A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZING
THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
AGREEMENT WITH EFFICIENCY SERVICES GROUP, LLC FOR
PUBLIC BENEFIT PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION
WHEREAS, with the recent departure of the City's Business Development Manager, the
day-to-day management of the Electric Utility's (EU) Public Benefits (PB) Program has fallen to
existing EU staff with other priorities and work assignments; and
WHEREAS, until such time as the City is able to recruit and hire a Business
Development Manager to assist with these efforts, staff recommends that the City contract out
the management of its PB Program to Efficiency Services Group, LLC (ESG) for a period of six
months in an amount not to exceed $50,000; and
WHEREAS, ESG has been providing complete turnkey public benefit program
administration services to publicly owned utilities (POUs) for over ten years and currently
functions in this capacity for 23 POUs in California and the Northwest, including other Northern
California Power Agency (NCPA) members; and
WHEREAS, as part of these efforts, the EU will be able to eliminate an existing annual
contract for assistance with its SB 1037 reporting, thereby saving approximately $5,000; and
WHEREAS, funding for the proposed services is included in the Fiscal Year 2014/15 PB
Program budget.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council does hereby
authorize the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement with Efficiency
Services Group, LLC for Public Benefit Program administration in an amount not to exceed
$50,000.
