Applicability. In order to protect the integrity | 7 | | of historic buildings, no provision of this Article shall be | 8 | | interpreted to require the implementation of energy | 9 | | conservation measures that conflict with respect to any | 10 | | property eligible for, nominated to, or entered on the National | 11 | | Register of Historic Places, pursuant to the National Historic | 12 | | Preservation Act of 1966, or the Illinois Register of Historic | 13 | | Places, pursuant to the Illinois Historic Preservation Act. | 14 | | (30 ILCS 500/32-5 new) | 15 | | Sec. 32-5.

measure" means any improvement, | 18 | | repair, alteration, or betterment of any
building or facility | 19 | | owned or operated by the State or any
equipment, fixture, or | 20 | | furnishing to be added to or used in any
such building or | 21 | | facility, subject to all applicable building codes,
that is | 22 | | designed to reduce
energy consumption or operating costs, and | 23 | | may include, without limitation,
one or more of the following: | 24 | | (1) Insulation of the building structure or systems |
| | | HB1504 | - 4 - | LRB097 10230 PJG 50426 b |
|

system after the proposed modifications are made. | 17 | | (6) Energy recovery systems. | 18 | | (7)
Energy conservation measures that provide | 19 | | long-term operating cost
reductions. | 20 | | "Guaranteed energy savings contract" means a contract for: | 21 | | (i) the
implementation of an
energy audit, data collection, and | 22 | | other related analyses preliminary to
the undertaking of energy | 23 | | conservation measures; (ii) the evaluation and

| | | HB1504 | - 5 - | LRB097 10230 PJG 50426 b |
|
| 1 | | verify post-installation energy
consumption and energy-related | 2 | | operating costs. The contract shall provide
that all payments, | 3 | | except
obligations on termination of the contract before its | 4 | | expiration, are to be
made over time and that the savings are | 5 | | guaranteed to the extent necessary
to pay the costs of
the | 6 | | energy conservation measures. Energy savings may include | 7 | | energy reduction and offsetting sources of renewable energy | 8 | | funds including renewable energy credits and carbon credits. | 9 | | "Qualified provider" means a person
or business whose | 10 | | employees are experienced and trained in the design,
| 11 | | implementation, or installation of
energy conservation | 12 | | measures. The minimum training required for any person
or | 13 | | employee under this paragraph shall be the satisfactory | 14 | | completion of at
least 40 hours of course instruction dealing | 15 | | with energy conservation
measures. A qualified provider to whom | 16 | | the contract is
awarded shall give a sufficient bond to the | 17 | | State agency for its
faithful performance. | 18 | | "Request for proposals" means a
competitive selection | 19 | | achieved by negotiated procurement. The request for proposals | 20 | | shall be announced

