            1986, $23,964,311 was expended on the SJRPP.  This amount paid in                           
            January 1986, covered contract work performed during November and                           
            December of 1985.70  According to the actual cost report, as of                             
            January 31, 1986, FPL’s obligation was $145,477,686.                                        
                  A 1986 BI No. 148 Rev. 4 budgeted $239,087,000 “To                                    
            participate with * * * [the JEA] in the joint construction of the                           
            first of two coal-fired steam generating units.”  The BI                                    
            explained that this amount was predicated upon FPL’s owning 20                              
            percent of the unit’s capital cost.  This BI stated that work                               
            started in 1979 and would be completed in April 1987.  FPL                                  
            approved this BI in late 1985 with only the construction of phase                           
            III yet to be completed.  BI No. 148 Rev. 5, approved on October                            
            13, 1986, decreased the amount budgeted to $231 million.                                    
            According to the revision, the estimated completion date of                                 
            construction was April 15, 1987.  Approved on August 20, 1987, BI                           


                  69 Mr. Reid testified that the unpaid liability was for                               
            purchase orders that were amounts outside or above and beyond                               
            contractor expenditures.                                                                    
                  70 Mr. Reid testified that FPL and the JEA were liable to                             
            the contractors in January 1986 for work performed in November                              
            and December of 1985.  This amount, however, did not include the                            
            amounts retained from contractors.
