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, including public notice requirements, competitive sealed proposals, and the necessity for a project development agreement prior to contract execution.

Additionally, the bill outlines specific contract provisions, including payment terms, performance indicators, and the ability for governmental units to terminate contracts if funding is insufficient. It also ensures that funds designated for operating or capital expenditures can be utilized for these contracts without affecting state grants or subsidies. The legislation emphasizes compliance with prevailing wage laws and establishes criteria for the qualifications of contractors involved in these projects. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
