Overview
Overview
Staff is seeking approval to formally reject the proposals received for the request for proposals (RFP) "Electricity Aggregation Procurement" that was issued on July 11, 2022 for which proposals were due by July 22, 2022. Two proposals were received by the proposal deadline. Only one proposal was in conformance with the submittal requirements stipulated in the RFP. Neither proposal was responsive to a request for a larger percentage of renewable energy than is provided through the Village's current contract. The current contract expires on December 31, 2022. Staff seeks to re-issue the RFP to seek a more competitive offering for the Village. Staff plans to present a bid recommendation to the Board in early September 2022.
