Responses to this RFP will be submitted through e-mail to ugirfp@ugi.com.  Questions pertaining to this RFP can also be sent through the same email up to 12:00 p.m. on August 26, 2008.

In order to have bids considered, there must be a fully executed EEI or ISDA contract.  Since we have an EEI contract with you, we will continue to use that contract for any purchases made under the RFP.  However, under the terms of the approved Default Service Plan, new EEI or ISDA contracts will have to be in place for purchases made after December 31, 2009.  The basic framework of the contracts was set forth in UGI’s filing and will be provided upon request.

The criteria for selecting winning bids is price.  However, no supplier can supply more than 33% of supplies during a supply period.  In the event of identical winning bids, UGI will select the supplier that is providing the least amount of energy during the applicable supply period.  If this does not determine a winning bid, the winning bidder will be determined randomly by Pace.

Very truly yours,

 

David C. Beasten
Director – Power Supply and Rates
