Explanation
BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify Contract Numbers CT09743 and EL008750 with American Municipal Power-Ohio, Inc. (AMP-Ohio) to provide funding for the purchase of wholesale electricity and associated services in 2009 for the Division of Power and Water.
Amount of additional funds to be expended: $5,977,570
Reasons additional goods/services could not be foreseen: The Division of Power and Water (Power) currently has contracts in place with AMP-Ohio for the purchase of wholesale electricity. This legislation authorizes increases in the amounts of the contracts to cover needs for 2009.
Reason other procurements processes are not used: AMP-Ohio is a non-profit organization for state municipalities and, acting as a broker, has contracted competitive prices on the City's behalf through a bidding process.
How cost of modification was determined: The modification is based upon estimated requirements for 2009 at rates as established in the existing contracts.
Contract Compliance Number: 310943223, expires 01/24/2010
Amp-Ohio does not hold MBE/FBE status.
Emergency action is requested in order that purchases may continue without interruption and payments can be made on a timely basis.
FISCAL IMPACT: This legislation is contingent upon passage of the 2009 budget. $62,113,000 is budgeted in the Electricity Fund 550 for purchase power and an additional $200,000 is budgeted for Amp-Ohio service fees. The total amounts spent for purchase power in 2007 and 2008 were $53,866,755 and $53,763,139, respectively.
