Allen Hall: Leading off the week, Norway has launched the first part of its long awaited, inaugural floating wind tender, offering subsidies to the winners. Bidders will be awarded rights to develop commercial projects of up to 500 megawatts in capacity at the Utsira Nord site off the country's southwest coast. The winners will have two years to mature the projects before competing in an auction for subsidies in 2028 to 2029 to be provided as a direct grant. Norway's Energy Minister said Utsira Nord is an important first step in the development of commercial floating offshore wind development on the Norwegian continental shelf. Norway has agreed to cap subsidies for Utsira Nord at 35 billion Norwegian crowns equal to about [00:01:00] $3.7 billion. Over in Denmark, Denmark has announced the launch of offshore wind tenders with a capacity of three gigawatts, enough to power approximately 3 million homes. According to the Danish Energy Ministry, the tenders set to open in autumn of this year, we'll cover two areas in the North Sea. One in the water separating Denmark and Sweden. The initiative comes with the potential subsidy of up to 55.2 billion Danish crowns equal to about $8.32 billion over a span of 20 years. Last year, Denmark halted its ongoing offshore wind tenders to reevaluate its subsidy model after failing to attract any bids and what was supposed to be its largest offshore wind auction. The Danish Energy Ministry clarified that bid prices and electricity price developments will dictate whether further subsidies are necessary or if the state might even generate revenue from the projects. And in the Netherlands, the Dutch government has [00:02:00] delayed tendering for two offshore wind sites. Uh, companies were scheduled to compete for three permits in October this year for construction and operation of new wind farms in the North Sea. However, two of the sites will now be tendered later, just one site. Nederwiek 1-A has been designated for the next offshore wind tunnel with the capacity of about one gigawatt. For the Nederwiek 1 Wind Farm, the tender criteria have been adjusted to improve the business case for offshore wind. The Ministry of Climate and Green Growth said it is taking these measures to make the upcoming tender round more attractive and to allow the construction of offshore wind farms to proceed at a realistic pace. The Nederwiek 1-A wind farm will supply about three and a 5% of Dutch electricity consumption once completed. And in South Korea, south Korea's, Jeonnam 1 Wind Farm has officially entered commercial operation. The 96 megawatt project is owned by a joint venture between Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners and SK Innovations [00:03:00] ENS, the installation of 10 Siemens ga MEA 10 megawatt Direct Drive turbines was completed in December of last year. Commissioning followed earlier this year. Copenhagen Offshore Partners, the exclusive offshore wind development partner to CIP Co-LED project development activities for Jeonnam 1 on behalf of the project owners. This project Mercks the first large scale offshore wind project in Korea led by the private sector. That's this week's top. News stories. Stay tuned for the Uptime Wind Energy Podcast tomorrow.

(Note: this week's SGV Connect podcast is being broken into two parts. Part 2, which is a series of interview about The People's Cafe in El Monte, will be broadcast tomorrow.) Last week, news broke that bids for the next extension of the Foothill Gold Line - from Pomona to Montclair - would be delayed because the only bid to design and build the project was hundreds of millions of dollars higher than anticipated. Earlier today, Damien Newton sat down with Gold Line Foothill Construction Authority CEO Habib Balian to discuss the causes of the delay and how it impacts the timeline of providing rail service to Montclair. Meanwhile, major construction on the extension from Glendora to Pomona wrapped up earlier this year. Bialin anticipates that Metro will announce next month the exact date that extension of the Gold Line will open to the public - probably sometime later this summer. During the podcast, Bialin uses the terms “design build” and “construction manager at risk“ to discuss the different processes that agencies and contractors can use when making agreements on how a project will proceed and who carries which liabilities. For those interested, the links on the terms above explain what those processes are. A transcript of this podcast is available after the embed of the broadcast.   Streetsblog's San Gabriel Valley coverage is supported by Foothill Transit, offering car-free travel throughout the San Gabriel Valley with connections to the A Line Stations across the Foothills and Commuter Express lines traveling into the heart of downtown L.A.

