Bidder’s proposal will provide all information/responses to Parts 1 and 2, as requested. Bidder’s
proposal shall be tabbed and presented in the exact sequential order by subsection, category and
subcategory as presented in the solicitation. Any other format may result in a lesser score for

requested.
Section III of the RFP is the Model Contract and contractual terms and conditions. The Scope of
Work is found in Attachment A to the Model Contract.
The Model Contract is the contract intended to be finalized and executed by the parties as a result of
this RFP. Exceptions to the terms and conditions of the Model Contract must be submitted with
Bidder’s proposal and will be the only items considered for discussion during the contract
negotiations. Failure to negotiate a contract with the first place team will result in negotiations with
the second place team and so on until a contract is executed or all proposals are rejected.

carefully and check your proposal package immediately upon receipt to ensure that you have all the

9. Proposal Rejection: Any proposal may be rejected if it is conditional, incomplete, is not in
compliance with the RFP bidding requirements, or deviates from specifications in this RFP.
The College reserves the right to waive, at its discretion, any procedural irregularity, immaterial
defects, or other improprieties which the College deems reasonably correctable or otherwise not
warranting rejection of the proposal. Any waiver will not excuse a proponent from full
compliance.

Proposal is most advantageous to the District, taking into consideration the applicable evaluation
criteria set forth below.

IV. OPERATIONAL COST OPTIMIZATION
The generators are currently designed to operate on a 24/7 basis, the College understands that the
successful bidder will need to familiarize themselves with the normal operation of the Central Plant
before making recommendations for the most efficient and economical way to operate the plant.
Therefore, CONTRACTOR will run the CP, as currently operationed, for a period of one (12) months
to allow the CONTRACTOR time to analyze the characteristics of the CP operations including
seasonal shifts, and determine if there are changes to the plant control scheme, equipment operational
parameters that will result in a decrease of purchased utilities, and or an increase to plant efficiencies
or reduced operating cost to the college. Following the twelve (12) month evaluation period, twice
each year, in March and September, CONTRACTOR can formally propose recommended changes
that might result in a net cost reduction in KWh and KW demand costs to the College. Items that can
be considered for operational modification include, but are not exclusive to:
1. Generator shutdown
2. Generator loading / unloading sequencing
3. Generator load levels reset by time of day or date
4. Chilled and or Hot Water supply temperature set points or differential pressures, set point resets
5. Air Handler discharge temperature set point resets
Any changes which could involve conditions that could result in the CP operating outside of
SCAQMD permit specifications or that violate any Federal, State, or local environmental ordinances,
will not be considered, and should not be recommended.
Changes mutually agreed to by the College and CONTRACTOR will need to be in place and tested
prior to May 1st. Changes that produce undesirable operating conditions will not be allowed.
CONTRACTOR shall prepare a monthly report and affidavit showing detailed cost summaries for
energy production and fuel usage. These documents will contain data related to monthly KW
production, monthly KW SDG&E Import, SoCal Gas Import, and monthly natural gas usage and
KWh the college is spending for energy, see EXHIBIT VIII – Run Time Logs for sample
documents.
LS Page 60 of 87
SOUTH ORANGE COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT RFP #2008
For the Cogeneration and Central Plant Operation and Maintenance Services
connectors, gaskets, EGT sensors, seals, bearings, etc. CONTRACTOR's supply management
shall be consistent with the College policies and procedures for requesting, receiving, storing,
inventorying and issuing of supplies. The College will provide storage space for these spare parts
and at the Colleges discretion may require the CONTRACTOR to increase stock levels to a level
the College find adequate.
VI. PERFORMANCE MONITORING AND TESTING
The CONTRACTOR shall perform continuous monitoring and testing as required by manufacture
recommendations and schedule intervals. The CONTRACTOR shall use the college work order
system and create within the work order system a complete data base to allow for the creation and
tracking of preventative maintenance tasks
Centrifugal Chiller maintenance, test, tube bundle cleaning, oil sampling/testing, refrigerant
sampling/testing, inspection of Belzona coating and visual inspections shall be performed at a
minimum every 12 months. Eddie Current testing shall be performed at a minimum every 24 months.
Absorption Chiller maintenance, refrigerant purge, test, tube bundle cleaning, brine sampling/testing
visual inspection and inspection of coating shall be performed at a minimum of every 12 months or as
required by equipment manufacture. Eddie Current testing shall be performed at a minimum every 24
months.
Cogeneration heat exchange equipment shall be continuously monitored for performance and opened
and visually inspected at a minimum of every 12 month to verify that there is no scaling in the plate
exchangers and no cracking in the Chane heat exchange units, bypass baffles and controls which
could affect performance.
