Vantage Energy Consulting, LLC Management Consulting and Energy Services 20844 4th Ave., West, Cudjoe Key, FL 33042 August 31, 2015 Mr. Hugo Hodge VIWAPA Executive Director P.O. Box 1450 Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas U.S. Virgin Islands 00804-1450 Mr. Donald G. Cole Executive Director, VIPSC PO Box 40 St Thomas, VI, 00804 Dear Gentlemen: I am in receipt of a letter dated August 11, 2105 that requests certain updates and information from Vantage Energy Consulting, LLC as well as a meeting in late September 2015. This letter fully responds to all questions raised. 1. The Final Audit Report was issued on February 10, 2015 and submitted to the Chairman of the VIWAPA BOD and the Chairman of the VIPSC by means of E-mail to the ASC members1. There are no anticipated changes to this report. I am attaching another copy. Also included in the April 10th Email was the Implementation Plan. 2. I was instructed very early in the project that all communication with the public, including release of the report was to be performed by the ASC or Company/Commission Management. Vantage has had no contact with the public and unless authorized to do so by the ASC will continue to comply with our contract limits. 3. An Implementation Plan was prepared by Vantage and completed by VIWAPA management and contains answers to questions regarding recommendations, implementation schedule and potential savings. 4. Vantage completed all contractual obligations related to the audit, implementation plan and presentation to the VIWAPA BOD on June 11th. 5. Walter Drabinski can be available for a workshop between September 17 and the end of the month, however, the cost will need to be paid by VIWAPA or the VIPSC since our commitment was to one post-report presentation. 6. Vantage knows of no barrier to the release of the Final Report. 7. We would note for the record that the staffing numbers used in the final report are from September 2014 and the current numbers have changed. Currently St. Croix currently has a total 247 including 6 temporary employees and St. Thomas has a total 350 including 6 temporary employees. Walter P. Drabinski, President 20844 4th Ave., West Cudjoe Key, FL 33042 305-394-0784 1 /E-mail of 2/10/2015 to Jim Madan, Julio Rymer, Akeyla Clarke, Joan Foy and Larry Gawlik
