RFI 2900- Municipal Mandate Relief Software Solution

New York State Office of General Services’ (OGS) Energy Planning and Procurement Group (EPPG) administers the Municipal Mandate Relief program, which procures electricity for qualified municipal entities through State Finance Law § 97-g (3) and g (4)(f), and General Municipal Law § 99-r and § 104. This program provides municipalities billing passthrough via public utilities. EPPG procures electricity as a direct customer of the New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) on behalf of an individual municipality. The individual municipalities then settle their bill with the public utility, and then the utility reimburses the State for the cost of energy procured from the NYISO.
In fulfilling the needs of this program, EPPG is seeking information regarding a software platform and/or service solutions that are able to accomplish the following:

1. Collect Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) files from Public Utilities operating in New York,
2. Connect with Public Utilities data sources required for the performance of this initiative, 
3. Extrapolate and provide estimated hourly bids based off historical data,
4. Reconcile commodity costs and customer accounts utilizing utility batch files and rate schedules (refer to Sec 1.2, #1), and
5. Customize reports as necessary.