VII. MONITORING PROGRAM
A monitoring program shall be established after the CONTRACTORS’ 6 month analyzation of the
central plants current operational characteristics as defined above and in Attachment “A” VI
Operational Cost Optimization. This will compare the performance of major equipment and
overall system with performance and a CONTRACTOR defined operational standard. This
comparison will be the basis for analyses of deviations and proposals for remedies. A reference test
standard shall be defined and plant performance testing shall be initiated to test performance in
comparison with a standard. CONTRACTOR may develop a reporting format or utilize one provided
by the College.
1. Test items and test duration: Monitoring device calibration shall be performed annually. Testing
shall be performed annually. The list of monitoring and test items shall be included in the
proposal and follow the general testing standard and recommendations provided by suppliers.
2. Measuring points and location: Prior to performance monitoring, the availability of the
measuring equipment shall be verified and calibrated to an acceptable tolerance. A list of
measuring points will be provided by CONTRACTOR in order to conduct the monitoring and
testing during the operation period. CONTRACTOR may develop a list by referring to the
information provided in the manuals and collaboration with the College’s Project Manager. The
list of measuring points shall include a list of all instruments that are available at site and are
useful for the monitoring, and detailed drawings in order to study the location of measurements
and the possibility to install portable devices during the monitoring. Instrumentation and
measurement uncertainty: An uncertainty analysis shall be performed prior to the test. The
performance test code always establishes a limit for each required measurement uncertainty. A
post-test uncertainty analysis should be performed to assure that the actual test has met the
requirement of test code. The overall test uncertainty will be calculated in accordance with
defined procedure and by the specified standard.
LS Page 61 of 87
SOUTH ORANGE COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT RFP #2008
For the Cogeneration and Central Plant Operation and Maintenance Services
3. Computation of results: Determine the power output and heat rate at specified conditions.
Recorded data used for computation of the results is the average value of the readings during a
single test run. Instrument and other corrections may be necessary to apply before using these
data.
4. Result evaluation: The results of the monitoring will be used in calculating the different
parameters such as fuel flow and efficiency. All results will be adjusted based on correction
curves. These correction curves are normally included in the obligation of the supplier to submit,
but, if not available, they can to some extent be replaced by standard correction curves from
different standards. During performance monitoring, an overall check of the status of actual
measuring shall be made before any decision on more detailed measuring is taken. Only if
recorded measurements indicate differences and/or uncertainties in values, a more detailed
measuring program shall be elaborated for a renewed calculation of efficiency.
Deviations in the efficiency can normally be deduced from deviations in important parameters. These
parameters also give an indication of the source of deviation. Therefore, very accurate measurements
and detailed calculations taking all possible parameters, e.g. according to European Standard DIN
1942, are not required. Normally, readings from the fixed installed instruments are sufficient and the
result will be approximate figures for efficiency.

ENFORCING HEALTH STANDARDS
Under both federal and state law, the SCAQMD is under a legal obligation to make and enforce air
pollution regulations. These regulations are primarily meant to ensure that the surrounding (or ambient)
air will meet federal and state air quality standards. However, Air Quality Management District (AQMD)
also has broad authority to regulate toxic and hazardous air emissions, and these regulations are enforced
in the same manner as those which pertain to the ambient air quality standards.
These ambient air standards are health-based and concern the following six air contaminants: sulfur
dioxide, lead, ozone, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, and fine particulate matter.
These standards are designed to protect the most sensitive persons from illness or discomfort with a
margin of safety. The four-county region within AQMD's jurisdiction complies with standards for the first
two, but fails to meet standards for the other four. In addition, AQMD must meet California standards for
hydrogen sulfide, sulfates, and vinyl chloride, as well as state standards for visibility.
California requires a reduction in district-wide emissions of five percent or more per year until these
standards are met. California has also set statewide emission limitations for odor or unhealthful
emissions, visible emissions, open burning, sandblasting, gasoline vapors, and incineration of toxics.
BACKGROUND ON EMISSION SOURCES
Carbon monoxide (CO) is formed by the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels and comes almost entirely
from automobile exhaust. Carbon monoxide can cause dizziness and fatigue, and can impair central
nervous system functions. Controls on indirect sources which attract automobiles, such as places of
employment and shopping centers, reduce the amount of CO in the surrounding air.
Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and other oxides of nitrogen (NOx) are formed as a result of fuel combustion
under high temperature or pressure, and they contribute to the problems of ground-level ozone, fine
particulate matter, poor visibility, and acid rain. Nitrogen dioxide decreases lung function and may reduce
LS Page 72 of 87
SOUTH ORANGE COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT RFP #2008
For the Cogeneration and Central Plant Operation and Maintenance Services
resistance to infection. Controls on fuel combustion, particularly internal combustion engines and large
stationary sources such as power plants and refineries, reduce the concentrations of NOx in the
surrounding air.
