Title
A Resolution accepting the bid of Constellation Energy Gas Choice, LLC, and establishing a price contract for the supply of natural gas under the SVGTS Tariff (Columbia Gas of Ky., Inc.) at multiple Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government facilities, contingent upon a fixed price not to exceed $5.25 per MCF for a period of up to three years, and authorizing the Mayor, on behalf of the Urban County Government, to execute an Agreement with Constellation Energy Gas Choice, LLC, related to the bid. [Council Office, Maynard]
Summary
Request Council authorization to enter into a Contract with Constellation to supply natural gas for a three (3) year period. Under the SVGTS tariff, LFUCG can aggregate its natural gas consumption in order to solicit fixed-price bids from eligible CHOICE marketers. Since 2011, this process has resulted in comparable out-of-pocket expenses than if LFUCG were to purchase natural gas on an account-by-account basis using a quarterly, variable rate. In addition, the fixed-price method provides more accuracy to LFUCG in estimating and Budgeting for natural gas utility costs. The price is not to exceed $5.25 per Mcf (thousand cubic feet) through June 2020.
