Subd. 10. Wood-Fired Boilers
Effective upon enactment of this act,
no more money shall be paid out of the
treasury of this state in connection
with an agreement under Minnesota
Statutes, section 16B.16, to provide a
wood-fired boiler heating system at the
campus of either Bemidji State
University or St. Cloud State
University. This prohibition is
intended to be permanent.
Minnesota Statutes, section 16B.16,
authorizes the commissioner of
administration to enter into
installment purchase agreements to
acquire equipment that will improve the
energy efficiency of a state building
or facility if, among other things, the
entire cost of the contract is a
percentage of the resultant savings in
energy costs and the state may
unilaterally cancel the agreement if
the legislature fails to appropriate
funds to continue the contract.
Section 16B.16 does not authorize the
commissioner to commit the state to pay
for equipment that does not work nor to
pay more for energy as a result of the
installment purchase agreement than
would be needed without the agreement.
If there are no savings in energy costs
through use of the equipment, there
should be no compensation due under the
agreement.
The commissioner of administration
acted under Minnesota Statutes, section
16B.16, when entering into installment
purchase agreements to install
wood-fired boiler heating systems at
the campuses of Bemidji State
University and St. Cloud State
University. The wood-fired boiler
heating system installed at the Bemidji
campus did not work as promised and the
promised energy savings were not
achieved. The state refused to make
further payments under the agreement
for Bemidji and canceled the agreement
for St. Cloud. The state later resumed
making payments under the agreement for
Bemidji, even though it believed there
had been a complete failure of
consideration.
The purpose of this subdivision is to
make clear to all potential investors
in state and local bonds and to
financial institutions that the state
is not and never has been responsible
for financing the wood-fired boiler
heating systems at Bemidji and St.
Cloud state universities, other than
through payment to the vendor of a
percentage of the resultant savings in
energy costs. Since the equipment and
technology chosen by the vendor did not
produce savings in energy costs, the
entire loss should be borne by the
vendor and by the vendor's financial
backers, not by the state.
Sec. 5. UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA
Subdivision 1. To the regents of the
University of Minnesota for the purposes
