Department of General Services: contracts for energy efficiency information technology products or services.

The State Building Construction Act of 1955 requires that all new public buildings, as specified, be equipped with all energy efficiency measures, materials, and devices that are feasible and cost-effective, as defined, over the life of the building or the life of the energy efficiency measure, whichever is less, and sets forth the duties of the Department of General Services in this regard. This bill would additionally require the department to deem a contract for the purchase of an energy efficiency information technology product or service to be a no-cost or net-neutral cost contract when specified conditions are met. It would require the department to issue a nonmandatory master services agreement permitting owners, operators, and tenants of state facilities to procure a wide range of energy efficiency information technology products and services according to specified criteria. It would require the department to post on its Internet Web site, as specified, a link to a document entitled "Record of Energy-Saving Projects" that contains specified information.
