School districts, notwithstanding any other provision of this Code, are authorized to enter into long term contracts known as "guaranteed energy cost savings." They are empowered to use their annual Division II energy appropriations to cover the costs of the contract. All such contracts must contain provisions which allow termination of the contract by the district in the event of non-appropriation of sufficient identified funds to meet the terms of the contract. No additional State funds shall be available for this type of contract. Districts which enter into such an agreement, notwithstanding any change in regulations, shall be allowed to complete the contract using Division II energy appropriations. Where these contracts include hardware/material expenditures, such procurements will be subject to subchapter I of Chapter 69 of Title 29, whether the procurement is carried out by the district or vendor. In the event that the Division II energy appropriations are insufficient to meet the costs of the contract and energy used, districts shall be required to use other funds available to it for the costs exceeding the appropriations. The Division of Accounting is directed to assist school districts in implementing such contracts.
