Procurement Process. In addition to providing strategic energy planning, supply sourcing, and supply management, the Team's procurement process encompasses additional activities to help ensure the success of the procurement. The Team's process typically involves an online, real-time reverse energy auction. The services have been organized into three categories: Pre-Auction Tasks, Auction Tasks, and Post-Auction Tasks (see Figure 18). (FLOW CHART) FIGURE 18: THE TEAM'S COMPREHENSIVE PROCUREMENT PROCESS WORLD ENERGY SOLUTIONS PROPRIETARY INFORMATION WORLD ENERGY SOLUTIONS
5.1.1 PRE-AUCTION TASKS (FLOW CHART) FIGURE 19: PRE-AUCTION TASKS Pre-Auction Tasks (see Figure 19) comprise the first set of activities in the procurement process. These activities create a strong foundation necessary to perform a successful procurement: - PROVIDE MARKET EXPERTISE (ON-GOING ACTIVITY THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS) - The Team's market expertise can first and foremost be attributed to the number of auctions that the Team has run. This expertise is brought to bear in a number of important areas including analysis of rates and tariffs, an assessment of procurement options, renewable power requirements, development and execution of the supply solicitation, and locating and pre-qualifying suppliers. Using the results of this analysis, the Team develops a comprehensive procurement strategy and implements a total supply-side management solution for client accounts. - PROCESS EDUCATION AND MARKETING SUPPORT - The Team will educate ECOE and ECOE's customers on the Team's process. This includes how the Team will analyze accounts and aggregate them into RFPs in order to promote more competition and bidding; how the Team will locate and pre-qualify reputable suppliers to bid on the energy load; what contract options ECOE may want to consider, and how the Team will market the procurement opportunity to other eligible entities. For MDGS, the Team met with state agencies such as Camden Yards, Raven's Stadium, and numerous state universities to explain the process, encourage them to participate in the procurement, and collect account data. The Team was able to increase the size of the auction by 118%, resulting in greater load and more competitive prices. The Team recommends this approach to ECOE. - COLLECT AND ANALYZE ENERGY CONSUMPTION DATA - The Team will collect agency account and market data pertaining for all accounts in the procurement. Additionally, we will pull utility quality data direction from the utility....
