Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Sec. 10. Evaluation of proposal.

Before entering into a guaranteed
energy savings contract under Section 15, a unit of local government shall
submit
a request for proposals.  The unit of local government shall evaluate any
sealed
proposal from a qualified provider.  The evaluation shall analyze the estimates
of all costs of installations, modifications, or remodeling, including, without
limitation, costs of a pre-installation energy audit or analysis, design,
engineering, installation, maintenance, repairs, debt
service, conversions to a different energy or fuel source, or
post-installation project monitoring, data collection, and reporting.  The
evaluation shall include a detailed analysis of whether either the energy
consumed or the operating costs, or both, will be reduced.  If technical
assistance is not available by a licensed architect or registered
professional engineer on the unit of local government's staff, then the
evaluation of
the proposal shall be done by a registered professional engineer or
architect who is retained by the unit of local government.  Any licensed architect or registered professional engineer evaluating a proposal under this Section may not have any financial or contractual relationship with a qualified provider or other source that would constitute a conflict of interest. The unit of local
government may
pay a reasonable fee for evaluation of the proposal or include the fee as
part of the payments made under Section 20.
