WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, on December 11, 2009, Company issued a Request for Proposals RFP-09-27 (the “RFP”) for the engineering, construction and procurement for the Southcentral Power Project, the purpose of which is to meet the resource requirements of the Southcentral Power Project Participants;
WHEREAS, Contractor responded to the RFP with a detailed written proposal;
WHEREAS, Company selected Contractor to negotiate the terms of the Contract for the engineering, construction and procurement for the Southcentral Power Project;

(a) As full consideration for the satisfactory performance of all of Contractor’s obligations under this Contract, including Contractor’s provision of all labor, Materials, Equipment, and services associated with the Work, Company shall pay Contractor the aggregate fixed price amount of two hundred seventeen million six hundred twenty eight thousand nine hundred ninety nine Dollars ($217,628,999.00) (the “Contract Price”) in accordance with this Contract and the payment schedule in Appendix D (the “Payment Schedule”) and all payments of the Contract Price shall be linked to the timely achievement of specific Project milestones (each, a “Milestone”). Unless agreed otherwise by the Parties, Change Orders which result in additional or reduced payments to Contractor shall result in an equivalent upward or downward adjustment to the Contract Price, as the case may be. |
(i) Company shall have the right to exercise the option to purchase certain additional equipment, material and/or services which as of the Effective Date are not included as part of the Work and which are described in Appendix E (the “Option”), within the times frame and at the price stated therein. If Company exercises the Option in writing prior to the Option exercise deadline set forth in Appendix E, the Contract Price will be adjusted upward to account for the price associated with the Option and the equipment, materials and/or services associated with the Option shall become part of the Work. The specific payment, construction and/or delivery schedules associated with such Option shall be set forth in a mutually agreed upon Change Order. |
(b) Company shall pay Contractor all undisputed invoice amounts in accordance with the Payment Schedule within twenty-five (25) days of receipt of an invoice from Contractor; provided, however, in no event shall any payment be due and owing until such time as the Work associated with the applicable Payment Milestone has been satisfactorily completed and accepted by Company pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Contract (including Appendix D) and all other conditions to payment have been satisfied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of payments to be made pursuant to Payment Milestones, no payment shall be made thirty (30) days prior to the Milestone Date corresponding to the applicable Payment Milestone unless Contractor (i) has achieved the Payment Milestone for which payment is requested and due in accordance with the Payment Schedule, and (ii) all Milestones for which Contractor has submitted a Notice of Request for Payment prior to such Payment Milestone have been achieved prior to Contractor submitting its invoice with respect thereto. Payment due dates shall be on Business Days. If any payment becomes payable on a day that is not a Business Day, then payment shall be paid on the next succeeding Business Day. Company shall pay interest on any late payments, including any payment amount which Company disputes in good faith and which is later found conclusively to be have been due, at the Late Payment Rate, compounded daily from the date such amount was due. |

CONTRACT NUMBER 51008
(c) The Parties may agree to an electronic invoicing procedure whereby the receipt of an electronic invoice by Company would trigger the twenty-five (25) day payment period subject to the requirements and conditions for payment set forth in this Contract, including this Article 3. For recordkeeping purposes, Contractor shall promptly provide Company with a hard-copy of any invoice and any other supporting documentation or materials submitted to Company via any electronic invoicing procedure. |
(d) Company’s Representative shall, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of any invoice from Contractor, determine whether (i) the Work evidenced by Contractor’s invoice has been completed in conformance with the requirements of this Contract; (ii) the Work associated with the applicable Payment Milestone has been fulfilled or met; (iii) the invoice, together with any required backup information, has been properly submitted; and (iv) the invoiced amount reflects the payment due under the applicable Payment Milestone. Company’s Representative shall inform Contractor if it disputes the invoice or any portion of the invoice where and as contemplated on the Notice of Request for Payment. If Company’s Representative disputes only a portion of the invoiced amount, the remaining amount not in dispute shall be paid on or before the due date. |
(e) Notwithstanding Section 3.1(d), payment by Company of any invoiced amounts shall not be deemed acceptance of the Work or waiver of any Claims that Company may have with respect to such Work, including with respect to the completeness thereof or the compliance of such Work with Applicable Law or the terms of this Contract. |
(f) In addition to the foregoing, within five (5) Business Days after receipt by Contractor of any payment made pursuant to (i) the Payment Schedule and/or (ii) any Limited Notice to Proceed, Contractor shall deliver to Company the Retainage Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 6.1(b). |
The obligation of Company to make payments for any invoice is subject to the satisfaction or waiver by Company of each of the following conditions precedent on each Milestone corresponding to the applicable Payment Milestone for which payment is being sought pursuant to the Payment Schedule:
(a) Notice Required.

