(2) Submission of a cost-benefit analysis of any deviations from the lowest life cycle cost proposal contained in other design proposals requested by or prepared for submission to the public body.   b. The public body may request additional design proposals in light of funds available for construction, aesthetic considerations, or any other reason.   c.

The report shall also address potential redundancy and conflicts within existing state law regarding life cycle cost analysis and recommend the resolution of any problems which are identified.   4.