Transcript: This transcript is lightly edited for clarity. Damien NewtonSince the last time we've checked in, there's been a lot of good news, and then last week we had a little bit of concerning news. So let's get the "bad stuff" out of the way, and then we can talk about where we are with the project going forward. Last week, we heard that the next phase of the extension -not the one where the construction is completed, but the next phase - is going to be delayed at least a little bit because bids did not come in as low as hoped. Can you explain what happened there and what the next steps are for the Construction Authority? Habib Balian Over the last three years, in preparation to go out to bid for the next phase of the project from Pomona to Montclair, we did our own independent cost estimate. We brought in outside estimators - people that are very well known in the industry - to look at the project, look at our design, look at the specifications, and help us foresee what a potential bidder might bid on the job. We went about this process, as any owner would, whether you're building a billion dollar light rail or remodeling the bathroom of putting some feelers out there what you think the job is going to cost. We went after it three times over the last three years. We even had Metro look over our shoulder and look at our estimates to come up with a validation of that number. And we rounded out with these estimators and Metro of a range of bids of what we thought the project was going to cost. We then started this procurement. We got some feedback during the procurement that our process to build the project using "design build" was not favorably received by the industry anymore. They don't want to take on that risk. We, as the owners, want to shove that risk off on the contractors. And that's worked very well for us over the last 20 years and the three phases of the project using design-build. But that model was getting some resistance in the building community. We also understood that a lot of potential bidders for the job would not be interested in competing with Kiewit (who had been the incumbent contractor for three consecutive projects that we built on the job from Union Station to Pasadena, Pasadena to Azusa/Glendora, and then the Azusa/Glendora border all the way to Pomona). Bidders were saying, 'Kiewit, seems to know the job so well, we may not be interested in bidding a job and competing with them, since they know it so well and probably could outbid us or underbid us.' So we were very nervous about this. Going into it, we took what we thought were very conservative precautions. We did a lot of outreach to the contracting community. We hosted these forums available for people to ask questions. And we also incentivized potential bidders with $9 million worth of recuperance of the potential bid that any work that they put into it - the design that went into this, the cost of them bidding the job, they would, as a course of a participant, be able to receive a four, three and $2 million payment for the work that they perform. Any design that they had done in furtherance of a bid that they would be able to give that to us, we would buy it from them, essentially based on their submitting a good bid that was responsive to the procurement. So even with all those incentives, Bid Day rolled around and, going into it, we knew we were only gonna have one participant. Which made us very nervous that there would be no other bids coming in. We knew that through the RFP process, and basically held our breath for a couple months until the bid came in. The bid came in, it was substantially higher than we expected, I believe, 54% higher than what our estimators and Metro thought the project would cost. We talked to them, went through a best and final offer and were not able to reach... achieve any substantial reduction in it. Then I took it to the board with the recommendation that we cancel that procurement and instead go out and re-procure through a different contracting method - CMAR (construction manager at risk, as it's known in the industry) - and proceed ahead with the project. It will be a bit of a delay, but it is a plan to get the project built, which is our mandate: to Montclair. We are starting in earnest with that procurement. It'll likely be on the street in June, and we'll be able to hire that designer and then bring on a construction management firm as well, and begin that process. And in furtherance of completing the project, with probably about a year delay we're expecting. Damien So with the year delay, could you outline what the rough timeline looks like now, to get that phase? Habib So we'll go through a procurement process beginning in June, probably June to September or October. We're nailing down the schedule right now, we will go and we'll seek a designer. That designer will engage them. That designer will complete the design, take it from our 20-30% complete and to a complete design. About midpoint of that we will start a procurement for construction manager. That construction manager will look over the shoulder and work with the designer to prepare a bid and confirm that they can build the project for our budget. So that will take about two years from now, and then that'll be a 'thumbs up or thumbs down' with