	Description: Massachusetts General Law Chapter 25A Section 14 allows a limited exemption from public procurement law for energy conservation projects costing less than $300,000 in total project costs.

The MBTA Chapter 25A Energy Conservation Program shall establish and maintain a list of qualified vendors able to deliver full turn-key services for energy efficiency projects under M.G.L. Ch. 25A §14. At the MBTA’s discretion, additional qualified vendors may be added on a periodic basis. The MBTA expects to complete 12 – 15 projects per year. The contract term will be from contract execution until February 28, 2029, provided, however, that M.G.L. Ch. 25A §14 remains in effect during the contract term.
