculate all
other interference expenses?
Yes. For areas outside of Lower Manhattan, the
majority of interference work is being done under the
bid protocol called Section U, which is Section U of
the DDC contract. However, the work in Lower Manhattan
is being implemented under a different protocol called
"Joint Bid." Under Joint Bid, the utility interference
work is included in the City bid document and is
competitively bid by the contractors bidding the City

project. This protocol was introduced by State
Legislation specifically for the work funded by the
Federal Government in Lower Manhattan and was accepted
by the City of New York and all the major utility
companies operating in the City. The City and the
utilities spent approximately two years establishing
the detailed process for Joint Bid and the first
project under this protocol was bid in late 2007. At
this point, due to the early stages of this work, there
is no historic data available to develop a methodology
to forecast future interference expenditures as a
percentage of the City’s forecast. In addition to
higher levels of underground congestion, the narrower
than normal roadways in Lower Manhattan are also a
complicating factor, which precludes the development of
a generic mathematical formula to forecast future
expenditures. For the foregoing reasons, we are
forecasting our future interference costs on an
individual project estimate basis.

mitigation measures. In addition, and as discussed in
more detail below, given the nature of interference
work and the fact that this work (and related
expenditures) is largely driven by factors outside of
the Company’s control, the opportunities for mitigation
measures are, consequently, limited. However, over the
past eight or so years, the Public Improvement
department has implemented several aggressive
initiatives to mitigate interference costs, and they
are as follows:
Expansion of the Joint Bidding Contracting Format:
Currently, the Joint Bidding contracting concept is
restricted to Lower Manhattan which was initiated
through State legislation. The Company initiated
discussions with NYC DDC to apply the joint bidding
concept to other locations in Manhattan and eventually
to expand the concept to all boroughs. The City has
introduced legislation in Albany to increase the areas
for joint bidding and as this proposal moves through
the legislature, the Company will work on its enactment
in the legislature. This concept is seen as the best
method of obtaining competitive pricing, minimizing
schedule delays, mitigating community impact and
apportioning costs fairly.

Strengthening Public Improvement Engineering:
Engineering is our first line of defense in cost
mitigation and therefore, we have increased our in-
house resources and structured engineering’s
functioning to maximize efficiency. Engineering
interfaces with various agencies during the initial
design and planning phases of a project, and has the
first opportunity to study the agencies’ scope of work.
Engineering performs an in-depth analysis of the work
scope to determine the type and nature of the
interference and to quantify it. During the planning
phase of agency projects, Engineering may
suggest/request and discuss possible scope changes to
minimize interferences and request accommodations.
Then the Section U package is prepared quantifying the
interference items and identifying their locations.
This package is submitted to the agency to be included
in the Section-U of their contract document. Almost
always, the time available to perform the above-
mentioned functions is less than thirty days. Hundreds
of projects of varying size and complexity are
engineered by various agencies during any given fiscal
year in this short time period. Recognizing the
importance of performing a thorough engineering

analysis and issuing a quality Section U package for
every project led to the initiative to increase
internal resources and established access to external
resources, if required.
Aggressive Arbitration Strateqy: Section U is the
section in the City contract for infrastructure work,
where the utilities identify and quantify the
interference scope of work. The protocol for Section U
is established jointly by the City of New York and the
major utilities operating in the City. Under the
protocol, the contractor of record for any Section U
project Should negotiate and reach an agreement with
the utilities prior to the start of the project. If an
agreement cannot be reached, the matter is submitted
for arbitration and the result is final and binding.
Another goal served by the studies/surveys and the
negotiating team concept is to support efforts to
successfully challenge contractors in arbitration if
the pricing offered by the contractor is out of line
with fair market value. To date, the Company has an
approximate 90 percent success rate when we have
arbitrated these projects.

Maximize Number of Section-U Projects: The Section U
protocol provides the Company with certain limited
leverage to negotiate a fair market price with the City
agency contractors for the Company’s portion of
interference work. Projects are not automatically
classified as Section U unless certain engineering
requirements are met. Through the efforts of the
Engineering department to meet City requirements, the
Company has been able to maximize the number of
interference projects under Section U.
Conduct Studies and Surveys: Since the protocol for
dealing with underground interferences is unique,
particularly in the City of New York, it does not
easily lend itself to benchmarking with other
utilities. This led Public Improvement to seek the
assistance of experts in the field, to conduct
independent studies to provide guidance in determining
fair market value for interference items of work and
best construction practices based on the latest
technology. In addition, we also conducted periodic
surveys utilizing internal Company resources to
ascertain the latest methodology utilized by roadway
contractors in implementing certain tasks. This
information allows the Company to update estimating

pricing structure and keeps the Company current with
the latest technology and methodologies.
Negotiating Team: The negotiating team concept has
been extremely successful since its inception in 2001.
The team consists of the estimator, the project
engineer, the borough manager and the borough project
specialist. The estimator is the lead and the common
individual for all negotiations irrespective of the
borough. This helped the enforcement of uniform
pricing for same work items throughout the boroughs and
also forced the reduction of prices for certain items
that resulted from the studies and surveys.
Maximize Lump Sum Agreements: Our experience
demonstrates that lump sum agreements generally result
in lower total project cost.as compared to unit price
agreements. Therefore, we prefer and promote lump sum
agreements. For the past three years, approximately 76
percent of agreements are of the lump sum type. The
added advantage of lump sum agreements is that it
allows our field personnel to concentrate primarily on
preventing damage to our facilities instead of
negotiating for extra work on a piecemeal basis.
Structure Department Functions for Maximum Efficiency:
We restructured the Public Improvement Department to
maximize efficiency. One recent example of this

