Bill > HB2854

This bill modifies provisions for energy cost savings contracts, which are agreements for implementing measures like insulation, energy-efficient windows, or updated HVAC systems designed to reduce energy consumption or operating costs. It clarifies that governmental units, which include state agencies and local political subdivisions, must solicit competitive proposals for these contracts, outlining specific information that must be included in a request for proposal (RFP). The bill states that contracts will be awarded to the qualified provider offering the best proposal where the projected savings meet or exceed the costs within fifteen years, and the provider guarantees these savings, reimbursing any shortfall annually. Importantly, this bill explicitly states that it does not replace or supersede existing bidding requirements for construction, construction manager-at-risk, or design-build contracts, nor does it authorize new construction or renovations outside the defined scope of energy cost savings measures.
