Case Title and Court: State of Texas v. Pablo R. Montes, Case No. 96-14405, 98th District Court of Travis County, Texas

Nature of Defendant's Operations: Defendant was an installer of on-site sewage systems. The Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission entered a Default Order against Defendant requiring him to pay $9,600 in administrative penalties and revoked Defendant's OSSF Installer Certificate.

The area is bounded on the west by Flor de Mayo Road, on the north by the Rodeo Subdivision, on the east by undeveloped farmland, and on the south by undeveloped farmland that has recently been annexed by the City of Brownsville. The land is unimproved at this time; Central Power & Light (CPL) is providing temporary service to a construction site on the property at this time. No other electric service is being provided. CPL is presently singly certificated to the area. BPUB will be providing water and wastewater service to the subdivision. CPL presently has a small single-phase electric line along the west side of the property along Flor de Mayo Road. There are also two short single-phase tap lines owned by CPL going into the project (one for temporary service and one not serving any customers). BPUB is proposing to extend a three-phase line from a point 500 feet south of the project along Flor de Mayo Road. On site the project will be served by underground distribution lines to the individual lots.

A Request for Information (RFI) will be issued in Project Number 23034 pursuant to the Texas Local Government Code §396.005(c)(2), which requires the Public Utility Commission of Texas (commission) to study the electric utility infrastructure of the Lubbock Reese Airforce Base Authority (Authority) and to determine a reasonable purchase price for the infrastructure. The Local Government Code also authorizes the Authority to reimburse the commission if hiring a consultant is necessary to complete the study. Government Code §2254.001 permits a governmental entity to enter into a contract for professional services for real estate appraisals.

Eligible Respondents. The commission is requesting responses from entities with experience in evaluating and appraising electric utility transmission and distribution facilities that have an interest in providing these services to the commission. Entities that meet the definition of a historically underutilized business (HUB), as defined in Texas Government Code, Chapter 2161, §2161.001, are encouraged to submit a response.

Project Description. The selected appraisal firm will study the electric utility infrastructure and facilities at Lubbock Reese Airforce Base and recommend a reasonable purchase price for the infrastructure to the commission. The facilities include the Reese AFB Main Substation. Southwestern Public Service Company (SPS) serves the Reese Main Substation by a 23 kilovolts (kV) circuit from its Carlisle Interchange. The Reese Main Substation 7500 kilovolt-ampere (KVA) transformer steps the voltage down from 23 kV to 12.47 kV. A set of three 12.47 kV 333 kVA single-phase voltage regulators in the Reese Main Substation regulates voltage on the distribution feeders. Also in the substation are a 2400 KVAR capacitor bank, a station power transformer, and a set of three-phase current transformers and voltage transformers. Five 12.47 kV feeder distribution circuits are routed out of the Reese Main Substation, consisting of four overhead three-phase grounded neutral primary electrical system feeders, and one 12.47 kV underground feeder. Two hundred ninety-one wood poles support the overhead feeders.

Selection Criteria. An appraisal firm will be selected on the basis of demonstrated competence and qualifications necessary to perform the requested services for a fair and reasonable price. Evaluation criteria will include, but are not limited to: experience of the organization in the appraisal of electric utility assets; qualifications and experience of assigned personnel; evidence or examples of completed appraisals of similar nature; descriptions of the methodologies used by the organization in developing appraisals; the total estimated fee and a detailed breakdown of the basis used to develop such estimate; the existence of potential conflicts of interest; the estimated time required to complete the appraisal; and other general evidence of ability to develop a reasonable appraised value.

The commission will evaluate responses to assist it in locating the most highly qualified appraisal firm to conduct the appraisal. The commission is not required to make its selection for an appraisal firm from among the respondents to the RFI. Respondents will be notified in writing of the selection.

Requesting a copy of the Request for Information. A complete copy of the RFI for Services to Provide a Study of the Electric Utility Infrastructure at Lubbock Reese Airforce Base and to make a recommendation on a reasonable purchase price may be obtained by writing Susan K. Durso, General Counsel, Room 7-170F, Public Utility Commission of Texas, P.O. Box 13326, Austin, Texas, 78711-3326, or emailing susan.durso@puc.state.tx.us, or calling (512) 936-7146. The RFI will be available February 16, 2001, and will be mailed to all parties who request a copy. You may also download the RFI from the commission's website www.puc.state.tx.us, under "What's New", and from the Electronic Business Daily website sponsored by the Texas Department of Economic Development at www.marketplace.state.tx.us.

For Further Information. For clarifying information about the RFI, contact Susan Durso, General Counsel, Public Utility Commission, P.O. Box 13326, Austin, Texas 78711-3326, Fax (512) 936-7003, or susan.durso@puc.state.tx.us.

Responses must be filed under seal with a cover letter for filing in Project Number 23034 and received no later than 3:00 p.m. on Monday, March 26, 2001, in the Central Records Division (Central Records) of the Public Utility Commission of Texas, Room G-113, William B.
