Since that time, there have been no adjustments to the preliminary budget. The current budget reflects a 4.5% grid shift for non -union employees and a general wage adjustment of 4.5% for union members.

Below are some of the significant entries. Salaries and Benefits had a large December 2023 increase due mostly to a YE GASB entry for PERA liablilities which increased expenses in 2023 by $174,465 split $130,848 to electric and $43,617 to gas. The 2024 entry has not been done yet as the PERA report is not out yet. It is expected that PERA investments did better this year so HUC expenses could go down as a result. If the PERA liability goes down then HUC's expense will go down as well. This is a non -cash entry. Another year-end entry that does not affect cash but is required is a mark to market adjustment to adjust the value of HUC investments. Investments that are at lower interest rates than the current market rates will see a decrease in market value. This was especially apparent in 2022 because of the dramatic rise in interest rates. The end result for 2022 was a significant declince in HUC's investment portfolio value. However, since HUC holds investments to maturity these losses based on current market values will not be realized. The investments rebounded some in 2023 and again in 2024 with more steady interest rates. The difference in the journal entries with the 2023 entry reversal is $113,980 split equally between divisions.

The utility recognizes its obligation to provide interconnection to eligible qualifying facilities and will comply with all applicable laws and rules governing distributed energy resources. For purposes of this policy, the following terms have the meanings given them: A. Average retail energy rate - the average of the retail energy rates, exclusive of special rates based on income, age, or energy conservation, according to the applicable rate schedule of the utility for sales to the class of customer of which the customer/qualifying facility belongs. B. Avoided costs -the incremental costs to the utility of electric energy or capacity or both which, but for the purchase from the qualifying facility, the utility would generate itself or purchase from another source. C. Contract -the written agreement between the customer/qualifying facility and the utility, as established in the utility's Rules Governing Interconnection of Cogeneration and Small Power Production. D. Distributed energy resource (DER) - a distributed generation system incorporated with or without an electric storage system. E. Interconnection application - the form to be used by the customer to submit its formal request for interconnection to the utility and which shall be substantially similar in form to that contained in the Distributed Energy Resources Interconnection Process adopted by the utility. F. Interconnection rules - any applicable rules developed in accordance with Minnesota Statutes §§216B.164 and 216B.1611. This includes the utility's Rules Governing Interconnection of Cogeneration and Small Power Production. It also includes the utility's Distributed Energy Resources Interconnection Process which includes its Simplified Process, Fast Track Process, and Study Process as well as the technical requirements incorporated therein or any future technical requirements adopted by the utility. G. Measured capacity - for purposes of determining capacity, it shall be measured based on the highest fifteen (15) minute average demand of the unit in any one billing period. H. Net metering/net billing -the process whereby the customer and the utility compensate each other based on the difference in the amount of energy each sells to the other at the net metered facility. I. Net metered facility - an electric generation facility constructed for the purpose of offsetting energy use through the use of renewable energy or high efficiency generation sources with a capacity of less than 40 kilowatts that has elected in writing to be compensated for excess generation through net metering/net billing. J. Total generator nameplate capacity - the nominal voltage (V), current (A), maximum active power (kWac), apparent power (WA), and reactive power (kvar) at which a distributed energy resource (DER), is capable of sustained operation. For a qualifying facility with multiple units, the total generator capacity is equal to the sum of all individual DER units' nameplate rating in the qualifying facility. The DER system's total generation capacity may, with the utility's agreement, be limited thought use of control systems, power relays or similar device settings or adjustments as identified in IEEE 1547. The customer must fully, accurately and completely disclose in its interconnection application to the utility, the technical specifications for any capacity limiting device contemplated and the customer shall furnish the utility with any factory manuals or other similar documents requested from the utility regarding such limiting or other control devices which factor into the calculation of total generator capacity. K. Qualifying facility - a cogeneration or small power production facility which satisfies the conditions established in Code of Federal Regulations, title 18, part 292. The qualifying facility must be owned by a customer of the utility and located in the utility service area. L. Utility— Hutchinson Utilities Commission. In the event an inconsistency exists between terms in this policy and those established by applicable statute, rule or court order, then the definition so established shall supersede the definition used in this policy and shall govern. All customers are eligible for distributed generation, interconnection with the utility's distribution system and application of net metering upon the following terms and conditions. 1. The customer must meet the eligibility requirements set forth in the federal Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (PURPA) *18 C.F.R. 292.303, 292.304 and Minnesota's distributed generation laws. Minn. Stat. §216B.164. 