(f) If Contractor (i) desires to request a Contractor-Proposed Change or (ii) believes a Required Change is warranted, it shall in either case communicate in writing to Company via a Change Order Request the Contractor-Proposed Change or Required Change. Any request by Contractor for a Change Order under this Section 13.1(f) shall be delivered to Company in writing as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within ten (10) days after Contractor becomes aware of the circumstances which it believes necessitates or warrants a Change. In no case shall Contractor be entitled to recover Costs via a Change Order in connection with conditions that give rise to such Change Order arising prior to the date on which Contractor submits the Change Order Request, except as otherwise included in an agreed-upon Change Order. |
(g) Contractor shall be entitled to the issuance of Change Orders pursuant to this Article 13 in connection with any circumstances which constitute a Required Change; provided that Contractor shall have in all cases use or have used commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate potential delays to the Project Schedule and potential

increases to the Contract Price (the cost of such mitigation efforts to be addressed in any applicable Change Order). |
(h) No circumstances will constitute grounds for a Change Order unless and to the extent that the Costs of such Change Order are in excess of Three Thousand Dollars ($3,000). The foregoing limitation shall not apply to the extent that the activities that are the subject of separate Change Orders, one or more of which is below Three Thousand Dollars ($3,000), would, consistent with Prudent Industry Practices, the nature of the activities and the events giving rise to such Change Orders, have been the subject of a single Change Order. |
(i) Unless agreed otherwise by the Parties, the amount of a Change Order shall be equal to (i) the Costs of Contractor (labor, materials, and out-of-pocket expenses, etc.) to perform the work associated with the Change, plus (ii) a fee to be agreed upon by the Parties, plus (iii) solely in the case of a Company-Proposed Change, the Costs incurred by Contractor in preparing an estimate or proposal in connection with the work associated with such Change, which Costs shall be reimbursed by Company to Contractor without regard to whether the Company-Proposed Change results in a Change Order. Any such amounts that are paid on a cost reimbursable basis will be subject to audit by Company upon reasonable prior notice except for the fee portion thereof. |
If the Parties are in dispute on a request for a Change Order, Contractor shall, pending resolution of such dispute, nevertheless continue to perform work per the Change Order if it is a Change Order pursuant to a Required Change or Company-Proposed Change, unless Company directs Contractor not to proceed and provided that Contractor has been paid on a current basis for undisputed Work and for disputed Work which has been ordered to be paid through the dispute resolution procedures of this Contract.
Where any proposed Change or Change Order Request may give rise to an extension of any of the Project Schedule or an increase in the Contract Price, Company reserves, in its sole discretion and to the extent reasonably practicable, the right to require Contractor to vary, amend or effect such other Change to the Work in such a manner as will mitigate or avoid the requirement for such extension of time or increase in price.

