Oct 4, 2010 Meeting w/ Notes

Kj
4-+ PROCUREMENT: Recent awards have occurred, however high risk remains for
construction related work for other features of A -LP. NNMP, Reaches 2 through 6,
procurement has been completed. Procurement activities for the Project Operating
Facility and Lake Nighthorse boundary fencing have been completed. A pickup truck has
been ordered for the Association. No other progress on procurement of first fill heavy
equipment. Work on the contract of the installation of the security and communications
contract has been substantially completed..
4-+ MATERIALS PRICE INCREASES AND SHORTAGES: While fuel prices remain
volatile, the activities impacted by rising fuel costs have been substantially completed.
Steel prices appear to be declining, cement supplies have stabilized, and plastic pipe
appears to be fairly stable.
H FUNDING: The funding level will continue to be worthy of concern. The
magnitude of this risk has been reduced by the completion successful start of the first fill,
and recent contract awards. However, this situation has considerable risks associated
with the unknown outcome of the remaining construction activities. If the outcome of the
remaining construction work is negative or if further budget cuts occur, they could
seriously impact the Project schedule and therefore the cost of the Project. Costs related
to transfer items need to be prepared and evaluated
T PROJECT SCHEDULE: The overall Project Schedule is being impacted. Project
float has been reduced, due to hydrology related issues that are beyond our control. The

remaining eentr-aa issues. A new Contracting Qf icer has been assigned to the Project
and is transitioning into the role. The resolution of issues associated with several of the
auxiliary mechanical systems at the pumping plant may result in future delays to the
pumping schedule.
