Utility Rate Study

The Village of Little Valley, New York, is soliciting proposals from qualified firms to conduct a comprehensive Utility Rate Study for its Municipal Electric services. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the current rate structure, operating and maintenance expenses, revenue requirements, capital improvement needs, and projected financial obligations. The selected firm will be tasked with developing recommendations for rate adjustments and structures that are equitable, financially sustainable, and sufficient to support long-term operational and capital requirements. Key deliverables include a final report of findings and recommendations, and the potential presentation of these results to the governing board. Interested firms must submit proposals by 4:00 PM on December 8, 2026, providing both electronic and hard copy submissions to Clerk Treasurer JoElla Emborsky. Proposals must include the firm's qualifications, relevant experience, proposed methodology, a project schedule, references, and a detailed fee estimate. The Village of Little Valley will award the contract to the firm deemed to be in the best interest of the Village based on the evaluation of these criteria.