2. The customer shall complete, sign and return to utility either the Interconnection Application or the Simplified Process Application in the form prescribed in the utility's Distributed Energy Resources Interconnection Process. The application shall be approved by the utility prior to the customer beginning the project. The customer signature on the application indicates the customer shall follow the steps outlined in the utility's interconnection rules. 3. The customer shall enter into a written contract with the utility using the uniform contract contained in the utility's Rules Governing Interconnection of Cogeneration and Small Power Production. 4. The qualifying facility shall pay the utility for all reasonable costs of interconnection including those costs outlined in Minnesota Statute 216B.164, the utility's DER Interconnection Process, and the State of Minnesota Interconnection Technical Requirements. 5. The qualifying facility's total generator nameplate capacity shall be less than 40 kW and the facility shall operate at a measured capacity of less than 40 kW at all times to qualify for net metering/net billing or roll over credit compensation. 6. The utility may limit the capacity and operating characteristics of qualifying facility single phase generators in a manner consistent with the utility limitations for single phase motors, when necessary to avoid a qualifying facility from causing problems with the service of other customers. 7. The utility may require the qualifying facility to discontinue parallel generation operations when necessary for system safety. 2 8. The power output from the qualifying facility must be maintained so that frequency and voltage are compatible with normal utility service and do not cause that service to fall outside the prescribed limits of interconnection rules and other standard limitations. 9. The qualifying facility shall keep in force liability insurance against personal or property damage due to the installation, interconnection, and operation of its electric generating facilities. The amount of insurance coverage shall be the maximum amount of said insurance for a qualifying facility or net metered facility as outlined in the utility's DER Interconnection Process. 10. Failure of the qualifying facility to operate its distributed energy resource at a measured capacity below the 40 kW AC capacity limit established by Minn. Stat. §216B.164, Sub. 3 and as contemplated by this policy, shall result in the following. The utility will notify the customer/qualifying facility of the fact that its generating equipment has failed to operate below the 40 kW AC maximum capacity and will provide the customer/qualifying facility with the date, time and kW reading that substantiate this finding. 11. The utility shall compensate the customer/qualifying facility for all metered electricity produced by said qualifying facility during the thirty (30) day period during which the failure occurred, at the utility's wholesale power supplier's avoided cost rate. 12. The utility shall continue to pay the customer/qualifying facility for subsequent electricity produced and delivered pursuant to the contract, at the utility's wholesale power supplier's avoided cost rate until: 1. The problem with the generator that caused it to operate at or above the statutory maximum capacity has been remedied; and 2. The utility has been provided documentation adopted by a Minnesota Professional Engineer that confirms the problem with the generator has been remedied. 13. Any customer account eligible for net metering/net billing is not eligible for any other load management discounts unless agreed to by the utility. 14. Payment for the purchase of the qualifying facility's electricity herein shall be in the form of a credit on the customer's monthly billing invoice or paid by check or electronic payment to the customer within fifteen (15) days of the billing date, whichever is selected and indicated in the contract. 15. The customer must be, and continue to be, current with payment on its electric account with utility. 16. The customer must not enter into any arrangement that violates the utility's exclusive right to provide electric service in its service area under Minnesota Statutes §§216B.37-44. 17. In the event that the distributed generator fails to meet the requirements of this policy for a total distributed generation capacity of less than 40 kW AC, and fails to satisfy the corrective requirements set forth in Section 12 above, then the utility will have the right to (1) cancel the contract with the owner of the qualifying facility, and (2) enter into a new contract with the owner of the qualifying facility that, among other changes, adjusts the qualifying facility's rated capacity and specifies avoided cost pricing for the qualifying facility's output. To the extent that the utility does not have the obligation to make purchases from qualifying facilities of 40 kW or greater due to transfer of the obligation to the utility's wholesale supplier that has been approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the new agreement will be between the utility's wholesale supplier and the qualifying facility. In either case, the utility (and, as applicable, the utility's wholesale supplier) and the owner of the qualifying facility will cooperate in the transition from the form of contract set forth in the utility's Rules Governing Interconnection of Cogeneration and Small Power Production to a new form of contract appropriate to a qualifying facility with a capacity of 40 kW or greater. 18. Fully executed interconnection contracts for distributed energy resources may be canceled in the event the distributed energy resource fails to interconnect to the utility's distribution system within twelve (12) months of signing of the interconnection contract by the qualifying facility and the utility.

