21.2 Preliminary Tests. After the transformer is placed on the foundation and before the transformer is opened, CPS Energy will perform dew point and core ground DC insulation resistance measurements. If the results of the dew point measurement are not within the limit as required in section 19.1.13, or if the core ground DC insulation resistance measurement is not within the limits published in the manufacturer's installation instructions, the transformer will not be opened for further inspection by CPS Energy until an agreement can be reached to resolve these deficiencies. Should a transformer not meet dew point limits imposed by this requirement, the additional cost incurred by CPS Energy to properly dry the transformer during final tests and acceptance outlined in section 21.4 shall be substracted from the purchase order price. 21.3 Intermediate Inspection. Should the results of the dew point measurement and the core ground DC insulation resistance measurement prove satisfactory, CPS Energy will open the transformer for inspection and conduct a turns-ratio test on one tap. At the time CPS Energy representatives open the transformer for inspection, appropriate weather conditions must exist in the local area. Delays in the inspection due to inappropriate weather conditions are unavoidable and shall not result in any liability to CPS Energy with respect to payment schedule or otherwise. 21.4 Final Tests and Acceptance. After the transformer has been inspected and tested in accordance with section 21.2 and section 21.3, CPS Energy will pull a vacuum on the transformer, conduct another dew point test, oil fill the transformer and conduct final tests. Should the results of the final tests prove satisfactory, CPS Energy will notify the manufacturer in writing of acceptance of the transformer. The date of this letter will constitute the date of acceptance of the transformer. Should the results of the final tests prove unsatisfactory, CPS Energy will not accept the transformer but rather will notify the manufacturer in writing of any known deficiencies and payment will not be authorized until the deficiencies are corrected or resolved by the manufacturer either in the field or at an off-site repair facility. Any such transformer repaired by the manufacturer will be subject to final test again by CPS Energy. If for any reason CPS Energy should fail to perform final test on the transformer within two months after the transformer is initially placed on the foundation, or in the event of a transformer found with deficiencies within two months of the transformer being returned to CPS Energy, CPS Energy will notify the manufacturer in writing of acceptance of the transformer. 21.5 Manufacturer's Representative. The manufacturer shall provide a representative to witness the intermediate inspection. The manufacturer may at their option provide a representative during the transformer preliminary, intermediate, and final tests. CPS Energy will provide two days notice to the manufacturer when the inspection and testing is scheduled to take place.

25.0 TRANSFORMER LOSS EVALUATION 25.1 Evaluation. Transformer losses will be considered in evaluating transformer bids in accordance with the following formula - based on self-cooled rating: Evaluated Bid Price = Selling Price + (A)(Excitation Losses) + (B)(Load Losses) where the excitation losses and load losses are guaranteed losses as submitted by the manufacturer in his quotation, and factors "A" and "B" are cost per kilowatt of losses as determined by CPS Energy. Cost Factors "A" ($/kW of excitation losses) and "B" ($/kW of load losses) will be supplied by CPS Energy with the Request for Quotation. 25.2 Measurements. Measurements shall be conducted in accordance with section 19.1.4. These measurements shall then be extrapolated to the self-cooled rating for use in the formula of section 25.1. 25.3 Measurement Error. For both excitation and load loss measurements, the test report shall state the maximum measurement error percentage of the loss measurement equipment used to test the transformer. This measurement error shall be traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) by means of a test procedure described in NIST Technical Note 1204 or an equivalent procedure. If the measurement error exceeds two percent, the amount of measurement error in excess of two percent will be added to the measured losses prior to determining if the loss guarantee has been met. 25.4 Price Adjustment. If the actual losses stated in the certified test report exceed their respective guaranteed losses as stated in the quotation, then the purchase order price of the transformer shall be reduced. The actual load loss shall be the average of the eleven values as specified in section 19.1.4. If the actual losses exceed their respective quoted losses by three percent or less, the purchase order price reduction shall equal the difference between the cost of the losses used in the bid evaluation and the cost of the losses as calculated using actual losses. If the actual losses exceed their respective quoted losses by more than three percent, the penalty for the portion above three percent shall be computed at triple the stated penalty and the manufacturer may be removed from consideration for future transformer purchases. If the actual losses exceed their respective quoted losses by more than six percent, CPS Energy reserves the right to reject the transformer. 25.5 Differentiation Among Losses. The price adjustment policy contained in section 25.4 shall be applied separately to excitation losses and load losses. Certified excitation losses less than its guaranteed value shall not be used to offset the

CPS Energy Specification 424-55 Approved: March 21, 2007 Page 34

appropriate penalty associated with certified load losses greater than its guaranteed value. Certified load losses less than its guaranteed value shall not be used to offset the appropriate penalty associated with certified excitation losses greater than its guaranteed value. 26.0 BID INFORMATION REQUIRED FROM MANUFACTURER The manufacturer shall provide the following information with his proposal: a.
