Electricity Supply Cooperative

The County of Rockland is seeking bids from pre-qualified retail energy supply companies to provide retail electricity services to various entities within the county, including the County itself, the Rockland County Sewer District No. 1, the Rockland County Solid Waste Management Authority, and Rockland Community College. Each entity will enter into a separate contract and will be responsible for all energy payments related to their respective services. The solicitation emphasizes that official bid documents are distributed exclusively through BidNet Direct and the Bonfire System, and vendors must obtain documents from these sources to ensure they receive all necessary attachments, drawings, and addenda. The contract is open to providers across all New York State counties, with a focus on companies experienced in similar contracts, such as Direct Energy Business LLC, which has been awarded comparable contracts within the past five years. The solicitation, titled "Electricity Supply Cooperative," was posted on August 23, 2024, with a response deadline of September 10, 2024, at 11:30 AM. The contract term options include 12, 24, 36, or 48 months, with a 12-month renewal option. The project involves a contract value estimated between five and fifteen million dollars. Interested vendors can contact the County’s Director of Purchasing, Paul Brennan, via email or phone for further information. The project aims to secure reliable electricity supply services across multiple entities within New York State, with a focus on competitive bidding and compliance with procurement regulations.
