A request for proposals (RFP) was published in the Northwest Herald on April 30, 2013 for
consultant services assisting the consortium through this process, and on May 27, 2013 the
proposals will be opened. Each community will vote on the selection of a consultant and
pricing for electricity and natural gas before a contract is approved. The agreement term is
through January 30, 2020.
The attached agreement outlines the duties of the cooperative and appointment of one
representative from each community who will act as the government’s voting representative.
Each member community is allowed one vote and a majority vote of the affected members is
required to enter into any power agreement. Approving the agreement authorizes staff to act
as a voting member and permits the consortium to accept a winning bidder and staff to sign an
energy supply contract.
If the City Council concurs it is recommended to approve the attached Ordinance authorizing
the execution of Northern Illinois Governmental Energy Cooperative (“NIGEC”) 2013
Intergovernmental Agreement for the Purchase of Electricity and other Goods and Services
