For purposes of this Agreement, prudent utility practice shall mean practices, methods and acts which, in the exercise of professional judgment and in light of the facts known at the time the decision was made, could have been expected to accomplish the desired result and expediency, including, but not limited to, any practices, methods and acts engaged in or approved by a significant portion of the electrical utility industry prior thereto.

If agreed upon by the Authorized Representatives, employees of the City who LCPD in its sole discretion determines are qualified to perform the necessary work may assist LCPD in carrying out functions otherwise to be provided by LCPD under this section of the Agreement. If the Authorized Representatives determine that this use of City employees should reduce LCPD costs incurred to perform these services, then the Authorized Representatives shall agree in writing as to any reduction in the Annual Charge prior to this use of City employees.

The annual charge for O&M for the first year of the Initial Term is $261,800 (the “Annual Charge”), and such Annual Charge will be prorated based on the Effective Date.
