Subject: Contract Terms with California Energy Commission

Dear Colleagues:

The California Energy Commission (CEC) is implementing a (PIER) Public
Interest Energy Research Program. CEC has issued several RFPs. The RFPs
have provided contract terms and stated they are nonnegotiable and if any
exceptions are taken, the proposal will be nonresponsive.

While these RFPs were being issued, RAO had been negotiating contract
terms with the CEC since August 1997. Terms were finally agreed to on May
12, 1998. A copy of the final contract as approved by the Department of
General Services was received on July 12, 1998. The terms were specifically
to provide transition funding for the California Institute of Energy
Efficiency (CIEE) located at LBNL. This arrangement contemplated CIEE
managing Projects performed at LBNL, several UC campuses, Stanford, and two
small businesses. The prime contract requires flow down of prime contract
clauses in "subcontracts." So, the subcontracts (actually subagreements)
with UC Campuses will include the flow down clauses from the prime
contract. It is expected that since RAO accepted the clauses on behalf of
the UC Regents, the flowdown terms in the subagreements will be accepted by
the campuses. With respect to contracts CEC awards directly to UC Campuses,
some of the admiinistrative terms negotiated by RAO for the CIEE are likely
to be modified to reflect the direct contracting relationship with the CEC.
The core substantive terms are expected to be the same.

The RFPs have provided for questions to be asked, and answered. RAO asked
whether the contract terms for universities in the RFP would be used in
contracts with UC campuses, or if the terms RAO was negotiating would be
used. The formal written answer was the later terms would be used. Please
note that answers from the CEC change according to who is answering the
question and when. Even though we believe the terms negotiated by RAO will
be used with UC campuses, there still may be additional changes by CEC.

The situation of having to submit proposals without knowing what the
contract terms will be has been awkward.

The purpose of this email is to provide commentary on the terms accepted
by RAO for the CIEE, and which terms CEC said would be applied to direct
contracts with UC campuses. The prime contract terms are attached. A hard
copy of this email and the final contract will be mailed to you by
separate cover.

The eight month negotiation process was very difficult. RAO made some
yards on some topics, but made very limited progress on others. Please be
aware there are a number of contract terms which vary widely from the norm
we usually operate from in public contracts. I will point out these
differences in the following commentary.

Commentary on CEC Prime Contract for the CIEE:

A. Commentary on General Terms:

1. CEC prior approval of PI and Key Personnel substitutions.

General Terms (GT) Para. 6. Project Management Subpara. C. requires CEC
prior written approval of PI and key personnel substitutions. We tried for
CEC concurrence, but CEC required prior approval. CEC wanted to approve all
personnel, but we limited their approval to PI and other key personnel who
are instrumental in directing the project.

2. When may costs start?

The answer is not clear. This should be checked out with the CEC for each
contract. GT Para. 7. Project Budgets Subpara. A. specifies CEC will
reimburse project costs from the date of the CEC Business Meeting date of
approval. The contract is not effective until DGS approves it. But it
appears that costs may be incurred beginning on the date of the CEC
approval which preceeds the DGS approval. Yet in Exhibit D Paragraph 1.
Definition E. 1. states that reimbursable expenses can begin after DGS
approval. This implies costs incurred before DGS approval cannot be
reimbursed. Notwithstanding these statements, GT Para. 10. states that
funds for a project will not be advanced until a revised project plan is
approved by the CEC. This is a step, IN ADDITION TO AND AFTER the contract
approvals by CEC and DGS which included the initial proposal and budget.
This is a clear aberation from the norm, so be careful to clarify with the
CEC when they will recognize costs.

3. Rebudgeting.

GT 7. Subpara. B. authorizes rebudgeting up to 15% of a project budget
category. The CEC wanted to apply this rebudgeting control to the task
level below the project level. Be aware that CEC may try to apply the
control to the task level. We put major energy into raising the control to
the project level.
There should be no task level budgets.
4. Advance Payment Vs Payment in Arrears

GT 8. provides for advance payments. The process is submission of a
request for advance payment, and then submission of a quarterly
reconciliation report. We were able to eliminate the requirement for backup
documentation and detail about salaries and travel from the request for
advance payment, but CEC transferred the requirement for salary detail to
the quarterly reconciliation report. For a direct contract from CEC to a UC
campus, the advance payment process may be more trouble than it is worth.

It is possible for campuses to negotiate payment in arrears. However, the
CEC is likely to to ask for salary detail. We were not successful in
eliminating this requirement. We do believe we obtained CEC agreement not
to require backup documentation for each invoice regarding travel detail
and purchases. If CEC asks for this, you may stand behind this contract
which does not require this backup detail.

5. 10% Withholding from each invoice.

GT 8. Payments Subpara. F. specifies the CEC will withhold 10% from each
invoice until the very end of the contract. We believe this is excessive
and unreasonable. The CEC believes it is absolutely necessary. So be aware
of this requirement and impact on cash flow.

