Explanation

BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes modifications of Contract Numbers CT-07199 and CT-09743 with American Municipal Power-Ohio, Inc. (AMP-Ohio) for the purchase of wholesale electricity and associated services required in 2004.

Amount of additional funds to be expended: $8,627,000.00

Contract Number CT-07199 is in effect until 2005 and CT-09743 (Gorsuch) is in effect until 2008.

How cost of modification was determined: The modification is based upon estimated requirements for 2004 at rates as established in the existing contracts.

Contract Compliance Number: 310943223

Emergency action is requested in order that purchases may continue without interruption and payments can be made on a timely basis.

FISCAL IMPACT: The 2004 Division of Electricity budget authority for purchase power is $37,327,414 and an additional $452,504 was budgeted for Amp-Ohio Service fees. The total purchased power expenditures for 2002 and 2003 were $34,434,355 and $31,628,816 , respectively.