A bid summary form and detailed tabulation of the bid results is enclosed. We have checked the bids for mathematical accuracy and compliance with the bid specifications. We are hereby prepared to offer the following recommendation. Three (3) bids were received, opened, and read aloud. One (1) non -responsive bid was submitted by Brink Constructors, Inc. After reviewing Brink's bid, it was discovered that Brink did not include all the requirements of the specifications (i.e. pricing was not included for all bid units on the Bid Form). Furthermore, Brink requested that their bid be withdrawn via email shortly after the bid opening. There were two (2) responsive bids received ranging in price from $6,931,556.12 to $11,952,521.02. The low bid evaluated was received from The Hydaker-Wheatlake Company, who submitted a total price of $6,931,556.12. The Hydaker-Wheatlake Company has successfully completed projects for us in the past, and we know of no reasons why they would not perform well on this project. We recommend that you award the contract to The Hydaker-Wheatlake Company for a total price of $6,931,556.12. Please review our recommendation and feel free to contact us with any questions you or the Commission may have. Please let us know when an award has been made, and we will proceed with preparing the Contract Documents for signatures. We will be sending a copy of the bid summary to all bidders and plan holders.

The attached project summary outlines our understanding of your requirements, describes our approach to meet your needs, and presents assumptions we made to develop a lump sum cost estimate to conduct this testing. Pricing is valid for ninety (90) days after proposal issuance date. • Plant 1 Compliance Testing $35,400 • Plant 2 RATA Testing $7,500 $42,900* • Optional HAPs Testing via Method 18 $10, 000 *Pricing is contingent on the Plant 1 and Plant 2 testing being conducted during the same mobilization. The lump sum cost estimate does not account for contingency costs associated with site -specific COVID-19 policies, including but not limited to quarantines prior to site entry, that were undisclosed by HUC and not expressly listed in the proposal. If HUC's COVID-19 policies result in additional time or expenses prior to or during the scheduled testing and are not specifically identified in the Proposed Project Schedule provided in the Project Summary, additional charges will apply. The lump sum cost estimate is predicated on Net 30-day payment terms (as outlined in more detail in the enclosed Terms & Conditions) and standard project scheduling (> 30 calendar days). If rush scheduling (< 30 calendar days) becomes necessary after project authorization (personnel/equipment availability dependent), an additional 15% rush charge may be added to the final invoice amount. If the mobilization of a test team from an external ATG office is required to meet the rush scheduling needs, the additional labor and expenses (cost +15%) associated with test team travel will also be invoiced. Alliance invoices upon completion of field work and offers a 1% discount if payment is received upon receipt of the Draft Report. We look forward to working with you on this project. Please do not hesitate to contact us at 651-247-7873 to discuss this proposal.