Section 22.10 SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES.
THE REMEDIES SET FORTH IN THIS ARTICLE 22 FOR BREACH OF WARRANTY (OTHER THAN WARRANTY OF TITLE) ARE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES OF COMPANY FOR BREACH OF SUCH WARRANTIES. THE FOREGOING WARRANTIES ARE EXCLUSIVE AND ARE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES WHETHER WRITTEN, ORAL, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY. NO IMPLIED STATUTORY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE SHALL APPLY.
The Parties agree that it is difficult or impossible to determine with precision the amount of damages that would be incurred by Company as a result of Contractor’s failure to timely achieve Substantial Completion or to achieve the BOP Load Guarantee. Accordingly, any sums that may become payable under this Article 23 because of such failures shall be deemed (i) to be liquidated damages (“Liquidated Damages”), (ii) to not be a penalty, and (iii) to be fair and reasonable and that they represent a reasonable estimate of fair compensation for the losses and Liabilities that may reasonably be anticipated from such failures. Except in connection with Contractor’s obligation to meet the Minimum Performance Guarantees and the remedies associated with Contractor’s failure to do so, the payment by Contractor to Company of Late Substantial Completion LDs and BOP Load Guarantee LDs shall be Company’s exclusive remedies for and Contractor’s sole obligations arising out of such delay and/or deficiencies.
If Contractor fails to achieve Substantial Completion on or before the Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date, then commencing on the day following the Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date, Contractor shall pay Company Liquidated Damages, for each day until Contractor achieves Substantial Completion, in the following amounts (collectively, “Late Substantial Completion LDs”):
(a) during the initial sixty (60) days following the Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date, an amount equal to five thousand Dollars ($5,000) per day; and |
(b) after the sixtieth (60th) day following the Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date, an amount equal to ten thousand Dollars ($10,000) per day. |

(b) If Substantial Completion has occurred and the BOP Load Guarantee has not been met at Substantial Completion as demonstrated by the Final Performance Test Report, Contractor shall have the opportunity to demonstrate to Company via technical demonstration that the BOP Load falls within a reasonably expected range and that the Plant was designed in accordance with Prudent Industry Practice and in the best interests of the Company. If Company determines in its sole discretion that either or both of the items in the preceding sentence have not been met, Contractor shall have a sixty (60) day cure period (the “BOP Load Guarantee LD Cure Period”) after the Substantial Completion Date to either repair or replace the underperforming Equipment or otherwise remedy the failure to meet the BOP Load Guarantee, or pay to Company the BOP Load Guarantee LDs, all in accordance with Section 23.3(c). |
(c) Contractor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to repair or replace the underperforming Equipment, or otherwise remedy the failure to meet the BOP Load Guarantee, during the BOP Load Guarantee LD Cure Period. On or before the expiration of BOP Load Guarantee LD Cure Period, Contractor shall have demonstrated to Company’s satisfaction in Company’s sole discretion that the BOP Load Guarantee has been met. In the event of Contractor’s failure to so demonstrate, Contractor shall pay to Company Liquidated Damages in the amount of $1,800 per kW; provided, however, that the amount of BOP Load Guarantee LDs shall not exceed, in the aggregate, an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the Contract Price. |
(a) Unless otherwise set forth in this Article 23, all calculations with respect to amounts payable as Liquidated Damages under this Article 23 shall be made by Contractor and provided to Company within, and shall become due and payable (i) in the case of Section 23.2, ten (10) Business Days after the final day of each month during which such delay occurs; and (ii) in the case of Section 23.3, five (5) Business Days after expiration of the BOP Load Guarantee LD Cure Period. Company shall have the right to audit such calculations. Contractor shall itemize such calculations and such calculations shall include such supporting documentation as Company shall reasonably request and shall be in sufficient detail to permit Company to verify each calculation. Company shall notify Contractor as soon as reasonably practicable of any portion of the calculations with which Company disagrees. In the event Contractor disputes in good faith the payment of any portion of Liquidated Damages hereunder, Company shall not otherwise withhold payment or make payment of such disputed portion of Liquidated Damages one of the criteria for Substantial Completion. |

(q) If Contractor fails to require Contractors and the Subcontractors to maintain the insurance required hereunder, Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase such insurance at Contractor’s expense. |
(r) Contractor’s insurance carrier and the Subcontractors or Subcontractors’ insurance carriers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Contractor and Contractor will provide Company written notice of cancellation, termination or material alteration. |
(s) Notwithstanding any provision in this Contract to the contrary, the occurrence of any of the following shall in no way relieve Contractor from any of its obligations under this Contract: (i) failure of Contractor or any Subcontractor to procure

