Explanation
BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes a modification of DL012676 with American Electric Power Service Corporation (AEPSC) for the purchase of capacity and energy for the Division of Power and Water to recognize Quasar Energy Group, LLC as an additional Third Party Supply generation resource.
Amount of additional funds to be expended: $0
Reasons additional goods/services could not be foreseen: The Division of Power and Water entered into a contract for capacity and energy with American Electric Power Service Corporation (AEPSC) in 2006 based upon the lowest, responsive proposal offered. The original contract was established as authorized by Ordinance 0837-2006, passed May 22, 2006. Subsequent ordinances have been passed to provide funding for the purchase of capacity and energy.
Ordinance 1285-2010, passed September 20, 2010, authorized the Director of Public Utilities to enter into an Interconnection Agreement with Central Ohio Bioenergy, LLC, owned by Quasar Energy Group, a waste-to energy company. It is now necessary to amend the AEPSC contract to recognize Quasar Energy Group, LLC as an additional Third Party Supply generation resource, behind-the-meter, during the delivery period and to waive the requirement of the six-month prior written notice.
Reason other procurement processes are not used: The City of Columbus, Department of Public Utilities is obligated by contract to obtain capacity and energy services from American Electric Power Service Corporation (AEPSC).
How cost of modification was determined: There is no additional cost associated with this modification.
Emergency action is requested in order that the amendment may be executed and the project may be implemented as soon as possible.
Contract Compliance Number: 134922641, expires 05/09/2011.
FISCAL IMPACT: This modification will not have any fiscal impact on the existing budget.
