Changes and Themes for 2016 Finding balance between contract analyst and contract RFP – Identified areas most easily be met by contract RFP if needed Fewer measures anticipated for 2016 – Fewer measures sunset in 2016 – Reduced the placeholders for new measures based on stakeholder feedback and 2015 experience – Broke out the QA/QC to better estimate this expected lift Continued emphasis on research and regional coordination Identifies specific work related to capacity benefits Revised categories to better reflect the workflow of the contract analyst team 3

Changes for Stakeholder Comments In response to BPA comments Shifted allocation across standard protocols to better reflect the anticipated lift for non-residential lighting work relative to other standard protocols Increased the placeholder for new standard protocol development from 3 to 4 – Bonneville identified a couple potential standard protocols for development – This aspect of RTF work deserves more attention as to the best way to support programs for these types of measures Clarified intention of many of the new categories 4
