09:58 AM --------------------------- Teddy Ward 03/08/2000 07:17 AM To: Benjamin Rogers/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Subject: Enron North America/Rochester Generator Project Ben: Because of the short time frame I am just forwarding the questions from our broker (representing the surety) concerning your request for bid bond. Very valid questions and also will impact your performance bond should you win and need one. Please try and get back to me asap as this is a very short time frame for the bond. Thanks. ---------------------- Forwarded by Teddy Ward/HOU/ECT on 03/08/2000 07:11 AM --------------------------- "Phil Bair" <pbair@jwortham.com< on 03/08/2000 06:52:45 AM To: Teddy Ward/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Subject: Enron North America/Rochester Generator Project Teddy-We are preparing the bid bond based on the request received yesterday evening. The bid specifications indicate liquidated damages in the amount of $2,375,000 PER DAY. I assume Enron will not accept damages at this level. Please check to determine if the bid will be qualified in this area-and what alternative damages may be offered. Due to the unusual size of the penalty relative to the contract value, this could have an impact on reinsurance. The contract indicates a normal one year warrenty from the contractor. The charge for this warrenty is included in our standard performance bond rate. I have bonded a number of generator contracts similar to this, and frequently there is an option for the contractor to offer an extended warrenty up to 5 years. Since this would impact the premium charged, you may want to check to see if this option exist so we can get the pricing correct in your estimate. Thanks. 3/8/00 Philip N.
