The specific Board motion can be found at: http://www1.caiso.com/pubinfo/BOG/documents/motions/20000525/Board/SDGEValle yRainbow500KVProject.htm and additional information on the project can be found at http://www.caiso.com/thegrid/planning/sdge500kvtrans.html. These matters are scheduled to be addressed at the August 1 Board meeting. Attached is a memo that outlines ISO Management's preliminary thoughts and recommendations on how to structure the process for conducting and the parameters of the Valley-Rainbow RFP. Please provide us your thoughts and feedback on these matters no later COB Friday, July 21. Please send your comments to: sgreenleaf@caiso.com and btheaker@caiso.com . While the recommendations outlined below are clearly a work-in-progress, it is imperative that we receive your substantive feedback early so that we can develop a fair and reasonable final recommendation. Thanks for your time and consideration. <<000711 STG Valley-Rainbow - Market Participants.rtf>> Steve Greenleaf Director, Regulatory Affairs Brian Theaker Manager, Reliability Contracts - 000711 STG Valley-Rainbow - Market Participants.rtf