Ozone is formed by photochemical reactions between oxides of nitrogen and volatile organic compounds
(VOC). VOCs are formed from the incomplete combustion of fuels and from evaporation of organic
solvents. Elevated ozone levels in the air we breathe (as opposed to in the upper atmosphere where it
protects us from harmful radiation) result in reduced lung function, particularly during vigorous physical
activity. This health problem is particularly acute in children because their lungs are not fully developed
and they don't always recognize the symptoms that would warn adults of the effects of ozone.
Reducing ozone levels involves controlling both NOx and VOC emissions. NOx controls were described
above. Typical VOC controls include reducing the VOC content of paints and solvents, and controlling
fumes from gasoline pumping, auto body painting, furniture finishing, and other operations that involve
organic chemicals and solvents.
PM10 refers to small suspended particulate matter, 10 microns or less in diameter, which can enter the
lungs. These small particles can be directly emitted into the atmosphere as a by-product of fuel
combustion; through abrasion, such as wear on tires or brake linings; or through wind erosion of soil.
They can also be formed in the atmosphere through chemical reactions. The particles may carry
carcinogens and other toxic compounds, which stick to the particle surfaces and can enter the lung. PM10
is reduced directly by controls on fugitive dust and indirectly by controls on all other pollutants which
contribute to the formation of particles.
FEDERAL AND STATE ENFORCEMENT MANDATE
AQMD was created by the state legislature to facilitate compliance with the federal Clean Air Act and to
implement the state air quality program. Under the federal Clean Air Act, the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is required to develop health-based air quality standards applying to all of the states, which
it has done, as described above.
The states are required to report to EPA on whether they meet the standards and to prepare "State
Implementation Plans" (SIPs) for attainment and maintenance of the standards.
If a state or an area within it does not meet the standards, the plan must contain provisions for emission
limitations and controls, emission reductions pending attainment, and a permit program for new and
modified equipment or devices which emit or control the emission of air pollution.
In its SIP a state must provide assurances that it will have adequate personnel, legal authority, and
funding to implement and enforce the plan. Finally, the plan must be approved by the federal government.
If a state submits an inadequate SIP or fails to attain the standards by the deadlines established by the
EPA, the consequences could be severe, including the imposition of a Federal Implementation Plan, a
construction ban on certain new or modified sources, or a citizen's suit to enforce the state plan.
The state legislature conducts regular audits of AQMD activities to ensure that this will not happen.
Contrary to what people might think, the AQMD exists solely to implement state and federal law for the
purpose of protecting public health. If it fails to do this, however, both the state and federal government
may assume authority over the AQMD's regulatory program.
STATUTORY PENALTIES FOR AIR POLLUTION VIOLATIONS
Air pollution violations may result in either criminal or civil liability. AQMD does not criminally
prosecute air pollution violations. Criminal cases are referred to state, county or city attorneys. In
deciding whether to refer a case for criminal prosecution, AQMD will consider such factors as the type
and severity of the violation, the state of mind of the violator, and the harm or risk of harm to the public
created by the violation. Relevant criminal penalties are contained in California Health and Safety Code
sections 42400, 42400.1, 42400.2, 42400.3, 42400.3.5, and 42400.4.

SOUTH ORANGE COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT RFP #2008
For the Cogeneration and Central Plant Operation and Maintenance Services
AQMD's enforcement authority for civil penalties, as required by the State Implementation Plan, can be
found in the California Health and Safety Code Civil Penalties sections 42402, 42402.1, 42402.2,
42402.3, 42402.4, and 42402.5.
$1,000 PER DAY STRICT LIABILITY
Under Section 42402(a), a person is strictly liable for a civil penalty of $1,000 per day for violating any
provision of the Health and Safety Code section within Part 4 of Division 26 of the code or any order,
permit, rule, or regulation of a district, including a district hearing board, or of the state Air Resources
Board issued pursuant to Parts 1 through 4 of Division 26 of the code.
What this means in plain language is that a person who violates any provision of the Health and Safety
Code or an AQMD rule, regulation, order or permit is strictly liable for a civil penalty of $1,000 per day.
$10,000 PER DAY
Under Section 42402(b), a person may be liable for a civil penalty of up to $10,000 per day if that person
has violated any Health and Safety Code section in Part 4 of Division 26 of the code, or any order, permit,
rule, or regulation of a district, including a district hearing board, or of the state Air Resources Board
issued pursuant to Parts 1 through 4 of Division 26 of the code.
