The total costs for an asbestos abatement, code violation, energy conservation, or network wiring project eligible for review and approval under this subsection shall not exceed one million dollars. Except for projects for which state assistance is not sought and projects for which the town or regional school district is using a state contract pursuant to subsection (d) of this section, no school building project described in this subsection shall go out for bidding purposes prior to the receipt and acceptance by the Department of Administrative Services of such written approval.

(c) On and after October 1, 1991, if the Commissioner of Administrative Services does not complete his or her review pursuant to subsection (a) of this section, not later than thirty days after the date of receipt of final plans for a school building project, a town or regional school district may submit such final plans to local officials having jurisdiction over such matters for review and written approval. In such case, the school district shall notify the commissioner of such action and no such school building project shall go out for bidding purposes prior to the receipt by the commissioner of such written approval, except for projects for which the town or regional school district is using a state contract pursuant to subsection (d) of this section.

(d) If the Department of Administrative Services makes a state contract available for use by towns or regional school districts, a town or regional school district may use such contract, provided the actual estimate for the school building project under the state contract is not given until receipt by the town or regional school district of approval of the plan pursuant to this section.