restructuring was the creation of an independent sub-
section in Engineering Services to focus on Emergency
Sewer and Water projects as well as borough wide Test
Pitting. The Emergency Sewer and Water personnel focus
on "relining" of a sewer instead of a larger more
costly "open cut." We work with the DEP on making this
change to a project after we perform timely rigorous
test pitting in advance of Engineering to properly
identify interference relationships with other
utilities and verify the accuracy of our maps and
records. As a result, we benefit through consistent
pricing of contractor work as the section uses a
"borough wide" approach rather then each borough being
independent.
We have also created an office in Lower Manhattan that
focuses on work in this area as their primary mission.
FEDERAL STIMULUS FUNDING
Do the Company’s O&M and capital forecasts include
interference costs associated with Federal Stimulus
funds?
No. Our O&M and capital forecasts do not include
expenditures that may result from Federal Stimulus
funds that may be awarded to municipalities, in
particular, New York City. The information that is

currently available relating to Federal Stimulus
funding for City projects is preliminary in nature. As
the Company obtains more information over the course of
this proceeding regarding specific funding amounts and
projects, it will update its forecast as permitted
under Commission policies. However, absent reflecting
the preliminary forecast relating to stimulus funding
(set forth below) to set rates in this proceeding, it
would be unreasonable for the Company to bear the risk
of materially increased expenditures associated with
stimulus funding. Accordingly, additional expenditures
related to Federal Stimulus funds provides further
support for a bi-lateral reconciliation mechanism for
O&M and for a deferral mechanism for capital relating
to stimulus projects (as proposed in the testimony of
the Company Gas Operations Panel), which could be very
significant and are outside of the Company’s control.
If the proposed reconciliation and deferral mechanisms
are rejected, the Company’s forecasts used to set rates
should be increased to reflect the preliminary
estimates set forth below.
Does the Company have a list of projects planned to be
funded by the Federal Stimulus funds?

Yes. The Company has a preliminary list of projects,
published by the City of New York, identifying the
projects to receive stimulus funds, which is presented
as Exhibit (MISP-4). This document was obtained
from the City’s website.
Has the Company prepared a preliminary interference
forecast for the Federal Stimulus projects?
Yes. The Company has prepared a preliminary order of
magnitude forecast based on a project by project review
of the scope identified in the City’s listing of
projects receiving direct stimulus funding shown in
Exhibit (MISP-4).
MARK FOR IDENTIFICATION AS EXHIBIT (MISP-4)
Was the exhibit entitled "GAS O&M AND CAPITAL FORECAST
FOR STIMULUS PROJECTS" prepared under your supervision
and direction?
Yes, it was.
MARK FOR IDENTIFICATION AS EXHIBIT (MISP-5)
What does this exhibit demonstrate?
This exhibit lists projects receiving direct stimulus
funding and projects receiving displaced funding (i.e.,
money from the City’s capital funds, which is now

projects). This exhibit also shows the City’s total

project cost for each project, the stimulus funding for
each project, and the pre-stimulus funding from the
City’s capital funds. The difference between the total
project cost and the pre-stimulus funding is the amount
that will impact the Company’s interference
expenditures. This amount is allocated between 2009
and 2013 based on the bid and completion dates
identified in the City’s report.
We then utilized the same methodology applied in
determining the O&M interference costs, as shown on
Exhibit (MISP-2) to calculate the potential impact
stimulus funding would have on Company’s interference
expenditures. Based on our calculations the forecasts
for RYI, RY2 and RY3 would be increased by
$i million, $0.86 million and $0.41 million,
respectively. In addition to the O&M component, these
projects will also have a capital component. The
capital forecast is also shown on Exhibit (MISP-5).
Due to the lack of preliminary design information, the
capital cost is calculated as a percentage of the O&M
expenditure. The percentage was derived by comparing
the past five year capital expenditures to the
corresponding O&M expenditures, which results in a
ratio of 159 percent. The capital expenditure forecast

RECONCILIATION
Is there a reconciliation mechanism in the current Rate
Plan?
Yes. The current Rate Plan has a full two-way
reconciliation mechanism with a 90/10
(customer/Company) split for any variance from spending
levels provided in rates.
What is the Company proposing in this Rate Case?
The Company proposes to continue the reconciliation
mechanism under the current rate plan.
Why is the Company proposing to continue the
reconciliation mechanism under the current rate plan?
In past rate filings and for the reasons discussed
above, the Company has consistently argued that
reconciliation of interference expenditures is
appropriate due to the nature of these costs. Recent
circumstances relating to Federal Stimulus funding,
which we discuss above, lends further support to our
observation that in any one year, the Company’s costs

can dramatically increase for reasons outside of its
control.
Is the Company also proposing to reconcile gas
interference O&M costs for Lower Manhattan projects?
Yes. Like other interference costs, the Company’s
forecast of expenditures for Lower Manhattan projects
is driven by the City’s forecasted projects and
estimated costs and the City’s actual execution of its
program. These costs are not directly within the
Company’s control. Therefore, the Company proposes to
utilize a single reconciliation mechanism (as described
above) that would include O&M interference expenditures
both for areas outside of Lower Manhattan and for Lower
Manhattan.
How is reconciliation for Lower Manhattan O&M
expenditures treated under the current gas rate plan?
Under the current gas rate plan (Case 06-G-1332) the
Company did not request reconciliation for gas O&M
expenditures in Lower Manhattan because at the time
that case was settled, the Company was still eligible
for reimbursement for its WTC expenditures, under the
Lower Manhattan Development Corporation’s Partial
Action Plan $2. Since the provisions for reimbursement
