As far as I know, there have been no change orders (unless my memory is failing, which is a possibility!). Kay Dale Rasmussen@ECT 10/16/2000 11:40 AM To: Kay Mann/Corp/Enron@Enron cc: Subject: Re: ABB Transformers for Enron--Las Vegas Project (LNL9518) Kay: Do you know whether EE&CC has someone keeping watch over the ABB transformer contract & associated change orders, and if so, who that might be? I need to get a good read on what CO number we are up to, etc. Hope things are well with you. ---------------------- Forwarded by Dale Rasmussen/HOU/ECT on 10/16/2000 07:28 AM --------------------------- Don Hammond 10/13/2000 05:04:46 PM To: Dale Rasmussen/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Jody Blackburn/PDX/ECT@ECT Subject: Re: ABB Transformers for Enron--Las Vegas Project (LNL9518) Dale, will you get involved in this change order as well? Hopefully, this one will be much simpler than the GE change order since we are just changing design parameters for two units on the existing order. Ed has already indicated an ok for this added expenditure. Jody, can you assist again? Sorry, but I will be in Las Vegas again until next Wednesday. I'm available by cell phone (503-703-4600) if I need to do something on this or there are any questions. The ABB e-mail contains the transformer identifier numbers and new parameters. My conference call notes of the requested changes are also attached. The total losses for the loss guarantee increase from 218 to 240 kW per the attached. The original contract is in the file and another copy is on my desk for reference if needed. I think all the information is here and just needs to be put into the proper format. Thanks. ---------------------- Forwarded by Don Hammond/PDX/ECT on 10/13/2000 04:22 PM --------------------------- Don Hammond 10/13/2000 04:06:18 PM To: karla.hesketh@us.abb.com cc: don.hammond@enron.com, michael.o.sandridge@us.abb.com, Jody Blackburn/PDX/ECT@ECT, Lisa Bills/Corp/Enron@ENRON, Sheila Tweed/HOU/ECT@ECT, Ben Jacoby/HOU/ECT@ECT, Robert Chmielewski/ENRON_DEVELOPMENT@ENRON_DEVELOPMENT, Ed Clark/PDX/ECT@ECT Subject: Re: ABB Transformers for Enron--Las Vegas Project (LNL9518) We confirm that we wish to proceed with the changes as discussed in our conference call and described in your e-mail included below. We will promptly initiate a change order to the original contract with ABB that included the purchase of these two units in the amount of $99,000 (two units at $49,500 each).

Internal Mike, As requested, we have looked at the original design of the Enron Las Vegas 84/112/140MVA units (SO# LNL9518-1 & -2) and find that we can not be compliant with the items as described in Don Hammond's conference call notes as shown below , unless we do a re-design. We can still build the adjusted units in the original production schedules, given the timely authority to proceed in that new direction. If the units are built according to the new re-designed parameters , ABB would have to make the necessary material and performance changes to get to Enron's desired characteristics, especially for the impedance change and the necessity to perform in a higher ambient temperature. Overall this re-design will require a price adder to each of the 2 transformers, of $49,500.00/each . Key factors in this cost adder would be the engineering re-design effort, the additional radiators required, and the use of high delivery fans. The overall footprint dimensions and guaranteed performance of the transformer also must be adjusted to meet the new parameters requested , as follows: Characteristic New Design Original Design H/X Impedance 13% 9% Ambient Temp 46 degree C 40 degree C Sound (dBA) 70/72/73 70/72/73 Overall Length 315" 350" Overall Depth 238 195 Overall Height 232 243 NL Losses(KW) 43 57 Load Losses(KW) 197 161 Total (KW) 240 218 Aux Losses(KW) 9 6.5 Please provide this data to Enron and confirm that we are to proceed with this adjustment ASAP, so that we can complete engineering on the new design, and then provide the drawing information that Enron has requested from our drafting department. That drafting effort has been put on hold until these redesign issues are resolved. The confirming Enron change notice for the technical and the monetary changes will also be required. Please advise when you think that we will have feedback on these changes from Enron.