that design, with that builder. If it's within our budget, we'll award the contract to them. And then from that point, it's about a four-year construction project. So roughly, 2030-31. Just as a footnote, should that builder that we bring on - the construction manager - say, 'we need more money,' or 'it's an inadequate budget,' we then have the ability of going out and soliciting a new builder for that project and hiring them and going out for construction based on a new bid. DamienSo it sounds like a lot's going on, but the plan is still to move forward and to keep going. HabibAbsolutely. The mandate of the legislature...back in 2000 they determined that the project would go from Union Station to Montclair. Just so, you know, originally [it] was supposed to only go to Claremont, and then it was later amended by the legislature to take it from Claremont to Montclair. That is our mandate. It's very important for this project to work at its maximum. And that requires it get to these hubs. And the nearest hub for this project is, in fact, getting to Montclair - to the Montclair Transit Center, the bus center. It's very important for ridership and for moving people from the Inland Empire into LA County along the Gold Line route from Montclair. DamienAlright, so that covers last week's news. But since the last time we've talked, there was some good news involving construction of the current extension, so to speak. So why don't we talk a little bit about where we are in that process, which I believe is mostly done. HabibThat's correct: mostly done. We achieved substantial completion by the contractor in early January, satisfied with their work. It was turned over to Metro for them to begin their preparations for operation. They'll start, doing their own testing and training of operators for over the next several months, with the anticipation that they will put it into service some time this summer. Metro - once they get underway with their testing fully - they'll be able to determine, probably in the May period, when they're going to announce a operations date with exactly when they're going to operate it some time this summer. DamienI said "mostly" I know your part is mostly done. It's "Metro's part" now that is still worked on. I just wanted to make it clear that when we said completed, it doesn't mean it's opening tomorrow. It's opening in probably July or August, if things go well. Habib That's correct. And just footnote to that is keyword is "still on the job." There's a long list of punch-list items that they're completing, some landscaping, some wall improvements, fare gates, something that's been a design change. Metro has come up with different fare gates system that is being retrofitted in. Our design originally didn't have them. Now it does, and they're being built as we speak, and installed. So,some of those last minute details are being done. So if any of your listeners actually go along the line and take a peek at what's going on, you're still going to see construction workers out there. There's still activity, nothing to the degree, obviously, of when construction was at full tilt. But right now, there is work going on, some cleanup activities, and handrails and fencing and gating is still going on, DamienI think we covered the two big topics on the checklist. Was there anything else you wanted to say before we before we sign off until July? Habib We're very excited about July. This is going to be very big for the San Gabriel Valley to connect further into the San Gabriel Valley, into Los Angeles, and ultimately to Long Beach. It's going to be very exciting for passengers, I think, and people are really going to enjoy this ride. It's a great system, and the stations look great. The artwork looks great. So we have a lot to show off this summer. DamienWell, we look forward to talking then and when the first phase of the extension open. I got this cool pin set, so I still have my fingers crossed to get another pin… Well, thank you very much. And we will. We'll talk again soon. Habib Okay, take care. Damien, thank you. Bye.

Episode 183 Details AUCTION SALE GUIDE TO BID & WIN   10 Tips For Auction Sale Bidders   At an auction sale, you can expect a dynamic, thrilling environment where items are sold to the highest bidder. Here's what to know before you go! Catalog: Before the auction begins, you'll typically receive or have access to a catalog listing the items up for sale. This allows you to preview the items and decide which ones you're interested in bidding on. Registration: You'll need to register to participate in the auction. This usually involves providing identification and obtaining a bidder number or paddle. Preview Period: There's usually a preview period before the auction starts, during which you can inspect the items up for sale. This is your chance to closely examine the items and assess their condition. Auctioneer: The auctioneer is the person who conducts the auction. They'll start by introducing each item, provide a description, and begin the bidding process. Bidding: Bidding starts with an opening bid set by the auctioneer. Bidders then raise their paddles or signal their bids in response. The auctioneer will continue to raise the price until there are no more bids. Reserve Price: Some items may have