Response provided by Tyler Hjorth, Director of Utilities and Lynda Williams, Purchasing Manager:

From 2018 – 2022, the contract amount was an annual fixed fee of $66,000 plus a not to exceed amount of $5,500 for reimbursable expenses.

There are three main components associated with this substantial increase. 1) Additional hours associated with tracking ERCOT / PUC market redesign associated with legislation after Winter Storm Uri, 2) additional regulatory support related to distributed generation, and 3) cost of services have risen dramatically.