What this means in plain language is that a person who violates an AQMD rule, regulation, order, permit
condition or applicable state law, will be subject to a civil penalty of up to $10,000 per day unless the
violator can establish that the violation was not the result of intentional or negligent conduct. If the
violation involves the emission of air contaminants, the penalty could be higher than $10,000 per day.
$25,000 PER DAY
Under Section 42402.1, a person may be liable for a civil penalty of up to $25,000 per day if that person
has negligently emitted an air contaminant in violation of Part 4 of Division 26 of the code, or any rule,
regulation, permit or order of the state Air Resources Board or district board pertaining to emission
regulations or limitations.
What this means in plain language is that a person who carelessly, inattentively, or inadvertently violates
air pollution rules, causing the emission of air contaminants, will be subject to a civil penalty of up to
$25,000 per day. Moreover, if the negligent emission of air contaminants causes actual harm to an
individual, a civil penalty of up to $100,000 per day may be imposed.
An example of such a violation would be the use of coatings containing higher levels of VOC than
allowed by an AQMD rule by a person who did not make sure that the coatings complied with AQMD
requirements.
In addition, if the violation results in a situation of public nuisance under Health and Safety Code Section
41700 which causes injury to the public, the potential penalty increases to $15,000 per day. See Section
42402(c).
$40,000 PER DAY
Under Section 42402.2, a person may be liable for a civil penalty of up to $40,000 per day if that person
has emitted an air contaminant in violation of Part 4 of Division 26 of the code, or any order, rule,
regulation, or permit of the state Air Resources Board or district board pertaining to emission regulations
or limitations, provided the person knew of the emission and failed to take corrective action within a
reasonable time under the circumstances. Moreover, if the knowing emission of air contaminants causes
actual harm to an individual, a civil penalty of up to $250,000 per day may be imposed.
"Corrective action" means a termination of the emission violation or the grant of a variance from the
applicable order, rule, regulation or permit, or compliance with a regulation excusing the violation (such
as AQMD Rule 430 applying to the breakdown of equipment).
LS Page 74 of 87
SOUTH ORANGE COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT RFP #2008
For the Cogeneration and Central Plant Operation and Maintenance Services
What this means in plain language is that a person who violates air pollution rules will be subject to a
civil penalty of up to $40,000 per day if the violation causes the emission of an air contaminant and the
person knows of the emission but fails to act promptly to halt the emission.
What matters is that there was a violation that caused an emission and the person knew of the emission
without acting as quickly as he could have to stop it. The person's knowledge of the emission and the
failure to act promptly are the key elements in making this a serious type of violation.
$75,000 PER DAY
Under Section 42402.3, a person may be liable for a civil penalty of up to $75,000 per day if that person
willfully and intentionally emits an air contaminant in violation of any Health and Safety Code section in
Part 4 of Division 26 of the code or any order, rule or regulation of the state Air Resources Board or
district pertaining to emission regulations or limitations.
If the willful and intentional emission of air contaminants causes injury to any person or results in a
violation of Health and Safety Code Section 41700 which poses a risk of injury to to any person, one may
be liable for a civil penalty of up to $125,000 per day and a corporation may be liable for an amount up to
$500,000 per day. If the willful and intentional emission of air contaminants causes great bodily injury or
death, a person may be liable for a civil penalty of up to $250,000 per day and a corporation may be liable
for an amount up to $1,000,000 per day.
VIOLATIONS OF VARIANCES AND ORDERS FOR ABATEMENT
The penalty statutes discussed above apply as well to violations of variance conditions and Orders for
Abatement issued by the district hearing board.
Falsification of Records
AQMD's air regulatory program includes record-keeping requirements which allow AQMD to verify
source compliance with air pollution rules and regulations. Section 42402.5 provides a penalty of up to
$35,000 for falsifying records with the intent to deceive AQMD.
POLICY OF JUDGING EACH VIOLATION INDIVIDUALLY
As a matter of state law, a judge or jury is obligated to evaluate each violation individually and with
reference to all relevant facts and circumstances. This is an important legislative policy that the AQMD
follows in negotiating settlements. This policy recognizes that what might be a fair penalty for a large
refinery might not be for a three-person metal stamping operation, despite the fact that the same rule was
violated.
Under such a policy, AQMD considers such factors as the financial burden to the violator or the action
taken to correct the violation, thus allowing a "sliding scale" in negotiating the appropriate penalty.
Without such a policy, all violators would have to be treated exactly alike without regard for the factors
which can make one violation different from another. The California Health and Safety Code requires that
the following factors be considered in assessing civil penalties:
(a) The extent of harm caused by the violation.
(b) The nature and persistence of the violation.
