RESOLUTION APPROVING RENEWAL OF ASSET MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
(AMA)TRANSACTION CONFIRMATION FOR POWER PLANT
FOR THE CITY OF AMES
WHEREAS, over the past year, Electric Services converted both of the Power Plant's coal-
fired generators to use natural gas; the Power Plant now typically burns 12,000 MMBtu of natural
gas daily to generate electricity and consume refuse-derived fuel; and,
WHEREAS, this contract is for a firm to provide its asset management services to manage
the City's natural gas purchases and gas pipeline transportation contracts; the contracted company
serves as a bridge between the natural gas commodity already under contract and the delivery
services already contract; and,
WHEREAS, on October 27, 2015, the Council awarded a contract to BP Canada Energy
Marketing Corp. of Omaha,Nebraska, for the AMA/Pipeline services for the City of Ames; and,
WHEREAS, BP has provided three separate renewal agreements, each providing a different
service, and this renewal is for an AMA Transaction Confirmation; and,
WHEREAS, the AMA Transaction Confirmation agreement outlines the terns and
conditions when the actual amount of natural gas burned in a day is less than 12,000 dekatherms;
for these events, BP Canada will sell or store the excess gas on behalf of the City and credit the City
the revenue; and,
WHEREAS, this agreement also outlines the terns and conditions when the actual amount
of natural gas burned in a day is greater than 12,000 dekatherms, but less than 14,000 dekathers;
for these events, BP Canada will purchase additional natural gas on behalf of the City and charge the
City for the gas plus its fee.
