Statutory Requirements. Based on the foregoing: 1. It is unlikely that the exemption will encourage favoritism in the awarding of public improvements contracts or substantially diminish competition for public improvement contract; and 2. The awarding of public improvement contracts under the exemption will result in substantial cost savings to the city because evaluation of factors in addition to price are essential to the success of projects under this classification. (b) Ener,qy savin,qs performance contracts. Unless the contract qualifies for award under another classification in this section 2.1430, contractors for energy savings performance contracts shall be selected under a request for proposals. Alternate AwardProcess. Requires the use of formal, advertised request for proposals. Cost Savings and Other Benefits. Energy savings performance contracts will include scientific analysis, engineering and design services, cost-benefit analysis, construction services and subsequent scientific testing and monitoring services. ESP projects may be phased in over several years. Award of ESPCs to the lowest bidder under an invitation to bid would impair the city's ability to evaluate the skill, experience and educational qualifications of the contractor's team and dramatically increase the risk of unsuccessful projects, waste and improper expenditure of public funds. Affect on Competition. Requires complete and open competition to the same pool of potential contractors that would be qualified to respond to an invitation to bid. No Favoritism. Requires complete and open competition to the same pool of potential contractors that would be qualified to respond to an invitation to bid. Other Factors. The model rules adopted by the Attorney General for this class of contracts require evaluation under a request for proposals due to the heavy scientific analysis and design requirements for this class of contracts.
