building lot or parcel to class or group or purchasers. Declares emergency, <br />effective on passage. <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Policy Policy No Recommendation <br />Richie Weinman PDD-DEV 01/12/2010 Pri 1 Support <br />Comments: This repeals the prohibition on "inclusionary housing" (ORS 197.309), which is <br />specifically identified in our legislative housing policies. Therefore we should strongly <br />support this proposal. This should be a high, #1, priority. That said, I have great doubts <br />that this bill will make it through - especially during a special session, so spending much <br />energy on it could be a poor use of time. <br />HB 3604 <br />Relating Clause: Relating to preference factors for public contracting; creating new provisions; <br />amending ORS 279A.125, 381.015 and 381.100; and declaring an emergency. <br />Title: Requires contracting agency that issues request for proposals or invitation to bid <br />for construction related to interstate bridge to include preference for products, <br />materials and components fabricated in close proximity to site at which products, <br />materials and components will be used and to consider, consistent with life cycle <br />analysis, whether products, materials and components will help state to meet <br />greenhouse gas reduction targets.

The goal is admirable, but there <br />needs to be a definition of "close proximity" and more details about a "life cycle <br />analysis." I performed a quick internet search on life cycle analysis and found there to be <br />a lot of controversy about the data to use in a life cycle energy analysis and what the <br />results mean. The analyses that are done for this also typically require specialized <br />computer software. Seems to be a complicated and costly analysis that without a clear <br />direction on the data to be used and how to perform the analysis could give controversial <br />results. <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Policy Policy No Recommendation <br />Mike Penwell CS-FAC 01/12/2010 Yes IV.A Monitor <br />Comments: I agree with Paul and Jenifer that the intent of this bill is worthy, but it's too undefined to <br />support for the reasons they both describe.
