&KABKJN 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 I, Lance Maeda, declare:
- 1.
1 am employed by Pacific Gas and Electric Company ("PG&E"), the debtor and debtor-in-possession in this Chapter 11 case. I have been employed by PG&E since 1996 and hold the position of Director of Application Development & Support. In this position, I am responsible for technical oversight of information technology ("IT") software projects within PG&E's Information Systems and Technical Services Organization; I also have company-wide responsibilities in the IT area, including responsibility for creating and implementing plans, policies and procedures for PG&E's IT software activities and for supervising employees engaged in systems development and support functions. In connection with implementation of PG&E's proposed Plan of Reorganization (as amended from time to time, the "Plan"), my specific responsibilities include: identification of applications that will be needed by the New Entities, integrated testing of applications migrating from PG&E to the New Entities, and defining security strategies for applications to be used by the New Entities.
- 2.
This declaration is submitted in support of PG&E's Fourth Motion for Authority to Incur Miscellaneous Implementation Expenses (the "Motion"). Defined terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Motion. I make this declaration based on personal knowledge, except where otherwise indicated, and if called as a witness, could and would testify competently to the matters set forth herein.
- 3.
In connection with the implementation of the Plan, PG&E and ETrans will enter into an Electric Energy Determination and Billing Agreement ("EEDBA") to handle billing and settlements for electric transmission service to be provided by ETrans to PG&E.
PG&E has recently identified a need for specialized software to support the implementation of the EEDBA. This software will be purchased from, and installed and configured by, Itron, Inc., an industry leader in providing automated meter polling and data management software to utilities. This software will provide the functionality necessary for ETrans to provide meter data management (including data validation, version control management and data aggregation) to PG&E. These functions are needed to support the transmission billing DECLARATION OF LANCE MAEDA 1
and settlement processes required by PG&E and ETrans. PG&E believes that this project 2
must start promptly as the process of installing, configuring and testing the software is 3
expected to take approximately three months and must be completed in advance of the Plan 4
Effective Date in order for ETrans to commence business operations.
5
- 4.
PG&E estimates that the license, configuration and installation of this 6
software by Itron will cost approximately $360,000. $150,000 of the foregoing amount 7
constitutes a license fee that would be paid up front, while the remainder is based on 8
estimated consulting fees related to the installation and configuration of the software as well 9
as maintenance fees. With respect to the consulting fees and maintenance fees, PG&E will 10 maintain the right to terminate the work at any time without cause, in which case PG&E is 11 liable only for work performed to the date of termination plus costs reasonably incurred by 12 Itron in terminating any work in progress.
HowArD 13 I declare under penalty of perjury of the laws of the United States that the KICE NEME1CNKI ct,¥ADY 14 foregoing is true and correct, and that this declaration was executed at San Francisco, SABKAIN "15 California on February 7,2003.
