Senate committee substitute makes the following change to the 2nd edition.

Amends GS 143-64.17A (Solicitation of guaranteed energy savings contracts), deleting a provision that required governmental units to publish second notices of requests for proposals if fewer than two proposals were received or fewer than two qualified providers attended the mandatory pre-bid meeting. Also deletes language that allowed the governmental unit to open the proposals and select a qualified provider if only one proposal is received only if, as a result of a second notice of the request for proposals, one or more proposals by qualified providers are received.
