compliance for NERC Cyber 1200 Standards NERC Standards?
    Few responded
    Ken Scott, Westar – A team included Facilities, IT Security, Security, Sponsoring
       VP. They have certified documentation and appropriate badging. Standards
       require maintenance and upkeep of records for those certified. Southwest Power
       Pool has provided support and guidance.
    Frank Baca, Duke Energy Corporation -- Nuclear departments did not want to
       outsource their Facilities. Has access control and has implemented pieces of the
       requirement.
    Jean Sayles, OPPD -- has gone through certification for NERC Compliance on
       Janitorial Staff.

Q. How many companies are using NFPA 70E Flash Protection/Flash Potential – PPE
(Personal Protective Equipment) over 110, NEC and OSHA references?
     Terry Shields – Alliant Energy, Some equipment has been identified. Estimate
       for Arc Analysis for a building with about 30 panels $40K.

Q. What companies have Outsourced the FM Functions?
    John Bartel, Xcel Energy -- Whole FM Group was outsourced, now they have
     out-tasked and staff augmenting. Colorada, Texas, and New Mexico is
     outsourced and others such as the Dakota’s is Union and in-house. Must create
     clear separation with staff augmented and in-house. Outsourced Call Center.
    Brian Riley, Tolin/Xcel -- Colorado Outsourcer for Xcel, provided expertise on
     staff as a shared resource to many owners and not fully dedicated vs. a 2080 Hour
     FTE.
    Ken Beler, FM outsourced, Help Desk outsourced all through Cushman
     Wakefield - Real Estate in House.
    Tom Plauche, Entergy – Outsourcing was not a money savings venture (initially
     remained flat, maybe some money saved in benefits). O&M Capital Renovation
     Cost remain same. Greatest gain is Flexibility in staffing. Lessons Learned –
     Must treat the employees as part of the family.
    Scott Leadbetter, Idaho Power Company -- Concern in using staff and treating
     like a Company employees -- IRS 20 Rules for Co-employment.
    Curtis Slife, FM Solutions – Suggested recognizing noticeable distinction
     between Co-Sourcing and Out-Sourcing. Entergy Corporation is more of a Co-
     source partnership. Outsourcing does not have the same level of dedication and
     ownership to the owner. Better vested interest in Co-sourcing.
    Steve Day – PacifiCorp, When Outsourcing employees, recommends distinct
     transition to a Service Provider versus potential of maintaining an attitude of a
     past disgruntled employee.

       Janitorial across the company, services will remain the same and initial benefits.

Q. Jean Sayles, OPPD -- Does your incident bases for Disaster Recovery use Malls and
do you have problems with traffic for the Operations Trucks –
     Alan Urda, TECO uses Malls, Dog Tracks and old Sports Arena. Has had success
       in using the malls. Fairgrounds, too, although bad for not having paved parking.
       For instance, at the Sports Arena “Orange Dome” spent approx $38,000 in repairs
       of grounds.
     Curtis Slife, FM Solutions – Churches are also used
     Frank Baca, DUKE – Kmarts, Walmarts vacant stores and easy access

     Frank Baca, Duke Entergy – Lessons learned are vague interpretations have
        resulted in a lot of Change Orders.
     Curtis Slife, FM Solutions – may have some direction to offer from past SRP and
        from current practice as a Service Provider. USAA (Insurance Company) best
        contract that he has seen.
     Barb Luna, FBG Services Corp – Recommends developing an RFI first with basic
        requirements to pre-screen. Also has an RFP template if interested.

