Description

Cooperative procurement of professional services; construction; solar power purchase agreements. Allows contracting entities to contract for the provision of solar services in order to reduce energy costs. The measure authorizes any contracting entity to purchase services under a solar services agreement entered into by another contracting entity, even if it did not participate in the request for proposals, if the request for proposals specified that the procurement was being conducted on behalf of other contracting entities. The measure specifies that terms and conditions of project agreements for the provision of solar energy that reference the terms and conditions of a master solar power purchase agreement shall be binding and effective for the life of the project agreements, whether or not the master power purchase agreement is still in effect. The bill provides that it is applicable to any solar services agreement regardless of the date of the agreement. Read the Bill »
