Explanation
BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify Contract Number CT09743 and EL008750 with American Municipal Power, Inc. to provide funding for the purchase of wholesale electricity and associated services during 2011 for the Division of Power and Water.

Amount of additional funds to be expended: $5,908,185.00
Reasons additional goods/services could not be foreseen: The Division of Power and Water (Power) currently has contracts in place with American Municipal Power, Inc. for the purchase of wholesale electricity. This legislation authorizes increases in the amounts of the contracts to cover needs for 2011.
Reason other procurement processes are not used: American Municipal Power, Inc. 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: This modification is based upon estimated requirements for 2011 at rates as established in the existing contract.
Contract Compliance Number: 310943223, expires 12/15/2011
American Municipal Power, Inc. 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 ordinance is contingent upon the passage of the 2011 operating budget. The amount budgeted in the Electricity Operating Fund 550 for purchase power is $65,000,000.00. The total amounts spent for purchase power in 2009 and 2010 were $57,531,882.86 and $62,971,078.62, respectively.