6. Restrictions on CEC's rights to previous existing IP.

GT 9. Subpara A. addresses what IP exists before the contract, to which
CEC has no rights. You may have to determine and report to CEC if there are
IP rights for your projects which exist before the contract, to which CEC
will have no rights.

Commentary on Exhibit D Definitions and Additional Contract Terms for the
University of California

1. Contract performance obigations and costs extend beyond the termination
date.

Para. 1. Definitions. states in C. that the project performance may extend
beyond the "contract period." However, note that in E. 2) that costs may
not be incurred and billed to the CEC past the termination date. This is a
variation from the norm of contracting where performance ends on the
termination date and so does the authority to incurr and be reimbursed for
costs. So be aware there are reporting requirements up to 15 years after
the end of the contract.

2. Approval of Subcontractors and Substitutions.

Exhibit D. Para. 3 A. 2) requires CEC approval of subcontractors and any
substitutions. Normally we do not agree to approval but to consent.
However, CEC was adamant on this point.

3. UC contracting Policies and procedures.

Exhibit D. Para. 3. Subpara. B requires UC to provide CEC with a copy of
UC contracting procedures. RAO will do this for all UC Campuses and LBNL.
This will be accomplished by downloading a copy of BUS 43 from the www and
mailing it to CEC. You do not have to duplicate this. If you are asked to,
say this has already been done by RAO. If there is still a problem, refer
it to me.

4. Risk of loss or damage to equipment.

Exhibit D. Para. 4. C. 3) requires UC to assume all risk for maintenance,
repair, damage or destruction to CEC titled equipment. CEC was adamant.
Normally we do not agree to "insure" against all risk of loss or damage.
This is a potential unfunded liability. However, when we looked at most of
the budgets for CIEE projects, there was no budget for equipment. We
suggest that equipment not be bought with CEC funds.

5. Delivery of all data produced under the contract.

Exhibit D. Para. 6 Subpara. B. 2) requires UC to deliver a copy of all
data generated under the contract. This is patently ridiculous. We were
able to get CEC to agree that it is not practical or useful to deliver all
data. So this has to be worked out case by case after award with the CEC
Contract Manager.

6. Notice by UC to contract participants.

Exhibit D. Para. 6. F. 5) requires UC to notice contract participants of
the restrictions about disclosure of contract data, information, reports
and records. This is an express requirement.

7. IP Reductions to Practice 42 Months after the contract is over.

Exhibit D, Para. 6. Subpara. J. 4) is clearly beyond the norm. The norm is
reporting of IP conceived and reduced to practice during the contract term.
The CEC is requiring that IP be reported if it is reduced to practice up to
42 months after the contract terminates. You should alert your PIs that
this is the case.

A similar requirement applies to software. See subpara. M. which requires
giving CEC a license for software derivatives and upgrades that may be
developed within 42 months following the termination of the contract.

8. Travel documentation and Per Diem Rates.

Exhibit D. Para.13. Subpara. C. authorizes the use of per diem rates as
approved by the UC Regents. This is in lieu of having to comply with State
per diem rates.

Note that Subpara. D. requires documentation of travel in UC financial
records, but does not require submissioin of documentation of each travel
claim or detail about each trip. This was a major battle to accomplish
these outcomes. Beware of CEC backsliding on these two areas. If there is
an issue, let me know.

9. CEC Audit Rights.

Exhibit D. Para. 14 Subpara. G. permits CEC to conduct audits. If CEC does
a standard audit, CEC pays for it. If there is a finding, and CEC does a
special ausit, UC pays. This is a clear deviation form normal practice. But
the CEC was adamant. This audit requirement is the CEC response to "giving"
on requiring source documentation for all equipment purchases and travel
costs. You need to be aware this is a potential unfunded liability which
may require a campus fund source other than the CEC contract.

10. Payments to Commission.

Exhibit D. Para. 17 requires payments to CEC in the event UC or its
subcontractors obtain royalty income from IP or revenue from sales of
products which were derived from IP paid for by CEC under the prime
contract. This is a clear aberation from normal public contracting. OTT
staff were directly involved in negotiating these terms.

Royalty payments are based on net royalties. So it is anticipated that
this may occur infrequently.


If a campus enters into a "subagreement" under the CIEE Prime contract,
all repayments, if any, will be forwarded to Joe Acanfora OTT Campus Liason
for submission to CEC. If a campus received a contract directly from CEC
and the campus has its own IP program, the campus will submit the repayment
directly to CEC. If it does not have its own program, OTT will have to
submit the repayment to CEC on behalf of the campus.

No doubt there will be many more questions. Since I lead the negotiation
with the CEC on the CIEE contract, you may direct questions directly to me.
We all understand as colleagues that we do the best we can, but there are
limits which we cannot overcome.

I hope this commentary is helpful.

Regards,

David
