Contractor Selection and Construction
The contractor selection is the water company’s and not the developer’s
The lowest responsive bidder will construct the project
This bidder may or may not be the developer’s “requested contractor”
New Jersey American Water will:
manage the contractor during the construction process
inspect, pressure test and chlorinate the mains
complete the needed as-builts

5.0 Close-Out
120 days after the final costs are available
Final Project Costs and Reconciliation
Reimbursements / Balance Due
26
6.0 Revenue Refunds
Refunds made for each new bona fide customer taking service directly from the main extension
Refunds obligation will expire 10 years after the effective date of the Main Extension Agreement
Maximum refund is the total cost of the project
New Jersey American Water will make a one time refund payment for each new bona fide customer
Refund payment for residential customers with a 1” service will be the Estimated Annual Revenues times the Refund Multiplier
Example Area 1: Estimated Annual Revenue - Based upon most recent rate case. $591.00 x 10 = $5,910.00 refund per 1” connection
27
6.0 Revenue Refunds (Cont.) Non-Residential Estimated Annual Revenues (Includes
services greater that 1” in diameter)- Based upon actual annual water revenue for months 13 through 24
Months 13 through 24 is used for various reasons
Estimated annual revenue for water services greater than 1” are not provided in the Tariff
Typically, multi-tenant buildings are not fully occupied within the first year of service
Commercial facilities tend to be less consistent in usage patterns
Often, site construction is continuing for a number of months after service has been installed
28
6.0 Revenue Refunds (Cont.)
Note:
Main Extension Agreements are currently being offered with the understanding that the current court ruling associated with Superior Court of NJ Appellate Division-Docket # A-2207-07T3 may have an impact on (1) whether or not refunds can be offered by New Jersey American Water in the future and (2) the actual calculation for determining such refunds. While we await final guidance from the BPU regarding refunds, New Jersey American Water will calculate refunds under the current guidelines and treat all projects under agreement as “smart growth” or refund eligible.