(c) The length of time over which the violation occurs.
(d) The frequency of past violations.
(e) The record of maintenance.
(f) The unproven or innovative nature of the control equipment.
(g) Any action taken by the defendant to mitigate the violation.
(h) The financial burden to the defendant.

While it is clearly important for AQMD to make and enforce air pollution regulations to comply with
federal and state law and to protect public health, it is also important to recognize that the regulated
community is made up of all kinds and sizes of businesses.
The legislative policy of individualized attention to air pollution violations allows AQMD to pursue its
legal obligations and mandates while carefully and fairly judging all of the circumstances of each air
pollution violation.

13. Transmission Multiple Bus Basic Service Fee. This fee shall apply where a customer has at their
option elected to be billed at this rate and is limited to where the customer is delivering power and
taking service at one or more than one transmission service level bus even if at two or more
different voltage levels, for service to a generation facility that is located on a single premise owned
or operated by the customer. In such a case, the Utility shall, for the purposes of applying retail
rates, combine by subtracting any generation delivered from any loads served provided, however,
that for purposes of applying retail rates the difference resulting from this combining may not be
less than zero. All other charges on this tariff shall also apply to the resulting combined loads.
Any customer selecting this optional billing no later than six (6) months from the first effective date
of this new rate shall, for billing purposes, have any previously incurred demand ratchet treated as
a “zero” from the effective date of the change in billing forward. In addition, any standby charges
shall be adjusted to the customer’s contract level from the effective date of the change in billing
forward until the customer’s demand triggers a future change.
14. Billing. A customer’s bill is first calculated according to the total rates and conditions listed above.
The following adjustments are made depending on the option applicable to the customer:
a. UDC Bundled Service Customers receive supply and delivery services solely from the Utility.
The customer’s bill is based on the Total Rates set forth above. The EECC component is
determined by multiplying the EECC price for this schedule during the last month by the
customer’s total usage.
b. Direct Access (DA) and Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) Customers purchase
energy from a non-utility provider and continue to receive delivery services from the Utility. The
bills for a DA and CCA Customer will be calculated as if they were a UDC Bundled Service
Customer, then crediting the bill by the amount of the EECC component, as determined for a
UDC Bundled Customer, and including the appropriate Cost Responsibility Surcharge (CRS) if
applicable. D
Nothing in this service schedule prohibits a marketer or broker from negotiating with customers the
method by which their customer will pay the CTC charge.
15. Temporary Service. When service is turned on for cleaning and/or showing of an unoccupied
premise above 20 kW facility, the minimal usage shall be billed under Schedule A, until a new
tenant begins service. Should usage exceed 20kW at any time for cleaning and/or showing, the
customer shall be billed the rates on this schedule.

16. Multiple Meters on Single Premise. When a single corporate entity owns a contiguous property, not
divided by any public right of way or property owned by another entity, all within the same
governmental agency’s jurisdiction, and the Utility has more than one meter serving that property,
then, at the customer’s request the Utility will for the additional fees and conditions set forth in this
Special Condition bill all of the usage at some, or all, of the meters as though the whole premise
were served through a single meter. As of September 21, 2004, for new customers to be eligible for
combined billing, all meters must have the same billing components. These components include
but are not limited to Large Customer CTC Adjustment, Large Customer Commodity Credit, Direct
Access (DA) Cost Responsibility Surcharge, DA Utility Service Credit, DA Energy Charge and DA
Franchise Fee Surcharge. Meter data will be combined for the purpose of billing UDC charges, as
listed in the Rates Section of this tariff, but meter data is not allowed to be combined for the purpose
of off setting any charges on SDG&E’s commodity rate schedules.. The customer must pay for the
utility to install and maintain meters to record consumption in 15 minute intervals for all involved
meters. The customer must also pay a distance adjustment fee determined by the utility that is
based on the distance between each of the meters involved using normal utility position to
determine that distance. The rate applied will be the Distance Adjustment Fee from the Rate Section
of this tariff multiplied by 0.121.
17. Electric Emergency Load Curtailment Plan: As set forth in CPUC Decision 01-04-006, all
transmission level customers except essential use customers, OBMC participants, net suppliers to
the electrical grid, or others exempt by the Commission, are to be included in rotating outages in the
event of an emergency. A transmission level customer who refuses or fails to drop load shall be
added to the next curtailment block so that the customer does not escape curtailment. If the
transmission level customer fails to cooperate and drop load at SDG&E’s request, automatic
equipment controlled by SDG&E will be installed at the customer’s expense per Electric Rule 2. A
transmission level customer who refuses to drop load before installation of the equipment shall be
subject to a penalty of $6/kWh for all load requested to be curtailed that is not curtailed. The
$6/kWh penalty shall not apply if the customer’s generation suffers a verified, forced outage and
during times of scheduled maintenance. The scheduled maintenance must be approved by both the
ISO and SDG&E, but approval may not be unreasonably withheld.
