The Village has again engaged NIMEC, who managed the initial aggregation in September 2012. NIMEC has solicited bids from multiple suppliers and consulted with the Village on their decision to select the supplier that best meets their needs. Four bids were received. The Village Council finds it to be in the best interests of the Village and residents to accept the bid from MC Squared and to enter into a Master Supply Agreement with MC Squared for a period of twelve (12) months. The Aggregation Program shall continue to operate as an opt-out program for residential and small commercial retail customers.
