limitation, | 2 |
| costs of a pre-installation energy audit or analysis, design,
| 3 |
| engineering, installation, maintenance, repairs, debt
service, | 4 |
| conversions to a different energy or fuel source, or
| 5 |
| post-installation project monitoring, data collection, and | 6 |
| reporting. The
evaluation shall include a detailed analysis of | 7 |
| whether either the energy
consumed or the operating costs, or | 8 |
| both, will be reduced. If technical
assistance is not available | 9 |
| by a licensed architect or registered
professional engineer on | 10 |
| the community college district staff, then the
evaluation of
| 11 |
| the proposal shall be done by a registered professional | 12 |
| engineer or
architect, who is retained by the community college | 13 |
| district. Any licensed architect or registered professional | 14 |
| engineer evaluating a proposal under this Section may not have | 15 |
| any financial or contractual relationship with a qualified | 16 |
| provider or other source that would constitute a conflict of | 17 |
| interest. The community
college district may
pay a reasonable | 18 |
| fee for evaluation of the proposal or include the fee as
part | 19 |
| of the payments made under Section 5A-40.

| prior to
the meeting. After evaluating the proposals under | 2 |
| Section 5A-30, a community
college
district may enter into a | 3 |
| guaranteed energy savings contract with a
qualified provider if | 4 |
| it finds that the amount it would spend on the
energy
| 5 |
| conservation measures recommended in the proposal would not | 6 |
| exceed the
amount to be saved in either energy or operational | 7 |
| costs, or both, within a
20-year
10 year period from the date | 8 |
| of installation, if the recommendations in
the proposal are | 9 |

include a written guarantee of the qualified | 15 |
| provider that either the
energy or operational cost savings, or | 16 |
| both, will meet or exceed within 20
10
years the costs
of the | 17 |
| energy conservation measures. The qualified provider
shall | 18 |
| reimburse the community college district for any shortfall of | 19 |
| guaranteed
energy
savings projected in the contract. A | 20 |
| qualified provider shall provide a
sufficient bond to the | 21 |
| community college district for the installation and the
| 22 |
| faithful performance of all the measures included in the | 23 |
| contract. The
guaranteed energy savings contract may provide | 24 |
| for payments over a period
of time, not to exceed 20
10 years | 25 |
