1989, ER No. 5736 was reestimated to $181,990,000. In early
1991, FPL increased the ER to $196,666,000. This revision was
increased “to incorporate [the] JEA owners and FPL owners costs
from ER’s 5737 and 4290 respectively, and also costs accumulated
to this ER prior to opening ER 4110 (SJRPP Unit 1 Construction
Wrap-Up).”
ER No. 4110, which authorized the expenditure of $22.6

specifically cover the project costs (excluding the JEA and FPL
owner’s costs) beyond June 30, 1988.”72 In late 1988/early 1989
the amount authorized under ER No. 4110 was decreased to
$8,736,000. This ER was again revised in 1989 to decrease the
amount authorized to $8,016,400. A few months later, at the end
of 1989, the ER was revised and the amount authorized was
decreased to $7,354,900. Finally, in 1991, FPL revised the ER to

ER No. 4110 was within the original design of the SJRPP. He
explained that “The wrap up was predominantly the construction
and close out of those large dollar contracts and the associated
expense with those.”
