Recovery Mechanism
SC Base Load Review Act (BLRA) • Up front prudency • Annual cash rate increase for financing costs • Minimizes capitalized interest (<5%) • Allows for escalation • Quarterly public filings of status, areas of focus, etc…

Project Risk Management Considerations
Select appropriate contracting structure
Define project scope Allocate “All” risks by contract Develop project controls systems Integrate the project controls
system requirements into the contract
Ensure adequacy of project management resources

EPC Model Advantages
Reasonable cost certainty at time of contracting
Typically performed on lump sum, target price or guaranteed maximum price basis
Preferred by Lenders Lower risk profile for the Owner Contractor responsible for overall
delivery of engineering, procurement, and construction
Owner is insulated from most construction claims
Project duration is typically reduced
Disadvantages
Owner typically pays a “Risk” premium
Owner cedes control of various aspects of the Project to EPC Contractor Selection of Engineer Equipment vendor &
technology selection Constructor & Subcontractors
Fewer potential bidders “All of the eggs are in one basket” Potentially catastrophic
consequences if EPC Contractor or a Major Supplier Defaults

Prudency – Initial Considerations 1. Have appropriate processes and approvals been established for
technology selection, initial scope, budget and schedule development, and financing decisions?
2. Which project delivery systems are appropriate for this project? 3. Which project delivery system was selected? 4. Were reasonable alternatives considered? 5. Has each step of the decision-making process been adequately
documented? 6. Have appropriate internal controls and procedures been implemented? 7. Has an appropriate internal project management team been selected and
staffed? 8. Should outside expertise be engaged to assist the internal project
management team (legal, project management, scheduling and project controls, engineering, auditing, risk management, document retention, and other functions)?

Claims Mitigation
• “E and P Come Before C” • Establish project controls
that allow “Real-Time” project status monitoring
• Proactively mitigate impacts to schedule, cost, and performance
• Early identification and mitigation is the key to effective claims management
