A.  If a person who has been convicted of an offense is eligible for probation, the court may suspend the imposition or execution of sentence and, if so, shall without delay place the person on intensive probation supervision pursuant to section 13‑913 or supervised or unsupervised probation on such terms and conditions as the law requires and the court deems appropriate, including participation in any programs authorized in title 12, chapter 2, article 11.  If a person is not eligible for probation, imposition or execution of sentence shall not be suspended or delayed.  If the court imposes probation, it may also impose a fine as authorized by chapter 8 of this title.  If probation is granted the court shall impose a condition that the person waive extradition for any probation revocation procedures and it shall order restitution pursuant to section 13‑603, subsection C where there is a victim who has suffered economic loss.  When granting probation to an adult the court, as a condition of probation, shall assess a monthly fee of not less than sixty-five dollars unless, after determining the inability of the probationer to pay the fee, the court assesses a lesser fee.  This fee is not subject to any surcharge.  In justice and municipal courts the fee shall only be assessed when the person is placed on supervised probation.  For persons placed on probation in the superior court, the fee shall be paid to the clerk of the superior court and the clerk of the court shall pay all monies collected from this fee to the county treasurer for deposit in the adult probation services fund established by section 12‑267.  For persons placed on supervised probation in the justice court, the fee shall be paid to the justice court and the justice court shall transmit all of the monies to the county treasurer for deposit in the adult probation services fund established by section 12‑267.  For persons placed on supervised probation in the municipal court, the fee shall be paid to the municipal court.  The municipal court shall transmit all of the monies to the city treasurer who shall transmit the monies to the county treasurer for deposit in the adult probation services fund established by section 12‑267.  Any amount assessed pursuant to this subsection shall be used to supplement monies used for the salaries of adult probation and surveillance officers and for support of programs and services of the superior court adult probation departments.

B.  The period of probation shall be determined according to section 13‑902, except that if a person is released pursuant to section 31-233, subsection B and community supervision is waived pursuant to section 13-603, subsection K, the court shall extend the period of probation by the amount of time the director of the state department of corrections approves for the inmate's temporary release.

C.  The court, in its discretion, may issue a warrant for the rearrest of the defendant and may modify or add to the conditions or, if the defendant commits an additional offense or violates a condition, may revoke probation in accordance with the rules of criminal procedure at any time before the expiration or termination of the period of probation.  If the court revokes the defendant's probation and the defendant is serving more than one probationary term concurrently, the court may sentence the person to terms of imprisonment to be served consecutively.

D.  At any time during the probationary term of the person released on probation, any probation officer, without warrant or other process and at any time until the final disposition of the case, may rearrest any person and bring the person before the court.

E.  The court, on its own initiative or on application of the probationer, after notice and an opportunity to be heard for the prosecuting attorney and, on request, the victim, may terminate the period of probation or intensive probation and discharge the defendant at a time earlier than that originally imposed if in the court's opinion the ends of justice will be served and if the conduct of the defendant on probation warrants it.

F.  When granting probation the court may require that the defendant be imprisoned in the county jail at whatever time or intervals, consecutive or nonconsecutive, the court shall determine, within the period of probation, as long as the period actually spent in confinement does not exceed one year or the maximum period of imprisonment permitted under chapter 7 of this title, whichever is the shorter.

G.  If restitution is made a condition of probation, the court shall fix the amount of restitution and the manner of performance pursuant to chapter 8 of this title.

H.  When granting probation, the court shall set forth at the time of sentencing and on the record the factual and legal reasons in support of each sentence.

I.  If the defendant meets the criteria set forth in section 13‑901.01 or 13‑3422, the court may place the defendant on probation pursuant to either section.  If a defendant is placed on probation pursuant to section 13‑901.01 or 13‑3422, the court may impose any term of probation that is authorized pursuant to this section and that is not in violation of section 13‑901.01.

START_STATUTE15-213.01.  Procurement practices; guaranteed energy cost savings contracts; definitions

A.  Notwithstanding section 15‑213, subsection A, a school district may contract for the procurement of a guaranteed energy cost savings contract with a qualified provider through a competitive sealed proposal process as provided by the procurement practices adopted by the state board of education.  To the extent the qualified provider subcontracts with contractors who will be involved in any construction associated with the guaranteed energy cost savings contract, the qualified provider must follow the provisions of section 41‑2533 in selecting these contractors.

