The proposed bill amends Title 62 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes by adding a new subchapter, Subchapter F, titled "Sustainable Capital Improvement Project Contract." This subchapter establishes a framework for governmental units to enter into contracts for sustainable capital improvement projects, which include the design, construction, financing, and maintenance of various public facilities aimed at enhancing energy efficiency and sustainability. Key provisions include definitions of terms such as "qualified provider," "sustainable capital improvement project," and "key performance indicator," as well as detailed contracting procedures, funding mechanisms, and requirements for compliance with prevailing wage laws.

The bill outlines specific procedures for governmental units to award sustainable capital improvement contracts, including the use of competitive sealed proposals and public notice requirements. It mandates that contracts include key performance indicators to measure effectiveness and allows for payments to be made over a period not exceeding 35 years. Additionally, it ensures that governmental units can terminate contracts if funding is insufficient and clarifies that the use of these contracts will not affect the availability of state grants or subsidies. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
