Special Meeting tonight on Power Provider

Comment Up
UPDATE from tonight's meeting
Since we gave FMPA notice to exit, fifteen competitive bids were received from eight qualified bidders  to the initial RFP and have successfully completed the screening process and submitted signed Participation Agreements by which they must comply. The companies as of April 2012 were:

1. Constellation Energy
2. Florida Power and Light
3. Orlando Utilities Commission
4. Gainesville Regional Utility
 Seminole
 TECO
5. Wartsila and Burns and McDonnell (Being treated as one provider as Wartsila does generation and Burns does the Engineering)
6. UR Solar
 GE Energy
7. Covanta
8.  Tampa Electric

In looking at the evaluation matrix developed by the City, there are only lines for 9 companies. The City's Selection Committee will be evaluating all the proposals and ranking them as to preference.  They will not know the names of the companies, only their answers.

I wonder if we will need "Peggy's Papers" tonight for the spreadsheet?

Note: As it turned out, the meeting was only for discussion. No ratings of providers were done.

What the heck are Peggy's Papers that you cited?

Sorry--I threw you a curve on that one. You would have had to have been at the meeting. The last time the commission had to use a matrix, the city devised one that was not as efficient as resident Peggy Fisher's. They ended up using Peggy's.