18. Other Applicable Tariffs: Rules 21, 23 and Schedule E-Depart apply to customers with generators.
19. Generator Operation: The operation of a non-utility generator unless expressly authorized by tariff is T
prohibited.
This Generating Facility Interconnection Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into by and between South
Orange County Community College District (Producer'), and San Diego Gas & Electric Company
("SDG&E'), a California Corporation. Producer and SDG&E are sometimes also referred to in this

obligations stated in this Agreement and its attachments, the Parties agree as follows:
1.1 This Agreement provides for Producer to interconnect and operate a Generating Facility
in parallel with SDG&E's Distribution System to serve the electrical loads at the location
identified in Section 2.4. To facilitate the operation of the Generating Facility, this
Agreement also allows for the occasional and inadvertent export of power to SDG&E's
Distribution System, as specifically agreed to herein. This Agreement does not constitute
an agreement by SDG&E to provide retail electrical service to Producer. Such
arrangements must be made separately between SDG&E and Producer.
2.3 SDG&E's customer electric service account number: 1119562454 (Assigned by SDG&E).
2.4 Name and address used by SDG&E to locate the electric service account(s) used to
interconnect the Generating Facility with SDG&E's Distribution System:
2.5 The Gross Nameplate Rating of the Generating Facility is 1500 kW.

2.8 The maximum (instantaneous) and inadvertent level of power that may be exported by
the Generating Facility to SDG&E's Distribution System is 300 kW.
2.9 The Generating Facility's expected date of Initial Operation is June 1, 2003. The
expected date of Initial Operation shall be within two years of the date of this Agreement.
2.10 For the purpose of securing certain tariff charge exemptions available under the
California Public Utilities Code ("PU Code"), Producer hereby declares that the
Generating Facility:
(a) xx: does / 0 does not meet the requirements for "Cogeneration" as such term is
used in Section 218.5 of the PU Code.
(b) 0 does / 0 does not meet the requirements for "Distributed Energy Resource
Generation" as such term is used in Section 353.1 ofthe PU Code.
3. DOCUMENTS INCLUDED
This Agreement includes the following exhibits, which are specifically incorporated herein and
made a part of this Agreement.
4.1 This Agreement shall become effective as of the last date entered in Section 16 of this
Agreement. The Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until the earliest date
that one of the following events occurs:
(b) Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, at 12:01 A.M. on the day
following the date the electric service account through which Producer's
Generating Facility is Interconnected to SDG&E's Distribution System is closed
or terminated, or
(c) At 12:01 A.M. on the 61 51 day after Producer or SDG&E provides written Notice
pursuant to Section 9 of this Agreement to the other Party of Producer or
SDG&E's intent to terminate this Agreement.
4.2 Producer may elect to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the terms of Section 4.1 (c)
for any reason. SDG&E may elect to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the terms of
Section 4.1 (c) for one or more of the following reasons:
?
(a) A change in applicable tariffs as approved or directed by the Commission or a
change in any local, state or federal law, statute or regulation, either of which
materially alters or otherwise affects SDG&E's ability or obligation to perfonn
SDG&E's duties under this Agreement; or,
(b) Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, Producer fails to take all
corrective actions specified in SDG&E's Notice that Producer's Generating
Facility is out of compliance with the tenns of this Agreement within the time
frame set forth in such Notice; or,
(c) Producer fails to interconnect and operate the Generating Facility per the tenns
of this Agreement prior to 120 days after the date set forth in Section 2.7 of this
Agreement as the Generating Facility's expected date of Initial Operation; or,
(d) Producer abandons the Generating Facility. SDG&E shall deem the Generating
Facility to be abandoned if SDG&E detennines, in its sole opinion, the
Generating Facility is non-operational and Producer does not provide a
substantive response to SDG&E's Notice of its intent to tenninate this Agreement
as a result of Producer's apparent abandonment of the Generating Facility
affinning Producer's intent and ability to continue to operate the Generating
Facility.
4.3 Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, SDG&E shall have the right to
unilaterally file with the Commission, pursuant to the Commission's rules and regulations,
an application to tenninate this Agreement.
4.4 Any agreements attached to and incorporated into this Agreement shall tenninate
concurrently with this Agreement unless the Parties have agreed otherwise in writing.
5.1 Producer is responsible for operating the Generating Facility in compliance with all of
SDG&E's tariffs, including but not limited to SDG&E's Rule 21, and any other regulations
and laws governing the Interconnection of the Generating Facility.
