Background

The Village of Oak Park’s Community Choice Electricity Aggregation (CCA) program allows the Village to secure electricity supply on behalf of residential and small commercial accounts. ICCAN has successfully advised the Village Board on municipal electricity aggregation and commercial procurement since 2015. In July of 2018, ICCAN coordinated a competitive bidding process and the Board chose an Alternative Supply contract that offered both enhanced economic and sustainability value. Based on a 13-month analysis from December 2018 to December 2019, consumer costs under the current CCA Program rates were $912,000 lower than they would have been under the lowest Fixed Rate offer.

                     

For 2020, ICCAN proposes a time and materials contract coupled with a not-to-exceed cost cap of $25,000.  The proposal fee would include all charges associated with performing:

 

§                     One (1) procurement event for the Village’s aggregation program (inclusive of all necessary planning, procurement activity, contract negotiations, and contract monitoring for the period of the agreements); and,

§                     One (1) procurement event for the Village’s commercial accounts (inclusive of all necessary planning, procurement activity, contract negotiations, and contract monitoring for the period of the agreements).

§                     Advisory services for community solar program development for residents and municipal facilities, planning and reporting for use of CCA Funds, and organizing energy consumption and use data for use by Village staff.