date, in the Illinois Procurement Bulletin, | 22 | | from the State purchasing officer that will
administer the
| 23 | | program, requesting innovative solutions and proposals for | 24 | | energy
conservation measures. Proposals submitted shall be | 25 | | sealed. The request
for proposals shall include all of the | 26 | | following: |
| | | HB1504 | - 6 - | LRB097 10230 PJG 50426 b |
|
| 1 | | (1) The name and address of the State agency. | 2 | | (2) The name, address, title, and phone number of the | 3 | | State purchasing officer. | 4 | | (3) Notice indicating that the State agency is | 5 | | requesting
qualified
providers to propose energy | 6 | | conservation measures through a guaranteed
energy savings | 7 | | contract. | 8 | | (4) The date, time, and place where proposals must be | 9 | | received. | 10 | | (5) The evaluation criteria for assessing the | 11 | | proposals. | 12 | | (6) Any other stipulations and clarifications the | 13 | | State agency
may require. | 14 | | (30 ILCS 500/32-10 new) | 15 | | Sec. 32-10. Evaluation of proposal. Before entering into a | 16 | | guaranteed
energy savings contract under Section 32-15, a State | 17 | | purchasing officer shall
submit
a request for proposals. The | 18 | | State purchasing officer shall evaluate any
sealed
proposal | 19 | | from a qualified provider. The evaluation shall analyze the | 20 | | estimates
of all costs of installations, modifications, or | 21 | | remodeling, including, without
limitation, costs of a | 22 | | pre-installation energy audit or analysis, design,
| 23 | | engineering, installation, maintenance, repairs, debt
service, | 24 | | conversions to a different energy or fuel source, or
| 25 | | post-installation project monitoring, data collection, and |
| | | HB1504 | - 7 - | LRB097 10230 PJG 50426 b |
|
| 1 | | reporting. The
evaluation shall include a detailed analysis of | 2 | | whether either the energy
consumed or the operating costs, or | 3 | | both, will be reduced. If technical
assistance is not available | 4 | | by a licensed architect or registered
professional engineer on | 5 | | the State agency's staff, then the
evaluation of
the proposal | 6 | | shall be done by a registered professional engineer or
| 7 | | architect who is retained by the State agency. Any licensed | 8 | | architect or registered professional engineer evaluating a | 9 | | proposal under this Section may not have any financial or | 10 | | contractual relationship with a qualified provider or other | 11 | | source that would constitute a conflict of interest. The State | 12 | | agency may
pay a reasonable fee for evaluation of the proposal | 13 | | or include the fee as
part of the payments made under Section | 14 | | 32-20. | 15 | | (30 ILCS 500/32-15 new) | 16 | | Sec. 32-15. Award of guaranteed energy savings contract. | 17 | | Sealed
proposals must be opened by the State purchasing officer | 18 | | at a
public opening at which the contents of the proposals must | 19 | | be announced.
Each person or entity submitting a sealed | 20 | | proposal must receive at least 10
days notice of the time and | 21 | | place of the opening. The State purchasing officer
shall select | 22 | | the qualified provider that best meets the needs of
the State | 23 | | agency. The State agency shall provide
public notice of (i) the
| 24 | | meeting at which it proposes to award a guaranteed energy | 25 | | savings contract,
(ii) the names of the parties to the proposed |
| | | HB1504 | - 8 - | LRB097 10230 PJG 50426 b |
|
| 1 | | contract, and (iii) the purpose
of
the contract. The public | 2 | | notice shall be made at least 10 days prior to
the meeting. | 3 | | After evaluating the proposals under Section 32-10, a State | 4 | | purchasing officer may enter into a guaranteed energy savings | 5 | | contract with a
qualified provider if he or she finds that the | 6 | | amount the State agency would spend on the energy
conservation | 7 | | measures recommended in the proposal would not exceed the
| 8 | | amount to be saved in either energy or operational costs, or | 9 | | both, within a
10-year period from the date of installation, if | 10 | | the recommendations in
the proposal are followed. | 11 | | (30 ILCS 500/32-20 new) | 12 | | Sec. 32-20. Guarantee. The guaranteed energy savings | 13 | | contract shall
include a written guarantee of the qualified | 14 | | provider that either the
energy or operational cost savings, or | 15 | | both, will meet or exceed within 20
years the costs of the | 16 | | energy conservation measures. The qualified provider
shall | 17 | | reimburse the State agency for any shortfall of guaranteed
| 18 | | energy
savings projected in the contract. A qualified provider | 19 | | shall provide a
sufficient bond to the State agency for the | 20 | | installation and the
faithful performance of all the measures | 21 | | included in the contract. The
guaranteed energy savings | 22 | | contract may provide for payments over a period
of time, not to | 23 | | exceed 20 years from the date of the final installation of
the | 24 | | measures. |

|
| 1 | | (30 ILCS 500/32-25 new) | 2 | | Sec. 32-25. Operational and energy cost savings. The State | 3 | | agency
shall document the operational and energy cost savings | 4 | | specified in the
guaranteed energy savings contract and shall | 5 | | designate and appropriate that
amount for an annual payment of | 6 | | the contract. If the annual energy savings
are less than | 7 | | projected under the guaranteed energy savings contract, the
| 8 | | qualified
provider shall pay the difference as provided in | 9 | | Section 32-20.
| 10 | | Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon | 11 | | becoming law.
