Hudson advisory members draft RFP and public notice as Community Choice Aggregation plan moves forward
Summary
Council members updated an RFP and draft public notice to solicit administrators for a Community Choice Aggregation program and discussed posting, outreach and a six-week submission window.
Council members working on a Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) draft said they prepared a public-notice draft and updated RFP language to solicit potential program administrators. The draft requires publication in the local newspaper for at least 30 days and direct outreach to authorized administrators listed by the Public Service Commission.
A council member reported drafting public-notice language and proposing an RFP posting timeline: post by the end of next week and leave it open for six weeks so administrators have sufficient time to respond. Members agreed to send the RFP directly to administrators on the commission’s list and to local nonprofits doing CCA work, including the Mid-Hudson Energy Transition group and Sustainable Westchester where applicable.
Council members noted the requirement that Hudson join a larger aggregation group or negotiate with neighboring communities and that outreach should include identified potential partners and administrators. The council asked staff (Tracy Delaney/Tilaney referenced) to post the notice in the register; if that is not possible the council will arrange alternate posting. Members also agreed to copy Justin Weaver on outreach correspondence.
Ending: The council will finalize the public notice and RFP edits, proceed with required newspaper posting, and reach out directly to authorized administrators and known nonprofit collaborators.
