The public university 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 staff of the public university, then the evaluation of the proposal shall be done by a registered professional engineer or architect, who is retained by the public university. 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 public university may pay a reasonable fee for evaluation of the proposal or include the fee as part of the payments made under Section 20.","path":["CHAPTER 110 HIGHER EDUCATION","Public University Energy Conservation Act."],"source_url":"https://www.ilga.gov/legislation/ILCS/details?ActID=1065\u0026ChapterID=18\u0026ChapAct=FullText\u0026Print=True","current_through":"at least Public Act 104-790","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-15T04:46:27Z","sha256":"bc2e2080902cf63d27f382141730f19c352c00e4b9a84f298ff5f939574911ba","source_id":"us-il","stale":false,"prev":"us-il/110-ilcs-62-5-25","next":"us-il/110-ilcs-62-15"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
