Washington State Statutes - Washington Attorney Directory

The legislature finds that:

     (1) Conserving energy in publicly owned buildings will have a beneficial effect on our overall supply of energy;

     (2) Conserving energy in publicly owned buildings can result in cost savings for taxpayers; and

     (3) Performance-based energy contracts are a means by which municipalities can achieve energy conservation without capital outlay.

     Therefore, the legislature declares that it is the policy that a municipality may, after a competitive selection process, negotiate a performance-based energy contract with a firm that offers the best proposal.

[1985 c 169 § 1.]