a reserve price, which is the minimum price the seller is willing to accept. If the bidding doesn't reach the reserve price, the item may not be sold. Winning Bidders: The highest bidder wins the item and is typically required to pay immediately or provide a deposit. Payment methods vary but often include cash, credit/debit cards, or certified checks. Buyer's Premium: There may be a buyer's premium, an additional fee added to the final bid price. This goes to the auction house to cover administrative costs. Most online auctions, for example firearm or gun auctions, have these premiums applied. Removal of Items: After winning an item, you'll need to arrange for its removal. Some auction houses provide assistance with this, while others expect the buyer to handle it themselves. Terms and Conditions: It's important to familiarize yourself with the auction house's terms and conditions before participating. These outline important details such as payment methods, buyer responsibilities, and any additional fees. Understand exactly what you are bidding on first. If it is an online firearm or gun auction, know how you will ship and talk with your local FFL dealer first. Now get into the action and have fun!   CALCUTTA GAMBLING; ADD EXCITEMENT TO EVENTS   What is a "Calcutta" at a Rodeo or Fishing Tournament?   In a rodeo or fishing tournament, a Calcutta is a form of betting where participants bid on the competitors or teams they think will perform the best. The bids are placed in a pool, and after the competition, the pool is divided among the winning bidders, with a portion typically going to the organizers or a designated charity. It adds an extra layer of excitement and competition to the event, as participants have a vested interest in the outcome beyond just the competition itself.   Jump in the action at the next event you attend!   WESTERN LIFESTYLE & THE OUTDOORS Jeff 'Tigger' Erhardt & Rebecca 'BEC' Wanner are News Broadcasters that represent the Working Ranch world, Rodeo, and the Western Way of Life as well as advocate for the Outdoors and Wildlife Conservation.

It's 2023 and time to upgrade your donors' bidding experience! In the past, event coordinators used paper bid sheets for each item. But as mobile bidding apps continue to improve their efficiency and effectiveness, the team at Handbid discuss a variety of reasons paper actually decreases revenue at auction events. While mobile bidding allows for real-time updates on items, establishes fairness and anonymity, and provides scalable data from each event, some people still need convincing that paper bid sheets are a thing of the past. Physical bid sheets limit the window of time attendees have to bid on items since they have to be present in order to participate. Once someone bids on an item, they must continue checking the sheet to ensure their bid is still the highest. Including remote bidders opens up opportunities for greater participation, which leads to an increase in donations. Using bid sheets also allows room for error, whether it's because of cheating, bidder intimidation, poor handwriting or miscommunication. One of the most important aspects of the event is making sure bidders enjoy their experience. Using paper bid sheets can create conflict and confusion that ultimately impact charitable organizations in negative ways. Making the switch to a mobile bidding system frees hosts and guests to enjoy socializing while staying connected to the auction. Overall, more money is raised for the organization, attendees enjoy themselves, and human error is eliminated when it comes time to close the auction. Main Topics What is a paper bid sheet? (05:05) Paper creates higher bid increments (09:00) Limited windows for bidding (13:40) Inviting remote bidders to your auction (17:45) Cheating and stealing at auctions (21:30) Bid intimidation impacts charities' revenue (28:00) Poor handwriting creates confusion (29:35) Bidders can change the bid increment (30:40) Paper bid sheets negatively affect donor experience (31:30) Performance data is inaccessible (36:00) Keeping the auction personal (38:30) Mobile bidding increases revenue (42:15)    Episode LinksIf you enjoyed this episode please subscribe and leave us a review in the Apple podcasts app.Listen, rate, and subscribe!Apple PodcastsSpotifyGoogle Podcasts

It appears that another weekly AEW TV show is coming sooner than later, according to a new report from F4Wonline. The news was first revealed on the Saturday edition of the "Mat Men" podcast by Andrew Zarian. This is a huge mistake for AEW, and Tony Khan as they have not even begun the process of fixing what they already on have across TNT, and TBS. Also, WWE is meeting with potential buyers for the first time in April for a possible sale of the company but we already know its not about the sale of the company for Vince McMahon. Becky Lynch has major plans going into the Summer months with a shocking heel turn, and opponent lined up for her. AEW is in the process of sitting down with The Elite ( Matt, Nick Jackson, and Kenny Omega) to sign them to new long term contracts. GCW is the latest hurdle for AEW and their "Fight Forever" video game as GCW is filing a trademark on "Fight Forever", and Rey Mysterio picks the man who will induct him into the WWE Hall Of Fame.