5.2 The electric power produced by Producer's Generating FaCility shall be used to serve
electrical loads connected to the electric service account that SDG&E uses to
interconnect Producer's Generating Facility. Producer shall not use the Generating
Facility to serve electrical loads that will cause Producer to be considered an "electrical
corporation" as such tenn is used in Section 218 of the California Public Utilities Code.
5.3 If, notwithstanding Producer's efforts to regulate the electrical output of the Generating
Facility, electric power flows from the Generating Facility to SDG&E's Distribution
System, SDG&E shall attempt in good faith to receive such power. In no event shall the
delivery of electric power to SDG&E's Distribution System exceed the amounts, duration,
frequency of occurrence, or other limitations speCified in Appendix E, hereto. If Producer
does not regulate its Generating Facility in compliance with the limitations set forth in
Appendix E, SDG&E may require Producer to disconnect its Generating Facility from
SDG&E's Distribution System until Producer demonstrates to SDG&E's sole satisfaction
that Producer has taken adequate measures to regulate the output of its Generating
Facility and control its deliveries of power to SDG&E. Further, should SDG&E detennine
that Producer's operation of the Generating Facility is causing an unsafe condition or is
adversely affecting SDG&E's ability to utilize its Distribution System in any manner, even
if Producer's deliveries of electric power to SDG&E's Distribution System are within the
limitations specified in Appendix E, SDG&E may require Producer to temporarily or
permanently reduce or cease deliveries of electric power to SDG&E's Distribution
System. Alternatively, the Parties may agree to other corrective measures so as to
mitigate the effect of electric power flowing from the Generating Facility to SDG&E's
Distribution System. Producer's failure to comply with the tenns of this Section shall
1
I
I
constitute a material breach of this Agreement and SDG&E may initiate termination in
accordance with the terms of Section 4.2(b).
5.4 SDG&E's agreement to accept electric power from Producer's Generating Facility is
solely an accommodation. This Agreement does not provide for, or otherwise obligate
SDG&E to measure, purchase, transmit, distribute, or store the electrical power delivered
to SDG&E's Distribution System by Producer.
5.5 Producer shall not deliver reactive power to SDG&E's Distribution System unless the
Parties have agreed otherwise in writing.
5.6 The Generating Facility shall be operated with all of Producer's Protective Functions in
service whenever the Generating Facility is operated in parallel with SDG&E's
Distribution System. Any deviation from these requirements may occur only when the
Parties have agreed to such deviations in writing.
6. INTERCONNECTION FACILITIES
6.1 Producer and/or SDG&E, as appropriate, shall provide Interconnection Facilities that
adequately protect SDG&E's Distribution System, personnel, and other persons from
damage or injury which may be caused by the operation of Producer's Generating
Facility.
6.2 Producer shall be solely responsible for the costs, deSign, purchase, construction,
operation, and maintenance of the Interconnection Facilities that Producer owns.
6.3 If the provisions of SDG&E's Rule 21, or any other tariff approved by the Commission,
require SDG&E to own and operate a portion of the Interconnection Facilities, Producer
and SDG&E shall promptly execute an agreement that establishes and allocates
responsibility for the deSign, installation, operation, maintenance, and ownership of the
Interconnection Facilities. This agreement shall be attached to and made a part of this
Agreement as Appendix B.
7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Each Party's liability to the other Party for any loss, cost, claim, injury, liability, or expense,
including reasonable attorney's fees, relating to or arising from any act or omission in its
performance of this agreement, shall be limited to the amount of direct damage actually incurred.

(Provided by SDG&E)
APPENDIXC
(When applicable)
For the purpose of securing the Competition Transition Charge exemption available under Section
372 of the PU Code, Producer hereby declares that the Generating Facility meets the requirements
for "Cogeneration" as such term is used in Section 218.5 of the PU Code ("Cogeneration
Requirements") .
Producer warrants that, beginning on the date of Initial Operation and continuing throughout the term
ofthis Agreement, the Generating Facility shall continue to meet the Cogeneration Requirements. If
Producer becomes aware that its Generating Facility has ceased to meet the Cogeneration
Requirements, Producer shall promptly provide SDG&E with Notice of such change pursuant to
Section 9.1 of the Agreement. If at any time during the term of this Agreement SDG&E determines in
its sole discretion that Producer's Generating Facility may no longer meet the Cogeneration
Requirements, SDG&E may require Producer to provide evidence that the Generating Facility
continues to meet the Cogeneration Requirements within 15 business days of SDG&E's request for
such evidence. Additionally, SDG&E may periodically (typically, once per year) inspect Producer's
Generating Facility and/or require documentation from Producer to monitor the Generating Facility's
compliance with the Cogeneration Requirements. If SDG&E determines in its sole judgment that
Producer either failed to provide evidence in a timely manner or that it provided insufficient evidence
that its Generating Facility continues to meet the Cogeneration Requirements, then the Cogeneration
status of the Generating Facility shall be deemed ineffective until such time as Producer again
demonstrates to SDG&E's reasonable satisfaction that the Generating Facility meets the
requirements for a Cogeneration facility (the "Cogeneration Status Change").