CONTRACT NUMBER 51008
the insurance required by this Contract; (ii) failure of Contractor or any Subcontractor to comply fully with any of the insurance provisions of this Contract; (iii) failure of Contractor or any Subcontractor to secure such endorsements on the policies as may be necessary to carry out the terms and provisions of this Contract; (iv) the insolvency, bankruptcy or failure of any insurance company providing insurance to Contractor or any Subcontractor; or (v) failure of any insurance company to pay any claim accruing under its policy. |
In regards to all insurance required to be maintained by Contractor or any Subcontractor hereunder, Contractor shall waive and shall cause its Subcontractor to waive all rights of recovery and subrogation against Company in such insurance policies.
(a) Contractor agrees to cooperate with and assist Company, as reasonably requested by Company, in Company’s procurement of any insurance required by this Contract or otherwise to be procured in connection with the Project. |
(b) Contractor agrees to provide such assistance and documentation as Company may request in connection with claims Company may make under its insurance policies purchased in connection with the Project for damage or events that occur after the Effective Date and prior to the expiration of the Warranty Period. |
Neither Party shall be considered to be in default or in breach of its obligations under this Contract to the extent that performance of such obligations is prevented by any event of Force Majeure arising after the Effective Date and such Party has otherwise complied with the requirements of this Article 27.
If either Party considers that any event of Force Majeure has occurred which may materially affect performance of its obligations under this Contract, it shall promptly notify the other Party thereof stating the full particulars and anticipated duration of the event and the performance obligations that will be affected by the event. The Party invoking Force Majeure shall provide to the other Party (i) notice of the occurrence of Force Majeure in writing within two (2) Business Days after such Party becomes aware of the occurrence and (ii) an initial written report of the potential impact of the Force Majeure event on the Work, the status of the Force Majeure event and the steps and measures undertaken or proposed to be undertaken by Contractor in connection therewith within seven (7) Business Days after the provision of the notice specified in subsection (i) and shall continue to furnish such reports on weekly basis with

CONTRACT NUMBER 51008
respect thereto during the continuation, and until the termination, of the Force Majeure. Failure to provide the notice or initial report within the time periods specified in this Section 27.2, shall preclude such Party from invoking Force Majeure with respect to such event or occurrence unless there is no adverse effect or undue prejudice on the other Party as the result of any such delay. For the avoidance of doubt, except with respect to Company-Procured Equipment, if any Subcontractor is entitled under any contract or agreement relating to the Work to excused performance on the basis of force majeure on terms additional to or broader than those set forth in this Contract, such additional or broader force majeure events shall not excuse Contractor’s non-performance of its obligations under this Contract.
Upon the occurrence of any event of Force Majeure, Contractor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to continue to perform its obligations under this Contract, and the suspension of performance shall be of no greater scope or of no longer duration than is reasonably required by the Force Majeure. Contractor shall notify Company of the steps Contractor proposes to take, including any reasonable alternative means for performance, which is not prevented by Force Majeure. Contractor shall not take any such alternative steps unless directed to do so by Company pursuant to a Change Order. Contractor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (a) mitigate all such costs and impacts on the Project Schedule and (b) remedy its inability to perform and resume its performance at the earliest practical time after cessation of the Force Majeure. The obligations of Contractor that arose prior to the Force Majeure and that are not affected by such Force Majeure shall not be excused as a result of such Force Majeure.
When the Party invoking Force Majeure is able to resume performance of its obligations hereunder, that Party will provide the other Party with written notice to that effect and will promptly resume such performance.
If circumstances of Force Majeure have occurred that have materially affected the Work and have continued for a period of forty-five (45) days in the aggregate, and there is a corresponding delay in the schedule for performance and the Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date of forty-five (45) days in the aggregate caused by the Force Majeure, then, notwithstanding that Contractor may by reason thereof have been granted an extension of the schedule for performance and the Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date by Change Order, Company shall be entitled to provide notice of its intent to terminate this Contract upon thirty (30) days notice to Contractor. If, at the expiration of such thirty (30)-day period, such Force Majeure shall still continue, Company may elect to terminate this Contract as a Voluntary Termination.

