TRANSMITTAL LETTER FOR BOARD MEETING OF JUNE 15, 2023
COMMITTEE ON PROCUREMENT
Mr. Brian A. Perkovich, Executive Director
Title
Authorization to exercise an option to extend and amend agreement with Enerwise Global Technologies, LLC dba CPower for energy curtailment services under Contract 20-RFP-17 for years 2024-2027
Body
Dear Sir:
On January 7, 2021, the Board of Commissioners authorized the District to enter into an agreement with Direct Energy Business Marketing, LLC dba Centrica Business Solutions, LLC for energy curtailment services. The agreement was subsequently assigned to Centrica Business Solutions Optimize, LLC, then to Enerwise Global Technologies, LLC dba CPower. The agreement is scheduled to terminate on May 31, 2024, with an option to extend up to an additional three years under the existing terms.
Under the terms of the existing agreement, Enerwise Global Technologies, LLC dba CPower receives 4 percent of the curtailment value, and the District receives the remaining 96 percent. To date, the District has received $2.5 million from the energy curtailment program under the existing agreement.
The extension of the termination date is in compliance with the Illinois Criminal Code because it is germane to the original agreement as signed and is in the best interest of the District.
In view of the foregoing, it is requested that the Board of Commissioners authorize the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to exercise an option to extend and amend the agreement with Enerwise Global Technologies, LLC dba CPower for the period from June 1, 2024, through May 31, 2027.
Requested, John P. Murray, Director of Maintenance and Operations, PD:MFM:JL
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management
Respectfully Submitted, Marcelino Garcia, Chairman Committee on Procurement
Disposition of this agenda item will be documented in the official Regular Board Meeting Minutes of the Board of Commissioners for June 15, 2023
