DATE OF CHANGE ORDER: June 7, 2007

 

Bundle of Changes #10 –

(A) Master Gas Metering Changes;

(B) Plant Communication Changes;

(C) Correction of Change Order Amount Errors; and

(D) Operating Spare Part Allowance Credit.


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

 

A. Master Gas Metering Skid (Trend T-1048)

Change Master Gas Metering from a prefabricated Metering Skid packaged unit to an unpackaged (component) metering station. The changes to the Master Gas Metering Package are documented in design change notices (DCN) 25027-001-M6N-DK-00152, 25027-001-M6N-DK-00183, and 25027-001-M6N-DK-00195. In pertinent part, the changes include the following:

1) Foundation changed from a concrete table-top to a structural steel platform;

2) Additional flow computer added and the number of flow meters increased from 3 to 4;

3) On/off piping valves added;

5) Two tie-ins for future meters added;

4) Piping tie-in for Phase 2 scope added;

6) On/off valve relocated; and

7) Pipe spools added for future valves.

 

B. Plant Communication Changes (Trend T-1067)
   

Upgrade to Cisco Voice-Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) instead of NEC (Nippon Electric Company) telecommunications system.

   

Upgrade Cisco Call Manager Server from MCS7925 to MCS 7835.

   

Upgrade from CE500 switches to CE3560 switches.

   

Reduce ATA Devices from eight (8) devices to four (4) devices.

   

At tug berth area, replace existing turnstile/card reader/intercom installations with one centrally located junction box.

   

At both jetty locations, replace existing turnstile/card reader/intercom installations with a junction box offering future connections for access control and electrical power.

 

C. Change Order Amount Corrections (Trends T-1005/T-1058)

1) Change Order SP/BE-042 reflected an amount of $237,448 for Trend T-1005 (Gas Chromatograph). The correct amount should have been $223,059. This Change Order represents a credit for the difference of -$14,389.

2) Change Order SP/BE-045 mistakenly omitted the amount for Trend T-1058 (Capital Asset Register) in the Adjustment to Contract Price section of the Change Order. This Change Order represents a charge for Trend T-1058 in the amount of +$11,330.

The net credit for this line item #C is -$3,059.00.

 

D. Transfer of Operating Spare Part Allowance (Trend T-2003)

This Change Order represents a credit in the amount of -$2,164,436 to facilitate a transfer of the balance of the Operating Spare Part Allowance to Sabine Pass LNG, L.P. as agreed per Reference Document D-3.
