For legislation relative to life cycle costs for public construction. State Administration and Regulatory Oversight.

AI Summary

This bill requires awarding authorities for public construction contracts to consider life cycle cost estimates, which include the operational, installation, financing, fueling, maintenance, and replacement costs of the facility and its energy system, when determining the lowest responsible and eligible bidder. This is intended to ensure that the long-term costs of operating and maintaining the public facility are taken into account, rather than just the initial construction costs.
