The Department of Environmental Quality makes no representations as to the sufficiency of this document to achieve the purposes sought by a particular local government. For example, this document does not take into account any local procurement requirements that may be applicable to a particular local government. Local governments using this draft template should consult with their own legal counsel or contracting officer prior to signing the ESA for such a contract and make their own independent determination as to its sufficiency.\nIf during negotiations the ESCO requests edits to this document that attempt to limit or remove their responsibilities for the performance of or guaranteed, actual, measured savings for the ECMs to be implemented by this agreement such edits should be rejected.\nPer N.C.G.S. § 143-64.17B(b), before entering into a Guaranteed Energy Savings Contract, the governmental unit shall provide published notice of the time and place or of the meeting at which it proposes to award the contract, the names of the parties to the proposed contract, and the contract’s purpose. The notice must be published at least 15 days before the date of the proposed award or meeting.\nPer N.C.G.S. § 143-64.17B(a)(3), the energy conservation measures to be installed under the contract must be for an existing building or utility system.\nPlease delete this page from your ESA.
