NOTICE
Notice is hereby given, pursuant to Article IV, Section 21(D)(1) of the Louisiana Constitution, that on April 13, 2011, Entergy Louisiana, LLC (“ELL” of the “Company”) an electric public utility providing retail electric service to customers in forty-three (43) Parishes of the State of Louisiana, filed with the Louisiana Public Service Commission (“LPSC”), pursuant to Article IV, Section 21(D)(3) of the Louisiana Constitution and Title 45, Section 1163.1 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes, a Supplemental and Amending Application for Approval to Securitize Investment Recovery Costs Related to the Little Gypsy Unit 3 Repower Project authorizing the Company to finance its investment recovery costs pursuant to Act 988. This filing relates to existing LPSC Docket No. U-30192 and was docketed by the LPSC in new LPSC Docket No. U-31894.
In conjunction with Act 988 of the Louisiana Legislature’s Regular Session of 2010, the parties have reached agreement on a Proposed Uncontested Stipulated Settlement in LPSC Docket No. U-30192 (Phase III) that, assuming Commission approval, will resolve all issues among the parties in Phase III, including: (1) the cancellation of the Little Gypsy 3 repowering project; (2) the establishment of a quantification of the prudently incurred and recoverable cancellation costs; (3) the level(s) at which carrying costs may be accrued on a going forward basis; (4) the appropriate allocation of the recoverable cancellation costs among the Companies’ customer classes and customers; and (5) subject to the issuance of an appropriate financing order, the framework for the securitization of the recovery costs.
The proposed Financing Order submitted with the April 13 filing in LPSC Docket No. U-31984 addresses the request of ELL, under Act No. 988 to: (1) finance, through the issuance of investment recovery bonds, ELL’s investment recovery costs in the amount of $200,000,000.00, as determined in LPSC Docket No. U-30192 (Phase III), plus carrying costs on such investment recovery costs and up-front financing costs associated with the issuance of investment recovery bonds; (2) approve the proposed financing structure and issuance of investment recovery bonds; (3) approve the creation of investment recovery property, including the right to impose and collect investment recovery charges sufficient to pay the investment recovery bonds and associated financing costs; (4) approve a tariff to implement the investment recovery charges; and (5) approve another tariff to implement ancillary cost offsets and cost recovery relating to the investment recovery costs process.
Because the actual revenue requirement will not be known until after the pricing of the investment recovery bonds, it is only possible to estimate typical bills at this time. The estimated monthly bill of a typical residential customer using 1,000 kWh will increase by $0.45 per month, representing a 0.48% increase.
A copy of the filing in the above mentioned dockets may be viewed in the Office of the Louisiana Public Service Commission in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

All training is currently performed by fire personnel and then entered into a computer database within Sungard HTE. It is our goal to incorporate Computer-Based Training into our training methods and incorporate the generation of reports from the data entered from this software for periodic review and record keeping.
The West Monroe Fire Department currently has 33 Line personnel who perform company training on a daily basis and the company officer manually enters training data into a database. Fire Prevention has 3 personnel who must maintain training from time to time also. It is our need to have a library of computer based software capable of training our Line personnel on a daily basis. This software must be capable of being stored on-site in typical CD-ROM format or similar storage media and installed on the city servers for day to day access and use. It is to be server-based and not internet-based software.
This software, once installed on the city servers, must be password accessible by the Training Officer, Company Officers and crews, as well as other Fire Personnel who necessarily are allowed access to this training, with permission from the Fire Chief or the Training Officer. It must be capable of integration into and with Sungard HTE or Firehouse software systems and with no ill-effect on its operation. Content of this computer based training must also include, but is not limited to:
Fire Fighter I & II Training;
Driver/Operator Training;
Fire Officer Training;
Haz-Mat Training-(Response, Decontamination, Containment, Awareness Level);
Rescue Training:
Power Point presentations to match content;
Test and Question Files;
Training Simulators, etc.
The requirements for this computer based training are that it must be flexible and allow for instructor-led training, student self-study on CBT, and video type training/presentations for instructors.
The City of West Monroe reserves the right at its sole discretion to reject any and all RFP’s received without penalty and not to enter a contract as a result of this RFP. The City of West Monroe also reserves the right to negotiate separately with any source whatsoever in any manner necessary to attend to the best interests of The City of West Monroe, to waive irregularities in any RFP, and to accept the RFP which best meets the needs of The City of West Monroe, irrespective of the price quoted.
RFP’s will be accepted from April 5, 2011 until May 10, 2011 by 4:00 PM via contact information listed below. No telephone RFP’s will be accepted, only written or electronic (printed) RFP’s will be accepted.
