CONTRACTOR: Bechtel Corporation

  

DATE OF AGREEMENT: December 18, 2004

  

 


You are hereby directed to make the following additions or modifications to, or deductions from, the Work

Contractor shall delete the High Pressure Compressor from its scope (included in the reimbursable scope) and instead install only the tie-ins and space necessary for a “Future” diesel driven compressor. All other requirements of the Agreement shall remain the same.

Discussions with FERC indicate that they feel a High Pressure Sendout Compressor is required in case the LNG Tanks are de-inventoried in order to “mothball” the LNG Terminal. Since this is a very remote possibility, and since venting of this gas is neither a safety nor environmental concern, Owner will present formal arguments to FERC to delete this requirement. Failing this, Owner will propose to FERC that only connections and space are provided for this compressor. If the Terminal is mothballed, Owner will purchase or rent a portable compressor(s), heater, and other equipment, install it, and accomplish the required transfer to the pipeline.

Contractor shall proceed with design as described above and prepare the required documentation, including a completed Schedule D-3 in accordance with Article 6.1A of the Agreement.

Contractor shall commence with the performance of the change(s) described above on January 25, 2005.

This Change Order is signed by Owner’s duly authorized representatives.

The Agreement between the Parties listed above is changed as follows:

On March 14, 2005, Owner requested Contractor to delay placement of the following insurance coverages required under Section 7.1.B, Section 9.1 and Attachment O in the EPC Agreement as part of its effort to reduce the Actual Insurance Costs: the insurance coverages required under Section 1A.5, 1A.6, 1A.7, 1A.8, 1A.11, 1A.12 and 1A.14 of Attachment O; the increase in the coverage under Section 1A.4 of Attachment O from minimum limits of U.S.$10,000,000 to U.S.$100,000,000 each occurrence and aggregate; and certain insurance coverages specified in Section 1A.9 and 1A.10 of Attachment O, as specified in greater detail below.

In accordance with Attachment O, Section 1.B, Contractor shall procure the coverages specified in Sections 1A.4 (having the minimum limits of U.S. $100,000,000 for each occurrence and aggregate), 1A.5, 1A.6, 1A.7, 1A.8, 1A.11, 1A.12 and 1A.14 of Attachment O no later than June 3, 2005.

In accordance with Attachment O, Section 1.B, Contractor shall procure a portion of the coverages required under Sections 1A.9 and 1A.10 of Attachment O no later than NTP or as soon as reasonably possible thereafter. The Parties agree that the portion of insurance under Section 1A.9 and 1A.10 which is required to be procured by NTP or as soon as reasonably possible thereafter is specified in the attached term sheet. The difference in coverages between (a) the coverages specified in Section 1A.9 and 1A.10 of Attachment O and (b) the coverages specified in the attached term sheet shall be procured by Contractor no later than June 3, 2005. The terms and coverages specified in the attached term sheet are only approved for the purpose of determining the coverages required to be provided up to June 3, 2005.

Contractor’s obligation to notify and document the Actual Insurance Cost in Section 7.1.B of the Agreement shall be extended to June 3, 2005.

Owner understands that there is the potential that as a result of delayed purchase of those Project Insurances specified above that: 1) the final costs for the Project Insurances may increase beyond what would be obtainable at NTP, and 2) certain coverages required in the Project Insurances may become unavailable due to changes in the insurance market. The cost of the Project Insurances payable by Owner to Contractor shall be as provided under Section 7.1B.

Air Permit Revision by T-Thermal - Best Available Control Technology (BACT)

 


The Agreement between the Parties listed above is changed as follows:

In accordance with the EPC Agreement, Attachment A, Schedule A-l, Section 13.2, Owner directs Contractor to modify submerged combustion vaporizers as necessary to meet the requirements of the air permit. This includes the following:

 

  1.) Basic BACT emission compliance (40 ppm NOx to 30 ppm NOx): Consists of blower motor HP increase from 600 to 800 HP, increased flue gas sparger size to accommodate the increased flue gas flow, increased combustion air piping to accommodate the increased air flow and more sophisticated fuel/air ratio controls.

 

  2.) Compliance with reduced CO (80 ppm to 40 ppm) per LDEQ permit is not required; however, Owner agrees to fund initial design, drafting and project management already expended by T-Thermal in its efforts to achieve CO emissions (80 ppm to 40ppm).

 

  3.) Increased stack height: From 38 feet to 42 feet above bottom of SCV as directed by Owner

On June 27, 2005, a meeting was held among Owner, Bechtel and the SCV supplier (T-Thermal), to review scope of work and pricing provided by T-Thermal to Contractor in BECR-004, dated June 3, 2005. This Change Order incorporates Owner’s (J. Kaucher and D. Granger) selection of work scope and agreement on direct pricing from T-Thermal to Contractor, Owner’s direction to delete the requirement of 40ppm CO at 3% O2 necessary to comply with the current LDEQ permit (Note: Owner advised Bechtel a permit revision request would be submitted and obtained from LDEQ for this), and incorporation of pricing methodology agreed between Bechtel and Owner on August 3, 2005.

Resurvey of Benchmarks for Vertical Datum

 


The Agreement between the Parties listed above is changed as follows:

Reference EPC Agreement, Article 4.8 and Attachment U, Item 2, Owner Supplied Data.

The original topographical survey provided by Owner in the EPC Agreement was incorrect. Based on the above documents, Owner provided revisions to topographical survey data that correctly identifies the Site topography as one foot (1’) plus lower than the original survey data benchmark provided in the EPC Agreement. This revision resulted in a Scope of Work change due to additional required quantities of fill materials and related home office and Site activities.

 

A. The difference between the original and revised Scope of Work results in following additional fill materials:

Ÿ

  Process area    29,760 cy

Ÿ

  Administration Building    1,750 cy

Ÿ

  N2 Package    870 cy
   

Ÿ

  Total additional fill    32,380 cy

 

B. Subcontract cost for additional fill materials:

Ÿ

  Excavate, Haul Install    $ 312,467

Ÿ

  Stabilize Fill at 8% Lime    $ 387,259
   

Ÿ

  Total Cost    $ 699,726

 

C. Basis for Cut and Fiji Quantities in the Model:
  Ÿ   Process areas elevated to +12 feet
  Ÿ   Concrete foundations are erected on top of fill material
  Ÿ   Avoids working on elevated structures
  Ÿ   Additional materials are assumed to be available from the Marine Berth area

Note: The lower Site results in increased storm water drainage requirements. Ditch and culvert sizes will be increased, however, these increases are considered to be within Contractor’s design development activities.

 

D. Home Office Job Hours:
  Ÿ   Engineering - 250 Hours (C/S/A 150 plus Geo-Tech 100)
  Ÿ   Project Support - 75 Hours

 

E. See attached Bechtel drawing SKC-000-00004, Revision A “Civil Site Development - Rough Grading Excavation and Backfill”.
