Lake Worth Utility - What is the most important consideration?

In rating the most important factors and prioritizing detailed power supply objectives for the RFP process, the Commissions' ratings for the top four most important are as follows, giving them a ranking of 20% each out of the seven items they must address:

Reliability
Competitive Rate Levels
Load estimation
Use of Renewable energy in mix

As Mr. Timm, said, we want the most reliable energy at the cheapest price.

Another person, an expert in the industry as well as on our Utility wrote: Do they not understand that reliability is far and away the most important factor within the utility? Reliability translates into lower costs of construction and overtime, which permits conservation and a host of other factors. Increasing reliability can translate into $$$$$$$ the city can spend in other areas.