(c) Notwithstanding the existence of any Dispute, the Parties will continue to perform their respective obligations under this Contract. |
Contractor may not assign this Contract or any portion thereof (including its rights and obligations under this Contract) to any other Person, except with Company’s prior written consent, which consent shall not unreasonably withheld.
Except as set forth elsewhere herein and in Sections 31.3, 31.4, 31.5 and 31.6 of this Contract, Company may not assign this Contract or any portion thereof (including its rights and obligations under this Contract) to any other Person, except with Contractor’s prior written consent, which consent shall not unreasonably withheld.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Contract to the contrary, Company may, without the consent of Contractor, assign up to a thirty percent (30%) undivided interest in this Contract to ML&P or an Affiliate of ML&P, provided that:
(a) any such assignment shall not affect or alter the rights, obligations, duties, or limitations of liability of Company hereunder to Contractor in any manner; |

CONTRACT NUMBER 51008
of ML&P, as the case may be (or any subsequent permitted assignee of an interest in this Contract) such that Contractor’s total liability shall not exceed the amount(s) set forth in Article 24 unless the obligation in question is expressly excluded from such limitation on liability and (ii) in the event this Contract is assigned to ML&P or an Affiliate of ML&P, Contractor’s performance of any obligation hereunder for the benefit of Company shall be deemed to be performance for the benefit of ML&P or such Affiliate of ML&P, as the case may be (or any other permitted assignee) and Contractor’s performance of any obligation hereunder for the benefit of ML&P or such Affiliate of ML&P, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be performance for the benefit of Company (or any other permitted assignee). In no event shall Company and ML&P or an Affiliate of ML&P, as the case may be, collectively be entitled to recover more than one hundred percent (100%) of the damages associated with a particular Claim. Subject to the preceding set forth in this Section 31.3, upon any such assignment to ML&P or an Affiliate of ML&P, Company shall have the right to enforce this Contract on behalf of ML&P or such Affiliate of ML&P (or any subsequent permitted assignee of an interest in this Contract), as well as for itself. For that purpose, Company may commence proceedings in its own name to enforce all obligations and liabilities of Contractor and to make any Claim that ML&P or such Affiliate of ML&P, as the case may be (or any subsequent permitted assignee of an interest in this Contract) may have against Contractor under and in accordance with this Contract. The Parties agree that for the purposes of the Guaranty, the enforcement by Company of this Contract on behalf of ML&P or an Affiliate of ML&P, as the case may be (or any subsequent permitted assignee of an interest in this Contract) and the making of any Claim by ML&P or an Affiliate of ML&P, as the case may be (or any subsequent permitted assignee of an interest in this Contract) against Contractor under and in accordance with this Contract shall for the purpose of the Guaranty be considered as Claims of Company with respect to which Company shall be entitled to claim under the Guaranty subject to the terms and conditions thereof.
To the extent title has transferred to Company, Company may convey title to any or all of the Equipment and Materials to ML&P or an Affiliate of ML&P at any time without the consent of Contractor; provided, that any such assignment shall not affect or alter the rights, obligations, duties, or limitations of liability of Company hereunder to Contractor or the rights, obligations, duties, or limitations of liability of Contractor hereunder to Company in any manner. In addition, Contractor agrees that it shall not be entitled as a result of any such conveyance or assignment or otherwise to enforce or attempt to enforce any rights or remedies it may have against Company hereunder against ML&P or Affiliate of ML&P and Contractor hereby covenants with Company that it shall not do or take any actions with respect to any of the foregoing.
Company and ML&P may also assign, without the consent of Contractor, a collateral interest in this Contract to a lender as collateral security for a loan for the acquisition of Equipment, payment for the Work or the development and construction of the Plant. Under no circumstances, however, shall a collateral assignment require Contractor to deliver Equipment to

