METHODOLOGY:

This bill makes an appropriation of $2,016,343 to the Department of Administrative Services in Fiscal Year 2020 for the purchase and replacement of all systems providing heat to state-owned facilities located in downtown Concord that were obtaining steam from the former Concord Steam Corporation.  The appropriation shall not lapse until June 30, 2021.  The Department indicates the new appropriation will serve to complete the heating conversion project which began in 2017 and is identical to an amount that lapsed from a prior appropriation.

 

The Department of Administrative Services indicates a balance of $2,016,343 lapsed on June 30, 2019 from an appropriation of $18,000,000 made in 2017 (Chapter 2:1, Laws of 2017) for the purchase and replacement of all systems providing heat to state facilities located at the Governor Hugh J. Gallen state office park and state-owned buildings in downtown Concord that were obtaining steam from the Concord Steam Corporation.
