RE: Proposed Resolution No. 2022-17 Increasing Purchasing Agent’s Authority (Agenda Item #10)
ATTACHMENTS: A.1 Proposed Resolution No. 2022-17 Increasing Purchasing Agent Authority ($400,000)
A.2 Proposed Resolution No. 2022-17 Increasing Purchasing Agent Authority ($225,000)
B. Resolution No. 2018-04 Designating the CEO as Purchasing Agent and Delegating Purchasing Agent Authority
C. Strikethrough of Resolution No. 2018-04 Designating the CEO as Purchasing Agent and Delegating Purchasing Agent Authority
D. Resolution No. 2020-04 Rescinding Resolution No. 2018-03 and Delegating Energy Procurement Authority
Dear Board Members:
Summary:
Since MCE launched its service to customers, your Board established the signing authority for the agency to approve and execute non-energy procurement contracts consistent with a Board-approved budget. In 2010, when MCE served 8 communities, the signing authority was $20,000; in 2013, when MCE served 13 communities, it was increased to $25,000.
On March 15, 2018, your Board passed and adopted Resolution 2018-04 (Attachment B), designating the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) as MCE’s purchasing agent and authorizing the CEO to enter into non-energy procurement transactions not exceeding $100,000 per vendor per fiscal year for a given scope of work. The delegated contracting authority would be consistent with an approved Integrated Resource Plan and/or budget. In 2018:
- MCE’s total net position was $50,731,303.
- MCE had 255,497 customers, serving 33 communities.
- MCE executed approximately 50 contracts that year.
Now, in December 2022, staff recommend your Board increase the CEO’s purchasing agent authority to $400,000 to streamline MCE’s operational and programmatic contracting needs as it serves 37 communities across the four counties of MCE’s service area. This contracting authority of $400,000 would support MCE’s growth, and align with MCE’s substantially increased budget, as well as its routine purchasing and contracting needs. In 2022:
- MCE’s total net position is $203,279,213 (400% growth from 2018). - MCE has more than 582,530 customers (228% growth from 2018). - MCE has executed approximately 150 contracts (200% growth from 2018), 17 of which were between $100,000 and $400,000.
While MCE’s total net position has seen a 400% increase from 2018, there has been no increase in delegated non-energy procurement authority.
Establishing the purchasing agent’s contracting authority at $400,000 would represent
0.02% of MCE’s current annual budget. Revenues in Fiscal Year 2022/2023 are projected to be $580,000,000, and MCE’s revenues are expected to reach $700,000,000 in Fiscal Year 2023/2024. As such, MCE’s contracting needs would increase, as well as programmatic opportunities that allow MCE to further its mission of confronting the climate crisis and creating equitable community benefits. An increased contracting authority would promote efficiency and responsiveness within MCE’s operations to capitalize on those opportunities and not be subject to the timing of an applicable Committee or Board meeting.
Staff recommend increasing the purchasing agent authority of the CEO to $400,000.
Alternatively, staff have prepared materials to increase the purchasing agent authority of the CEO to $225,000 should your Board prefer to consider it.
To show a comprehensive view of current contracting authority, staff have also included Resolution 2020-04 (Attachment D) adopted by your Board in November 2020, which provides for the separate delegated authority to the CEO for energy procurement.
Fiscal Impacts:
None. All contracts approved under this Resolution 2022-17 would be consistent with a Board-approved budget and/or Integrated Resources Plan.
Recommendation:
Adopt proposed Resolution 2022-17 Increasing Purchasing Agent Authority to $400,000 (Attachment A.1). Alternatively, adopt proposed Resolution 2022-17 Increasing Purchasing Agent Authority to $225,000 (Attachment A.2).
