  2. New Service Delivery Scope Team Members Training Methodology Project Start Date May 25, 2005

  3. New Service Delivery Scope Beginning: Customer (builder, developer, home and commercial owner, contractor, etc…) contacts CPS Energy for new service (electric and/or gas service). Ending: Customer receives CPS Energy services through gas/electric meter.

  4. New Service Delivery Scope (cont.) Included in Scope: • Distribution system electric and/or gas only • Residential subdivisions Overhead (OH) and Underground Residential Distribution (URD) • Residential single family/multi-family dwellings, • Commercial developments OH and Underground (UG) • Mobile home lots • Streetlights installed as part of residential subdivisions. Not included in Scope: • Customers with existing services from CPS Energy • Civic and System improvement projects • Overhead to underground conversions • Transmission projects • Downtown network projects • Maintenance and Repair of existing infrastructure

  9. NSD Redesign Approach

  10. Key Activities Timeline • Current State Assessment – November 2005 • Conceptual Solution Design – December 2005 • Business Case approved - March 2006 • Design NSD Facility – July 2006 • Detailed Solution Development – December 2006 • Web Portal • Job Status Display Screen • Front Lot Construction standard change • Developer responsible for all utility coordination • Employee Selection for Pilot • WMIS Task Structure Changes • NSD Pilot Training - November 2006 to January 2007 • NSD Pilot – March 2007 to September 2007 • Implementation– October 2007 and beyond

  11. NSD Pilot Details

  12. Front Lot Construction Advantages • Cost Savings utilizing front lot • Reduce time frame of construction • Shorter service length • Easier access for Transformer • Simplified and Streamlined platting process • Reduces the amount of service re-routes

  13. Front Lot Construction (cont) Advantages • Use fewer, but larger Capacity transformers (Not Physical Size) • Reduces conflict with other construction • Improves Aesthetics • Transformer Study • Eliminates the need for future alleyway repairs that occur with rear lot construction • Supports tree preservation ordinance • Fewer trees destroyed or disturbed • Transformer Shared across two property Lines

  14. Front Lot Construction (cont) Advantages • Reduced outage time to customer • Crews do not disturb customer during outages • Customer can see crews working • Less cost for future encroachment • Removes encumbrance of customer’s backyards • Transformer shared across two property lines where applicable

  15. Developer Installed Infrastructure The Process • The Developer’s contractor that installs sewer and water can also trench and install the infrastructure conduit for electric and gas*. • The Developer’s engineer is now the Joint trench coordinator for all utilities. (AT&T, Time Warner, Grande Communication, Guadalupe Valley) * If on CPS Energy’s approved contractor list.

  16. Developer Installed Infrastructure (cont) Advantages to Developer • Decreased time between the installation of wet and dry utilities. • Developer controls their timeline up to the point of pulling cable and setting transformers.

  17. Developer Installed Infrastructure (cont) Advantages to CPS Energy • Now we are focusing on CPS Energy’s core business; energy delivery • No longer acts as the project manager for the Developer. That responsibility is now with the Developer’s engineer. • No longer responsible for coordinating pre-construction meetings.

  18. All-in-One Meter Main Advantages to the Developer and/or CPS Energy • Safety • Eliminates temporary meter pole • Eliminates conduit and cable running across yards and streets • No exposed service entrance conductors • Reduced customer complaints on Temporary Meter Loop removal (TML) • Reduced Timeline • One trip at the beginning of project • Should cut construction time for developers due to availability of power • Eliminate coordination to install and remove temporary meter loop

  19. All-in-One Meter Main (cont) Advantages to the Developer and/or CPS Energy • Cost Savings • Expedites service installation • Reduces Builder’s cost • Less permits • Cost of permanent vs. temporary to final equipment cost • Reduce number of turn downs due to poor construction • Initiating 1 work order vs. the potential of 4 • 1 piece Module Meter

  20. Additional Initiatives • Elimination of supplying all self-contained single phase meter cans • Correcting and Standardizing CAM units to reflect the appropriate material (prerequisite to VMI) • Empowering our construction crews to participate in decision making regarding the reduction of trips to the jobsite • Right-sizing transformers • Integrated Supply/Vendor Managed Inventory
