The proposed bill seeks the Council's approval for a contract with WGL Energy Services, Inc. to provide electric supply services to the Department of General Services (DGS) for a total not-to-exceed amount of $40,000,000. The contract, identified as DCAM-25-NC-CA-0011, will run from September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2026, and is structured as a fixed unit price agreement. WGL will supply electricity to supplement DGS's existing renewable energy sources and manage electricity needs through a block and index purchasing approach. The contract is based on a cooperative purchasing agreement and has been determined to be compliant with the District's budget authority and financial plan, with no opportunities for subcontracting due to the nature of the services provided.

Additionally, the bill outlines the responsibilities of WGL, including setting up a PJM subaccount for managing electricity purchases and providing monthly and quarterly reports on costs associated with electricity supply. The contract specifies a service fee of $0.55 per megawatt hour, with an initial billing rate of $71.00 per megawatt hour, subject to adjustments. It also includes comprehensive insurance requirements for contractors, mandates compliance with applicable laws, and emphasizes the importance of transparency and accountability in the execution of the electric supply services contract. Overall, the legislation aims to ensure a reliable supply of electric power to government facilities while maintaining cost efficiency and compliance with regulatory standards.
