Reference: District of Columbia Department of General Services
Electric Supply Services Agreement DCAM-20-NC-CA-0006 under
Baltimore Regional Cooperative Purchasing Committee
Cooperative Purchase Agreement Contract Number P-146 with
WGL Energy Services, Inc.
Dear Chairman Mendelson:
Pursuant to D.C. Official Code 1-204.51(b), the Department of General Services (the
"Department") hereby submits to the Council of the District of Columbia for its review and
passive approval the attached Electricity Supply Services Agreement (the Contract)
under Baltimore Regional Cooperative Purchasing Committee Cooperative Purchase
Agreement Contract Number P-146, (the Baltimore Regional Cooperative Purchasing
Committee) with WGL Energy Services, Inc. (the Contractor).
As the agency charged with real estate management functions for various District government
client agencies, the Department purchases the utilities for buildings within the real estate
portfolio DGS is charged with managing. DGS currently has approximately 800 metered
electric accounts. These accounts range in size from large special-use facilities with multi-
megawatt demands, to parks with exterior lights, to small office-like centers. In total, the
collective electricity consumption is approximately 400,000 Megawatt hours per year, and
the facilities have a combined electrical peak demandofapproximately 75 Megawatts.
Given the alternate green power sources identified above, the Department requires a contract
structure that is not a requirements contract and that will allow for the purchaseofelectricity
to supplement the wind and solar power sources. The subject Contract would require WGL
to work with DGS as it manages its electricity needs. It is expected that the Department will
use a block and index approach coordinated with the renewable energy source to satisfy
the electricity needs not met through the alternate sources. Through this approach, a portion
of the remaining electricity needs will be met through a fixed block purchase while the
balance will be purchased based on market index rates as needed. WGL will be required to
solicit quotes for blocks of electricity, to purchase the blocks of electricity, and to also
purchase electricity on index prices in order to provide all electricity needed that is not
provided by the renewable sources
The proposed Contract would require WGL to provide the Districts electricity supply
services requirements for a period from Date of Award through one year thereafter. The not-
to-exceed valueofthe proposed Contract is Twenty-Three Million ($23,000,000); therefore,
DGS is seeking Council's approval for this action.
In addition to the proposed partially executed Contract, attached are: (i) a contract summary;
(ii) a fiscal certification; (iii) a memorandum and certificationoflegal sufficiency; and (iv) a
Clean Hands certification for the Contractor.
Ifyou have any questions regarding this proposed action, please feel free to contact Keith A.
Anderson, the Department's Director, or George G. Lewis, the Department's Chief of
Contracts and Procurement, at (202) 727-2800.
Sincerely,
Muriel Boyser

(C) The goods or services to be provided, the methods of delivering goods or services, and any
significant program changes reflected in the proposed contract:
As the agency charged with real estate management functions for various District government
client agencies, the Department purchases the utilities for buildings within the real estate portfolio
DGS is charged with managing. DGS currently has approximately 875 metered electric accounts.

1
 parks with exterior lights, to small office-like centers. In total, the collective electricity
consumption is approximately 480,000 Megawatt hours per year, and the facilities have a
combined electrical peak demand of approximately 95 Megawatts.
In its work to reduce the Districts carbon footprint and implement environmentally sustainable
practices, the Department receives power from a wind farm location in Pennsylvania. The wind
farm generates on an annual basis power that covers approximately 25% to 30% of the
Departments needs. The Department also receives power from on-site solar photovoltaic systems
that generate approximately 3.0% of the Departments power needs on an annual basis.
Given the alternate green power sources identified above, the Department requires a contract
structure that is not a requirements contract and that will allow for the purchase of electricity to
supplement the wind and solar power sources. The subject Contract would require WGL to work
with DGS as it manages its electricity needs. It is expected that the Department will use a block
and index approach coordinated with the renewable energy source to satisfy the electricity needs
not met through the alternate sources. Through this approach, a portion of the remaining electricity
needs will be met through a fixed block purchase while the balance will be purchased based on
market index rates as needed. WGL will be required to solicit quotes for blocks of electricity, to
purchase the blocks of electricity, and to also purchase electricity on index prices in order to
provide all electricity needed that is not provided by the renewable sources.
Specific Services Required:
If approved, the Contract would require WGL to work with the Department as the Department
actively manages its electricity needs. WGL would be required to establish a dedicated PJM
subaccount through which to manage all enrolled DGS retail electric accounts, to purchase
electricity (both block purchases and index purchases) for use by the subaccount, and to receive
third-party deliveries to which DGS may commit.