Q. Julie Hallet, Wisconsin Public Service -- How do people store/inventory their
furniture; in-house, furniture vendor, etc?
     Alan Urda, TECO -- their vendor stores everything. They do not purchase
        anything in advance. Everyone waits and deals with the lead time. Vendor wasn’t
        bar coding and tracking originally, but they worked through it. Took 5 years to
        refine it. They bar code using SnapTracker. Costs $2500/month for storage. Uses
        TECO Foundation to dispose of furniture.
     Curtis Slife – FM Solutions; Bid furniture, bid warehouse, bid sale back; 10%
        reduction/year on warehouse size. If they don’t do that, there is a reduction in
        warehouse fee. Can reserve a product, can take it off of reserve if project gets
        cancelled. Took 5 months to get it up to speed. Why do you keep inventory in
        stock, it’s most likely to handle emergencies. Normal lead times would cost 60%
        off list; emergency stock cost 30% off list. They found that the clients were
        willing to wait. The emergency stock was never used.
     Ken Scott, Westar Energy – Keeps 20 ergo chairs in stock; have a design firm that
        works every Thursday to complete miscellaneous jobs. Used to track and
        inventory but it’s expensive to store and inventory furniture. It’s cheaper to sell it,

       donate it, trash it and buy new. Contacted United Way and they picked up all of
       their surplus furniture.
      Frank Baca, DUKE Energy Corporation – Looked into putting all of their
       furniture into inventory. It would have cost $100,000 to inventory all the
       furniture. It wasn’t approved. In 3 years, they probably spent $300,000 to re-count
       inventory.
      Vesna Nickolich, Nevada Power Company – Sells furniture on internet; covers
       the legal aspect by stating that Nevada Power has no liability associated with

       facility. They have exclusive rights in the TECO facility. Wedding receptions on
       weekends, revenue on food catering goes to food vendor. Has liquor license.
       Nominal fee for room use. TECO just wants to cover their costs. He would like to
       look at making a profit.
     Rick Book, Mid American Energy Company – Used to have own staff, now
       outsourcing it to a local grocery chain. Vendor gets base source, utility gets a
       percentage of profit. Market was too small. Now opened to the public.
     Vesna Nikolich, Nevada Power Company -- Tried to outsource; 3 companies
       didn’t work. Now has in-house and subsidizes to be successful.
     Curtis Slife, FM Solutions – One of his clients uses various food vendors to come
       in on a different day; Boston Market, KFC, etc.
     Frank Baca, Duke Energy Corporation– Using Eurest, does not subsidize, up to

       keeps employees on site; managers are happy.

     Jim Armistead, Ameren – Uses Eurest; incentive was to increase participation by
       5% and vendor would get a bonus. Contract includes incentive, regular survey of
       participants, and price increase could not exceed CPI.

handicapped?

       facilities.

Q. Terry Shields, Alliant Energy – What are the total costs of operations, global and
individual building measures?
     Rick Carrithers, DTE Energy – Total cost of operating per building – operating
       budget report.
     Curtis Slife, FM Solutions – Use UC’s benchmarking numbers as the measures to
       meet.

       maintain the facility.
     Steve Day, PacifiCorp – Uses Accounts Payable to police the invoices and will
       not pay a building project without the approval of the facilities management

      allow it.
    Alan Urda, TECO – employees park the company vehicles in the substation
      property near their home and keep their personal vehicles there during the day.

Q. Do you find it to be a trend to do a sale and lease back, have a contractor build to suit
and lease it back to the utility?
    Entergy – Helps if there is a problem with capital dollars; allows flexibility
       depending upon changes in the market.

Q. Ken Scott – How do companies outsource their help desk; how is website working?
    Frank Baca, Duke Energy Corporation – 24/7 Call Center is outsourced. Clarify is
      software program used which populates all of the data at time of request. Goes
      directly to the person that will be doing the work. The outsourced contract is
      based on amount of sq/ft managed. 40% of the technicians work had not been
      going into the system prior to this. The workforce carries business cards to hand
      out to those folks who stop the technicians in the hall. Educated heavy users on
      putting shortcut on their desktop.
    Steve Day, PacifiCorp – Calls IT help desk; automatically gets forwarded to the
      FM help desk. The caller doesn’t even realize that it’s going to an outsourced
      provider.

      brochure to educate customers.
