City hires advisers for utility research
Public Financial Management Inc. will advise the city on financial matters related to municipalization, including cost modeling, rate projection and bonding scenarios. The company is based in Philadelphia and most of the advisers working on the project are based in California and Washington, D.C.
Two engineering firms — Exponential Engineering Co. and Schneider Electric SA — will offer advice on separating Xcel Energy Inc.’s distribution system from the assets a city utility would need, as well as the engineering and technical steps the city would want to take to operate the utility. Exponential Engineering is based in Fort Collins, and Schneider Electric is based in France and has an office in Denver.
