Board approves 12‑month natural gas supply contract with UGI after competitive bids
Summary
After receiving three responses (one declined), commissioners accepted UGI Energy's 12‑month bid for natural gas at 3.5508 per MCF and awarded a 12‑month contract citing market volatility and budgeting concerns.
Elk County commissioners voted Aug. 6 to award a 12‑month natural gas supply contract to UGI Energy following a routine bid process. Staff said three solicitations were requested; one vendor declined to bid, UGI bid 3.5508 per MCF for 12 months and NGL Energy bid 3.8 per MCF.
The chief clerk recommended a 12‑month renewal because of the volatile energy market. Staff noted the prior two‑year contract had a lower rate and that the new bid represents an increase; commissioners moved and approved the 12‑month UGI contract by voice vote.
Staff said the pricing was valid only until 11:00 a.m. on the bid day and urged timely action to secure the rate.
