(Cherian) As Section Manager, I manage the Municipal

Infrastructure Support O&M and Capital budgeting and

expenditure tracking process. Part of my function is

to manage the Engineering Estimating process, which

prepares estimates for interference related O&M and

Capital projects. In addition, I am responsible for

What is the purpose of the Panel’s testimony?

Our testimony addresses: (I) the meaning of

"interference" as it relates to Con Edison’s Gas

system; (2) Operation and Maintenance ("O&M")

interference costs associated with the Company’s gas

facilities (other than for Lower Manhattan) for the

rate years ending September 30, 2011 ("Rate Year" or

with the Company’s gas facilities (other than for Lower

Manhattan) for the period 2010-2013; (4) Lower

Manhattan O&M interference costs for RYI, RY2 and RY3

and capital interference costs for the period 2010-

2013; 5) mitigation measures the Company has undertaken

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.

Finally, since the Company’s interference forecast is

based on municipal infrastructure programs that the

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

("DEP" , Department of Parks, Bureau of Bridges and the

Economic Development Corporation, in addition to the

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.

Yes, this exhibit was prepared under our supervision

and direction.

MARK FOR IDENTIFICATION AS EXHIBIT (MISP-2)

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.

4. applying a factor reflecting the ratio of gas

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%.

For purposes of further refining the interference O&M

forecast, the Company extracted from the January 2009

City Commitment plan the City’s forecast amounts for

four specific categories of projects that impact

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

Manhattan and Queens and trunk water main connections

to the shaft in Manhattan.

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).

How does the forecast compare to the previous years’

actual Gas capital expenditures?

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

with the new projects to be bid and awarded will

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.

MARK FOR IDENTIFICATION AS EXHIBIT (MISP-6)

What does this exhibit demonstrate?

This exhibit lists the O&M and Capital forecasts

associated with the two programs discussed above. The

total O&M forecast (i.e., both within and outside Lower

Manhattan) for RYI, RY2 and RY3 is $22.52 million,

$21.13 million and $16.11 million, respectively. The

total capital for 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 is $37.8

million, $33 million, $33 million and $33 million,

respectively.

MITIGATION MEASURES

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?

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

for calendar years 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 would be

increased by $2.13 million, $2.19 million, $0.56

million and $1.75 million, respectively.

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

have expired, going forward the Company is requesting

reconciliation for WTC Gas O&M expenditures.

Does this conclude the Panel’s initial testimony?

Yes, it does.