SDG&E shall revise its records and the administration of this Agreement to reflect the Cogeneration
Status Change and provide Notice to Producer of the Cogeneration Status Change pursuant to
Section 9.1 of this Agreement. Such Notice shall specify the effective date of the Cogeneration
Status Change. This date shall be the first day of the calendar year for which SDG&E determines in
its sole discretion that the Generating Facility first ceased to meet the Cogeneration Requirements.
SDG&E shall invoice the Producer's electric service account through which the Generating Facility is
Interconnected with SDG&E's Distribution System for Competition Transition Charges ("CTCs") that
were not previously billed during the period between the effective date of the Status Change and the
date of the Notice in reliance upon Producer's representations that the Generating FaCility complied
with the Cogeneration Requirements and therefore was eligible for the exemption from CTCs
available under Section 372 of the PU Code.
Any amounts to be paid or refunded by Producer, as may be invoiced by SDG&E pursuant to the
terms of this warranty, shall be paid to SDG&E within 30 days of Producer's receipt of such invoice.
APPENDIX D
(When applicable)
For the purpose of securing the tariff charge exemption available under Section 353.3 of the PU
Code, Producer hereby declares that the Generating Facility meets the requirements for "Distributed
Energy Resources Generation" as such term is used in Section 353.1 of the PU Code ("DERG
Requirements') .
Producer warrants that, beginning on the date of Initial Operation and continuing throughout the term
of this Agreement, its Generating Facility shall continue to meet the DERG Requirements. If
Producer becomes aware that the Generating Facility has ceased to meet the DERG Requirements,
Producer shall promptly provide SDG&E with Notice of such change pursuant to Section 9.1 of the
Agreement. If at any time during the term of this Agreement SDG&E determines in its sole discretion
that Producer's Generating Facility may no longer meet the DERG Requirements, SDG&E may
require Producer to provide evidence that the Generating Facility continues to meet the DERG
Requirements within 15 business days of SDG&E's request for such evidence. Additionally, SDG&E
may periodically (typically, once per year) inspect Producer's Generating Facility and/or require
documentation from Producer to monitor the Generating Facility's compliance with the DERG
Requirements. If SDG&E determines in its sole judgment that Producer either failed to provide
evidence in a timely manner or that it provided insufficient evidence that its Generating Facility
continues to meet the DERG Requirements, then the Distributed Energy Resources Generation
status of the Generating Facility shall be deemed ineffective until such time as Producer again
demonstrates to SDG&E's reasonable satisfaction that the Generating Facility meets the
requirements for a Distributed Energy Resources Generation facility (the "DERG Status Change').
SDG&E shall revise its records and the administration of this Agreement to reflect the DERG Status
Change and provide Notice to Producer of the DERG Status Change pursuant to Section 9.1 of this
Agreement. Such Notice shall specify the effective date of the DERG Status Change. This date shall
be the first day of the calendar year for which SDG&E determines in its sole discretion that the
Generating Facility first ceased to meet the DERG Requirements. SDG&E shall invoice the Producer
electric service account through which the Generating Facility is Interconnected with SDG&E's
Distribution System for any tariff charges that were not previously billed during the period between the
effective date of the DERG Status Change and the date of the Notice in reliance upon Producer's
representations that the Generating Facility complied with the DERG Requirements and therefore
was eligible for the exemption from tariff charges available under Section 353.3 of the PU Code.
Any amounts to be paid or refunded by Producer, as may be invoiced by SDG&E pursuant to the
terms of this warranty, shall be paid to SDG&E within 30 days of Producer's receipt of such invoice.
AppendixE
• The primary method of control is a load following program controlling the college
output to a minimum of 60 kW import power from SDGE. Under certain
conditions, i.e. a large load being secured, imported power will drop below this
value and in some cases will flow in the export direction.
• Limitations on the amount of power exported will be controlled as follows:
o Beckwith protection relay
• Setting A will be set at 30 kW import power for 30 seconds. This
will ensure that power is not exported continuously.
• Setting B will be set at 300 kW export power for 2 seconds.
The maximum number of export excursions per day will be maintained below 10. The
expected number of export excursions per day will be 2, during the two period when the
air conditioning compressor shuts down.