Company and/or, in the event an interest in the Contract and/or Equipment or Materials has been assigned or otherwise conveyed to ML&P or an Affiliate of ML&P under this Contract, ML&P or its Affiliate, may, without the consent of Contractor, provided that Company, ML&P and/or an Affiliate of ML&P, as the case may be, furnishes thirty (30) days prior written notice to Contractor, assign all or any portion of its interest in this Contract and/or convey title to any or all of the Equipment, Materials or Work to an entity owned and operated by a governmental authority, including the Municipality of Anchorage, a public corporate authority of the Municipality of Anchorage, a public corporation and/or instrumentality of the State of Alaska, a public corporation or instrumentality with a separate and independent legal existence and/or a political subdivision within a department of the State of Alaska, a public corporation or authority owned or operated by any of the foregoing governmental authorities, a department of a governmental agency, a joint action agency or an electric cooperative organized to own and operate generation and transmission assets.

As to Confidential Information that is not a trade secret under Applicable Law, the foregoing obligations shall expire five (5) years after the Final Completion Date. |
(c) When required by the appropriate Governmental Authority, a receiving Party may disclose the Confidential Information of the other Party to such Governmental Authority provided, however, that prior to making any such disclosure, such Party shall: (i) if reasonably possible, provide the disclosing Party with timely advance notice of the Confidential Information requested by such Governmental Authority and the intent of such Party to so disclose; (ii) minimize the amount of Confidential Information to be provided consistent with the interest of the disclosing Party and the requirements of the Governmental Authority involved; and (iii) make commercially reasonable efforts (which shall include participation by the disclosing Party as applicable in discussions with the Governmental Authority involved) to secure confidential treatment and minimization of the Confidential Information to be provided. In the event that efforts to secure confidential treatment are unsuccessful, the disclosing Party shall have the prior right to revise such information to minimize the disclosure of such Confidential Information in a manner consistent with its interest and the requirements of the Governmental Authority involved. |
(d) Company’s disclosure of Contractor Drawings and Manuals to third parties in accordance with its obligations hereunder shall not be a breach of this Article 32. |

The exhaust gas from the CTG will be directed to the OTSG where energy is recovered to generate high and low-pressure steam. Additional energy will be added by duct burners.
High pressure superheated steam from each OTSG is routed to the steam turbine generator.
Low pressure steam from each OTSG will be routed to the steam turbine generator.
Exhaust steam from the steam turbine generator will be condensed in an air cooled condenser.
Cooling water for Plant auxiliary cooling will be supplied by a multi-cell air cooled heat exchanger.
Power produced by the generator will pass through a generator step-up transformer (GSU) to an underground transmission line for delivery to a switchyard by others.
Hot flue gas leaving the steam generator will be exhausted to atmosphere. NOx emissions will be controlled by selective catalytic reduction (SCR) equipment; CO emissions will be controlled using catalytic oxidation equipment.
The power plant will be controlled by a system of local control panels, local instrumentation and a central distributed control system.
24.1.1 |
General Operating Philosophy |
The Plant design life will be 30 years. The economic design life is also 30 years. The Plant is expected to be used for base load power production to Company’s own grid system. The Plant is not a merchant plant and will be dispatched by Chugach.
The Plant will be designed for daily cycling but is expected to run base loaded in its initial years of operation.

The following is Contractor’s practice for prevention of water damage to steam turbines. The protection has been developed with turbine suppliers and Contractor experience. |
· |
Superheater attemperator spray systems have a pneumatic operated block valve installed upstream of the control valve. The control valve is held closed until a 2% demand is reached or steam flow is above a minimum value at which point the block valve is tripped open. After a time delay to allow the block valve to reach its full open position, the control valve is released to modulate. The block valve is not permitted to close until the control valve is fully closed. This logic complies with ANSI/ISA-77.13.01-1999, section 4.6.2.3. |
