Part 3. Product-specific sustainability criteria
To count, the criteria must address the specific sustainability challenges and impacts associated with products and/or services in each category, e.g. by requiring or giving preference to multi-criteria sustainability standards, certifications and labels appropriate to the category. Broader, institution-wide policies should be reported in Part 1, above.
Chemically intensive products and services
Yes
A brief description of the published sustainability criteria for chemically intensive products and services:
Mandatory contract to purchase cleaning supplies for state-owned buildings. Awarded vendors must provide competitive pricing for the state’s most commonly used cleaning chemical products and janitorial supplies, this solicitation will provide Equivalent products and Green Certified (Green Seal, Ecologo or EPA DfE) cleaning chemical products. Awarded vendors of the contract resulting from this RFB are expected to work with authorized end-users to replace non-Green certified cleaning chemicals with Green certified (Green Seal, Ecologo or EPA DfE certified) cleaning chemicals through product testing processes. Contractors are also expected to provide end-users with current cleaning methods and techniques for using Green Certified cleaning chemicals.
Consumable office products
Yes
A brief description of the published sustainability criteria for consumable office products:
Paper must contain 40% recycled content.
In the case of paper, specifications will use the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) definitions of the terms recovered material and postconsumer recovered material.
Based on the following general recycled content criteria, paper specifications will achieve the maximum postconsumer content that is reasonable available from at least two manufacturers and that satisfies performance standards.
The criteria for determining realistic recycled content specifications are:
1. Adequate supply;
2. Competitive market with at least two manufacturers producing the specified content; and
3. Reasonable price.
Specifications should not contain unnecessary prohibitions to products made from recycled materials or recovered materials.
Bidding procedures for recycled products
Agencies will determine the suitability of recycled products for their use by determining appropriate performance and/or quality requirements.
Price and availability of recycled products will influence an agency's choice of one of the following bid structures.
1. The recycled product is specified and bid independently.
2. The recycled product and its non-recycled counterpart are combined into a single low bid category only when both products are definitely comparable in price.
3. The recycled product and non-recycled counterpart are included on one bid but are in different lots for which separate awards can be made.
4. Bidding the recycled product is encouraged as an option or an alternative.
5. Information on recycled products is requested but does not form an integral part of the specification.
Recycled paper purchase requirement for each agency
The average recycled content of all paper purchased, measured as a proportion by weight of the fiber content, must be at least 40% of all purchased paper.
Definitions
1."Paper purchases" include procurement of paper and paper products, as well as paper purchased through services where paper is a substantial portion of the overall cost of the service, such as printing, quick-copy, and computer print-out.
2."Calculating the recycled fiber content by weight" means multiplying the percentage recycled by the weight of the paper purchased.
Revision Code 3."Mill certification" is a letter from a paper mill that confirms the recycled content of contracted paper using the EPA definitions of the words recovered material and postconsumer recovered material.

Furniture and furnishings
Yes
A brief description of the published sustainability criteria for furniture and furnishings:
The Building Commission Sustainable Facilities Policy, and Division of State Facilities (DSF) Sustainable Facilities Standards (Standards) prescribe the minimum sustainable requirements for state construction and leased facilities and they apply to all DSF projects without exception, regardless of size or budget. The fundamental purpose is to improve the overall quality and usability of state owned and leased facilities and optimize monetary, material, environmental and human resources.
The Sustainable Facilities Checklist (Excel-spreadsheet form) (Checklist) identifies, records and tracks the applicable standards for a project from Pre-design through Post Construction. At the start of a project, it is critical that the project budget includes the cost of designing and constructing the desired sustainable Requirements. The Agency submits the first Checklist with the Program Statement, the Capitol Budget Request or Building Commission Agency Request. Successive versions of the Checklist record the evolution of the project’s sustainable intent, strategies and design. Final applicability for all Requirements should be determined by the completion of the Preliminary Design phase.
Agencies may request to pursue LEED Certification and note that intention on the Checklist. All applicable requirements of the DSF Sustainable Facilities Standards must be met even if LEED Certification is pursued. The project budget must include all costs associated with the LEED Certification process. Conserve Wisconsin and Executive Order 145 requires state owned and leased properties to be operated in a sustainable manner so if LEED Certification is sought, LEED EB Certification should be pursued by the Agency for measuring and reporting energy usage and conserving resources.

DOA policy regarding professional services and sustainable facilities
Operation and Maintenance Requirement
Intent-Sustainable design and construction is successful only if the building systems and sitescape are proper maintained and operated in accordance with the designed performance. Both operation and maintenance depend on ready access to equipment and systems requiring maintenance and having reliable, easy-to use records of the building systems at the time of occupancy and keeping those records updated and accessible. Staff training also needs to be addressed, particularly for stormwater treatment features, lo water, no-mow landscapes and building mechanical/electrical/plumbing/fire suppression systems.
Requirements-Building management, operations staff and tenants shall reference the DSF Energy Use Policy for guidance in building operations, temperature setpoints and maintenance activities recommended for reducing building energy consumption.
Prepare operation procedures and maintenance checklists for the major energy consuming building systems.
