Third Party Electricity Supply for Municipal Aggregation

The City of Boston (the “City”), acting by and through its Commissioner of Environment (the “Official”), requests proposals from qualified competitive suppliers (“Vendors”) to provide Electricity Supply and related administrative services to the City’s Community Choice Energy municipal aggregation program (the “RFP”).

An electronic copy of the RFP may be obtained after 12 o’clock noon Eastern Time (ET) on April 24, 2023, at the City’s Supplier Portal (https://www.boston.gov/departments/procurement) under Event ID EV00012261. The RFP will be available up to the deadline for the submission of Non-Price proposals as set forth below. This RFP is exempt from the public bidding requirements of M.G.L. c.30B pursuant to sec. (1)(b)(32) thereof.

Vendors shall submit their Non-Price proposals electronically via the City’s Supplier Portal no later than 4 o’clock p.m. ET on May 9, 2023. Price Proposals providing indicative pricing will be separately submitted electronically via the City’s Supplier Portal at 12 o’clock noon ET on May 10, 2023, in the form specified in the RFP. Final pricing will be submitted via the City’s Supplier Portal no later than 11 o’clock a.m. ET on May 17, 2023, in the form specified in the RFP.

Proposals must be submitted in conformance with the provisions of the RFP. Should the City execute a contract pursuant to the RFP, the City shall determine the term of the contract based on Vendor proposals. The term of the contract shall be for a period of not less than six months nor longer than three years. The contract term will commence on the first meter-read date on or after December 1, 2023, or as soon as possible thereafter, and will terminate no later than December 31, 2026.

The Official shall cancel the contract if funds are not appropriated in any fiscal year. The award of any contract shall be subject to the approval of the City’s Corporation Counsel and the Mayor of Boston.

The City and the Official reserve the right to waive any defects, or informalities, to accept or reject any or all proposals, or any part or parts thereof, to negotiate a contract with any qualified Vendor, to invite the submission of additional Price Proposals subsequent to the Price Proposal Submission Date, or to cancel the RFP, if the City deems it to be in the best interests of the City so to do.
