Background Information: The Hastings Hydro Plant is a major asset for the City of Hastings and we believe it is the time for a comprehensive study on this aging facility. The complexities, regulation, and contract commitments need to be reviewed and analyzed to determine a full cost/benefit understanding of the entire works. This base line will allow the City to make more informed, data-based decisions regarding the Hydro Plant in the future. The study is anticipated to be completed by May 2023, therefore the information would be available for 2024 Budget planning efforts. L&S has a long history of work completed onsite and is ideally positioned to expedite the development of a preventative maintenance program. Furthermore, L&S is teaming with Barr Engineering to include their expertise in the hydroelectric field to complete the study. Financial Impact: The estimated cost for this proposal is $46,790 and we had $100,000 approved in the 2023 Budget for this work. The additional budget may be used to add scope or run additional iterations to be determined once the initial program is developed.

We propose utilizing the Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) methodology to develop the preventative maintenance program. This methodology focuses on preserving the core functions of a system based upon the values imparted by the owner of the system. With our history of the work completed onsite and Barr engineering’s expertise we plan to leverage this and plan to expedite the RCM process and use the RCM process to justify the costs and development of a preventative maintenance program to encompass all the equipment onsite. The RCM process consists of the following four elements: 1. Identifying system boundary and functions 2. Identifying specific failure modes that could potentially produce unwanted functional failures 3. Prioritizing the importance of failure modes 4. Identifying applicable and effective preventive maintenance tasks for the high-priority failure modes The first element identifies the system boundary and functions. Identification of the system boundary includes listing the equipment that will be covered in this program and identifying the functions of the entire system collectively as well as the individual system components. The following data are needed to complete the first element of this process:  Equipment list  OEM manuals-maintenance recommendations  Engineering drawings or specifications  Electrical single-line drawings L&S Electric Inc. 10200 Durand Avenue Sturtevant, WI 53177 U.S. Watts: 800-367-7676 Phone: 262-886-1875 Ext: 3724 Fax: 262-886-9202 Web: www.lselectric.com X-A-01 Motor Repair • Electrical Equipment Sales • Mechanical & Electrical Field Service • Engineered Systems  Inspection reports Barr will use the above data and information we have collected during our completed work onsite to develop system and equipment functions and a functional block flow diagram. The second and third elements identify the specific failure modes that could hinder the system and equipment functions. Barr will perform a Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to identify the failure modes that could defeat the functions. We will also perform an initial prioritization of the functions and failure modes. The FMEA and the prioritization will be presented in chart form in a spreadsheet. We will review this spreadsheet and add observations and comments based on previous experience. We anticipate that this step may take several iterations. After the iterations between L&S and Barr are complete on this step, we will present the spreadsheet to COH for its review and comment. The fourth element is the identification of preventative maintenance activities to address the high- priority failure modes. Barr proposes to select the applicable and effective preventative maintenance tasks initially based on current practice and our initial cost estimates. This data will also be entered into the FMEA spreadsheet. We will review the new data and add additional tasks and comments based upon our expertise in these area. We anticipate that this step may take several iterations. After the iterations between L&S and Barr are complete on this step, we will present the spreadsheet to COH for its review and comment. When all the reviews among L&S, Barr, and COH are complete, We will document the preventative maintenance program in a final report to be submitted to the COH. Assumptions L&S and Barr makes the following assumptions concerning this project:  Since most of the data required to complete the first element of this process has been collected by us and made available to Barr, we will not include any site visits to COH in our proposal. If a site visit is determined to be needed, the additional time and expenses will be charged at Barr’s standard rates.  There will be a maximum of two iterations among Barr, L&S, and COH during the FMEA and second and third elements of this proposal. Additional time to complete more iterations will be charged at Barr’s standard rates.  There will be a maximum of two iterations among Barr, L&S, and COH during the fourth element of this proposal. Additional time to compete more iterations will be charged at Barr’s standard rates.  The scope of the equipment included in this project are the horizontal hydroelectric turbines and generators as well as the auxiliary support equipment for these units. L&S proposes to begin this project in the first quarter of 2023 as suggested by the COH after we receive a notice to proceed. L&S proposes to complete the tasks on a time-and-materials basis. The estimated costs for the above scope on this project of $46,790.00 will not be exceeded without your prior written X-A-01 L & S ELECTRIC, INC. | Rev. 9.28.2022 Page 3 of 3 Schedule and Budget: L&S proposes to begin this project in the first quarter of 2023 as suggested by the COH after we receive a notice to proceed.

