proposals must be opened by a member or employee of the community college board
at a
public opening at which the contents of the proposals must be announced.
Each person or entity submitting a sealed proposal must receive at least 10
days notice of the time and place of the opening.
The community college
district shall select the qualified provider that best meets the needs of
the district. The community college district shall provide public notice of
the
meeting at which it proposes to award a guaranteed energy savings contract
of the names of the parties to the proposed contract and of the purpose of
the contract. The public notice shall be made at least 10 days prior to
the meeting. After evaluating the proposals under Section 5A-30, a community
college
district may enter into a guaranteed energy savings contract with a
qualified provider if it finds that the amount it would spend on the
energy
conservation measures recommended in the proposal would not exceed the
amount to be saved in either energy or operational costs, or both, within a
20-year period from the date of installation, if the recommendations in
the proposal are followed. Contracts let or awarded shall be submitted to the administrators of the Capital Development Board Procurement Bulletin for publication.