B.  A school district may enter into a guaranteed energy cost savings contract with a qualified provider if it determines that the amount it would spend on the energy cost savings measures recommended in the proposal would not exceed the amount to be saved in energy and operational costs over the expected life of the energy cost savings measures implemented or within twenty-five years, whichever is shorter, after the date installation or implementation is complete, if the recommendations in the proposal are followed.  The school district shall retain the cost savings achieved by a guaranteed energy cost saving contract, and these cost savings may be used to pay for the contract and project implementation.  A school district shall not use excess utilities monies for the contract or for project implementation.

C.  The school district shall use objective criteria in selecting the qualified provider, including the cost of the contract, the energy and operational cost savings, the net projected energy savings, the quality of the technical approach, the quality of the project management plan, the financial solvency of the qualified provider and the experience of the qualified provider with projects of similar size and scope.  The school district shall set forth each criterion with its respective numerical weighting in the request for proposal.

D.  In selecting a contractor to perform any construction work related to performing the guaranteed energy cost savings contract, the qualified provider may develop and use a prequalification process for contractors wishing to bid on this work.  These prequalifications may require the contractor to demonstrate that the contractor is adequately bonded to perform the work and that the contractor has not failed to perform on a prior job. The qualified provider may use performance specifications in soliciting bids from contractors.

E.   An in‑depth feasibility study shall be performed by the selected qualified provider in order to establish the exact scope of the guaranteed energy cost savings contract, the fixed cost savings guarantee amount and the methodology for determining actual savings.  This report shall be reviewed and approved by the school district before the actual installation of any equipment.  The qualified provider shall transmit a copy of the approved in‑depth feasibility study to the school facilities board and the department of commerce energy office superintendent of public instruction.

F.  The guaranteed energy cost savings contract shall require that a qualified provider perform an energy audit of the facility or facilities one year after the energy cost savings measures are installed or implemented and every three years thereafter for the length of the contract.  The qualified provider shall transmit a copy of the audit to the superintendent of public instruction.  The qualified provider shall pay the cost of the audit.  In determining whether the projected energy savings calculations have been met, the energy or operational cost savings shall be computed by comparing the energy baseline before installation or implementation of the energy cost savings measures with the energy consumed and operational costs avoided after installation or implementation of the energy cost savings measures.  The qualified provider and the school district may agree to make modifications to the energy baseline only for any of the following:

1.  Changes in utility rates.

2.  Changes in the number of days in the utility billing cycle.

3.  Changes in the square footage of the facility.

H.  When submitting a proposal for the installation of equipment, the qualified provider shall include information on the projected energy savings associated with each proposed energy cost savings measure.

I.  A school district, or two or more school districts, may enter into an installment payment contract or lease‑purchase agreement with a qualified provider for the purchase and installation or implementation of energy cost savings measures.  The guaranteed energy cost savings contract may provide for payments over a period of not more than the expected life of the energy cost savings measures implemented or twenty‑five years, whichever is shorter. The contract shall provide that all payments, except obligations on termination of the contract before its expiration, shall be made over time.

J.  The guaranteed energy cost savings contract shall include a written guarantee of the qualified provider that either the energy or operational costs savings, or both, will meet or exceed the costs of the energy cost savings measures over the expected life of the energy cost savings measures implemented or within twenty-five years, whichever is shorter.  The qualified provider shall

1.  For the first three years of savings, prepare a measurement and verification report on an annual basis in addition to an annual reconciliation of savings.

2.  reimburse the school district for any shortfall of guaranteed energy cost savings on an annual basis.

K.  The school district may obtain any required financing as part of the original competitive sealed proposal process from the qualified provider or a third-party financing institution.

L.  A qualified provider that is awarded the contract shall give a sufficient bond to the school district for its faithful performance of the equipment installment.

M.  When selecting subcontractors to perform construction work, the qualified provider is required to make public information in the subcontractor's bids only if the qualified provider is awarded the guaranteed energy cost savings contract by the school district.

N.  For all projects carried out under this section, the district shall report to the department of commerce energy office and the school facilities board:

1.  The name of the project.

2.  The qualified provider.

3.  The total cost of the project.

4.  The expected energy and cost savings.

O.  For all projects carried out under this section, the district shall report to the school facilities board, by October 15 each year, the actual energy and cost savings.

P.  N.  This section does not apply to the construction of new buildings.

Q.  A school district may utilize a simplified energy performance contract for projects less than five hundred thousand dollars.  Simplified energy performance contracts are not required to include an energy savings guarantee and shall comply with all requirements in this section except for the requirements that are specifically related to the energy savings guarantee and the measurement and verification of the guaranteed savings.
