A cost comparison was performed: the rebuild estimate is $151,494.35; the purchase of a new unit would cost approximately $460,000.00. The estimate’s cost includes parts and labor to replace cylinders, bearings, hoses, and wiring in the boom, as well as other moving parts that need replaced due to normal wear and tear for a unit of its age.

AN ORDINANCE ACCEPTING PROPOSAL WITH EXELON GENERATION COMPANY, LLC FOR THE PURCHASE OF UP TO 75MW OF CAPACITY FOR 5 YEARS IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $4,961,373.59, FOR THE OFFICE OF PUBLIC UTILITIES
STAFF ANALYSIS: (This includes description of work, background on the issue, and justification of why the ordinance was not low bid. If you need additional space, please continue on the back of this form.) Previously the City Council approved Ordinance 127-04-2020 authorizing a Professional Services Agreement with The Energy Authority, Inc. ("TEA") for services required to manage the Request for Proposals ("RFP") process for Utility's future capacity and energy needs. TEA released a RFP for future capacity and energy needs and received two capacity only responses. With the retirement of Dallman units, the Utility's capacity needs will not meet MISO's levels. Each year MISO determines a capacity requirement for CWLP. This requirement is based on the Utility's average peak demand and additional capacity to account for unplanned outages or higher than anticipated demand. These required levels ensure that there are enough generation resources in the area to cover peak energy demand. This ordinance accepts the Proposal with Exelon Generation Company, LLC ("Exelon") to purchase up to 75MW of capacity in an amount not to exceed $4,961,373.59. This is a five-year contract, starting June 1,2021. This contract would cover a portion of the Utility's capacity needs; the remainder will be covered by our remaining generating units, an energy and capacity contract to be determined from the Capacity and Energy RFP, and capacity auction purchases or additional capacity contracts.
