We assumed a contract award <br />date of April 7, 2015, based on the RFP with a one (1) week lag from award date to project kickoff <br />meeting. A delay in the award date would delay the schedule start date, but the overall estimates for <br />task completions should not be affected. <br />Contract award Date 7 -Apr <br />Project Planning and Kickoff 14 Apr <br />Information Gathering and Analysis <br />1 -May <br />AMI Opportunity Assessment 8-May <br />Technical Infrastructure and Architecture 22 -May <br />Business Case Development 5 -Jun <br />Project Design and Implementation 12 -Jun <br />-Final Report and Presentation s 24 Jun <br />Black & Veatch has found that a key determinant of the length of an AMI feasibility study engagement <br />is often the availability of the utility resources.

Additionally, in the event that the project team is able to move more rapidly <br />through the tasks, the project will accelerate accordingly. <br />EXCEPTIONS AND DEVIATIONS <br />Black & Veatch and City of Santa Ana successfully executed a contract dated October 17, 2011 <br />(Referenced Agreement).