In consideration hereof, “Buyer” seeks to purchase from L & S Electric, Inc. (the “Seller”) the product, part, equipment, accessories, or material (“Goods”) and/or scope of work (“Services”) described in the applicable quotation of Seller (“Quote”) and Seller seeks to provide such to Buyer. b. Any of the terms and provisions of Buyer's order (“Purchase Order”) which are additional or different with the terms and provisions hereof, shall not be binding on the Seller and shall not be considered applicable to the sale or shipment of Goods and/or performance of Services hereunder. Buyer shall be bound by these Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) upon: (i) issuing a purchase order; (ii) Seller begins to order materials or begins Services; (iii) Seller ships Goods to Buyer, and/or (iv) Buyer accepts delivery of Goods and/or allows Services, whichever occurs first. c. This writing is intended by the Seller and Buyer as a final and exclusive expression of this agreement and no course of dealing or usage of trade or course of performance shall be relevant to explain or supplement any term expressed in these Terms. No waiver or modification of any of the Terms shall be valid unless it is made in writing and signed by both parties. The failure of the Seller to enforce any right possessed under the Terms shall not constitute a waiver thereof or establish a custom. d. In the event of conflict between contract documents and for scope of work clarity, the order or precedent shall be: (i) any duly executed Change Orders, (ii) the Quote, (iii) these Terms and Conditions, (iv) the Purchase Order (excluding all terms and conditions thereof), and (v) Buyer’s drawings, designs and specifications. 2. Prices and Term of Payment. Except as may be set forth in the Quote or other mutually agreed contract document, standard terms of payment are cash in full within thirty (30) days of invoice date. All orders are subject to the approval of the Seller's Credit Department and the Seller may require full or partial payment in advance, prorated or milestone payments shall become due as shipments or other deliverables are made or as set in the Quote. If Buyer fails to comply with terms of payment, or otherwise materially breaches, Seller reserves the right to cancel the unfilled portion of any contractor order, but Buyer shall remain liable for all unpaid accounts and for any other damages due Seller as a result of Buyer's breach of these Terms. To the extent allowed under law, Seller may charge the maximum lawful interest rate on past due amounts. Any expenses associated with collections on past due invoices shall be paid by Buyer. Buyer is responsible for all sales, use, occupation, excise or similar tax which Seller invoices as a separate line item, unless a valid tax exemption certificate, acceptable to the appropriate taxing authorities, is provided at time of order. a. Goods: Prices listed in the Quote are estimates. Seller reserves the right to modify prices based on supplier cost changes. Prices are not firm until confirmed by the suppliers at time of shipment. b. Services: Prices shall be based on the applicable time and material (“T&M”) rate sheet or lump sum total figure in the Quote. 3. Delivery of Goods and Freight. Delivery shall be made via Seller’s truck when at all possible, with the risk of loss on Seller until time of delivery. In the case that the Buyer is either out of Seller’s delivery territory or Buyer requires the material prior to Seller’s delivery date, material will be shipped via the best common carrier, f.o.b. manufacturer’s facility, where the risk of loss, delay, and damage in transit is on Buyer. Seller will take commercially reasonable efforts to comply with delivery times. However, Seller may be reliant on suppliers for deliverables which may limit Seller’s ability to meet requested specific delivery times. Accordingly, Seller disclaims “time is of the essence”, or other definitive delivery date/time commitments and will make deliveries as and when Seller is commercially able. Seller will communicate anticipated delivery timing as it becomes available. Any penalty clause or a liquidated damage provision for failure to meet shipment are not acceptable unless specifically approved in writing by an officer of the Seller and included in the Quote. 4. Changes. Seller shall have the right, with the prior approval of Buyer, to make changes in the Goods and to substitute equivalent Goods where such changes or substitutions are deemed necessary by Seller to prevent delays in manufacture or delivery or to improve the performance, producibility, stability, control, utility, maintenance or appearance of the Goods provided that such changes or substitutions shall not adversely affect the price, time of delivery, or performance of the equipment nor significantly affect its design, weight or balance. The cost of such changes shall be borne by Seller. Either party shall have the right to propose changes in the Goods or the Services to the other party prior to delivery provided that no such change shall be binding on either party until incorporated into a Change Order to this effect, executed by an authorized representative. 5. Held Orders. For any order held, suspended, delayed or rescheduled at the request of the Buyer, Seller may, at its sole option: a. For Goods: (i) require full or partial payment, based on a prorated portion of the contract price plus any additional expenses and costs resulting from such a delay, (ii) pass through increases in prices of Goods when suspension or hold is lifted, and/or (ii) store the Goods at the sole cost and risk of loss of the Buyer. Payment for such price, expenses and costs, in any such event, shall be due by Buyer within thirty (30) days from date of Seller’s invoice. Any order so held delayed or rescheduled beyond six (6) months will be treated as a Buyer termination. In the event of nonpayment or abandoned Goods, Seller may dispose of any stored Goods for which payment has not been received without any liability to Buyer. Buyer shall still owe for such storage fees and the contract price. b. For Services: (i) charge for full or partial payment, based on a prorated portion of the contract price plus any additional expenses and costs resulting from the delay, including but not limited to demobilization, remobilization, hotel accommodations, travel expenses, subcontract labor cost increases, equipment rental charges, and/or (ii) extend the project schedule for additional time to perform. 6. Titles. The title to and right of possession of the Goods (or any part or portion thereof) furnished by the Seller shall remain in the Seller and the Goods shall remain personal property until paid for in full, and the Buyer shall do all acts necessary to perfect and maintain such right and title in the Seller. 7.
