A. Approve the City of Pensacola (d/b/a Pensacola Energy) Agreement for Interruptible Natural Gas Service for 2935 North "L" Street, 1200 West Leonard Street, 357 South Baylen Street, and 201 South Palafox Street, establishing service, subject to the current City Rate Schedule GAF (Almost Firm Gas Transportation Service, Ordinance No. 28-11); and

| BACKGROUND: |
| Pensacola Energy is offering this interruptible gas service rate contract for the Main Jail, Central Booking and Detention Facility, the M.C. Blanchard Building, and the Escambia County Government Complex. The rate is based on the County’s volume of gas usage for these buildings, and is also based on the County’s ability to utilize its own propane-air backup systems. Pensacola Energy purchases long-term strips of gas at competitive pricing in order to cover the basic needs of their customers, while the balance of their gas is purchased on the daily market and is subject to some price volatility. This Agreement allows the County, for a six month period, to lock in at the fixed rate of $5.99 per MCF(thousand cubic feet). Without a contract in place, these accounts would be classified at GC-1 (within city limits) or GC-2 (outside city limits). Current rates for these classifications are $17.45 per MCF and $18.79 per MCF. |