Alliance's responsibilities shall include the following: • Sample Shipments and Disposal. Alliance may ship test samples by freight or common carrier, and in such event responsibility for the samples shall be as set out in the contract for shipment between Alliance and such freight or common carrier (and Alliance shall not be responsible for such test samples while in transit or under the control of such freight or common carrier). Samples generally are consumed or substantially altered during analysis and are disposed of in accordance with each laboratory's standard operating procedures. Samples received and analyzed by Alliance are held in archive for three (3) months after analysis and are then disposed of by Alliance without further or additional notice to HUC. HUC must make other written arrangements with Alliance if a longer hold time is required. • Equipment Contamination. Alliance will endeavor to clean the Alliance laboratory and field equipment which may become contaminated in the conduct of the Alliance services. Occasionally, such equipment cannot be completely decontaminated because of the type of hazardous materials encountered. If this occurs, it will be necessary to dispose of the equipment in a manner similar to that indicated for hazardous samples, in which case HUC agrees to pay Alliance the fair market value of any such equipment (in addition to costs for consulting services performed).

All Agreements are subject to the following terms and conditions (the "Terms"), and such Terms are accepted without modification by Customer in connection with any request by Customer for Work from ATG and are incorporated into all documents pertaining to Work performed by ATG as if fully set forth therein. ATG or Customer may be referred to herein as a "Party" or collectively as "Parties." 1. PAYMENT TERMS: ATG shall invoice periodically for work done or to be done, as appropriate. Customer agrees to pay the ATG invoice in full within 30 days from the date of ATG's invoice. If the Work includes delivery of a draft report, ATG will grant Customer a 1% discount on the total invoice amount if payment is received on or before the draft report delivery dates set for in the Agreement. Customer shall inform ATG of any disputed charges within five (5) business days of receiving the invoice. Should an invoice need to be amended, the original invoice transmittal date shall still apply for purposes of determining the payment due date. If payment is not received by ATG from Customer by the due date, Customer agrees to pay interest on the past due amount at a rate of one percent (1%) per month until paid (but not more than the maximum rate of interest allowed by applicable law), and further agrees to pay reasonable costs of collection incurred by ATG, including without limitation, court costs and attorneys' fees. No deduction shall be made from the ATG invoice on account of liquidated damages or other sums withheld from payments to contractors or others. 2. TERMINATION: Either Party may terminate the Agreement with or without cause upon 30 days' written notice to the other Party. In the event Customer requests termination prior to completion of the project, Customer agrees to pay ATG for all costs incurred through the date of notice of termination, plus reasonable charges associated with termination of the work. Orders for Goods may be cancelled at no cost prior to ATG's issuance of a purchase order for such Goods. Cancellations thereafter shall be subject to cancellation and restocking fees. 3. TAXES: Customer shall be responsible for all sales, use and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties and charges of any kind imposed by any federal, state, or local governmental entity on any amounts payable by Customer hereunder. 4. CHANGE ORDERS: If either Party wishes to change the scope or performance of the Work, it shall submit details of the requested change to the other Party in writing. ATG shall, within a reasonable time after such request, provide a written estimate to Customer of (i) the likely time required to implement the change; (ii) any necessary variations to the fees and other charges for the Work arising from the change; (iii) the likely effect of the change on the Work; and (iv) any other impact the change might have on the performance of this Agreement. Promptly after receipt of the written estimate, the Parties shall negotiate and agree in writing on the terms of such change (a "Change Order"). Neither Party shall be bound by any Change Order unless mutually agreed upon in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ATG may, from time to time change the Services without the consent of Customer provided that such changes do not materially affect the nature or scope of the Services, or the fees or any performance dates set forth in the Agreement. ATG may charge for the time it spends assessing and documenting a change request from Customer on a time and materials basis. 5. PERFORMANCE, WARRANTIES: a) Services. ATG will perform the Services using that degree of care and skill ordinarily exercised under similar conditions by reputable members of the profession practicing in the same or similar locality. ATG shall use reasonable efforts to meet any performance dates specified in the Agreement, and any such dates shall be estimates only. ATG shall not be liable for a breach of the warranty set forth herein unless Customer gives written notice of the defective Services, reasonably described, to ATG within 30 days of the time when Customer discovers or should have discovered that the Services were defective.
