SECTION 1. THAT the City Council of the City of Lubbock hereby approves changes
to the City of Lubbock Budget FY 2019-20 (Budget Amendment #4)for municipal purposes, as
follows:
1. Amend CIP # 92464, Future substation — X-Fab, by changing the name of the project
from"Future Substation—X-Fab"to "X-Fab I I5kV Station"to better align project with
construction work.
II. Amend CIP # 92473, Future Substation —New Oliver 345kV, by changing the name of

Station"to better align project with construction work.The project scope and justification
update is as follows:
Project Scope: This project covers the engineering, purchase, installation, and testing of
two 345/115kV Auto Transformers; two 345kV breakers; a new 115kV yard to
accommodate the line to Oliver (92661), line to Southeast (92533), and the two
transformer positions; and other equipment to establish the 345/115kV substation.
Project Justification: The "4ow" approved by the PUCT, calls for two 345/115kV
transformers and a new I I5kV New Oliver station.
FERC Accounts: 350,352,353
Estimated Useful Life: 30 years
III. Amend CIP#92475, Future Substation—New Wadsworth 345kV,by changing the name
of the project from "Future Substation — New Wadsworth 345kV" to "Wadsworth
345/115kV Transformers" to better align project with construction work. The project
scope and justification update is as follows:
Project Scope: This project covers the engineering, purchase, and installation of two
345/115kV Auto Transformers. It also covers the engineering and purchase of two
345kV breakers,which LP&L will install.
Project Justification: The "4ow" approved by the PUCT, calls for two 345/115kV
transformers at LP&L's Wadsworth station.
FERC Accounts: 350,352,353
Estimated Useful Life: 30 years
IV. Amend CIP #92526, 115kV Line Construction— Northwest to X-Fab, by changing the
name of the project from "I l5kV Line Construction -Northwest to X-Fab" to "North to
X-Fab I I5kV Line"to better align project with construction work. The project scope is
as follows:
Project Scope: Construct a new 115kV double-circuit transmission line from the North
345/115kV Substation to the X-Fab Substation.The initial scope for this project involves
a study to investigate and determine possible routes for the new transmission line. For
the purpose of financial modeling, it is assumed that the line will be 15 miles long. The
ultimate line length will be determined by the route selected following the routing study.
The transmission line conductor is planned to be double-circuit 959.6 aluminum
conductor steel supported thermal wire (ACSS/TW) with an optical ground wire
(OPGW)static neutral wire. However,the final determination of the conductor is subject
to change based on the engineering analyses of the physical construction. The primary
factor to consider in selecting conductor is the percent loading of the line and the effective
sag it has on the line. The project includes the estimated engineering, right-of-way
(ROW) acquisition, routing, permitting, material, and construction cost associated with
constructing the transmission line.
V. Amend CIP #92533, 115kV Line Construction - SE to New Oliver to Oliver, by
decreasing the appropriation and funding in the amount of $14,702,427, from
$23,945,000 to $9,242,573, and changing the name of the project from "I l5kV Line
Construction- SE to New Oliver to Oliver"to "New Oliver to Southeast 115kV Line"to
better align project with construction work. The project scope and justification update is
as follows:
Project Scope: The"4ow"approved by the PUCT requires two 115kV feeds into LP&L's
existing south loop. This line fulfills one of those needs. The transmission line conductor
is planned to be 959.6 aluminum conductor steel supported thermal wire (ACSS/TW)
with an optical ground wire (OPGW) static neutral wire. However, the final
determination of the conductor is subject to change based on the engineering analysis of
the physical construction.The primary factor to consider is the percent loading of the line
and the effective sag it has on the line. The project includes the estimated engineering,
ROW acquisition, material, and construction cost associated with constructing the
transmission line.
Project Justification: The existing topology of the transmission system shows no 115 kV
Transmission South of the existing Oliver Substation, however, the ERCOT integration
will require three (3) new 115 kV Transmission Lines to tie into the 345 kV ERCOT
power grid. This line will be one of the three.
The "4ow" approved by the PUCT, calls for two 115kV feeds from New Oliver
substation. New Oliver to Southeast and New Oliver to Oliver transmission lines must
be independent projects.
FERC Accounts: 350, 355, 356
Estimated Useful Life: 30 years
VI. Amend CIP #92609, Abernathy to North Transmission Line, by decreasing the
appropriation and funding in the amount of $5,500,000, from $31,295,000 to
$25,795,000, and changing the name of the project from "Abernathy to North
Transmission Line" to "Abernathy to North Transmission 345kV Line" to better align
project with construction work. The project justification update is as follows:
Project Justification: In Commission Docket No. 47576, the Commission approved
LP&L's proposal to transition a portion of its system from the Southwest Power Pool
(SPP) electric grid to the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) electric grid
pursuant to a transmission interconnection plan known as Option "4ow" developed by
ERCOT. The Commission determined that, under the terms of its order, the transition is
in the public interest. This project is an important part of the infrastructure needed to
ensure the LP&L system can safely and reliably operate in ERCOT.
Original cost estimates were higher than what the CCN analysis developed as the official
cost estimate. Reducing budgeted amount for this project to support other projects that
are part of the ERCOT Integration program and were not split out during initial project
budgeting.
VII. Amend CIP#92610,Abernathy to Wadsworth Transmission Line,by changing the name
of the project from "Abernathy to Wadsworth Transmission Line" to "Abernathy to
Wadsworth Transmission 345kV Line" to better align project with construction work.
Decrease the appropriation and funding in the amount of$9,000,000, from $64,825,000
to $55,825,000. This project will utilize $9.0 million less in Revolving Note Program
funding.
VIII. Establish CTP #92661, New Oliver to Oliver I I5kV Line and appropriate funding in the
amount of $14,702,427. The project will utilize Revolving Note Program funding
reallocated from CIP #92533, New Oliver to Southeast 115kV Line. The project scope
and justification is as follows:
Project Scope: The"4ow"approved by the PUCT requires two 115kV feeds into LP&L's
existing south loop. This line fulfills one of those needs. The transmission line conductor
is planned to be 959.6 aluminum conductor steel supported thermal wire (ACSS/TW)
with an optical ground wire (OPGW) static neutral wire. However, the final
determination of the conductor is subject to change based on the engineering analyses of
the physical construction.The primary factor to consider is the percent loading of the line
and the effective sag it has on the line. The project includes the estimated engineering,
ROW acquisition, material, and construction cost associated with constructing the
transmission line.
Project Justification: The "4ow" approved by the PUCT,calls for two I I5kV feeds from
New Oliver substation. New Oliver to Southeast and New Oliver to Oliver transmission
